Speaker Line Up

Key Note Speaker

Randy and Sherry Rhoton are veteran missionaries to Costa Rica and now much of Central and South America via Kuna Hope Missions - leading many groups such as ours from GBC on missions trips to secluded peoples hungry for the gospel!  Mrs. Sherry is a VBS and children's ministry specialist extraordinaire and will be conducting our Go Kids Missions Conference in all services during the adult conference.  Bro. Randy was our Pastor's pastor as a child at Grace Baptist in Milan, NM.  The Rhoton's youngest son, Ryan, serves in the ministry with them and makes it one of his primary goals to redefine the word chillaxin'. 

Sunday AM/Wednesday

 

 

 

Lily and Max Rhoton are our honored guests this week, and we have asked their parents to come along as well!  Ray and Kristi Rhoton are our own missionaries since 2002, serving in Costa Rica and Panama via VIDA Ministries.  Lily is from a Kuna tribe where the team has ministered and has been part of the family for several years.  Her adoption just went through a few months ago.  And Max wasn't born yesterday, but close!  On 9/14/11 he was added to the family. 

Monday



 

Aaron and Stephanie Boon have three children and are the leaders of Team Kenya, heading in just a few months to the coastal safari region of Africa.  Their team of nine adults employs a unique strategy, using their diversity of gifts to start churches and MANNA feeding centers in one of the most populated, fastest growing, youth filled regions on the planet.  They will also minister to us in music!  Kids:  Kennedy 6, Claire 4, and Elliot 17 months

Sunday PM/Tuesday

Note:  The Boons will present their field of Kenya in one of their services and the other night will share a special presentation about Africa missions trip opportunities and a unique testimony that fits our "GO" theme.

All services include a video from the mission field and a Q&A time.

Faith Promise Missions

Please prayerfully consider what God would have you to do for worldwide missions.

"You can pray,

 you can give,

 you can go!"

Here is the pledge card you will receive on Sunday.  Please notice there is no place for your name.  Your pledge is between you and God, and this card is for our budgeting purposes only, so we can know how many new missionaries we can add this year. 

  This is the one time each year we ask our people to come out on a Monday and Tuesday.  Please make arrangements and don't miss the blessing!
