Missionaries' Message
Praise the Lord for His mercy endures forever, and for the abundance of His all sufficient grace. I am so blessed and humbled to be your servant. Each week brings me more ministry and mission opportunities as your servant while I continue to visit churches, meet with pastors, and plan our mission's partnership with each other. "Our Mission the Great Commission."
We have had great positive feedback from our prayerful probe survey responses; and we are now planning our "physical survey next." We need volunteers for May 2, to meet at The Baptist Center and volunteer time during 12:00-4:00 p.m. (light lunch will be provided). Let me know by April 29th if you can help. We need one more leader for the West Augusta District, please call me if you prayerfully would consider helping our Association.
Everyone I have spoken to about district grouping, except for one person, has been truly united for focusing mission efforts within the grouping of our four distinct districts: 1.) Inner City; 2.) Suburb/Country; 3.) West Augusta; 4.) Sousth Augusta. Addressing the mission ministry needs will be the focus of each district, and the targeting of mission ministry opportunities will be central to both the strategy plan and the action plan that will follow.
West Virginia Mission Trip Need: Cherry Grove Mission is in need of a baptistery. we are going to be on mission to them during June 15-21. Their need is for an offering of $2,500.00 and the deadline for any donations is May 13th. Please pray about giving to this need. Also, the Georgia Baptist Convention is willing to help if we give an offering to the mission in West Virginia. Everyone who plans on participating in the mission to West Virginia should meet at The Baptist Center on May 2, at 6:30 p.m. Deadline for commitment is April 15 and the $330.00 deposits is due by May 1.
