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).
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:
- Please put the Walk for Bibles and International Ministries on your church calendar
for publicity.
- 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.”
- 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.
- 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.
