heal their land.‖

Baptist Collegiate Ministry Committee

Resolution:

IN RECOGNITION OF THE SERVICE OF MRS. CHARLOTTE SORRELL TO THE

DYER BAPTIST ASSOCIATION AND TO THE BAPTIST COLLEGIATE MINISTRY

The DYER BAPTIST ASSOCIATION,

Recognizing that the Baptist Collegiate Ministry is an organization that seeks to assist students on

their life journey by keeping them focused on Jesus Christ and,

Noting that Jesus said, “Come to me … learn from me” (Matthew 11:28 -29) and Jesus also said,

“Go and make disciples of all nations ...” (Matthew 28:19) and,

Recalling the Dyer Baptist Association, in cooperation with the Tennessee Baptist Convention,

began a ministry on the campus of Dyersburg State Community College soon after the college opened in

1969. Mrs. Charlotte Sorrell was a founding member of the Dyer Baptist Association team that served to

help organize and advise this ministry and,

Noting that over the next 42 years the Baptist Student Union and then the Baptist Collegiate

Ministry, as it has come to be called, enjoyed the consistent guiding hand of Mrs. Charlotte Sorrell as she

served on the BSU/BCM Advisory Committee for Dyer Baptist Association and,

Taking note during many of those years of service she served as Chairperson of the committee and

also as Secretary of the committee and,

Recalling that furthermore, on two occasions, Mrs. Charlotte Sorrell served as Interim BSU Director

and,

Aware that the Dyer Baptist Association Baptist Collegiate Ministry Committee: Joe Naylor,

Chairman; Susan Halliburton, Mona Ozment, David Allen, Director of Missions Dr. Joe Wright, Ex Officio

member; DSCC Faculty Advisor Dr. Billy Williams, Ex Officio member; Moderator Rev. John Compere,

Ex Officio member; Assistant Moderator Rev. Loren Stephens, Ex Officio member;

Background Information

Motion approved February 1998 by the Executive Board of the Dyer Baptist Association:

On December 24, 1997, the officers of Dyer Baptist Association, Inc. received on behalf of the association a

quantity of M.A.Hanna stocks designated to be used in future jail and reconstruction ministries. An account

was established in the name of Dyer Baptist Association, Inc. at Edward Jones, a stock and securities

company.

The Edward Jones Company is asking that this action be approved by the entire Board of Directors of Dyer

Baptist Association, Inc.

Therefore, we recommend that the Board of Directors approve retroactively to December 24, 1997, this

action that was taken by the officers of Dyer Baptist Association, Inc. be approved.

This account is being established by Dyer Baptist Association, Inc. with the understanding that when the

people that are involved in the jail ministry attain their non-profit and corporation status, that these stocks be

transferred to the new corporation.

Motion:

On August 8, 2011 a request for a grant of the escrowed funds being held by DBA was received from

Damascus, Inc.

On behalf of the Budget & Finance Committee and the Missions Committee, we would like to recognize this

request for access to these funds held in escrow for a post-incarceration, reconstruction ministry. Damascus,

Inc. has fulfilled all of our requests which includes providing their Mission Statement, Vision Statement,

State of Tennessee Corporate Charter, IRS Letter of Determination and a current list of their officers and

board members.

After much examination and research along with meetings with Dr. Joe Wright (present DOM) and Rev. Joe

Naylor (previous DOM), we conclude that the Damascus ministry fulfills all the requirements placed upon

them by the association and hereby request a grant of the monies held in escrow to be placed for their use

with the following conditions:

1. All monies in excess of $30,000.00 be made immediately available to the Damascus, Inc. ministry.

2. The remainder of $30,000.00 plus any accrued interest be made available to the Damascus, Inc. at the time

of their closing on their future property.

3. That Dyer Baptist Association accept the gracious invitation of allowing Dr. Joe Wright to serve on the

Board of Directors for the coming year and that in each following year he or his designee serve likewise.

(See following letter of request)

This recommended motion is made on behalf of a unanimous vote of the Budget & Finance Committee and

the Missions Committee of the Dyer Baptist Association.

Dr. Joe Wright

Director of Missions

Dyer Baptist Association

3057 Highway 51 South

Dyersburg, TN 38024

Dear Brother Joe Wright,

It is the understanding of the men and women associated with Damascus Inc. that the Dyer Baptist

Association has funds held in escrow for the development of a local Christian Jail Aftercare Housing

Ministry.

We believe that Damascus is the ministry you have been waiting for GOD to initiate.

We would like for the Dyer Baptist Association to partner with Damascus in this ministry and also to make

the full amount of the escrowed funds available.

Damascus is a group of men and women, from various churches of the community, who have come together

to establish a ministry-to-men to address the issues associated with rebuilding lives destroyed through crime,

incarceration, substance abuse, or other life debilitating situations.

The ministry will consist of a structured, programmatic, residential environment dedicated to discipling men

in living a CHRIST-centered life, teaching various life skills, and assisting in job training and employment.

The residence is expected to house thirty men.

This ministry group, in 2010, formed a 501(c)3 corporation, and is structured with a board of directors,

volunteer officers, and volunteer workers to bring the vision to reality.

