WALK FOR BIBLES AND INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES 2008
Plan Now to Join us OCTOBER 18 2008

 8:00 a.m. through 10:00 a.m.

(Groups leave every 15 minutes in order to be finished by noon)

 Early birds start at 7:00 AM, (register when you finish). I

In the month of July, more than 15 men have prayed to receive Christ as their Savior and Lord at the International Ministries Center.  These men represent four different languages.  Because of your great participation in past Walks for Bibles and International Ministries, we had a Bible in the language of each of the men who prayed to receive Christ. 

Our new USC-2 missionaries, Jarrod and Jessica Watts, are able to serve with us and make a vital contribution to the ministry to seafarers and the International Language School.  Their work is possible because MBA churches believe in the Walk for Bibles and International Ministries. 

And, last but certainly not least, God is using the International Ministries of the MBA to impact the 42 language groups in Mobile County in great part because of funds from WFBIM. 

The Walk for Bibles and International Ministries is scheduled for Saturday, October 18 at 8:00 AM this year.  In response to requests to make WFBIM as accessible as possible to as many people as possible, we have coordinated four walk sites:

The International Ministries Center

Dauphin Island Baptist Church

University of Mobile and

First Baptist Church of Citronelle

 

The Captain’s Banquet will be Tuesday, September  9, 6:30 PM at Cottage Hill Baptist Church.  All Pastors are encouraged and Captains are required to attend this training event.  Detailed information regarding forms, registration, mobilization and walk sites will be given at this time.  Please mark your calendars for both the walk on October 18 and the banquet on September 9.  WFBIM has the greatest financial impact on International Ministries of any single event we do.  Be thinking of creative ways to get your congregation, student ministry, Sunday School Class, men’s ministry, RA’s, GA’s, AWANA’s, WMU  and all missions loving people involved.  We have had several requests to make this an annual event instead of every two years. Please let us know your thoughts.

Dear Friends:

We are looking forward to your participation in this year’s Walk for Bibles and International Ministries.



We are asking your church to support this event in the following ways:

  1. Please put the Walk for Bibles and International Ministries on your church calendar for publicity.
  2. Please make sure that your church has a Team Captain and that you support his/her efforts to enlist walkers in this “partnership mission action.”
  3. There will be a dinner for Team Captains, Mission Leaders and Pastors on September 9.  This will be the only training opportunity. Instructions and promotional materials will be distributed at this meeting.
  4. Encourage your people to pray for sponsors. Pray that this Walk will bring glory to God, and that it will involve many people in mission action and mission support.
