Jesus told His followers to go into all the world and make disciples; in other words, to go and spread the Good News about God's love to all nations.
God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son that whoever believes in Him shall not die but have eternal life.
John 3:16
Jesus also told His followers that they were to give food to the hungry, clothe the needy, look after the sick, give water to the thirsty, show hospitality to strangers and visit those in prison. (Matthew 25:35-36)
Our mission therefore is to reach out overseas as well as here in Bromham and the locality. Members of the church are involved in links with Kenya, Romania, Spain and so on and we have a special concern for Christians who suffer persecution for their faith, wherever they are.
Bromham Baptist Church supports the work of BMS World Mission. BMS World Mission is a Christian mission organisation, working in around 34 countries on four continents.

This, along with a long-term approach, ethical policies and supreme cultural sensitivity, has made BMS one of the most trusted names in mission worldwide.
