Georgia Baptists Ministries range from disaster relief, soup kitchens, pregnancy resource centers, medical, dental and vision clinics state wide. In 2008, when the Mothers' Day Tornado struck Macon, Georgia Baptist Associations served 3,000 hot meals and assisted with clean up. Over the years the Georgia Baptist Convention has served those in Bibb County through feeding individuals in need and providing funds to reduce healthcare costs for those who are underinsured or uninsured. A total amount of $892,500 has been invested in the Mid-State area, which has assisted groups to help clients with a variety of life-threatening medical concerns.
Georgia Baptist Convention state missionaries seek to reduce lostness by focusing with Baptists on spiritual renewal resulting in Kingdom generosity, church revitalization, church planting, and authentic evangelism.
