Shane Donald, GBA Moderator and Pastor of Cedar Shoals Church, called the meeting to order and recognized the new pastors and staff who have joined the GBA since our last Executive Committee Meeting.

Many of their residents served in the ministry and are still involved in many forms of ministry while at Martha Franks. For example, residents operate a Billy Graham Call Center. Pastors were encouraged to visit and bring others within the church to visit Martha Franks. Ken and Lynn fielded questions after the Executive Committee Meeting during the lunch provided by the South Carolina Baptist Ministries for the Aging. Al Phillips, GBA Director of Missions, promoted the Pastors’ Small Groups that are currently meeting. About 50 pastors have been participating in these small groups. The South Carolina Baptist Convention has paid for pastors to partake in the DiSC Assessment Personality Test. AL encouraged all pastors to take this assessment to better understand their work style and build stronger relationships with others. The Annual Association Emphasis Week is May 20-27. A promotional video is available on the GBA website (www.greenvillebaptist.org) or can be emailed to church staff directly. Brochures are also available from the GBA office for distribution within the local church. All offerings are applied to the GLOCAL Missions Fund of the GBA. Al will be leading the Mission Charlestown team to Charlestown, Massachusetts, June 7-11. The team will help J. D. Mangrum and his church plant, Christ Church Charlestown with the local Bunker Hill Day parade activities. Additionally, Al will also be leading a team to Southeast Asia August 9-16, 2018. The sale of Camp Marietta should be completely finalized by the July Executive Committee Meeting.

Because of this delay, the Bylaws Committee Report will be postponed until the July Executive Committee Meeting. Reaching the Unreached: Brian Owens, Executive Pastor of First Church Simpsonville, reported on behalf of the Finance Committee. He thanked all the churches for giving to the GBA. Brian turned the pastors’ attention to the handout in their packet to see the current balances and uses of funds and noted that Eastlan Church gave a $45,000 one-time gift. The GBA is doing well but is under-budget at this point in the year. Brian prayed for God’s provision for the remainder of the year.

Dan Messer, GBA Hispanic Ministries Leader, reported on GBA Hispanic Ministry activities. He noted that God is bringing more Hispanic workers to the Greenville area. The Institute at First Taylors started a new study course in music and 12 Hispanic students have joined. The Hispanic Fraternity held a joint service in June with 250-300 in attendance.

Jimmy thanked everyone involved in making the Upstate Sportsman’s Banquet a success! Revitalizing Churches: Al Phillips reported for the Revitalizing Team. The GBA is currently working with several churches using assessment tools to help them move towards revitalization. The GBA is willing to do the same assessment with any church and will offer to help develop a strategy for revitalization. Mike Runion, Pastor of City View First Church, gave a church revitalization testimony. In 2005, City View First Church experienced a dramatic explosion and fight. The church went from 400 in Sunday School to 78 people. Since then, God has worked to bring this church back to life. Mike discussed the many financial blessings the church has seen over his 11-year tenure. The church made a commitment to not cut their missions giving or their cooperative program giving. “We never ask too much out of our people, but we do sometimes ask too little,” Mike stated. Reproducing New Churches: Walt Tanner, Pastor of Capstone Church, gave the Reproducing Team Report. More people are coming to Greenville each day which means an influx of unchurched people as well. To keep up with the growth, ten church plants are needed a year in this area. The Reproducing Team is working with the GBA and the South Carolina Baptist Convention to assess priority locations for church plants in Greenville county. Walt encouraged pastors to continue to pray for our community, the church planting pastors here now, and future church planting pastors to reach this vastly growing population. GBA Church Planters reported on their churches:

• Walt Tanner reported for Mitch Williams, Pastor of The Fold Church. Mitch is our newest church planter in the GBA and is thankful to the GBA for all the resources that have been given upfront to help launch The Fold Church.

• Matt Wireman, Pastor of Christ the Redeemer Church, has planted a more liturgical church. He is excited about the various church styles that are being planted. Matt mentioned the need for many different types of churches to reach more people. He stated that we are stronger together and we need to partner with each other.

Reaching the Unreached The Finance Committee report was presented by Mike Kuckel, Pastor of David Street Church. The GBA budget is the fuel that allows us to create access to the gospel.

