citing Missional Church Learning
Exciting
Events (MCLE) are Coming in May!
MCLE is transforming hearts and lives. The following are quotes from participants in the
Missional Church Learning Experience:
“MCLE is the best thing our church has done in years. It changed our thinking about reaching outside
our church.” - Gary Britton, pastor at Judson BC. The church is serving over 100 meals to the larger
community on Wednesday nights.
“MCLE changed my thinking about the church. I realized I was trained for another time.” Jeff Sexton, pastor at Calvary BC in Kokomo.

As a result of MCLE, the Baptist Student Foundation at Purdue began a new service to the larger
community called Springification which helps local residents get their homes ready for the spring
season. The Found partnered with other university organizations and recruited volunteers to work
together on these projects.

Learning Experience (MCLE).
Missional church is a growing
movement throughout America in
response to this time of change. A
missional church is “an authentic
community of faith that primarily directs
its ministry focus outward toward the
context in which it is located and to the
broader world beyond.” Churches

Twenty-five Easter flowers adorned the sanctuary in honor of or in

Columbus FBC Holds Sunday
Evening W
orship - Revision
Worship
Service
On the second Sunday of each month,
Columbus FBC has a Sunday evening
worship called Revision Service. It is an intergenerational service planned by Pastor Dave
Doles with the youth and young adults
assisting. The Revision service grew out of a
need for a second, different type of worship
service and the youth trip to to Quest at Green
Lake last summer. It is usually well attended.
After the service, small groups for children,
youth, and adults meet to reflect about the
service and share their own personal
experiences. It is an upbeat service with lots of
music and an emphasis on an “R” word. The
next service will be held on April 14 and the
word will be “Restore.”
In March, the service was called “Restore and S’mores.” The service
featured Jordan Morris, camp manager at Indian Creek Baptist Camp, and a
special concert with Jon Makiah Thompson. Jordan told stories of restoration
and renewal at camp. He encouraged the
church adults, children, and youth to
participate in the upcoming mini-mission
trip to work at the camp one weekend in
April. Jon Makiah Thompson was
diagnosed with autism as a baby. He did
not speak for many years. His father
bought a key board with thoughts of
learning to play, but soon decided this
was not for him. Jon Makiah was
interested in the key board and suddenly
was playing and found his voice through
music. This is a tremendous story of
restoration and what God can do in one
life. Jon performs concerts and his
parents tell his story and share how God
has blessed Jon Makiah with this gift of
song.

Southern Indiana
Darrell James, senior pastor of
Culbertson BC, took the initiative and
the pilot program for CLI at his church
in New Albany launched this spring
on April 13th. Currently, there is a
group of senior pastors in the
Southeast Area near Madison, IN
who are coordinating with Region
Staff to start another pilot program of
CLI in Switzerland County. Each of
those pastors are alumni of the CLI
program and know first hand how the
CLI experience can impact a life and
ministry. They want to make that
experience more accessible for the
leaders in their churches and
associations. It is their hope to launch
the first class in the series this fall. The
response to the first two courses at
each new site will determine whether
CLI continues at the Southern
Indiana Satellite locations.
The Church Leadership Institute
(CLI) is a region ministry dedicated
to equipping men and women for
leadership positions in their
churches. Classes are taught by
individuals with the academic
credentials and ministry experience
to make their classes highly
informative and practical. It is
foundational training that every
bi-vocational pastor, deacon and
church leader should have. For

They spent one
night of their trip
at Simpson
Creek Baptist
Church in Bridgeport, WV, where they were met by the youth pastor, Rick
Garavaglia, who provided pizza at midnight and breakfast in the morning.
While in Osbornville, they attended worship with the folks at Osbornville
BC. Some of the work the team did included clearing about 300 yards of
beach front, helping a lady repair the inside of her home, assisting a lady
with moving furniture, rebuilding a fence and cleaning up of debris. Both the
team and those in the
Osbornville BC congregations benefited greatly from
the time spent together. In a
blog, Pastor Dave Doles
commented: “We ‘pitched our

did the kingdom work of
Christ with them. Many were
Christians, but a few were
not. We will not soon forget
our many new friends on and

The ABWM of Indiana sent their

Way-Women’s Shelter in Lorca,
Spain. They collected $27,535.47 to
help the women in Lorca build a house
to replace the one destroyed by the
May 2011 earthquakes. We praise the
Lord for each of the 5,448 miles that
our family traveled throughout our
precious Hoosierland with Cori
Catellier to bring the concern and need
for this Women’s Shelter to the places we
were able to reach. The new house will
have space for 16 women. They had been
serving six women at the time of the
project and are currently serving eight,
which means that two are sleeping in the
living room. Hence, the urgent need they
have for space for more who continue to
seek their support. Thank you, ABWM of

chains and stop the pain of these women
who so desperately needed this new

On Sunday afternoon, June 2, Big

an exciting community-wide event at
the Reelsville firehouse. The event
has 3 phases, each of which should
be of interest to ABC of IN/KY.
First, the firehouse will be serving a
FREE chicken noodle lunch along
with salads and desserts, from noon 2:00 pm. Everyone is welcome and
free will donations will be accepted.
Luke and Tim Gillespie (Tim is
pastor at Big Walnut) will put on a
table tennis demonstration from 23:30pm. The Gillespie brothers spent
many years as members of the
USTTA and helped promote table
tennis in numerous ABC churches.
Some years ago, they helped
popularize the sport in the Bedford
area, often attracting over 100
participants from the community and
area churches. The Gillespies have
always believed it was ideal for
church recreation as it is inexpensive
and takes up very little space.
“We hope youth groups will attend
the demo and be inspired to start
says Pastor Tim. “And it’s a great way
to interact with other churches.”
Then, from 4-5pm, Luke Gillespie
will again be featured at Big Walnut
BC. This time as a solo pianist. Luke
