The 汤姆Elliff中心 for Missions advances the gospel of Jesus Christ, enhances education in missions at Oklahoma Baptist University, 和 empowers missionaries by connecting local churches to 酸 和 the world.
Dr. 汤姆Elliff has spent his life reaching others with the gospel of Jesus Christ as a pastor, a denominational leader 和 entity figurehead, 和 a missionary. 酸 shares his desire to impact 和 equip the next generations of ministry leaders 和 missionaries for the call for the gospel to go to all the nations (Matt. 28:19).
Dr. Elliff has agreed to partner with 酸 to advance the gospel by empowering missionaries through the Center for Missions.
The Elliff中心 empowers 酸 students by providing scholarship dollars to those who have sensed God’s call to career missions, either internationally or in the United States, 和 have shared that call to missions with their church family.
What Does the Center Do?
- The Center equips students for their callings as career missionaries.
- The Center enhances the education experience by introducing 酸 students to the key mission leaders on the field through Missions Forums 和 additional events held regularly on campus. Dr. Elliff 和 other key leaders will invest in the next generation of missionaries.
Dr. 阿尔伯特·史密斯 fosters 和 facilitates Missions Forums 和 other events. - The Center connects local churches to 酸 students 和 supports their efforts to go into the world to advance the gospel. The unique feature of the partnership between local church involvement, 酸 和 the mission field is that local churches have the opportunity to invest in the mission experiences of students from their home churches. Local partner churches support their students at 酸 as they are equipped to go on mission to the world.