Director of Missions

Our business at GBA is access to the gospel and, in 2018, business was booming. We have had a great year of creating access to the gospel for all starting here in Greenville by Reaching the unreached, Revitalizing churches, and Reproducing new churches. We committed to using 2018 to help equip and strengthen our churches. We started 2018 with our first 3R Training Day with breakout sessions in Reaching, Revitalizing Churches, and Reproducing New Churches. We contracted with Dr. Terry Lanford to conduct workshops and produce resources for our churches in such practical areas as bylaws, policies and procedures, stewardship development, Sunday School leadership, and first impressions hospitality ministry. Those resources are on our website for our churches who did not take advantage of the workshops to download. We contracted with Christopher Jalbert to serve as a media consultant for our churches to make videos and do graphic design. While we will not have Dr. Lanford in 2019, we will have a media ministry consultant. We reorganized our pastor small groups and had 50 of our pastors involved in a small group for fellowship, spiritual accountability, and leadership development. We continued and extended our mentoring group for pastors using 3DM. I trained 9 pastor search committees and consulted with churches in transition or conflict. We continued to work with churches that need revitalization. I spend considerable time each week serving as a pastor to our pastors. I peached in 18 of our churches and am always available for supply or to share about our work. I worked with our Reaching and Revitalizing Teams throughout the year to develop our strategies in each of those areas. We planned and implemented Reaching events each quarter with the Upstate Sportsman’s Banquet, Deaf Day Camp, #PrayGreenville, and Blue in the Zoo. On October 25, we will host the Engage Evangelism Workshop with leaders like Lee Clamp of the SCBC and pastors like Jimmy Scroggins, Brandon Bowers and Clay Smith. All these events are coming again bigger and better in 2019. We will expand our partnership in Southeast Asia with new projects in 2019. Our missionary partner with the Unreached People Group we have adopted will be with us for our 2018 Annual Meeting. In the SCBC, 85% of the churches across the state are plateaued or declining. About 20 churches close each year and up to 200 are expected to close within 5 years. In GBA, 64% of our churches are plateaued or declining. We are doing better than the state average but we have a lot of work to do. Too many churches are at risk here. Our Revitalizing Team created a thorough church heath assessment tool and we stand ready now to assist churches in revisioning, restarting, or reinvesting to start new

- 24 -

churches in old facilities. We are partnering with SCBC to equip interim pastors who can assist churches between pastors in revitalization. In 2019, we want to work specifically with churches that are at risk. Our Reproducing Team has created guidelines for partnering churches and identified future strategic sites for new churches. We will have a Church Planter Vision Tour on October 4 to communicate our strategy and recruit future planters and partnering churches. In my first three years here as DOM, we have planted 6 churches here and 1 in New England and have 2 more churches coming online in the next year, including 2 Hispanic plants. We will identify a location and planter for our second church plant in New England in 2019. We welcomed the Greenville Community Church into GBA this past summer and are working right now with another church that is seeking partnership with us. This fall, I started a prayer group of other evangelical church pastors in downtown Greenville and we are meeting monthly to pray over the city. My vision is that this group will morph into a movement that will bring the gospel to bear on our rapidly growing and gentrifying city. I continue outreach to other evangelical churches that have the same kingdom vision we do. It has been a very fulfilling year as we have worked to create access to the gospel for all starting here. Greenville is one of the fastest growing counties in the state. Thousands of people are moving here. God has given us a golden opportunity to make an impact for eternity. Let’s work together to grab that opportunity for the glory of God. Till All May Know, Al Phillips Director of Missions #AccessGreenville

