An Opportunity To Help Reach
Around The World!

     You should see our missionaries and their families!  Cute kids, smiling faces, dedicated warriors for Christ!  For example, go to bmamissions.org/missionaries,  then <Middle East> and <Jordan.>  There you’ll see the beautiful family of Sam Jordan and a list of prayer requests and praises from him.  Start your day with a quick search of more families just like the Jordans serving all around the world.
     On World Missions Sunday, we will make a special effort to emphasize the selfless work these missionaries and their families are doing.  As you browse through the bmamissions.org website, please honor their requests for prayer and rejoice with them at the many decisions made to surrender and follow Christ.  Help make Sunday February 23rd a special day of emphasis on BMA Missions in the following regions:  Europe, Middle East, Central America, South America, North America, Africa, and Asia-Pacific.
     Let’s give over and above our regular tithes & offerings and give to Missions.  God will honor your gift as we seek to win others to Christ.

Souls – We continually ask God to save souls from the eternal prison of hell.  In every group of this church we must seek out the lost.  We open our arms to new believers, new families to join us via church letter or statement of baptism.  We want to grow, “the fruit of the righteous is a tree of life and he that winneth souls is wise” Proverbs 11:30.

Bible Study is always a priority on Sunday and Wednesday.  Our 10:00 A.M. Sunday School classes need a boost as we redirect our focus on small cell groups to learn together God’s Word.  We wish for our 14 classes on Sundays and our 3 main groups on Wednesday night to see a number growth.  The Bible will enhance our lives and the fellowship will increase our joy.  If we do not grow here, we begin a slippery slope of decline.  1 Corinthians 4:2 “Moreover it is required in stewards that a person be found faithful…4:14 “I write not these things to shame you, but as beloved ones I will warn you.”  We ask all to be faithful to His House.  One thing continues to unravel our classes and worship is the lateness of so many.  We ask all to study this problem and correct it.  Be there on time!

Dear Pastor Adams:

On behalf of the Baptist Medical Missions International, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to you and First Baptist church for your generous contributions for carrying the message of hope through Jesus Christ around the world.   The Baptist Medical Missions International is commonly known as the BMMI.  Because of your contributions and prayers, the medical teams are able to share the love of Jesus Christ by providing medical care plus sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ with those attending the BMMI Clinics.  The BMMI depends entirely on contributions to fund all purchase of medicine and supplies for each mission trip.

BMMI teams are only deployed to mission fields by the invitation of the Missionary on the field.   This assures us that all those who come to the clinic and make a profession of faith will be followed up with our Missionary.

Again, Bro. Adams and the congregation of First Baptist Church, thank you for your prayers and financial support of the BMMI.

Your Brother in Christ,

Ralph Izard, M.D.     John Ladd, M.D.
Director of BMMI     Associate Director of BMMI
