Director's
Corner
I want to inform you about a great opportunity coming up in
August. On Saturday night, August 14th, we will have the first
ever Association Men's Rally, hosted by First Baptist Church Clanton. We
will begin with a meal at 6:00 P.M., followed by a powerful testimony
and challenging message from one of the most dynamic preachers in the
nation, Dr. Bobby Welch. This is for men and boys. Please
feel free to invite your friends from other churches and denominations
and especially lost men in your family, at your work, and throughout
your community. Dr. Welch is an exceptional evangelistic preacher
and we need to take advantage of this special opportunity.
On Sunday night, August 15th, 6:00 P.M., in the Clanton First Baptist
Christian Life Center, we will have our Annual Association Evangelism
Rally. Dr. Welch will be our speaker for this event as well.
We are asking you to move your service to First Clanton on this evening.
I realize there are concerns whenever you do something like this.
Not everyone that normally attends your church on Sunday evening will
attend if you move your service. However, those that do
participate, will be part of an outstanding worship and evangelistic,
revival-type meeting that will motivate, challenge and encourage them,
like very few they will ever have the opportunity to attend. For
some, this could be a life-changing experience. If only a few of
your members attend, imagine what a tremendous impact and influence they
could have throughout your entire church. We only ask you to do
this one time a year. I would not do that, if I did not truly
believe it was worth it.
Please call the Association Office if you have any questions about
Saturday or Sunday evening.

JUST A THOUGHT:
There is a difference between "Church Growth" and "Growing a Church".
CHURCH GROWTH is all about filling the building.
GROWING A CHURCH is all about filling the people.

Baptist Christian Life Center
GUEST
SPEAKER:
DR. BOBBY WELCH
Dr. Welch is a native of Fort Payne, Al and
Vietnam War hero. He was a U.S. Army paratrooper, Ranger, jungle
expert and Green Beret who ultimately attained the rank of Captain.
He was a highly decorated soldier, receiving the Bronze Star with "V"
device for bravery, a Purple Heart, and an Air Medal and Combat
Infantryman Badge to mention only a few.
The Army reconnaissance platoon leader, shot by a
Viet Cong guerilla and believed dying, was piled, along with three other
war casualties, onto a military helicopter. The severely wounded
American officer, who would later become a Green Beret, struggled to
survive and recommitted his life to Christ.
Bro. Bobby is a graduate of New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary. While in Seminary, he pastored the First
Baptist Church of Norco, La. "That was interesting", he says, "in
that I hadn't been in church much at all when the Lord called me to
preach." Also while in seminary, he had the privilege of being a
"street preacher" from the back of a Volkswagen van. "That was
cutting-edge training for me", he says.
Dr. Welch pastored First Baptist Church of Daytona
Beach from 1974-2006, is former President of the Southern Baptist
Convention, and in early 2007 was named the first Strategist for Global
Evangelical Relations with the Southern Baptist Convention's Executive
Committee. He continues to passionately proclaim the message of
soul winning, preaching in churches, conferences and convention
meetings, nationally and internationally. He seeks to "continue
the urging and encouraging cry, across the Southern Baptist Convention
as well as to other evangelicals, to equip, train, and mobilize our
members to share the Gospel with their family and friends and people
around the world."
SATURDAY, AUGUST 14TH
6:00 P.M. - Clanton First
Baptist Christian Life Center
Meal Provided
All men are urged to attend this
very special Rally. Dr. Welch will be giving his personal
testimony. Bro. Bobby believes as Christians, we are at war, but
the spiritual battlefield is much larger and much more intense than any
news station will ever report. Christians in God's army can launch
an effective campaign to win and disciple the national, local and
international world to Christ. Christians should be on the
offensive, ready for attack and prepared to go to battle at any time.
Men, come hear Dr. Welch, the ultimate Warrior Leader, share how you can
become an intentional army for the Kingdom of Christ. Copies of
Dr. Welch's book, You, the Warrior Leader, will be available at
the Rally.
PLEASE CALL THE ASSOCIATION OFFICE BY
AUGUST 2ND WITH YOUR RESERVATIONS!!
