Rev. Dr Femi Adewumi
Director, Global Missions Board (NBC)
Welcome
For more than 70 years, Global Missions Board (GMB) has been saddled with the responsibilities of mobilizing, engaging and deploying Missionaries, to various mission fields at home and abroad where there are the unreached, unengaged and less-reached People Groups for the singular purpose of reaching them with the true Gospel of Christ. Global Missions Board is committed to working with the Nigerian Baptist Churches and other Great Commission lovers to achieve this singular purpose through the enabling grace of Christ by the power of the Holy Spirit. Fellow partners with God of Missions through Global Missions Board of our great Nigerian Baptist Convention. We thank God for your unalloyed sacrifices and your undiluted passion to ensure that everyone have the opportunity of responding to the love of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. This we must continue to do together until all heard about Him.

From The Beginning...
In 1850, Brother Bowen headed for Central Africa on a Missionary adventure; specifically to the town of Igboho. This is the faithful and humble beginning which has undoubtedly given rise to great achievements in what is today called, The Nigerian Baptist Convention; with over 10, 000 Churches, 437 Associations, 32 Conferences and about 6 million Nigerian Baptists. In the same vein, the obedient decision of the messengers at the fortieth session of the Nigerian Baptist Convention at Jos in 1953 resulted in what up till April 1998 was known as Home and Foreign Mission Department of the Nigerian Baptist Convention.
At the 85th Annual Session of the Nigerian Baptist Convention in the same Jos, in 1998, a decision was taken; to grant the Home and Foreign Missions Board autonomy and to give it a new name: Global Missions Board, the Mission agency of the Nigerian Baptist Convention. This decision has enabled and has resulted in the present growth of the Nigerian Baptist Convention mission work with 25 Home Mission fields and 13 International Mission fields, in Africa and beyond. There are about 35 frontier Missionary couples fully engaged and faithfully serving God to reach many for Him.
