Evangelism Training

April 27, 2015

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ:

Greetings, in the Mighty name of Jesus, our Christ, who claims us as His own, who calls us to continued ministry for Him, and who commissions us into active ministry of reconciling others through evangelism.

As a reminder, our next Evangelism Training Session:

When:      Monday – April 27, 2015 Time:  7:00p.m.

Location: New North Side Missionary Baptist Church

               8645 GoodFellow Blvd.

               St. Louis, Missouri, 63147

I am encouraging you to come and invite other evangelistic minded persons; Men and Women are needed.

Remember, this is the work of the Lord’s Church.

“May God continue to bless you and your ministry for His cause” is my continued prayer for you.

For the cause of Christ,

Rev. Dr. Grant Hughes

Director of Evangelism

Missionary Baptist State Convention of Missouri, Eastern Region

 

editor’s note: for those of us in the St. Louis area, this training would be an asset going into the Walter Cade Jr. Midwest Region Workshop since a part of each NBCUSA Laymen gathering is an Evangelism effort. Please consider taking advantage of these sessions.

End of Line

In my “Tron” voice for those of you who are sci-fi buffs and remember that old movie.

What does it mean? We are moving our future web posts to the parent body web site. We won’t delete this Blog just yet but there will be no further updates to this site. Please visit www.mbscm.org for Laymen updates and information from the parent body, other ministries, and districts around the state!

We will continue to use our Facebook and Twitter accounts for the forseeable future.

Thanks and God Bless!!

Smoke Alarm Installation Event--THANK YOU!

Editor’s Note: Some of our Laymen participated in this event. Stay tuned, there will be more opportunities down the road!

Subject: Smoke Alarm Installation Event--THANK YOU!

Good afternoon,

We here at the American Red Cross serving Eastern Missouri would like to take this opportunity to extend a big THANK YOU for helping us with our smoke alarm installation event over the weekend of March 7-8.

Because you were willing to give of your time, we were able to reach over 320 homes and install over 500 alarms!

None of this would have been possible with you, our wonderful volunteers.

· It was you who helped in the weeks leading up to the event, calling residents to confirm addresses and helping to recruit additional volunteers.

· It was you who helped put all of the materials—smoke alarms, batteries, paperwork, etc.—together before the event.

· It was you who spent several hours on either Saturday, Sunday, or both going to different homes with fire fighters to help install alarms and share lifesaving preparedness information.

· And it was you who made a wonderful impression on the residents of St. Louis whom you talked to. We have heard only amazing things about this event; a true testimony of your ability.

We have included a picture of all the homes we were able to reach over our two-day event. The green points are the homes we had identified heading in to the weekend. The yellow dots are the additional homes we were able to reach.

Again, THANK YOU for helping to make this the largest—and one of the most successful—installation canvassing events our region has held so far!

(P.S. If you enjoyed this event and would like to help again, we will be holding another event the weekend of April 18-19. More details to come! J)