Missions Strategy Leader

25 years on GBA staff? My, how time flies when you’re having fun! Some reflections on 2018… REACH Reach the unreached. Greenville Baptist Association adopted an Unreached People Group (UPG) this year – Muslim peoples (including Rohingya and others) through our Southeast Asia partnership. We had one team there this year, working with friends who are actively connecting with the UPG. Helping create access to the gospel in one of the darkest corners of the globe is a huge opportunity and challenge. We will be back there in March and are looking to expand the partnership. Reach the nations among us. There are people from at least 88 nationalities, speaking 39 languages, living in Greenville County. We have people groups here from nations where we cannot send IMB personnel. Here! In our schools, neighborhoods, workplaces. This includes Rohingya refugees! The Great Commission commands us to go to the ends of the earth. The reality is that we don’t have to go very far to reach people from the ends of the earth. One of the unreached people groups in Greenville is our deaf population. This was the 42nd anniversary of the GBA-sponsored Day Camp for deaf children and children of deaf adults. There were 11 campers and 12 volunteers. Brushy Creek Church is such a gracious host. Rocky Creek Church, thanks for the use of the bus, too. Tonya Smith did a wonderful job in her first year of directing the camp. Day Camp returns June 10 – 14, 2019. Reaching the nations also includes our 17 Language Congregations. Many more are needed to reach the nations here. Reach the least of these. The Bible speaks of taking care of the poor, widow, orphan, foreigner, hungry, prisoner, etc… over 300 times. It’s important! Our churches are involved in a variety of individual and collective efforts. One way is through the Westside Crisis Center. The center is staffed by volunteers from our churches. Jim Barnette from Woodside Church continues to provide capable leadership at the Center. Food is provided by churches, groups, and individuals as well as purchased from various locations. The Westside Center also depends on funds from the World Hunger Offering. Additionally, our churches partner with many other helping agencies and organizations. Some churches sponsor their own community ministries. Thanks to all who make these servant-evangelism ministries possible. Mission Greenville started all the way back in 1999 with the first World Changers project. Through the years, we have helped teams reroof and renovate 214 houses in Greenville County. Beyond the houses themselves, we have been a clear gospel witness to families and neighborhoods. Our churches have faithfully served as

- 26 -

host churches and more. I am incredibly thankful to all those who were involved in this ministry. It’s a long story, but, due to a late developing situation with Rebuild Upstate, the project was cancelled this year. We have been evaluating the ministry over the last 2-3 years, and firmly believe that the time to move in a different direction has come. You will be hearing more about local mission opportunities in which our churches can be more directly involved soon. This year, 33 churches provided 1,752 Prisoner Packets for Christmas. Thanks to Pat Ward from Edwards Road Church and other volunteers for all your help. Prison ministry is not just about Christmas packets. There are other volunteers in our churches who are actively involved in ministry with inmates, families of inmates, and those who work within the correctional system. Multiple churches provided useful items such as paper goods, personal care items, health care items, school supplies and clothing for numerous agencies and organizations within the Greenville area. Nineteen churches provided 404 Ministry Kits. Not only were they used in Greenville County, but some even made their way to Haiti as well. Thanks to all who prayed, gave and worked on these projects. Another way we reach people is through Disaster Relief. Our unit continues to be a vital part of the DR ministry. They have been involved in a variety of mud-out efforts in the US this year. Jim Whitworth, from David Street Church, provides excellent leadership as our volunteer DR director. His report can be found in the Book of Reports. Reach law enforcement personnel. Blue in the Zoo celebrated its 4th year, and saw our largest attendance yet – 700+! This began as a way for us to express appreciation and support to law enforcement personnel and their families. How thankful we are for the many volunteers from 12 churches and Anderson University, as well as zoo staff. It makes a difference! Reach students. Baptist Collegiate Ministries is an important outreach and discipleship arm of our churches to college students. The BCM director for Furman is Andy Cooper. Todd Perkins works with the students at Greenville Tech. Their reports are listed in the Book of Reports. Reach the irreligious. One new piece we have added is a Block Party Trailer. While we have had the bouncy slide for a while, the trailer is now outfitted for more effective ministry. It is quickly becoming a popular addition. Do you know that we also have a Portable Baptistry for our churches to use? We may live in the Deep South, but our society continues to change at an amazing pace. I’ve said it before, but it bears repeating. The top 25 most unreached areas of the Upstate are all in Greenville County. The most unreached zip code in the state is 29601, at close to 90%. At least 70% of our entire population is unreached and 40% of our population is not only unreached, but uninterested. We must be about creating access to the gospel right here too! REPRODUCE Church Planting is a critical part of what we do to create access to the gospel within the changing populations of Greenville County. A church planting vision tour is taking place in early October. We are looking at, and praying over, the top priority locations in our area for new churches. There are currently 22 church plants in the GBA! Our 2 newest ones are The Fold Church with Mitch Williams as pastor, and Family Gate Church with Chris Bates as pastor. The Fold Church is just off Woodruff Road. Family Gate Church is part of The Churches @ West Gantt. They both are launching this Fall. Reconcile Community Church with Will Broadus as pastor, continues to create access to the gospel in the Welcome community, and had their first baptisms this year. Christ the Redeemer Church with Matt Wireman as pastor has seen a number of changes this year, most notably in location. Speaking of new locations… The Meeting Place Church with Fred Giles as pastor is now in the Nicholtown Community. And they have a new name Prevail Church. This is an exciting move for them. Greenville Church Without Walls with Alfred Johnson as pastor continues to strongly impact very under-resourced communities. Hispanic

