WMU - Rita Bilbo A lump in my throat and a tear in my eye. That is what I get every time I place my right hand over my heart to do the Pledge of Allegiance to the American flag. So many have fought and many have died so we can have a freedom that gives us liberties to worship our God and King. America was founded for religious freedom. Let us never forget. Today we fight for that freedom. America is forgetting. Let us not back down to this attack. We must put on the full armor of God to fight (Ephesians 6:11-18). Don’t back up or back down, but step up and step out for our freedom to worship our coming Lord and King. GOD BLES AMERICA! LET FREEDOM FOREVER RING IN AMERICA! Happy 4th of July.

"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, 2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. 3 Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart."

From Carl’s Desk, PRAYERS CAN NOT BE ANSWERED UNLESS THEY ARE PRAYED Life without purpose is barren indeed There can not be a harvest unless you plant a seed There can not be attainment unless there is a goal, A man’s but a robot unless there is a soul.
If we send not ships out, no ships will come in, And unless there is a contest, nobody can win. For games can not be won unless they are played And prayers can not be answered unless they are prayed
So whatever is wrong with your life today, You will find a solution, if you kneel down and pray Not just for pleasure, enjoyment, and health, Not just for honors and prestige and wealth.
But pray for a purpose to make life worth living. And pray for the joy of unselfish giving, For great is your gladness and rich your reward, When you make your life’s purpose the choice of the Lord. Helen Steiner Rice ******* Lament of a Lost Friend My friend, I stand in Judgment now-- and feel that your are to blame somehow On earth I knew you day by day, But you refused to point the way. You taught me many things, that is true; I called you friend and trusted you; But I learn now that it is too late—You could have kept me from this fate. You knew the Lord in all his glory, but you did not tell me the story And now on coming to the end, I can no longer call you friend. Author unknown Who is your friend that needs the Lord for Salvation? Romans 10:9-10, 13 John 5: 24 John 3:16-17 Serving together, Carl

From Carl’s Desk March 1-8, 2020 is the Week of Prayer for North American Missions. This week is also the beginning of the 2020 Annie Armstrong Easter Offering for North American Missions. The offering goal this year is $70 Million Dollars. One hundred percent of the gifts given to the Annie Armstrong Easter offering are used to support Southern Baptist Missionaries serving in the USA, US Territories, and Canada. The theme this year is: It’s All About the Gospel with 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 as focal scripture: “For I passed on to you as most important what I also received: That Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried, That He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures…” 1 Corinthians 15:3-4, CSB North American Mission Board (NAMB) Missionaries are involved in planting churches dedicated to ensuring that those who hear the good news of Jesus Christ are firmly planted in the gospel and are bearing fruit. Our NAMB Missionaries cannot do it alone. They need our prayers, support, and commitment.
The Week of Prayer emphasis for 2020 presents six missionary couples to represent the work of more than 5,000 North American missionaries: Dave & Mary Elliff Church Planters- Seattle, Washington J.D. & Andreina Fasolino Church Planters- Toronto, Ontario Kirk & Karen Kirkland Church Planters- Cincinnati, Ohio Jonathan & Yesenia Santiago Church Planters- Guaynabo, Puerto Rico Rob & Annabeth Wilton Church Planters- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Mojic & Munkho Baldandorj Church Planters- Denver, Colorado Prayer Request from the Missionaries: Elliff’s: For hearts of people to be prepared for the gospel in Roosevelt Community.
Fasolino’s: For Emmanuel Baptist Church to create community and family for those who are lonely and isolated. Kirkland’s: For their plans to plant a third Church in Cincinnati. Santiago’s: That God will open doors to share the gospel. Wilton’s: For more church planting missionaries who feel called to Pittsburg. Baldandorj’s: For true spiritual revival among Mongolians in Denver.
