Faith Promise Focus

 A Testimony of How Missions Awareness at FBA 

Transformed Lives 

Robert & Lara Vitter began attending First Baptist Atlanta on Wednesday nights in 2006. That same year, they were introduced to Missions during Missions Awareness Month in October.

One year later, they were married, baptized, and became members of FBA. But their journey had just begun...

During the FBA Annual Missions Conference in 2007, Robert and Lara, having only recently come to Christ, hosted a Missionary Family. They spent hours sitting around the table listening as this Missionary family poured into them and mentored them. 

As they became fully engaged in FBA, God continued to make them aware of His work around the world through their involvement with a Sunday school class that had a relationship with FBA Missionaries.   

All of these factors, and many more, were transformational in Robert and Lara's lives. So much so, they felt called into full-time Missionary service as well.    

In 2012, Robert & Lara joined FBA's Faith Promise Missionary Family and served in Italy for 7 years until the recent pandemic brought them back to the US.

 Six children (one of whom was recently adopted from Ukraine) and many stories of God's faithfulness later, The Vitters continue to follow the Lord in Missions!
