BGAV International Mission Offering

Sharing the Gospel. Making Disciples.

Through our partnership with the global Christian family, BGAV participates in God's mission around the world. We support indigenous missionaries as they serve their own communities, both in North America and beyond. Sharing funds and resources with reliable, local partners increases the effectiveness of our offering, and it honors the way God empowers and uses Christ's followers in every culture.

In addition, BGAV sends short- and long-term volunteers to work alongside our partners, learning from them and representing our solidarity with the worldwide Body of Christ.

  • We focus on CONNECTING with the global Christian family and supporting national missionaries who know the language, culture, and needs of their own communities.
  • We commit to SERVING alongside each other – learning from one another as we seek to be part of Christ’s presence in the world.
  • We develop THRIVING relationships with local partners, honoring the way God empowers Christ’s followers in every culture and ensuring your gifts have the greatest impact.
