Get involved and make a difference here at MBC.

Jesus told us, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few” (Luke 10:2, NIV). At MBC, we believe every single follower of Jesus has been given a spiritual gift and should be equipped to serve in the body of Christ. (1 Cor 12:7) Your gifts are needed more than ever in this season of our church.

Invest in everything that makes our community possible.

We want to help you leverage your God-given abilities to make a difference and find fulfillment as we labor together in God’s harvest field. Check out these serving opportunities and click the “Join the Crew” link for more information about your particular area of interest.

Support Ukraine

by

#PrayFor Ukraine

The war in Ukraine has already resulted in a flood of refugees fleeing from locations of violence and vulnerability. If you would like to help, here are three organizations for your consideration:

 

 

United World Mission

United World Mission gives option to help the seminary’s work with refugees, or to give to the seminary itself. United World Mission’s network of seminaries in Ukraine have opened their doors and residential facilities to those in need of temporary shelter. You can help these refugees obtain food, temporary shelter, and transportation as well as long-term needs of the Ukrainian refugees.

 

MBC’s World Partners, John and Stella White, serve in Kyiv, where they both teach at the Ukrainian Evangelical Theological Seminary (UETS). John and Stella are currently home in the U.S. and recently visited MBC to give an update on the situation. You can watch the interview at the beginning of the service HERE.

 

WorldVenture

WorldVenture has an ongoing disciple-making presence in Ukraine and had a past presence in Russia for many years.

 

Hundreds of refugees are fleeing into Poland with lines on the Ukraine side of the border being two to three days long. Churches in Poland stand ready to offer clothing, food, and shelter to Ukrainians fleeing the violence. The WorldVenture team stand with them, actively working even as we speak to give practical aid to refugees from driving to the border to give them rides to offering up their homes.

 

Many women and children were forced to travel alone, as men under age 60 were not allowed to leave the country. They have no place to go, are living out of a suitcase, and have no idea where their next meal is coming from. Our missionaries and local churches want to help as much as possible, but funds are limited. We desire to be the hands and feet of Jesus.

 

Funds from this project will be used to assist Ukrainian refugees who are relocating to Poland. The length of their stay is unknown, and their needs are varied. Our desire is to assist them as much as possible, which may include, but is not limited to, housing, household goods, clothing, job placement, and counseling.

 

 

Josiah Venture

Josiah Venture is responding to the urgent crisis in Ukraine in two ways: by supporting the work of our team and local churches on the ground inside Ukraine and by assisting Ukrainian refugees as they move into neighboring countries.

 

Most JV Ukrainian national missionaries are currently staying in Ukraine to serve those around them. They are coordinating with churches inside Ukraine to provide desperately needed shelter, food, evacuation, medical supplies, personal care, spiritual encouragement, Bibles, and the hope-filled message of the gospel during this crisis. Some of our missionaries have even been put in charge of city-wide operations for emergency aid, shelter, and refugee care.

 

JV staff in Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, Romania, and Hungary are assisting refugees coming across the Ukrainian border. They are prepared to provide full-scale accommodations for up to 400 refugees in and around our training centers in the coming weeks, as well as help them flow through to local churches for long-term care. Most of these refugees are women and children, many of whom had to leave their husbands in Ukraine since they are required to stay and defend the country.

 

The JV team is making sure they have food, clothing, personal items, supplies for small infants and children, personal counseling, Ukrainian-language Bibles, and many other practical and spiritual needs.

 

Josiah Venture is supporting them throughout this crisis and preparing up a long-term program for providing assistance afterward.

 

Your donations to our Ukraine Crisis Fund will directly support this effort.

Women’s Winter Retreat

Restoring our Connection with God...Others...Ourselves

March 15-17, DoubleTree Hotel, Lancaster, PA

The Lord has been so Faithful to Millington Baptist Church through the years and our Women’s Ministry is excited to invite women to a special weekend of fellowship, refreshment, and inspiration in the heart of Amish country in beautiful Lancaster, PA.

Over four insightful sessions, we’ll unravel the mysteries and timeless lessons embedded in this ancient text. We’ll delve into prophetic visions, historical narratives, and profound wisdom, which we hope will be inspiring and challenging. Don’t miss this enriching experience that promises to deepen your appreciation for the spiritual treasures concealed in the pages of one of the Bible’s most intriguing books.

Esther Goetz

About Esther: I was born and grew up a missionary kid in war-torn Ethiopia.  I now live in rural New Jersey in a house surrounded by perennial gardens where you will find me digging in the dirt or basking in the glory of it all.

 

When I’m not on a date with my husband of 30 years, I’m writing, watching crime shows, figuring out the cures for all the world’s problems with a friend, or being a mom to four grownish kids and one adorable preschool grandson. 

 

I have a fierce passion to restore hope for the sacred space where our hearts and our homes meet. This includes faith, marriage and motherhood.

 

My husband wrote this haiku for me and it’s who and what I hope to be and share with you:

 

Alive to passion.

Inside beautiful outside.

To Christ she is true.
