SERVE AROUND THE WORLD
Central Bible Church has a rich history of sending gospel-centered workers around the world. To learn more about our partners contact Central Missions.
We live in a global community in which believers have access to nations and peoples that were formerly unengaged with the Gospel. Global travel no longer requires weeks or months on the seas. In fact, there are now direct flights from DFW to Dubai. In the midst of these unprecedented opportunities, we joyfully respond to the call to "Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation" (Mark 16:15).
Short-term mission teams are groups of people who travel to another location (domestically or internationally) for a week or two with the purpose of making God known to a particular community. Often, these teams are linked to CBC Global Partners serving around the world. These trips are not haphazard, nor are they glorified vacations. Rather, CBC short-term mission teams carry out intentional activities (such as evangelism, orphan care, construction, missionary support, medical care, etc.) that bring hope to dark places.
When submitting your forms to our Global Missions Ministry or your trip leader, please include a copy of the photograph page from your current passport, if available.
We are keeping in close contact with our Global Partners and various organizations such as Center for Disease Control and the World Health Organization. Based on this information, we are considering any needs to adjust, postpone, or cancel trips. We will continue to make updates as information becomes available. At the same time, we are encouraging individuals involved in trips to prayerfully consider any decision to travel by consulting with medical professionals, as appropriate.
