I pray each of you had a wonderful and safe
Labor Day Weekend. I was blessed over the weekend to visit my daughter Josalyne Ray who is a first-year teacher in Corpus Christi. She has also surrendered to the ministry while serving at her church. I was also double blessed to be able to take two of my grandchildren with me. My wife and I had a wonderful time just being grandparents over the long weekend.
SOMETHING NEW!
Each week, I will publish a weekly video
"Director of Missions One Minute Report"
Over the next 40 days we will be preparing for the Tri-Rivers Baptist Area Annual Meeting of Churches hosted by Cottonwood Baptist Church of Dublin on Sunday, October 14th.

October 7th is HOPE SUNDAY
. I am asking each church member within the Tri-Rivers Baptist Area to give only $4.00 per person in the Ministry of Hope. This money will go in support of the Tri-Rivers Ministries of: Domestic Violence, Free Preteen/Youth Retreats, Disaster Relief and Churches Helping Churches. Please pray, give and participate in these valuable ministries that cannot be accomplished by a single church, but together we can accomplish much for the Lord. At the Annual Meeting of Church - October 14th, I will announce how much HOPE was raised in support of meeting the needs of those who are hurting and in need.
Your Tri-Rivers Domestic Violence Team is seeking potential Advocates to serve. If you are interested in serving please register online or call your Area Office.

Until next week, "You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:6-8
