Missions

• In October, we are collecting both for our Backpack Ministry and items for Missy Ward Angalla to take back to Uganda when she returns in November. Needs for our Backpack Ministry include: Individually-packaged portions of: cereal, fruit cups, oatmeal, Poptarts, pudding cups, cookies, soup, mac’n’cheese, Vienna sausages, tuna crackers, peanut butter crackers, chips, ramen, spaghetti o’s, and ravioli.
  Missy shared with our missions team that women often feel shamed as they leave the hospital if they don’t have the appropriate clothes for their children.  You will find trunks/lockers at our two main entrances.  We are filling these with Missy’s needs and she will actually take the trunks back with her.  Lets shower her mission work with onesies, sleepers (for newborn – 12 months), teethers, as well as multi-vitamins for pregnant women.
• Offering for Global Missions Week of Prayer
  http://www.cbf.net/ogm

This week is CBF’s first-ever week of prayer for the Offering for Global Missions. The Offering for Global Missions provides for the long-term presence of Cooperative Baptist Fellowship field personnel. Because presence matters, field personnel are present to cultivate beloved community, bear witness to Jesus Christ, and seek transformational development. As Jesus did with the two on the road to Emmaus (Luke 24:13-35), they are present to come near, go with, stay with, talk with and break bread with some of the world’s most neglected people. This year’s goal for the Offering for Global Missions is $4 million. This goal will fund the compensation, benefits and housing of field personnel and the educational needs of their children. During this week, we ask you to join with us in praying for the work done around the world thanks to the Offering for Global Missions. Resources related to the Offering are available online for individuals, churches and small groups. A daily guide features prayer points, scripture focus, videos and litanies. Join us in praying for the work accomplished through the Offering for Global Missions—Because Presence Matters.
