John’s valve replacement went very well according to his doctor.  John will be 94 on September 10th.  A while back he sang a special at his church.  It was “The Longer I Serve Him, the Sweet it Grows”.  It was absolutely beautiful and so special.

Louisiana Baptist Disaster Relief

BASELA Family- we are making Disaster Relief Preparations with the LBC in response to Hurricane Laura. We most likely will deploy a Feeding Unit to Lake Charles (or near there) Monday. Chainsaw Teams/mudout teams will be needed. If you can volunteer please call our missions office and leave your contact information (985-839-3827 select option three) Please be patient as we cannot deploy volunteers until the storm passes and law enforcement gives the okay. Please join me in praying for people in the pTh of the storm. -Bro. Stan

 

 

 

There will be plenty to do to help in the wake of this storm.  Not everyone needs to go and cut trees, repair roofs, etc.  Each person can do what God has equipped them to do.  Please do what God leads you to do.  I know we can all pray!

We are thankful Hurricane Laura missed our area for the most part, but realize other people will be greatly influenced by the weather in the next few days.  Pray for safety for the people.  Also, pray for individual preparations and wise decision making.

 

 

 

The Covid-19 virus has impacted people in various ways.  A number of people are trying to work long-delayed surgeries in at area hospitals  Pray all will be done in God’s perfect timing.

 

 

 

Pray for those who are pretty-well homebound because of the virus.  It’s been almost six months for us.  Withdrawal from the normal activities of our lives causes major changes.  We have two people here, but pray especially hard for individuals who are alone.  Days can be long between mail, phone calls ,and visits.

 

 

 

Please pray for all the area students up through college age who are beginning another year of school.  Pray for good health and wise choices for each person.  Pray for teachers who are facing job changes or retirement due to Covid-19.

This is a big week in Louisiana – Covid-19, Margo, and Laura

Let’s start over:

This is a big week in Louisiana – Church yesterday, revival at the end of the week, opportunities to help others, time to stay at home with family, etc

Bro. Darryl and his son, Phillip, ended church yesterday morning with “The Anchor Holds”,

The Story Behind – “The Anchor Holds” written and performed by Lawrence Chewning

This is the service from FBC, Kentwood, LA yesterday morning.  I hope you choose to watch the whole service.  If not, choose to listen to Bro. Darry and Phillip Miller sing “The Anchor Holds” at the end of the service.  You’ll be blessed and more prepared for the week.

 

 

 

Stay safe from the virus, the hurricanes, and all the other things that try to overwhelm us.  Remember your faith and hold tight to the “Anchor”.

If you are unable to attend church or just need to stay home for now, most of the local churches and many others, offer online church services .  What a blessing that is!  Say special prayers for both of these problems and for those who might be affected by them this week.

From Samaritan’s Purse

Is there any group planning a prayer march for our area?
Please be in prayer as two hurricanes could possibly hit our area in a few days.  Include the people of our area in your prayers.  Take some steps today to prepare, just in case.  Check on others who might need some assistance in storm preparations.
I read that sandbags can be filled at area fire stations.  Flooding is not usually a problem in the Kentwood area, but there are many homes within a short distance of Kentwood that could face flooding.
What could you do to help them?  This is a good mission project for groups from area churches.

Fall Food Round-Up for the Louisiana Baptist Children’s Home

The truck will be at FBC, Kentwood on September 21.  Be sure to have your donations at church before that date.  Check with the office to learn of the items most needed at the children’s home.

 

 

 

Operation Christmas Child is still collecting and will begin packing soon.  I’m not sure if we will have our usual packing party due to Covid-19.  I’ll update you when that decision is made.  We will pack and ship shoeboxes this year.  We will also be serving as a collection site again this year.  Remember, there are children who have never had a “shoebox” filled with gifts and an introduction to Jesus.  Let’s be instrumental in being the “missionaries” who help them learn about Jesus.

 

 

 

Thanks for your prayers for all those mentioned here and for those who are not mentioned by name, but who are “Standing in the Need of Prayer”.  Here is a different arrangement, featuring focusing on children.  I think you will appreciate it.
