KeyNotes

It has been an exciting Summer 2019 with Vacation Bible Schools, Backyard Kid’s Clubs, mission trips, youth camps, children camps and so much more. I have enjoyed visiting as many as I was able when in town.

 

As Fall approaches, I pray that you will make every moment count at home, in your community, church and beyond to the ends of the earth as you are on mission!

 

Speaking of being on mission - “Who’s Your One?” This Campaign is in process at some of our churches in the NDRBA. I want to remind you: this is not a one-time, specific-date campaign. I pray it is a continual priority in each church and individual to identify, pray and share Christ with One on a regular basis. Be the one on mission to share with your one regularly!

 

Disaster Relief Training is in the fall swing. I am available to train in the areas of: Introduction to DR; Chainsaw; Spiritual Care/Evangelism; Flood Recovery; Ash-Out and Disaster Assessments. Charlotte Brandhorst is available to train Shower & Laundry interests. If you or your church, no matter the size or number, wishes to be certified in DR, I can do it. Just give me a call. I’ll train you to be prepared to be on mission when needed.

 

Look at the calendar of events coming up. Be a part of Making Disciples, that is - reproducing disciples of Christ, finding their ONE and sharing to reproduce even more! “Go! Make Disciples!” (Jesus).

 

In Him,

Mark Your Calendar NOW for October 21, 2019 is the 74^th Annual Meeting at the First Baptist Church of Shelbyville. Steve Pearson is the Keynote Speaker (TBMB Evangelism Department). The first session (5:45pm) is filled with guests and reports from the TBMB entities and friends. Fellowship Meal is at 6:30pm. The Business and worship begins at the second session, 7:00pm. We want all to attend so try to avoid Revivals and other conflicts if at all possible. This is a great meeting of reports of the previous year and plans for the next! And mark October 26, 2020 as we look forward to celebrating our 75^th Anniversary as an Association!

Who’s Your One? Imagine if every believer could answer that question with the name of a person who is far from God- a person for whom they’re praying and with whom seeking to share the life-changing Gospel. That’s the intention behind Who’s You One. Make a significant impact for God’s Kingdom. Identify, pray and share with your one!
