Speaker Line Up

Key Note Speaker

Ken and Gina Fraley pastored here in Decatur for many years, and now in retirement, have joined the staff of First Bible International - endeavoring to bring 'first' copies of the Word of God to millions of unreached people around the world.  Just ten cents provides that gift to be handed to the smiling recipient, and yet there are so many still waiting for their own copy.  $500 buys a ream [skid] of paper out of which 5,000 copies can be made.  Our goal this week is to buy many skids for several waiting countries.  Our prayer is for those being creamed by sin, suffering, and their society to get 'reamed' by saints of God at GBC!

Sunday AM/Wednesday

 


Michael Paul Leek and his wife Alisa are part of Team Kenya, heading in just a few months to the coastal safari region of Africa.  Their team of nine adults is led by Aaron and Stephanie Boon, from last year's conference, and 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.  GBC has a strong desire for more representation in Africa, and we pray that giving can increase enough to add this family to ours!

Sunday PM/Tuesday



 

Pastor Jerry will be sharing about his sabbatical trip to Ecuador, along with Randy and Sherry Rhoton and the McGhee family, who have been serving there most of their lives, building many churches in the cities and now in the jungles of the Amazon Basin ... 'regions beyond' only reachable by boat, very near the Waodani tribe which was reached thru the efforts of martyred missionaries such as Jim Elliot and Nate Saint and their family members.  The McGhees have first class dormitories out of which they lead mission teams such as ours deep into the jungle on day trips, returning for comfortable nights in the city.  Pastor has reserved the telling of his adventure for this time, believing some of you will want to take the same trip in the near future!

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!
