Gospel Outreach is at the heart of what we do as churches in Association. Helping our churches to share the Good News of salvation through the completed work of Jesus Christ on the cross will always be Priority Number 1 and permeate all of our other ministries.

Goal: By 2020, every church in the Blue River Kansas City Baptist Association will be sharing the Gospel locally, nationally, and internationally as a result of mission urgency, training, and opportunity.

Action Plans:

1. The Gospel Outreach (GO) ministry team will carry out the action plans for the Gospel Outreach objective. This team will consist of volunteers from associational churches with a passion for Gospel Outreach. Two team leaders will be selected annually by the associational staff.
   
   
2. By the April 2010 Executive Board Meeting, the GO ministry team will encourage every church to sign a Covenant of Prayer related to gospel outreach; personally, corporately and associationally.
   
   
3. Annually, the GO ministry team will provide consultative customized evangelism training for churches desiring to grow in Gospel Outreach.
   
   
4. Annually, the GO ministry team will assist churches and campus missionaries with Gospel Outreach to college students.
   
   
5. Annually, the GO ministry team will challenge every existing “going church” to intentionally partner with another church or churches who are not involved in a local, national and international mission effort.
   
   
6. By 2010, the GO ministry team will assist regional churches within the association to begin a cooperative effort through evangelism events and projects for reaching unchurched people within that region.
   
   
7. By 2010, the GO ministry team will identify both a North American people group and an international unengaged unreached people.
   
   
8. By 2011, the GO ministry team will lead an associational effort for initial engagement of both aNorth American people group and an international unengaged unreached people group.
