The Missions Conference is an effort by our Missions Committee to educate our church to the missions FBC is involved in directly and indirectly through the Southern Baptist mission agencies— International Mission Board (IMB) and North American Mission Board (NAMB). Its short term goal is to introduce our members to missionaries we help support through the Cooperative Program, Annie Armstrong Easter Offering, and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering, and give members an opportunity to build relationships with these missionaries. The Missions Committee prays this will lead to God burdening our member’s hearts to go and be involved in missions with these or other missionaries. The Committee prays that God will use it to open doors for future church-wide missions opportunities. Long-term, the Missions Committee’s prayer is that it will expose our young people to missionaries and missions, and that God would call missionaries out of our church. The Missions Committee is asking Sunday School classes to adopt and host a missionary. The class will be responsible for making sure the missionary has transportation to all events, is housed in a member’s home, and is taken care of in general. If your class would minister in this way please let Bro. B.J. know. The Missions Conference begins Friday night, May 16 at 7 in the FMC. The missionaries will have booths set up along the walls. Finger foods will be served. At 7:30 one of the missionaries will address everyone present for about 20 minutes with a second missionary following at 8:00. Before these missionaries speak we encourage everyone to mill around and talk with the missionaries, ask questions, get to know them, let them tell you their story. Friday evening will conclude at 9:00. This same type format will be followed Saturday afternoon starting at 3. Two different missionaries will speak, one at 3:30 and one at 4:00. The afternoon session will conclude at 5:00. During the evening we are asking Sunday School classes that are hosting missionaries to have a class fellowship in order to spend more time with your missionary. Missionaries will be available at their booths on Sunday morning during breakfast and some will be available during Sunday School to speak with your class. D. Ray Davis, one of the Vice Presidents of the IMB will be speaking at both morning services. One of the other missionaries will share with us Sunday evening. Make plans now to be here for every moment of the weekend. Take this time to get to know your missionaries. Most of all listen to the Lord as He speaks to your heart about your involvement in missions.
