Serving, Encouraging and Supporting Christ’s Churches

TIDINGS
A note to you:
Dr. Scott Pittman, Director of Partnership Missions of the KBC, told Bro. John Ryder-Director of Missions
us during the September Semi-Annual Meeting that a church should have a Angel Kane, Secretary
strong missionary outreach. It should have a global concern. As followers of Floyd & Gale Holbrook-Camp Manager
Christ, we are to spread the glorious news of redemption to men and women Office (859) 744-0037
everywhere. In fact, the very last words of Jesus before His ascension were Fax (859) 744-1069
these: Acts 1:8 ―But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come E-mail: boonescreekbapti@bellsouth.net
upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and

Samaria, and to the end of the earth."
A church should be missionary-minded. If a church is self centered Printed Oct. 2010, Volume 43, issue 10
and it spends all its time and effort on its own interests-it will fail in reaching

the world with the Gospel. The North American Mission Board says a good
church is missional. What is a missional church? Best Wishes to these November Birthdays:
Dr. Ed Stetzer, research team director and missiologist at the North
American Mission Board said the following: ―What is a missional church? 6-Kevin Strausbaugh-Pastor-Macedonia
Missional is not the same as ―missions-minded,‖ though they are both 11-Loretta Powell-Pastor’s Wife-Valley View
important and related. A missions-minded church is one that cares about 16-Cindy Perry-Pastor’s Wife-Boones Creek
missions around the world. It gives to missions, it goes to mission contexts, 17-Nevedda Canter-Pastor’s Wife-Heidelberg
it’s involved in cross-cultural missions. Missional leaders, however, know the 19-Rebecca Blevins-Pastor’s Wife-Faith
mission field is here—now. They realize they need not only to support 20-Jim Rediford-Pastor-Corinth
missions, they need to be missionaries where they are. In its simplest form,
the term missional is the noun ―missionary‖ adapted into an adjective. For
25-Sharon Kline-Pastor’s Wife-Northside
example, an ―adversary‖ is your enemy. So, someone who is ―adversarial‖ 28-Susanna LaBona-Pastor’s Wife-Providence CC
acts like your enemy. A church or a follower of Christ who is viewed as 29-Gerald Peeples-Heritage
missional acts like a missionary. They do the things that missionaries do, 29-Jan Milheiser-Pastor’s Wife-Howards Mill
regardless of the context. They can be parachute-dropped into a village in
India, or into the hustle of any North American city and be missional. They Best Wishes to these November Anniversaries:
study and learn a culture, live and proclaim the good news and contextualize
it for that culture. Missional churches take Acts 1:8 literally and act like 8-Delmar & Catherine McGee-Greenbriar
missionaries—sharing the gospel in word and deed—in their own Jerusalem
(city or area), Judea (state or region), Samaria (North America) and to the
21-Jeff & Melissa Ryder-New Hope
ends of the earth.‖ 21-Phil & Shirlene Ronk-Panola
To develop a missional culture in your church, mission education is 24-Harold & Burnadean Calmes-Retired
very important. Missions education is a vital part of every Southern Baptist 25-Douglas & Nevedda Canter-Heidelberg
church. Through missions education children, youth and adults are made 26-Ron & Karen Montgomery-Emmanuel
aware of Southern Baptist mission efforts around the world and how they can 28-Joe & Noreen Lahrmer-Cow Creek
become personally involved in sharing the Good News of Jesus. Future
missionaries will come from within churches that provide hands-on mission
opportunities and emphasizes praying for and giving to missions. Creating November Calendar
missions awareness and a missions environment will encourage churches to

SAVE ME
Save me from myself, Lord;
Save me from my need
To always run my life, Lord
To control my every deed
Save me from my pride, Lord,
My focus on just me;
Help me learn to serve, Lord;
Show me how to be.
Save me from the world, Lord,
When tempting things entice;
Remind me of eternity
With You, in paradise.
I give my life to you, Lord
My every need you fill;
I’m resting in my faith, Lord;
You saved me, and you always
Disaster Emergency Relief Volunteer’s will.
Needed
The disaster emergency relief
committee has sent out a
volunteer registration form to the pastors. The
vision for the
committee is: An Association church has a
problem that it needs help with, i.e. electrical,
plumbing, etc. It needs help because it doesn’t
have funds or manpower to deal with the
problem. This committee will utilize available
resources (manpower) to correct the problem.
If you would like to volunteer to help out,
please contact your pastor or the
association office for a volunteer sign up form.
