Now an International Mission Board representative back on stateside herself, Dr. Claire shared her story in a series of three Connection Meetings hosted by the Missions Mobilization department of the Mississippi Baptist Convention Board held across Mississippi in mid-July.
“Missions Mobilization exists to come alongside you and your church, to help you in missions and to help mobilize your church on mission,” said Chad McCord, director of the MBCB Missions Mobilization department.
“But we also exist to mobilize your church to find partnerships around the world,” McCord noted. “Meetings like this help us to be aware of people who are serving in very difficult places and how your church can partner with them, through praying, through giving, and through going or sending.”
