Is There Anything Too Hard For The Lord

Fourty-three years of God’s faithfulness were celebrated yesterday here at Faith Baptist Church.  A sweet spirit, beautiful music, and Christ honoring preaching were all apparent as the day progressed.  Four folks were saved and two families joined the church.  The time of fellowship and dinner at 5:30 combined to encourage and prepare hearts for the evening service.  Five of our ladies were honored in the service (two of them charter members) and several testimonies were shared before the video presentation documenting God’s faithfulness over these past 43 years.  May God continue to bless and allow us another 43 years to serve Him.

We are working and praying for our men’s retreat coming up November 6-7, 2009.  Pastor Kerry Nance will be our speaker and we are looking forward to a great time of fellowship and biblical teaching.  Pray for our men’s retreat.    –    Pastor

This Sunday we are praying for a Mountain Moving offering on our 43rd anniversary.  We are asking for God to supply $43,000 for a bill we need to get paid off.  That’s $1,000 per year of ministry.  We are praying for this to happen by October 31, 2009.  Will you be praying with us for this need that only God can meet.  “Expect great things from God. — Attempt great things for God.”  (William Carey)  God can move the mountain.     –   Pastor

Bro. Bill McCorkle has been a great blessing this week as he is preaching the evening services on Sunday - Wednesday.  Let’s have a vision for missions.     — Pastor

This Sunday kicks off our missions emphasis week.  We are planning and preparing for this exciting week.  Let us be faithful to the evening services next Monday and Tuesday at 7:00 p.m.  Missionary Bill McCorkle will be with us through Wednesday, then Steve and Rita Smith will be with us for school chapels on Thursday and Friday.  Pray for this great week.      –  Pastor

Several of our staff and a couple of our members showed up today to help with a church-wide work day.  Painting, cleaning, landscaping, and some minor remodeling were done as we invest our time to “spruce up” the facilities and make them look their very best.  Thank all of you who gave your time and energy.  — Pastor

What a great week.  Tuesday afternoon we had one saved that has been visiting the last couple of weeks.  Continue to pray for the winter campaign as we invest in the lives of people.

Another great day has been seen as God blessed.  We had two baptized and over 40 visitors.  Pray for the up coming God and Country Day this Sunday.  Also begin to mark your calendars for October 25 which will be our 43rd anniversary celebration.  Pray that God will continue to send revival “that they may know Christ.”     –  Pastor

Friend Day is upon us.  Truly we have seen God’s promise fulfilled, “Call unto me and I will answer thee and shew thee great and mighty things which thou knowest not. ” This morning we had 65 first time or returning visitors for our Friend Day.  We have prayed and labored for so long and now we have seen God work.  William Carey said it this way, “Expect great things from God.  Attempt great things for God.” One young man was saved in the main service and several others were saved in our junior churches and other ministries this week.  Pray with us for this evening’s service as we preach on the Labor of the Local Church and encourage our folks to prepare for Family Day next Sunday.

Today several meetings with the staff are taking place.  We continue to pray and labor to reach people during our winter campaign.  We are looking forward to this Sunday’s Services and are praying that we will have a great day.  We are also planning and praying for Bro. Rich Booher’s ordination to the Gospel ministry this Sunday night.  Let’s stay busy inviting folks to church and meeting their needs.    –   Pastor
