Through international 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.

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.

FEBRUARY
Sierra Leone
BR Kids Only
BR Kids is excited about our partnership with Sierra Leone. Sierra Leone is a very poor and predominantly Muslim country. This February we are going to be taking a team that will be able to go out to remote villages, with new church plants. 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!

Greece | People International
Currently, on the island of Lesvos in Greece, there are thousands of refugees who have fled their war-torn countries in the Middle East and Northern Africa to seek asylum in Europe.
