COVID: New Direction Bible Fellowship

 

Kanita Benson, Director of Evangelism and Missions at New Direction Bible Fellowship, Wilmington, led a multi-week online interactive seminar on multi-cultural evangelism and missions. Those participating in the seminar included people from her own church, as well as folk from Idaho, New York City, Los Angeles, and also a couple from Argentina! Kanita shared a lot of stats regarding spiritually unreached people in our country and around the world.

A few "take-aways" included:

  • when the church (locally and globally) has lost its identity the world will place an identity upon it
  • if the world is lost, we are the means by which it finds its salvation
  • if you take missions out of the Bible, all you have left is the cover
  • our God is a global God, He is not just for America but for the whole world
  • prayer does not fit us for a greater work, prayer is the greater work
  • trauma will be the Number 1 mission field in the 21st century

COVID: Forest Baptist Church

 

Pastor Sue Wilson-Radel at Forest Baptist Church reports how someone from the congregation inquired about doing something nice for the local hospital ER staff. They decided on 10 pizzas from a business who offered a great price and wrote a note on behalf of our church telling them that we are praying for them and we appreciate all of their hard work. Nice!

COVID: Logan's Valley Baptist Church

 

In the midst of the current health crisis, the congregation at Logan's Valley Baptist Church has figured out how to reach out to needy families in the community. A "Porch Ministry" where food supplies can be picked up -- there were fresh carrots and sweet potatoes as well as dinner in a bag. Also spaghetti sauce and spaghetti bagged together ready for pick up.
