I look forward to hearing Bill Johnson, Missionary and

Pastor of Reach the Nations Church, Clarkston, Ga., this Sunday.


Bill will be with us on Saturday for Cross Cultural Training and
then will challenge us in both services on Sunday Morning. Many
have indicated an interest in doing missions and Pastor Bill will give
us insight on how we can best be used of the Lord. I encourage you
to attend the Cross Cultural training and, of course, be in worship on
Sunday.
The most wonderful aspect of the Cross Cultural Training
and the working with Refugees is that we will be able to easily
translate that work here. What we learn can be used to reach this
community for Jesus. That is exciting! So, whether you are
interested in Refugee ministries or not, you can benefit from
attending the Cross Cultural training at 2 pm Saturday in the
Fellowship Hall.
I heard Evangelist R.V. Brown speak at the Bainbridge
High School Football banquet recently. Brother Brown did a
powerful job of proclaiming the Gospel and challenging all those
present. One of his points was that we cannot all be A students
but we can be C students. C what God can do with you if you
surrender to Him. C what you can accomplish with a little
determination and a lot of hard work. C the great things God has
in store for you when you come to Him. He challenged us to be the
best we can but know that even if we are C students God can still
use us.
I cant wait to C what God is going to do at First Baptist
this Sunday. I look forward to seeing you then.
Paul

Clarkston Mission Trip


We are planning a trip to Clarkston, GA on January 30-February 1, to
assist refugees with their income tax returns. Online training through
the IRS VITA program is now available! Although some familiarity
with taxes is helpful, it is not a requirement. We already have 5
individuals interested, but there is more room for you! Total cost for
participation has yet to be finalized, however, you will be responsible
for your meals and some accommodation fees. Do NOT let cost be a
factor. If you feel led to go, you will be included. Please pray and let
me know by FRIDAY, JANUARY 23 if this may be an area where
you are able to serve.

Cross Cultural Training


Saturday, January 24 2-4 pm Fellowship Hall

Strength to Stand
37 Adults and students spent the past weekend in Pigeon Forge, TN
at the Strength to Stand student conference. This was a tremendous
weekend for our students to be away from the routine and focus
together on the Word of God. Thank you so much to every adult
that helped with this weekend and Billy Poppell and Dwayne Kelly
for chauffeuring us around!!
Super SNAC
Sunday night February 1st will be our monthly SNAC. This will be
a great night. We will meet together starting at 5:00 at Gene and
Claire Dunlaps home to have a time of fellowship, Bible Study,
food, and football. This event will be our kickoff event for the
spring semester Sunday night programming.
Disciple Now Weekend
Disciple Now weekend is just around the corner. The dates are
February 13-15. If you are available to help in any way during this
weekend please let myself or a member of the youth committee
know as soon as possible. We need families to open their homes to
small groups, drivers, meals, and we need folks to pray. This is
going to be a great weekend and I can not wait to see what God is
going to do in the lives of the students in this county during this
weekend.
Blessings,
Jeff
