It is important to uphold the ministries that we share with other churches of our denomination. I would like to promote one to you. It is called the United Baptist Woman's Missionary Union (UBWMU). This organization does great work at keeping our Convention Churches active in missionary work, and aware of our missionaries serving abroad. You can check out their website at http://www.atlanticbaptistwomen.ca/ . Scroll down on the left hand side of the page and click on Missions. Most if not all of our missionaries and their placements are listed.
The reason why I checked out this page the other day was to find a contact for the Daily Vacation Bible School Missionaries that this organization sends out every summer. Each year they hire teams of students to travel to different churches to lead the DVBS program for children. This year we (New Life Baptist) are checking into having two students come to help us out.
I would like to encourage this very important ministry to you. Check out the good work that they do. Maybe it is something that we (our ladies) might want to become involved in. It would serve to help our church be more mission minded, and invloved in the lives of our missionaries.
Our ministry does not stop at the boundaries of our area. God's command to preach the gospel to the whole world still applies today, and every Christian has a part to play in that happening. The UBWMU is a great way for us to stay proactively involved.
On Friday I will post an article pertaining to Sunday's message, "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing."
Blessings,
-Leo
