From the fullness of His grace, we have all received one blessing after another  John 1:16

 

The MBA International Ministries Center (IMC) welcomes all seafarers and internationals. We proclaim the gospel of Jesus to seafarers, refugees, local residents, students, non-English speaking patients in local hospitals, inmates in jail, and provide follow-up ministries to more than 133 nationalities in many languages. The International Ministries Center is open to minister to all nations and the local community.  The center cooperates with many Christians to accomplish the emphases of the MBA.

GOD IS AT WORK

 … in our MBA Language Ministries.
There are many options for Internationals living in and visiting Mobile
to be helped and transformed each week .

Consider Giving a Portion of your VBS Offering to International Ministries.
The MBA International Ministries/Missions committee asks churches and VBS leaders to consider dedicating at least a portion of their VBS offerings to International Ministries. International Ministries is part of the MBA and works to reach the many people from 72 different nations living in Mobile County. This includes ministry to seafarers aboard ships in port, International Language School/ESL classes and church planting. Visit imc.mobilebaptists.org for more information on the vital ministry. Check out this video for an easy way to quickly share/learn about the various ministries to Internationals in Mobile County.

Bobby Morton
Director of International Ministries and Church Planting

I work with our present Language Churches, Language missions and Language Bible Study groups to encourage and equip them to be more effective in their ministries. With the 72 nations living in Mobile County, I am seeking to develop active Bible studies for each of these groups and move them into growing congregations and a part of our Association. Also, I have the seven Language School sites teaching English as a Second Language. Training site leaders and teachers for each of these sites is part of my duties. We offer day and night classes to meet the needs of students. Lastly, I oversee and work closely with our port Chaplains to minister to Seafarers that enter our port.

Volunteer Port Chaplains Needed

International Ministries need several Volunteer Port Chaplains who can drive to and from the ships. The chaplains need to lead Bible Studies on the ships at various times. Volunteers must pass a background check for TWIC access to the ships. Please contact Dr. Bobby Morton for more information, via email or 251-661-7111.
