What is a Faith Promise? 
Here at First Baptist Atlanta, our Global Missions Ministry
began supporting our missionaries in 1979 through Faith Promise giving. On the
FBA offering envelopes, it is the line that says, “Global Missions – Faith
Promise". This is how we help support our 82 Faith Promise missionaries.
A Faith Promise is:
Believing that God desires every person to hear and respond
to the Gospel.
Committing by faith my resources to be used for spreading
the Gospel through missionary involvement.
Promising by faith to give over and above what God requires
through the tithe.
Giving by faith allowing God to either provide the finances
or to rearrange my priorities to provide the amount I have committed to give.
Anticipating God blessing my faithfulness and expecting Him
to broaden my vision and use me to lead people of “every tongue and nation”
into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.

Download the “Unreached of the Day” App
The Joshua Project is a research organization that focuses on reaching the unreached.
They have spent decades researching every unreached people group in the world.
The
app is one of the easiest ways to expand your vision and passion for
unreached peoples. Every day, the “Unreached of the Day” app presents a
photo, map, basic statistics, and prayer items for a different unreached
people group.
At the bottom of the app, it lets you know how many are currently praying with you.
Jeremy downloaded the "Unreached of the Day” app and every week at his Bible study,
someone in his group reads the people group profile and they pray for the unreached
people group. What an unbelievable tool we have in our pocket with excellent content
and prayer points to pray every single day! Click below to download the app.
