Missions Week 26

The following information was taken directly from the email sent out by the Seventh Day Baptist Missionary Society. Not all original links copied over.

"But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

Acts 1:8 NIV

Our theme this week is "From Everywhere to Everywhere," which is another way to say polycentric missions. Polycentric missions means that there is not one center that flows out, but many places going and receiving, leading and following. This naturally flows from Christianity, as it is the only major world religion without a holy city or a primary culture. You can find more resources about polycentric missions here, here, and here.

The SDB Missionary Society has a history of working with our partners around the world as they do kingdoom work - going from everywhere to everywhere. And we push further into this paradigm with our updated strategic vision and the unveiling of the new Missions Mobilization Network.

Each donation made through the Missions Week donation link supports the work of the Missions Mobilization Network (MMN). The purpose of the MMN is to formalize existing partnerships and provide a clearer structure that strengthens communication, coordination, and shared mission engagement, allowing us to multiply our missions impact together. This network reflects a mobilization-focused approach to missions that recognizes the strengths, insight, and capacity our global partners bring. Rather than directing their work, our role centers on mobilizing, empowering, supporting, and connecting Conferences as they lead mission efforts within their own contexts. The church raising the most funding for Missions Week 2026 will be recognized at Conference 2026 during the awards ceremony.