- 27 -

Ministries are needed more than more with our rapidly growing Hispanic communities. Dan Messer provides excellent leadership to this ministry. With our increasing ethnicity, local church involvement lower than it was 25 years ago, and the increasingly irreligious neighbors around us, we must be planting new churches! Our New England partnership is in its 3rd year. We are partners with John David Mangrum and Christ Church Charlestown, which officially launched this year. They continue to find great favor with God in the community. As Christ Church gains momentum, we continue to pray for, work with, and provide funds to the church. A team was there in June to work with them for the big Bunker Hill parade. We are looking at another GBA team going next summer. Individual churches are also connecting with them, and other church planters in New England. Our commitment to New England Baptists is to help them plant 3 churches in 10 years. We are now working on church plant #2. A team was there in April (yes, it snowed). We met with the Baptist Convention of New England and North American Mission Board leaders looking at priority locations for our next church plant. Continue to pray for gospel access in one of the most spiritually dark parts of our nation, as well as our next steps there. REVITALIZE Not only must we start new churches, we must assist our existing churches. Southern Baptist churches are autonomous. That means, among other things, GBA has no authority over our churches. Therefore, churches must recognize the need for assistance and request it. We can provide valuable assistance for churches who are serious about being filled with new life among the harvest that God has in front of you. There is a demographic software called MissionInsite that can be a beneficial tool for our churches. And much more. For more information about revitalization, contact Al Phillips. To create access to the gospel, we must have healthy churches! I must mention Woman's Missionary Union. WMU continues to provide valuable training, encouragement and ministry opportunities for our churches. I don’t know what we would do without the faithful WMU in the Association and churches. Beth Allen, from First Simpsonville, serves as the director, and I am thankful for her leadership in this important role. Missions Strategy relates to New Work, Hispanic Outreach, Mission Partnerships, Community Ministries, Summer Ministries, Disaster Relief, Demographics, WMU, Baptist Collegiate Ministries, Multihousing Ministry and more. While it may sound like a broken record, I am truly thankful for the many people who volunteer in a myriad of ministries to help create access to the gospel starting here and going to the ends of the earth. It is also a privilege to serve alongside of Al, Dan, Anna, Melissa and Terry. Respectfully submitted, Joel E. Thrasher Missions Strategy Leader #AccessGreenville

Hispanic Ministries

Last year I asked that you pray with me that God would provide laborers for the Hispanic harvest which is ever growing in our area. God has been gracious in answering that prayer! Erwin Soto is currently in the assessment process for becoming a church planter. He is hoping to work in the Monaghan area. Edgar Enriquez and his wife, Yarece, are working on obtaining a R-1, religious work visa. They are both bilingual and have teaching contracts to teach English at a school in Mexico. They hope to move to Greenville and work with Rocky Creek Baptist Church at the end of the current school year. All the statistics for the Hispanic churches are up this year:

Total Members = 430 Average Worship Attendance = 344 Midweek Prayer and Bible Study = 122 Baptisms = 34

Several Hispanic pastors were involved in various mission trips in 2018. The mission trips included three in South Carolina, one in the United States, and four international trips. There remains so many areas in Greenville county that need a Hispanic mission/church. The holdup is the lack of laborers. Please continue to pray with me that God will raise up workers and send them into the harvest (Luke 10:2). Que Dios les bendiga, Dan Messer Hispanic Ministries Leader #AccessGreenville

Church Development Strategist

In an effort to strengthen the churches in our association, in 2018 the Greenville Baptist Association has presented training in three significant areas of need. These workshops addressed essential policies and procedures to protect the church, insights into stewardship development and budget planning and equipping for Sunday school and small group Bible teachers. One of the greatest blessings has been the opportunity to consult with several churches on a wide variety of topics and needs. From short phone conversations to long term involvement with church teams, being able to help and at the same time make many new friends has been wonderful.

