1. Missions Guide 2015
Tom McCoy, Lead Pastor

2. -Pastor Reagan
TSC Family,
Recently, I was at a conference in Atlanta called Catalyst Change,
where Andy Stanley asked each of us two questions:
Question #1: Who are you? Question #2: What breaks your
heart? Stanley went on to say that it is in these two questions
that true calling is found.
Missions is no longer a new thing to Thompson Station Church. We have been to many countries,
served in lots of different cities, and shared the message of Christ with countless men, women,
and children. I believe the question no longer then is whether or not TSC will be willing to serve
in missions, but what specifically the Lord is calling us to, and how laser-focused we are on the
purpose He has created us for.
As you read through these pages, my prayer is that God would continue to show you what you
were created for, and that one page in particular would begin… or continue… to burden your
heart.

6. International Missions Board (IMB)
Recently, God called David Platt to be the President of the International
Mission Board. Because of the IMB’s mission to reach the people in our
world who truly are the least reached, TSC gives 25% of our
GOCTW offering each year to help men and women all over the world be
able to read and understand God’s Word, and to send missionaries like
the woman in the background to help them have access to the Gospel of
Jesus Christ. To see what the IMB is doing all over the world, go to
imb.org.

7. Baptist Global Response
Baptist Global Response is helping people all over the world who are suffering with
HIV/AIDS like this man, who are hungry and thirsty, or who are going through some
type of natural or political disaster in their country. BGR is on the front lines and
works with the first responders in virtually every type of human problem worldwide.
They are also sharing the love and message of Jesus Christ everywhere they serve!
TSC gives to BGR through GO Change the World giving each year. Visit
baptistglobalresponse.com

8. TSC will be partnering with Iraqi and Syrian refugees like these little girls in
the Middle East by helping to give them food, shelter, and the Gospel
through the GO Change the World Offering. Many of the families helped
are believers who have lost their homes and fled for their lives due to the
persecution by ISIS. Find out more about how to help at:
worldcompassion.tv/help-refugees/

9. TSC now partners with African Leadership and their network of African pastors like
the man above in the countries of Congo and Malawi. Through our GOCTW offering
and people like you, TSC now ministers to orphans and widows in the Democratic
Republic of Congo, funds the training of pastors in Malawi, and also is making sure
pastors in Malawi have Bibles for their congregations. To find out more about how
God is changing the country of Africa through the church, go to:
AfricanLeadershipInc.org

10. East Asia
TSC has sent two missionary families to East Asia to
reach the Zhuang people, and was able to partner with
them by sending two teams in 2014. TSC must continue
to partner with this adopted people group by sending
teams to encourage our missionaries and to reach
people for Christ where he is not yet known this year!
9

11. Chosen children—Nicaragua
TSC has been taking trips with Chosen Children’s Ministries for 14 years. It
has been amazing how God has used this ministry to reach the people of
Nicaragua. CCM currently operates 3 mission complexes, 18 church plants,
and an orphanage in three different parts of Nicaragua. This ministry is
always seeking God’s direction in new areas of the country to minister to,
and our church loves to be a part in supporting CCM!
10

12. Kosovo
TSC continues to love on people in the war-torn country of
Kosovo. The majority of the people are atheist or Muslims
historically, but are very open to the Gospel if someone will
love on them and share Jesus with them. What’s also exciting
is that Pastor Eric will be leading a group from our Columbia
Campus on their first mission trip to Pristina, Kosovo in 2015!
11

13. Country of Georgia
In 2014, TSC partnered with missionaries, Tim and Katie Douglas,
by leading a student camp and giving out Operation Christmas
Child boxes to gain ministry access to a refugee village. After
loving on the community’s kids all week and many kids making
professions of faith, a TSC team was able to pass out Bibles until
we ran out. We were also able to share Christ in homes in a
community that prior to that had no Gospel access. Now,
nationals from a church near by are leading a bible study in this community. 12

14. In 2015, it is our desire to continue to plant churches and partner with church planters in
the Western, Midwestern, and Northeastern US. Over 32 major cities have been identified
as “Send Cities” across our nation that have a very low percentage of believers living in
them. And yet, we have seen God reach an average of 400-500 new people going to church
plants that we have partnered with in these locations over the past few years. This
includes church plants in Maine, Pennsylvania, Cincinnati, Indianapolis, & Tucson. In 2015,
we will add Denver and Las Vegas to the list! For more information on cities that need
churches, go to:
namb.net/overview-why-send13

15. The West—Las Vegas
Heiden and Neena Ratner are desiring to plant a church in
the suburbs of Las Vegas, where 92% of people do not
affiliate themselves with any type of religion. TSC, along
with Hope Baptist Church in Las Vegas and the NAMB, will
be planting Walk Church in 2015! walkchurch.com
14

