Madison Baptist Association “Assisting churches in fulfilling their mission, and providing them opportunities for fellowship and to work together in advancing the kingdom of God” This past Sunday I had the privilege to preach at Missionary Grove Baptist Church in Cullman County and share about the Send North American emphasis and the Annie Armstrong Missions Offering. It never ceases to amaze me that almost 45,000 SBC Churches can partner together by praying, giving, and going to advance the work of missions and evangelism! Missionary Grove is a small, rural church that is excited and involved in missions. They have already exceeded their missions offering goal of $1,125! I am thankful to be a part of the Madison Baptist Association and all the churches that are involved in missions! As your associational missionary, it is exciting to see our churches partner together in missions by praying, going, and giving! Three mission opportunities are available in the next few months that you and your church might want to be check out. ESL Training is at the MBA office on May 7-9th, 2015. In Madison County there are many people that need and want to learn English. This training helps volunteers to be equipped and also to be certified to teach English and share the Gospel as our churches offer ESL to the community. Cost is only $25 for this 3-day training. Please call the MBA office to register. Rocket City Missions is June 2126, 2015. This mission project is open to all youth groups and their leaders. It involves working on homes during the days and worship each evening. Check out www.rocketcitymissions.org or give Ron a call at the MBA. There are a couple of options cost wise for groups to be involved. Romania Mission Trip will be September 3-14, 2015. If you are interested in being a part of this mission team, it is not too late to sign up! We need churches to partner with a church in the Sibiu Baptist Association. There are many needs and opportunities for churches to partner! The cost of the September trip is $2,400. If you have any questions, please give Ron or Barbara a call. We will be glad to meet with you or your church! Thanks to all the children, parents, and leaders that were a part of the Association Bible Drill last week!
