MISSIONS PARTNERS

“It is the whole mission of the whole church to preach the whole Gospel to the whole world.” — Charles Spurgeon

We believe Emmanuel Baptist Church should the hands and feet of Jesus to our community and the world. That is why it is a part of our mission to partner with local and global organizations to share the love of Christ in a broken world.

KENNY AND JOCELYN HANCOCK

Kenny and Jocelyn Hancock, along with their daughters Keira and Layla, serve with the Missionary Aviation Repair Center (MARC) in Soldotna, Alaska.  MARC advances the Gospel by providing aviation support to missionaries, pastors, churches, and Bible camps serving Alaska’s remote communities. Unlike most of the United States, much of Alaska is not connected by a road system. Hundreds of villages can only be reached by air, boat, or seasonal travel, making aircraft an essential tool for ministry, transportation, and outreach.
As a missionary pilot, flight instructor, and mechanic, Kenny helps maintain and operate mission aircraft while training future aviators for ministry. Jocelyn supports the ministry through hospitality, communications, and outreach. Together, they help provide the aviation, maintenance, and logistical support that enables ministries to reach isolated communities across Alaska.  The Hancocks are grateful for the opportunity to use aviation to support missionaries, strengthen churches, and help bring the hope of Christ to people throughout Alaska.

BRIAN AND SONYA CRISMAN

Currently, the Crismans are serving with Heart of the Bride Ministries in Niceville, FL. Brian is the Executive Director and he coordinates all of the partner ministries of Heart of the Bride and directs day to day operations. He is passionate about ministry to orphaned and vulnerable children and leading the church to do what it is called to do: to visit orphans where they are with love, practical help, and the life-changing gospel of Jesus.
