Missions

EASTSIDE Baptist Church is committed to sharing the good news of Jesus Christ with others in Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria and the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8). We have historically been a church planting and mission sending church. As a member church of the Southern Baptist Convention and the White River Baptist Association, we financially support missions through the Cooperative Program and our annual March to Missions giving. We believe being a missional church is more than financial and prayer support, it also includes going. We encourage our members to participate through scheduled mission trips.

Haiti's Eden Limbe was founded in 2010 by Monel & Joselie Jules. Haiti's Eden is the result of their vision to give back to their community. Both born in Limbe, Northern Haiti, Monel and Joselie dreamed of using their education and training to transform their hometown for the Glory of God and to further His Kingdom. Monel serves as the full-time Senior Pastor for the Eden Church and Director of the Community Center. Joselie is the Physician in Chief at the medical clinic. Motivated every day by their vision to "Share the love of Jesus within the community," Monel, Joselie, and their small staff seek to help people find a relationship with the Lord through the testimony of the church, enriching the social and economic quality of life, and providing for basic healthcare needs.

1000 Deep is in Terengganu, Malaysia. The vision is to send 1000 disciples of Christ to sow Gospel sharing relationships among unengaged peoples throughout ECO outdoor trips like hiking, hunting, island snorkeling, cooking and foodie tours, culture tours, and more. Chris Mcilravy grew up in Mountain Home and attended ESBC as a youth. His prayer is that through outdoor activities, they can share the gospel with local guides.
