next Meeting - October 14th - Palmetto Ave. Baptist Church - Sanford

Dear Fellow Pastor,

I hope this email finds you in good health and prospering in the Lord.  

Beyond a shadow of a doubt, we have been blessed beyond measure because God has spared us from the ravages of Dorian; however, our friends in the Bahamas who suffered the wrath of the Hurricane were not so fortunate.  Many of our churches have already responded to the initial need for Hurricane Relief by sending food, water, supplies, and money through Rick Schuessler's Champs Missions ministry or some other organization.  In addition to what we have already done, it is imperative that our State make plans for what we should do long-term to help the devastated people of the Bahamas.  There are people in our churches who would love to go on a Disaster Relief/Missions Trip to help rebuild the lives and homes of the people in the Bahamas, and we need to afford them an opportunity to do just that.  Please bring some ideas with you to our next meeting at 10:00 am on Monday, Oct. 14th, and we will discuss our options.

We are planning to feed you well, both physically and spiritually.  Some people eat to live and others of us live to eat!  Being one who loves to eat, it has been ordained that we will once again feast at our Annual Chinese Buffet at Palmetto Avenue Baptist Church in Sanford.  Plan to bring a hefty appetite and a friend with a hefty appetite.  

The spiritual food will be served up by long-time ministers of the Gospel from right here in our State.  George Mulford, Pastor of Grace Bible Baptist in Leesburg, has served as the Lead Pastor there for 28 years.  He is a product of the ministry of Pastor John McCall and Faith Baptist Church of Sarasota.  Believe it or not, George was a long-haired drummer in a rock band when God miraculously saved him!  He always brings a good message from the Lord.  Also, we have invited Pastor Brian Brown to speak for us.  He grew up in a pastor's home, under the ministry of Pastor Harold Ramsey at New Testament Baptist Church in Largo.  Brian is presently a staff consultant at LifePoint Church in Tampa, as well as, a minister with the Pasco County Sheriff's Dept.  He recently preached at our Youth Back-to-School Activity where eleven young people became Christ Followers.  He will certainly give us something to feast on.  Lastly, we have invited Mrs. Andrea Krazeise, the director of the Pregnancy Center of Sanford, to share with us what we can do as Pastors to "make a difference" in the lives of young women who desperately need some good, godly direction to make wiser choices in the future. 

Well, that's my story, and I'm stickin' to it!  I hope you will make every effort to be a part of this meeting.  The preaching, fellowship, and food will be worth your time to travel to this event.  I am looking forward to seeing you at our church.

May God's richest blessings be yours.