16. The West—Denver / Tucson
Steve & Shari Chamblee and Jay & Denise
Huffstetler are church planters in the city
of Tucson, starting a church called Grace
Fellowship! TSC has partnered in Tucson
over the past 5 years, and has seen Grace
Fellowship grow while sending several mission teams there. They are also working to plant a
church in the area themselves as well. Our Young Adults Pastor, Jon Taylor, and his wife Lisa,
served at Grace Fellowship before coming on staff with us! gracefellowshipaz.org
Storyline Fellowship is a new church plant that TSC will begin working with in 2015. Ben and
Lynley were called from Jackson, TN to become church planters in Arvada, CO, a suburb of
Denver. Ben’s desire is for Storyline to become
one of many churches planted in the coming
years in the Denver area, and his desire is for
Storyline to officially launch in early 2015.

17. TSC supports church planters Dan
and Joy Nichols, who serve at
Restored Church in Wilkes-Barre,
Pennsylvania. They took an old
abandoned church building, and
now use it to meet weekly with
around 170 in attendance! In 2015, TSC will be sending its first team to
Wilkes-Barre! For more information on Restored Church, go to restoredchurch.org!
Joey and Rose Marshall lead Living Stone Community Church which avg. nearly 100
each week in one of the hardest places in the US to plant a church! They are also
now in the process of starting a 2nd
church! Pastor Steve Witt leads a
mission team each year to serve the
people of Standish and Westbrook,
which are towns near
Portland, Maine.
Northeast—Wilkes-Barre / Maine

18. Paul and Kristen Crichton are church
planters in the city of Cincinnati, which
holds 2.1 million people. Currently,
there is only 1 SBC church for every
20,000 people in this city. TSC supports
Paul and Kristen and all of the church planters listed in the missions guide
through the GOCTW offering. Cincinnati is also just 5 hours away, so you can go
and help anytime!
Jeremiah and Cyndi are planting in Noblesville, Indiana, which is a suburb of
Indianapolis. Indy, like Cincinnati, is an area that was once thriving with churches,
but many of those churches have now
either died or only have people in them
that are 55 and older. Jeremiah and
Cyndi desire to reach young families
and their kids! Learn more about them
at generationchurch.cc!
Midwest—Cincinnati / Indianapolis

19. GUATEMALA
In 2014, TSC partnered with Hermitage Hills Baptist
Church in Nashville and Shalom Baptist Church in
Guatemala to help build a church building for the
community of Las Conchas. One of TSC’s longest
running partnerships, Las Conchas, is a suburb of
Guatemala City.
18

20. Uruguay—Campus Crusade
TSC will continue to partner in the South American city,
Montevideo, and the squatter village of La Arboleda and
others like it that surround the city. TSC will continue to
share Christ to children, students, and adults on these
trips, leading evangelistic outreach events and meeting
the needs of those outside the city that live in a very
poor and depressed society.
19

21. Mazatlan, Mexico
TSC hopes that students like these in Mazatlan,
Mexico will be faithful followers of Jesus Christ.
TSC has partnered with church plants and ministry
in their city by supporting Joe and Laurie Pacheco
through the GO Change the World Offering. Pastor
Joe leads Spirit and Truth Church, and has helped
to plant several other churches in the area.
20

22. Haiti—Mission of Grace
In January 2015, TSC will be working with orphans and
the people of Haiti by partnering with Mission of Grace
and Project Hope. There are so many ways to partner
with the people of Haiti as they have many needs! If
you’d like to get more information about our Haiti team,
email Sonja Morgan at nursebroker1@bellsouth.net.

23. Hope 1:17—Orphan, Foster, & Adoption Care
TSC wants every abandoned and orphaned child
to know that there is hope!
Hope 1:17 is a ministry of Thompson Station
Church that champions orphan care, foster care,
adoption, and investing in any way possible into
the life of a child in need. Find out what you can
do to help one child by contacting Teri Froman at
teri.froman@yahoo.com.
22

24. Big Creek Missions—Kentucky
TSC’s 5th-6th Grade Mission Trip over spring break each year partners with
the poorest of the poor in the US by ministering to the people of Appalachia
through Big Creek Missions. For many of our students this has become their
first-ever mission trip. Families are also able to take this trip together! Learn
more about what all the 5th-6th graders and their families can do at
bigcreekmissions.org

25. TBC Disaster Relief / Carpenters for Christ
What if a severe thunderstorm caused a tree to fall on your house? What if a
tornado had ripped through your neighborhood? What if you had no money,
and didn’t know even where to start to put your home back in order?
TSC is now partnering with the city of Spring Hill Fire Department to be first
on call to help with disasters just like this. TSC members are trained and
ready to be where they are needed at a moment’s notice. Contact Greg Cash
(TBC Disaster Relief) or Sonja Scales (Carpenters for Christ) to learn how you
can help.
