    International Missions

    • International Mission Board (IMB):

    • International Missionary Partner – Allie White in Kampala, Uganda:

    Allie White serves with the International Mission Board in Kampala, Uganda. Originally from Clinton, SC, and a member of First Baptist Church there, she was saved at the age of 12 and felt a call to global missions after growing in her understanding of God’s love for the nations. She graduated from Newberry College and worked at Brazos Pointe Fellowship in Southeast Texas before being sent out as a missionary in 2020. 

    Allie serves on the Kampala Urban Team, working alongside churches to engage vulnerable women with the Gospel. Her ministry includes evangelism and discipleship efforts in some of the city’s most highly populated red light districts, helping connect women to healthy local churches. She also works to open doors for other churches to engage and care for vulnerable women in similar contexts throughout Kampala.
