FROM: BRIAN HINTON, REGIONAL CAMPUS MINISTER

TO: THOSE WHO MINISTER TO COLLEGE STUDENTS

RE: CONVERGE LOCAL - ONLINE EVENT

We wanted to personally invite you and your collegiate ministry to join us for Converge our annual college conference. Every year, hundreds of college students from campuses all over Kentucky CONVERGE to Crossings at Cedarmore. Due to COVID-19, CONVERGE in person has been postponed! To fulfill our promise of reaching students for Christ we are offering a virtual converge experience for your church or campus ministry to engage in, called CONVERGE LOCAL.

Join us for a three-session virtual experience as we experience gospel centered teaching from Michael Matala; lead pastor of New Breed Church in Louisville, that mobilizes the college students to advance the gospel! At Converge Local, your college students and leaders will be equipped with Gospel-focused teaching that is relevant to what young adults are facing in today’s culture. This biblical guidance will guide your students and leaders with practical examples that will aid in taking the next steps in their walk with Christ to engage this generation.

When your group registers you will have access to the following on September 25, 2020.

1. Three Video sessions by our speaker Michael Matala

2. Three Student Testimonial Videos

3. Two Worship Session Videos provided by our Converge Band

4. Promo Material (Access will be available upon registration)

5. And Much, Much More

To ensure that as many churches and/or campus ministries can benefit from Converge Local we are providing this resource for FREE! Not only is Converge Local FREE but is also available for you to use when most convenient.

For more information or to register your group go to, www.convergekylocal.weebly.com and you will not want to miss this experience!

GREAT NEW MINISTRY RESOURCES

The Special Needs Ministry Work Group of the LRBA has launched a podcast (5 episodes now available) that we trust will benefit special needs individuals, families and the churches who desire to minister to them. Check it out and like the Indispensable Podcast FB page.

COVID-19 RESOURCES

The Louisville Regional Baptist Association has created a COVID-19 Pastor Relief Grant Fund which will be available for all participating LRBA member churches. This Fund has been established recognizing the extreme and unusual circumstances created by the current pandemic crisis. We understand that the financial strains that your church might be facing, especially in regards to providing for the needs of the pastor and pastor’s family, require prompt attention. While we recognize that various forms of relief are coming or maybe proposed, we want to help stand in the immediate gap for pastors in whatever way we can. Therefore, we are making ready-access funds available to assist with these needs. Our desire is to see little or no break in pastoral income. If your church is in need of this kind of support please contact our Associational Mission Strategist, Todd Robertson directly via email or through his direct office line (502-565-5413).

While we are establishing this Fund with monies already on hand, individuals or churches in a secure financial position may invest in the Fund for the support of pastors in sister congregations. You can give via GivApp (https://givapp.co/LRBA) or you can send a check to the LRBA office designated to the "Pastors Relief Fund." If you have any questions regarding this Fund, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Check out our website for information on other COVID-19 resources, and visit our Facebook page for updates.
