While Covid-19 has us prayerfully approaching missions in a different way, our mission of helping people follow Jesus remains the same. We are in contact with each of our partnerships, and will keep you connected to them through regular updates so we can be praying specifically and intentionally together.

Through foreign and local missions, we live out our purpose to "go" and share the Gospel. We do that by partnering with missionaries, national churches, and organizations. We also send teams from Blue Ridge to support those sharing Jesus in places where God has called us to serve.

If you would like to receive information on these trips, please email missions@blueridge.org and let us know which trip(s) interest you. If you know which trip you would like to attend, please fill out an application now.

2020 BR Global Trips

JANUARY
Nepal
Women's Conference
The church in Nepal is growing rapidly, despite government push back and control. It is a privilege to partner with some solid believers who are doing the work of the ministry all over the country! We are excited to take a small group of women to help with a women’s retreat for a group of 13 churches in Nepal. This trip will continue to encourage the church of Nepal, as well as strengthen women in their faith, no matter where they are in their relationship with the Lord.

Here we will share the Gospel BR Kids style with help from some of the older kids from the Children’s Home. We will be encouraging villagers to connect with their local church as well as take time to talk and pray with them one on one. We are excited to be a part of helping disciple the kids from the Children’s Home as well as share the good news with their villages!
