Which one will you choose?

Why Give to Annie Armstrong? Because three of four people in North America are lost. One hundred percent

of dollars given to the AAEO go to support thousands of missionaries and their ministries in the United States

and Canada.

North American Missionaries - Though their stories and methods vary, our missionaries are doing whatever it

takes to share the gospel with North America. Whether it is starting a new church, meeting the needs of the

homeless, or leading Back Yard Bible Clubs, missionaries depend on the faithful prayers and generosity of

Southern Baptists. Please pray for our missionaries and give generously to the Annie Armstrong Easter

Offering®.

Our Week of Prayer is April 6 - 13, 2014. Our church's goal this year is $22,000. We will offer our gifts on

Sunday, April 13th.

April 6-13, 2014

Firmly Planted

The theme for the 2014 Annie Armstrong

Easter Offering (AAEO) for North

American Missions is Firmly Planted.

God designed plants to grow and bear

fruit. Their growth and production is

largely dependent upon their root systems

and the soils in which they are planted. Similarly, Christians

and churches must grow deep so that they can grow wide. Our

North American Mission Board (NAMB) missionaries are men

and women whom God has transplanted into the least

evangelized and churched areas of North America. There they

are putting down their roots, settling in and establishing

meaningful relationships with those who do not know Christ as

Lord and Savior. As God “firmly plants” them across North

America, He then begins to bring forth the fruit of changed

lives through them. We are privileged as a church to partner

with these choice men and women through praying, going and

giving.

This summer Joel Tucker and our students will travel north to

Indianapolis to provide hands on support to NAMB

missionaries in that city. They will labor with church planting

missionaries to assist their work in reaching unbelievers in this

greatly unchurched city. Be praying for this group that God

would strengthen their spiritual roots in preparation to serve.

It’s thrilling to see our Barnabas Sunday School Class extend

the love of Christ to Marines stationed in Spain by sending

care packages, notes of encouragement and copies of God’s

Word. Pray this labor of love will bear fruit in these young

Marines’ lives.

Aren’t we excited for our own Jenna Singletary who was

recently appointed as a Journeyman with our International

Mission Board (IMB)! She’ll serve two years overseas

following her graduation from Troy University this May. Be

praying for Jenna to be firmly planted so that she may reach

many for Christ abroad!

Be sure to speak to Bill Gamble, Jerome Baxley and Dr. Brian

Martin concerning their recent mission trips to Brazil and

Israel. God used these firmly planted men to build His

kingdom and bear fruit on the foreign field.

Also, many of our men and women have given themselves to

serve the Lord in two upcoming Walks to Emmaus. This effort

will reach many with a fresh touch of God’s love. Pray for

them.

What greater purpose could we all have for being alive than to

bear fruit for God’s glory?! First Baptist Church is deepening!

Our roots are becoming firmly planted! God is reaching

people through us. Hallelujah!
