In January, the VBA held a luncheon where many of our Ministers met to discuss a major event that will be taking place in 2012. For several years I have been calling it the Associational Tent Revival. Well, the new and official name of the event that will be printed on all future publications is printed above. Help us get the word out to our communities that this crusade is coming. There are plenty of areas where you may have a desire to help. There is a need for ushers, greeters, parking lot help, choir members, strong men who can help set up and take down the tent, publicity, counseling, and above all else, prayer warriors. If you would like to serve in any of these areas, contact the VBA office and we will put you in touch with the team leader for that area of service.
On February 27-28, 2012, Valdosta will host the GBC State Evangelism Conference. The theme, schedule and speakers are listed on the front page of the VBA News. Northside Baptist Church in Valdosta is the location for the event. I hope that you will take advantage of this opportunity to attend while it is in our area. I am grateful to the leadership of the Georgia Baptist Convention for bringing this event to our area.
The VBA welcomes two new Pastors! Trinity Baptist Church in Homerville has called Michael Aldridge as their new pastor. We welcome Michael into our fellowship. Pray for him and his family as they have already started their tenure at this fine church. FBC, Homerville has called a new Pastor who will begin his tenure this month. At the time I am writing this I cannot give you his information. I will share that information with you in March after we are certain he has had the time to share the news with his congregation. I will share his information with our Ministers prior to the VBA News for March via email. We do praise the Lord for leading both of these men and their families to our area. Please continue to pray for the five VBA churches who continue the search for God’s man for their congregations.
What a joy and privilege to serve with you as we seek to minister in the lives of our respective communities.