In February, the GBA hosted a two-hour workshop called Protecting Your Ministry. This training focused essential policies and procedures that every church should consider in the face of ever-increasing challenges in today’s culture. Church leaders where encouraged to proactively seek to establish policies and procedures to protect church ministries and members from harm. Some of the topics that where addressed include: child protection, sexual harassment, social media, youth ministry communication, facility use, same sex marriage/Gender identity lawsuits and emergency response. Sample policies were provided that can serve as a guide for churches in tailoring their own policies.

Promoting stewardship and planning a budget can be challenging tasks for any church. In May, we presented Developing a Stewardship Strategy: Putting Your Money Where Your Mission Is. The training was designed to help Pastors, staff members, and church leaders develop an annual stewardship emphasis that can be used by the Lord to lead believers to respond to His agenda for financial stewardship. Training topics included prayer, discovering your theme, creating a stewardship task force, developing a calendar of milestones, and creating a culture of stewardship. Methods for communicating and casting vision through sermons, lesson , video spots, and testimonies were also addressed. Tips and practical ideas were offered for strategic budget planning that helps channel resources to support the mission and ministries of the church. On August 25th, the GBA presented a Sunday School/Small Group Leader Workshop. This training was designed to challenge and encourage volunteer Bible teachers and to provide helpful insights into spiritual and biblical preparation. Class organization, recruiting new teachers and the responsibilities of essential position of class involvement were also presented. Other topics included: how to study the Bible and prepare a lesson based on that study; how to effectively present that lesson to any size class

or group; how to use technology and other resources effectively; and how to deal with current cultural issues. Upcoming First Impressions workshop! Join us on Thursday, November 1st at Fountain Inn First Church from 6pm-8pm as we will discuss hospitality and strategies for making our churches more welcoming! We will learn to ask the right questions so that we might gain a view of our church from the perspective of a first-time visitors. What do they experience? Are we as friendly as we think we are? What about our facilities? Is our church clean? Are our signs clear? Do people feel comfortable with our security? Do we have the right people in the greeter ministry? We will offer insight into all this and more. Please join us.

Disaster Relief Brief History of the GBA’s SC Baptist Disaster Relief Unit: Severe flooding impacted residents of the downtown Greenville and Berea areas on July 29, 2004. After SC Baptist Flood Relief units responded to assist the homeowners affected, a generous portion of an estate gift to a Baptist church in the Berea area was designated for GBA Disaster Relief. That gift financed the establishment and equipment purchases for the GBA Flood Relief/Mud-Out Unit which was

ready in time to respond to victims of hurricane Katrina on the Mississippi Gulf Coast the next year, 2005. The GBA Disaster Relief Unit has responded every year since then throughout the eastern United States to aid victims of flooding due to hurricanes, flash floods and the like with the help of trained SC Baptist Disaster Relief volunteers from across the state.

Baptist Collegiate Ministries

Furman University

Greeting in the name of our Lord! I am happy to report that the new school year has started with a bang and holds a lot of promise for the future. Our first gathering was attended by over 30 students, and while regular attendance is not quite that high week-to-week, we have been averaging between 18 to 20 students per meeting. This is a small increase over last year where we averaged around 15 students per meeting.

I am also happy to report that the students themselves have taken the initiative to start some small groups for fellowship and support throughout the week. This is the first time in some years that the students themselves have taken the initiative to develop ministry opportunities outside of our regular Monday night meetings.

This past summer the FUBCM sent its first summer missionary to the field after many years of not doing so. Ms. Brittany Austin served in Horry County as part of the SCBCM summer missions. We certainly are proud of her for the work she did and for making our purple hearts proud.

We continue to make plans to have a good showing at the 2019 Converge conference. Last year we were able to send 10 students; our goal is to send at least 15 this year.

Thank you all for the prayers and support for the Baptist work at Furman University. We know that God is definitely at work among the students there and we are grateful to be able to work alongside Him in reaching our campus for Christ.

Respectfully submitted, N. Andrew (Andy) Cooper, Baptist Campus Minister Furman University

The BCM at Greenville Tech continues to face the unique challenge of recruiting brand new participants every semester. By that I mean that the carryover of students from the previous semester is extremely low. Often no returning students show up to a second semester. Most of them move on or function with a different schedule. That being said, we face this challenge head on and work to heavily recruit the first two weeks of classes.

