Mrs. Ginger Francois, former KHS principal, is in a room at North Oaks. Please pray for Mrs. Francois, her family, and the medical staff caring for her.

I forgot to include the Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering feature story for today.

“Our church is known in the community as a church that meets the needs of anyone who needs assistance. We also give generously to the Southern Baptist Convention programs and teach our RA, GA, and youth programs to give and serve as well,” reflects Matt. “Our theme is ‘Reaching the World for Christ through our Community’ – we believe in doing our part in reaching the world for Christ.”

Day 7- Matt Coussan

…and if you spend yourselves in behalf of the hungry and satisfy the needs of the oppressed, then your light will rise in the darkness, and your night will become like the noonday,” Isaiah 58:10.

“Our church is known in the community as a church that meets the needs of anyone who needs assistance. We also give generously to the Southern Baptist Convention programs and teach our RA, GA, and youth programs to give and serve as well,” reflects Matt.

Matt Coussan is the pastor of Duson Baptist Church in Duson. One unique attribute of Duson is that it rotates church leadership positions quarterly in order to develop leadership and identify spiritual gifts. “Every church member fully understands we exist to reach those outside of church. Our theme is ‘Reaching the World for Christ through our Community’ – we believe in doing our part in reaching the world for Christ. We also do several community outreach projects such as an adult literacy program, “Round Up” riding horses, and hay rides through the community. Duson also takes mission trips to the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home in Monroe,” states Matt.

Duson Baptist is sharing the transforming power of God’s love to its surrounding community. “Our current music minister has come from leading karaoke in bars and night clubs to leading worship on Sunday mornings,” says Matt. “Due to the church’s discipleship mentality he was able to get involved and use his talents for the Lord. He is now discipling and influencing others.”

Please pray for new families to move into the area. Pray that Duson Baptist is able to pay off their building note. Ask God for a smooth transition as Duson Baptist goes through a change in music leadership.
