JIM’S COMMENTS
October is here again. Praise the Lord for the beautiful Fall colors
which makes the hills and valleys so beautiful. I’m planning to get
out and drive around on some of our roads that I don’t normally
travel so I can see more of the beautiful Fall colors. “He (God) hath
made everything beautiful in His time” (Eccl.3:11).
Pastor Appreciation Day is usually held in October but you can
show appreciation to your Pastor anytime. I appreciate the ministry
of our Pastors with our Church families. I am thankful for our Lord’s
Ministry through our Churches. Churches, pray about and watch for
Ministry opportunities. World Hunger offerings are usually received
in October (but can received at other times), and our convention
makes sure that every penny of this offering goes to feed the hun-
gry. Churches can help Greg and Alice Whitetree at the Freeda Har-
ris Baptist Center with their big Christmas Toy project. We have
Churches with their own toy and food give-away, also. The 2010
World Equestrian Games which will take place in KY next fall will
provide many opportunities to minister. Our Sunrise Children’s Ser-
vice provides opportunities to minister. On and On I could go, but
Watch, Listen, Pray, and Go!
Churches, our Children, Youth and High School Bible Drill materials
are ready for you as well as Speaker Tournament Materials. Chil-
dren’s materials are the Blue Cycle. Call the office for materials. I
wish every Church could work with children and Youth in Drills, and
that we would have youth to do the Speakers Tournament, also.
Our Kentucky Baptist Convention’s 172nd annual meeting is to be
held at Severns Valley Baptist Church, Elizabethtown on Nov. 10.
“Find it Here” is to be the focus of the annual meeting. Churches,
how are you coming along in your preparations of Prayer Walking/
Prayer Driving, etc. for “Find it Here”? Let’s get ready!
Prayerfully
Jim Smith

Sharing Christ Across Kentucky

Churches, how are you coming along in your preparation for “Find it Here” which is a wonderful
evangelism campaign to deliver the Gospel to 1.5 million households across Kentucky during March
6-21, 2010. How wonderful to invite 1.5 million households to attend our Churches on Easter Sun-
day next year! Churches, are you PrayerWalking/Prayer Driving your Church field in preparation for
this special evangelist event? Also, be in prayer daily for this sharing of the Gospel. The Salvation
brochures and bags should come to the Associational office around the middle of January. I’m
thankful that 34 of our 37 churches are participating.
