Well Done Church!

JT — Wed, 21 May 2008 01:47:48 +0000

I have to say that although I knew our congregation was a giving and mission minded people, I had no idea how true this was. I rec’d a letter today from Jerry Rankin, the president of the International Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention, and in this letter he stated that this past year’s Lottie Moon Christmas offering was going to be the largest in history.

This news alone was exciting, but what I was not expecting was this next statement:

“It (the Lottie Moon Offering) is projected to surpass the 2006 record of $150,178,098.06. This was the result of extraordinary giving by your church. The members of your congregation led the entire East Bay Baptist Association in both total dollars and per capita dollars given to the annual mission offering.”

Praise God for faithful givers. I am very proud of FBC Newark and their giving hearts. Most importantly, you are not just people who give of your finances, you give of your talents, time and of your lives to all those in your path in need. It is an honor and privilege to be your pastor and I am excited about God’s future for our thriving family in the Grace of God!

Together we can Glorify God in all things. Continue to “run the race” and “fight to rest”!

For the Glory of God,

Pastor James

We are finally finished with the “Healthy Church” series and are now continuing in Chapter 8 of Hebrews. My goal is to finalize the chapter in two weeks, so read chapters 1 through 8 for this week to be prepared.

Continue to pray for all that God is doing in us and that we will be sensitive to His leading as we embark on a new beginning!
