Operation Inasmuch

Operation Inasmuch is a worldwide ministry that comes alongside churches and pastors to equip and motivate them to obey the biblical mandate to minister to the “least of these.” Using the Inasmuch model of compassion ministry, we empower believers to live out their calling to serve others and experience the joy that comes from serving. We encourage pastors who want to see their church connected in their community but don’t have the time or training to do it on their own. We show believers how they can create opportunities to share the gospel by doing the gospel.

Operation Inasmuch is focused on the entire body of Christ and provides tremendous opportunities for people to serve for the first time, families to serve together, and even congregations from multiple denominations to come together to be the hands and feet of Jesus and become the Body of Christ.

In October, 2013, 13 churches in our Association participated in Operation Inasmuch in a joint project with the Pittsylvania Baptist Association. We continued the mission in 2014, 2017, and 2019. Ou.r churches took a breather from this program through the heart of the COVID years and resumed participating in 2024, and has plans to participate again on Saturday October 11, 2025, with some of our churches picking other days for various reasons.

Operation Inasmuch is a one day mission event to provide opportunities for every member of our churches to become a missionary in our local community. It is for all ages and skill levels. Some of the ministries shared were at laundromats, gas stations, minor home repairs, thank you baskets for law enforcement and EMS, and toiletries for nursing home residents.
