greekOur DBA Bible Insti­tute is pleased to announce the fol­low­ing Con­tin­u­ing Edu­ca­tion Min­istry course:

For More Infor­ma­tion, Con­tact: Rob­by Smith at 912–583-2713 or rsmithdba@windstream.net or David Bar­rett (Bible Insti­tute Dean) at 912–537-7343 or dlbarrett@bellsouth.net.

 

please-pray Our Free­dom House (tran­si­tion­al cen­ter for for­mer inmates) will open ear­ly Jan­u­ary of 2017 (if not soon­er) and we need your help. Please begin pray­ing for this min­istry and specif­i­cal­ly for a 12 or 15 pas­sen­ger van or the $15,000 to pur­chase one. This is a great need as we can­not open that min­istry cen­ter until the trans­porta­tion issue is solved. Again, I don’t ask this light­ly as I know God can and will meet this need but I also know it will be accom­plish through prayer and the gifts of God’s peo­ple. If you have any ques­tions please give us a call at 912–583-2713.

 

Please be in prayer for this week’s Church­es of the Week:

  • Friend­ship Bap­tist (pas­tor Paul Thompson)Week_of_Prayer_Web_copy
  • Grace Truth (pas­tor James Tippins)
  • Ham­mond Bap­tist (pas­tor Daniel Caraway)
  • Har­mo­ny Bap­tist (cur­rent­ly with­out a pastor)
  • Please be in prayer for Bob­by Thomp­son (pas­tor of Taber­na­cle) in the death of his moth­er Bet­ty Thompson.

 

QUOTE OF THE WEEK
The gospel has done its work in us when we crave God more than we crave every­thing else in life and when see­ing His king­dom advance in the lives of oth­ers gives us more joy than any­thing we could own. When we see Jesus as greater than any­thing the world can offer, we’ll glad­ly let every­thing else go to pos­sess Him. ‑J.D. Greear

 

Blessed to serve,

Rob­by
