“It shall come to pass that before they call, I will answer;

and while they are still speaking, I will hear.”

~Isaiah 65:24~

Pray for local National Guard members (205th) who will be saying last good-byes before their service in the Middle East.

I don’t know all the names of the local men, but I know Dawson Primes.  His brother, Chris, is physically unable to go, but Chris’ son, Chris, is going.  I’m proud of the men and women who are serving and thankful they love our country and freedom enough to sacrifice their time for us.  May God watch over each one of them and each family member who will be marking off the days on a calendar.

Baptist Theological Seminary of Malawi Endowment

Overview: The Baptist Theological Seminary of Malawi plays a vital role in reaching Malawi for Christ, both in providing leaders for existing work and in reaching the lost. The IMB has recently realized a vision of nationalizing this institution and they are currently self-supporting. The seminary depends solely on student fees, income generating projects, donations from small Malawian Baptist churches and the existing endowment. The Dowdy endowment income has been greatly reduced in recent years diminishing its ability to help provide a seminary education for Malawian Baptists. Student fees have steadily risen causing the student enrollment to drop from 40 to approximately 25 students. At current rates of return on investment a gift of only $575 will fund one week of education for a student for years to come. $20,000 will provide a full term for a student for years. $60,000 will educate one student each year for years to come. There could be no better investment.

Giving Opportunities for Baptist Theological Seminary of Malawi Endowment

FBC, Kentwood will present “Hallelujah, Praise the Lamb” on Palm Sunday, March 24th at 10:30.  You are invited to attend.