Last semester Austin and I continued to work with 10-15 regular students over weekly lunch + Bible study. We covered the book of Galatians.

This semester I have 2 new volunteers joining our efforts - Ben Johnson and a Christian music recording artist who goes by Knowledge. We have just begun our weekly gatherings and so far have seen about 10 brand new students participate (everyone from last semester has moved on to other schools). There is still plenty of time for us to grow numerically. I'm confident that our study on the life and teaching of Jesus in Matthew will go well. I can continue to report that the gospel of Jesus Christ is being declared and received on the campus of Greenville Tech.

In Christ, Todd Perkins, Baptist Campus Minister Greenville Technical College

WOMAN’S MISSIONARY UNION

Auxiliary of Greenville Baptist Association The WMU of Greenville Baptist Association accomplished much during the 2017-2018 year! We welcomed Julia Shear from Standing Springs Church as our Children’s-GA consultant. In September, the WMU helped with Blue in the Zoo, and promoted our Season of Prayer for State Missions, Janie Chapman Offering. In October, several of our leadership team went to Fort Caldwell to the Carolina Women conference. Our mission study for 2017 was on Russia and was held at Edwards Road Church. Our World Day of Prayer was held on November 6 at various churches, and prisoner packets were collected on November 27-28. We collected 1,700 plus prisoner packets. Our Season of Prayer for International Missions, Lottie Moon Offering was held in December. In February, we held our WMU Focus Week brunch at First Church Simpsonville. Ashley Adams from Aiken, South Carolina spoke and did our music. WMU Focus Week followed the brunch. In March, we had our Season of Prayer for American Missions, Annie Armstrong Offering. Our WMU from many Churches also provided cakes and pies for the Upstate Sportsman’s Banquet. Several from our association attended the WMU state meeting in North Augusta on March 23-24. Our WMU Spring meeting was held in April at Reedy Fork Church. Jody and Tim Cross spoke. Donna Russell led us in music. The Week of Prayer for GBA missions was held in May. Accomplishments were many last year but done only to the glory of God! Beth Allen, Director Woman’s Missionary Union

Church Relations Committee Report

The Church Relations Committee would once again like to thank Rev. Al Phillips and the staff of Greenville Baptist Association for assisting the committee in its work during the 2017-18 church year.

Two items of business were presented to the Committee during the year. First, Eastlan Church merged with NewSpring Church and officially dissolved February 28, 2018. They became NewSpring Eastlan and are no longer part of GBA. We are thankful for the rich heritage Eastlan leaves behind. We are also grateful for the parting financial gift given when Eastlan dissolved its endowment. We pray God will use NewSpring Eastlan to create access to the gospel from that hill until Jesus returns.

The second item of business was Greenville Community Church requested that Greenville Baptist Association meet with them to consider their application to unite with the GBA as a member church fully participating in all its mission endeavors. After meeting with Michael Bayne, Pastor of Greenville Community Church, on several occasions and considering the church’s doctrinal beliefs, by-laws and mission statements, the committee presented the church to the Executive Committee of the GBA for membership at its July 26, 2018, Executive Committee Meeting. The Executive Committee approved the recommendation of the Church Relations Committee that Greenville Community Church become a fully participating member church of the GBA.

Submitted by, Rev. Mike Bearden Chairman, Church Relations Committee Retired Pastor

Personnel Committee

God’s timing is perfect! Always. We have all heard this phrase and how true it is. At the Greenville Baptist Association, such is the case.

Your Personnel Committee wants to remind you that in our Heavenly Father’s providence, He has brought together the right personnel at the right time and placed them together to serve Him and our churches.

Under the leadership of the Holy Spirit, Al, Joel, Dan, Anna, and Melissa have come together “for such a time as this” and are making a difference in our Greenville community. This past year, we contracted with Dr. Terry Lanford to provide training and resources in stewardship development, Sunday School leadership, bylaws and policy development, and hospitality ministry. He has been working as a consultant for various churches in the GBA throughout the year. He will not be continuing for 2019. In the coming year, we will provide a contract worker to assist GBA and our churches with media ministry, instead.

I have witnessed firsthand, whether in a staff meeting or personnel evaluation meetings, how they work together and share in having a servant’s heart. Let us take care of our people who are seeking to take care of God’s people.

Thank you, Al Phillips and GBA staff. Keep up the great work!
