Our yearly report

Praise the Lord for a great year of work in missions at Metropolitan New York Baptist Association.

Our work in the association building
In September 2009 we began rearranging the association building for mission team housing. This work continued until January 2010. We took down a wall on the 5th floor and set it up as a dorm room for male and females. This room houses 30 volunteer missionaries working with our local churches to reach our world in Christ. We also built two walls, and painted the 3rd floor. This was to section off meeting rooms and the dining/kitchen areas. We also emptied out the basement area from years of outdated material and trash.

We opened the dorm floor in February of 2010 and we have housed 28 teams with a total of 322 people.

Our partnerships
We have completed our second year partnership with the Georgia Baptist State Convention, and have had our first full year partnership with the North Carolina Baptist State Convention. We had made over 60 mission team request to our partners with great results. There have been hundreds of volunteer missionaries that have come to work hand in hand with our association churches doing back yard Bible clubs, VBS, surveys, witnessing, light construction, teaching, donating material, and helping financially. We have even had teams working in our association building doing construction and painting.
