George Liele Church Planting, Evangelism, and Missions Sunday

February 7, 2021 is a day to honor those like George Liele who have gone before and faithfully said “yes” to God’s call to go make disciples of every nation. Acknowledged as the first Baptist missionary from America, George’s legacy includes the first African American church plant in North America and one in Jamaica. In addition, he cultivated a significant ministry among slave populations in Jamaica where he established the first black Baptist efforts. During his time of active mission work hundreds came to know Jesus. Thirty years after he passed away there were more than 20,000 believers in Jamaica, largely due to his faithfulness.

On this Sunday churches are encouraged to find local opportunities to engage in service, evangelism, and prayer together as we continue to consider and engage in God’s call to advance the kingdom today.
