Dear Co-laborers in Christ:
When was the last time you went to an old fashioned river baptism? This past month, Notchaway, the oldest church in the Association, held a baptism at the Flint River in Baker County. Two brothers, one 83 and the other 89 were baptized along with one of their nephews. I expected the pastor, Bro. Hal Crosson, to walk on water. Not only is Notchaway the oldest but one of our smaller churches. They had received an award from the GBC for having the most baptisms per resident member in 2008 and have now baptized 3 for 2009. God is still on the throne. It is not about the location or size of your church that determines the blessings of the Lord, but it is all about preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and seeking to win souls. Instead of looking for a new way of doing this, let’s just get out and do it.
God continues to bless our four missions and they have been real active recently as the migrants have been in the area. We had the Dental Trailer in from the GBC for the Migrant Fair in June. What a great ministry this is through our Convention. I appreciate all the churches that had a part in the Migrant Fair.
For several months I have mentioned that I have a week’s presentation on the Baptist Faith and Message. I also now have a presentation on Why we have the new Baptist Faith and Message of 2000. It is about 45 minutes to an hour in length. Many have raised questions about why the change. If you would like for me to present this in your church please call the office.
Brenda and I really enjoy visiting the churches in our Association and appreciate the warm welcome we always receive. Also, I appreciate the churches we have been able to preach in this last month. Pray for us as we continue to serve you all.
Your servants in the Lord,
Ken and Brenda
