Boston Mission Trip… We had a group of 14 people travel to Boston to work with Redemption Hill Church during Serve Medford Week. The group was a mixture of students and older adults working on mission together. Projects included cleaning out a store front, painting, hanging door fliers for the Community Fun Night, handing out granola bars at the subway stations, working at two senior centers, and showing the movie “Facing the Giants” to one of the Senior Centers. It was a busy, but very rewarding week as our lives intertwined with many in the Medford Community. This is the 5th year we have traveled to Boston to partner with Redemption Hill Church. Tanner Turley, the lead Pastor and former member of First Baptist Church, continues to lead the church and to share the gospel in the Medford area. This past year, Redemption Hill Church attendance has been averaging between 175-200 people. Due to their recent growth, the church has been in a capital campaign to relocate to a larger space for worship. On September 13th, they will begin worshipping in the Chevalier Theatre next to the Boys and Girls Club, which is where they are worshipping at the present time. We ask that you commit to pray for Redemption Hill Church as they embark on this journey and continue to pray for the work that is going on in Medford. We want to thank the church for giving us the opportunity to be on Mission in the Boston area. Northwest Trip…
We just returned from our trip out to the Northwest to visit Portland and Seattle. We had a wonderful time of fellowship and enjoyed seeing the beauty of the Oregon Coast and areas around Seattle. I want to thank Ruth Gillaspie and Susan Dant for all the work in planning the trip and for taking care of the details of the trip. State Park Trip…
Capital Campaign for Phase II… In the June Quarterly Business Meeting, the church approved entering into a Capital Campaign for the Phase II project. The church also approved to use Impact Stewardship Resources, Inc. to lead us through this very important phase of the project. A lead team has been secured and is beginning their work to lead us through this campaign. In next month’s Connect Magazine, we will be sharing more information about the campaign. Please be in prayer for our church and how God can bless us during this campaign. Stewardship… As we reflect on our upcoming Capital Campaign and planning our 2016 budget year, I want to share with you about the importance of Stewardship. I trust this will speak to you as you begin praying about what God has in store for First Baptist Church of Owensboro. Matthew 6:19-21 states “Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.” There are three principles from this passage I would like for you to consider. First, God owns everything. Do you believe this? He does own everything because He has given us so much so that we might fulfill His purpose here on earth. Secondly, good management of His resources shows our love for Him. Thirdly, how we use our time, talents, and money is reflective of our relationship with and obedience to God. Kennon Callahan in his book Giving and Stewardship in an Effective Church states, “Stewardship involves all of the gifts God gives: the gift of Life, gift of generosity, gift of mission, and the gift of hope.” Are you being a good steward? Faithful stewardship involves deliberately using all the resources entrusted to us by God. Sharing of our talents, money, and spiritual gifts will help fulfill His purposes for our lives. First Baptist Church would not be as strong of a church, striving to fulfill God’s purpose, without the faithful stewardship of its people. God is not finished with us, we must remain faithful stewards to fulfill His kingdom work. Stewardship is an important part of our spiritual pilgrimage. My prayer is that you will have a desire to continue to grow in your relationship with God and to continue to be a good steward of God’s abundant blessings.

I have seen our women be on their knees in prayer for this event and the women attending. I have seen this event come together even as the enemy attacked.

The Conference will allow women from different denominations,
backgrounds, and ages to come together to hear God’s Word. May our church be in prayer that this is a place and time where women can come together and be filled with the Holy Spirit. Pray that as we go through the weekend that women can truly surrender to God and His plan. Pray that when women leave they will be filled with His presence and share it with everyone they come in contact with. Pray that women see that each and every one of us deal with sin and life’s issues, but because of the precious blood of Jesus Christ we are set free and will one day come face to face with our Almighty God.

“For I was hungry and you gave Me something to eat…” Matthew 25:35 NASB Hunger is no respecter of geography or ethnic group. It can be felt in an apartment in Eastern Europe, a cardboard shack in Central America, a tent in the Sahara, or a house in Kentucky. Southern Baptist missionaries and volunteers are offering nourishment for the body and soul. And every Southern Baptist can have a part in those ministries through gifts to the Global Hunger Relief Fund. 85% of gifts are used to help alleviate hunger overseas and 15% is used here in the United States.
Small sacrifices and simple swaps can make a BIG difference! ⇒ A cup of fancy coffee can cost $11 a week, but home-brewed joe costs around a dollar. The difference? $10 ⇒ A meal out for a family of four can easily top $50, but a home-cooked meal for the same family can cost as little as $15. The difference? $35 ⇒ A night out at the movies for a family of four can easily top $75, but an evening at home with a DVD can cost well under $10. The difference? $65
