ABA National Meeting - Day 1

We traveled to Springfield, Missouri today. It is the location for the American Baptist Association Messenger Meeting. After we arrived and grabbed some dinner we attended a couple events I really enjoy.

Reception Welcoming Messengers & Guest
The event is sponsored by Missionary Baptist Seminary in Little Rock, Arkansas. I love the reception because it gives everyone time to get together before everything begins tomorrow.

Missionary Share Time

There is also a time for any missionary who would like to speak to share a report. In Acts 1:8 we see the scope of outreach each church should have. God's vision is for churches to carry the gospel to the entire planet. However, every year I stand in awe of all the wonderful places the gospel is going. I left 2 hours into it and missionaries where still sharing stories of churches planted and people responding to the gospel. Please pray for the missionary families.


I'm praying for a great week of meetings and general sessions.

Well, how could you forget the American Baptist Association of Theological Schools meeting? It was held from 7:30 to about 9:00. Also, I'll be posting after the sessions as well, so maybe between the two of us we can cover it all!
