Missions at FBC
Jake Dorak - Associate Pastor of Missions & Evangelism
Our goal is to mobilize the Church to glorify God and fulfill the Great Commission. Our strategy is to mobilize the Church for mission both near and far. Our vision is to make disciples as we go to the neighborhoods and the Nations. Therefore we have created programs, events, and partnerships on the local, state, national, and international level for the purpose of living out the Gospel in a Acts 1:8 model.

mAKING DISCIPLES NEAR...
The mission of Manchester FBC is to make disciples of Jesus Christ. We do this near and far. We want to mobilize God's people to go to the neighborhoods and the nations. We make disciples in our community (near) through our ongoing mission partnerships, programs, and events (Read more in the section below). This includes Oakley Ministry Center, the #JesusTent, Hub Church Boston, and The Bridge Church, Oxford. Through serving our community and partnering with church plants in strategic places, our hope is to glorify God and fulfill the Great Commission.
Make disciples far...
Our church has adopted the Wolof people of Paris & West Africa as our unreached people group to pray for, learn about, and seek to reach. The Wolof people are a large ethic group with a population of over four million. Most of them are located in the West African Countries of Senegal and Gambia. In recent years, however, the expansion of peanut cultivation and an acceleration towards urbanization has motivated many of the Wolof to spread out into areas including Paris, France.
According to the joshuaproject.net, professing Christians among the Wolof people in Senegal is at 1%; however, 0% is considered evangelical. The statistics are even more staggering for the Wolof people in France where there is no professing Christian witness at all. The Wolof people of Paris are considered a unreached and
unengaged people group.
As we pray for the Wolof people, the Lord is leading us to begin building relationships in Paris with the hope of eventually moving into the villages of Senegal. We will be sending teams to work in the foyers of Paris where the Wolof people live. Our prayer is to learn how to meet needs and point the Wolof people to Jesus. If you would like more information about to next mission trip to the Wolof people, email: jdorak.fbc@gmail.com.
