“For I am convinced that neither death nor life,

neither angels nor demons,

neither the present nor the future,

nor any powers,

neither height nor depth,

nor anything else in all creation,

will be able to separate us from the love of God

that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”

~Romans 8:38-39 NIV~

Please continue to pray for Mrs. Avis Sullivan.  The nights have been long and hard and the days busy.  Pray for her family as they sit with her.

Continue to pray for Mr. Phillip and “Miss” Annie Bell Harrell.  They both have had some difficult days lately.  I know they will be thankful for your prayers.

Erin Evanoff continues to ask for your prayers as she faces surgery tomorrow morning.

Georgia Barnette State Offering for Louisiana Missions – Day 8

GA and RA Camps at Tall Timbers

Kimberly Williams and Gibbie McMillan, Directors

Acts 1:8 “

…and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem,

in all Judea and Samaria,

and to the ends of the earth.”

II Corinthians 5:20

“Therefore we are ambassadors for Christ…”

Camp brings to mind rustic settings, cabins, sports, and swimming.  The words “GA Camp” and “RA Camp”, broaden the picture to include Bible study, worship, and interaction with “real-live” missionaries, resulting in life-changing experiences for girls and boys. The Georgia Barnette State Missions Offering is active in missions education for girls and boys, helping to make mission’s camping experiences possible at Tall Timbers, our state Baptist conference center.

And there are life-changing experiences!  Darian, a 2009 GA camper knows that GA camp is where she began to know God has called her to be a missionary.  God had been dealing with her for a year; at GA camp, she said “yes.”

As we read this, GA and RA camp planning for 2011 is already underway,  as well as plans for other GA and RA events such as M-JAM (Mission Jamboree for GA and Children in Action and RA Congress.)

Pray for:

• campers and leaders who will attend in 2011;
• staff and missionaries as they seek God’s guidance in planning and preparation;
• the need for mission education through RA and GA and other WMU and Baptist Men organizations to be communicated in such a way that missions education will continue.

Mission education organizations such as GA, Children in Action and RA give children on-going opportunities to learn about, pray for, give to and DO missions right now, right where they are!

(Don’t forget to look for the two children from FBC, Amite in the picture of your prayer guide.)

May you see God’s rich blessings in your life this Lord’s Day!
