BROADMAN MISSIONS & OUTREACH 

Romans 10:14-15

"How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher? and how shall they preach, except they be sent? even as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that bring glad tidings of good things!"

Broadman Baptist Church Mission Opportunities:

• Broadman sets aside funding for missions directly out of the budget.  Our mission allocation is according to ACTS 1:8 philosophy.  Therefore, we have local mission/outreach allocations and then go global.  Broadman has local outreach/missions allocations for literature, public relations, community events like the 4th of July Parade, The Community Expo Center, Chamber of Commerce luncheons, Vacation Bible School and more.  We give to the Summit Baptist Association to support local mission efforts and church plants.  We also give to the Cooperative Program to support mission efforts in North American (NAMB) and Internationally (IMB). 
• As part of our mission/outreach efforts we offer the following practical mission/outreach opportunities:

1. A food pantry for the needy
   
2. Delivering fruit baskets for church shut-ins and people in need (Thanksgiving & Christmas...or as needed)
   
3. Supporting the Haven of Rest with offerings and materials
4. Filling Christmas Shoe Boxes sponsored by Samaritan’s Purse.
5. We reach out to students at Kent State University and Akron University.
6. Adopted the Kent State Football Team as our outreach emphasis.
7. Go on one major mission project annually examples (Katrina Relief, Cleveland Hope, Faith Ranch)
8. Have a mission of the month every month helping with a local or global need.  The mission of the month is intended to be hands on helping the church focus on the many mission/outreach opportunities that exist in our community and world.
9. Deacon Benevolence - we take up a monthly benevolence offering to help those in need in our church family and community.