As we respond to GOD in obedience, we are excited about what HE is doing and the way in which HE is

moving. We sincerely pray that the Dyer Baptist Association will join us in this long awaited ministry. To

that end, and in hopes of an ongoing relationship we invite you to take a seat on the Board of Directors for

Damascus Inc.

Thank you for this consideration.

In HIS Love,

Paul Forster

DYER BAPTIST ASSOCIATION RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE REPORT FOR 2011

Members of Committee:

Nathe Ozment-Mount Vernon Baptist Church

Jeremy Byrd-Halls First Baptist

Bill Taylor, Chairman-Mount Tirzah Baptist

Resolution I

Whereas, in accordance with I Peter 4:9, Trimble First Baptist Church has shown a great spirit of

hospitality in hosting the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Dyer Baptist Association; and demonstrating fervent

love for fellow laborers by utilizing their gift of servant hood in providing a place of fellowship and

preparing a wonderful meal, we do hereby bestow our deepest gratitude for all of their selfless service lead

by their pastor Bill Oakley. We do pray and ask for God's greatest blessing to fall upon the fellowship of

believers at Trimble First Baptist Church.

Inasmuch as Second Baptist Church under the leadership of Ronnie Turner, has opened her doors in

hosting the second night of the 2011 Annual Meeting of the Dyer Baptist Association, this committee would

like to express our heartfelt thanks for the continued promotion of the fellowship of Southern Baptists in the

Dyer Baptist Association. May God richly bless your congregation as you continue to serve Him.

Resolution II

Since its launch in 1925, the Cooperative Program of the Southern Baptist Convention has become the

world‘s most efficient way of raising funds for foreign and domestic missions. For the last 86 years, each

Southern Baptist church has prayerfully given a portion of their tithes and offerings to support the

Cooperative Program. Each year the Cooperative Program helps to support over ten thousand missionaries

around the globe. The Dyer Baptist Association commends this strong evangelistic effort as during the last

86 years untold millions have come to know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior. Furthermore since God

has blessed this evangelistic effort, this committee would like to challenge each of our churches to

prayerfully consider giving one percent more to the Cooperative Program so that more may come to know

Christ.

Dyer Baptist Association

Director of Mission’s Report

October 17, 2011

Reverend Smith, a respected church Pastor, arrived in a large city to deliver a series of speeches.

At a banquet the first evening, he noticed some reporters in the audience. Because he wanted to use some of

the stories he told that night in his speeches the next day, he asked the reporters to omit them from their

articles. One article that came out the next day, written by a cub reporter, concluded with this line:

"Reverend Smith also told a number of stories that cannot be printed."

I wonder when all is said and done, what will be reported of Dyer Baptist Association? Matthew

25:23

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few

things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. I am sure that all of us

look forward to hearing our Lord call us ‗good and faithful‘ servants. What must we do to be obedient to the

call of God upon our lives? Obviously, we must not only be His children but we must fulfill His

commandments and there is no greater commandment for the people of God than to go into the world as

witnesses of His love and to share that love and salvation to all that we come into contact with. The Dyer

Baptist Association of churches continues to seek to fulfill the Acts 1:8 mandate by being involved not only

in our local communities and regions, but around our world with the simple gospel story of our Lord and

Savior, Jesus Christ! This past year has been filled to overflowing with the activities of our churches and association as we

sought to reach out in ministry to our world. Disaster Relief, Men‘s and Women‘s Ministries, the Jerusalem

Project, Vacation Bible Schools, revivals and a multitude of mission projects were all coordinated together to

fulfill the directives of our Lord‘s commands. Only eternity will reveal the success of our efforts and it is

imperative that we work ever harder to accomplish the goals set before as the imminent arrival of our Lord

draws ever nearer. This coming year will include much of the continuing ministries which are already so successful and

popular but as your Director of Missions, I hope to lead our association through a number of different

emphases that will enhance our abilities to continue to be effective in our cooperative ministries. The first activity I request the association to undertake is the setting aside of the Sunday of April 22,

2012 to be observed as Cooperative Program Sunday in our churches and to be promoted as ―CP Day in

DBA!‖ On this Sunday, I will be asking your Pastor if he will allow a missionary to speak on the importance

of the cooperative method of underwriting missions across the Southern Baptist Convention and how that is

enabling us to effectively reach our world with the evangelistic message of the gospel. We will have a

planning banquet on Friday, February 24, 2012 and all our Pastors and Executive Board members will be

invited including their spouses. We will be putting together our plans for ―CP Day in DBA!‖ during that

meeting and we will also be blessed to have Dr. Randy Davis, Executive Treasurer/Director of the Tennessee

Baptist Convention with us that evening as encourager and speaker. Another activity of the upcoming year will be a timely reviewing of our association‘s Constitution and

Bylaws which have not been updated for a number of years. I will be asking the Bylaws and Guidelines

Committee to undertake this task to help us more clearly define our role as an association and to continue to

envision a future where the churches of the Dyer Baptist Association seek to cooperatively reach out to the

world that begins on our doorsteps and ends at the ‗uttermost.‘ An important activity that I desire to lead our association in is to actively seek God‘s will is reaching

our lost communities through a concerted outreach effort that will result in an evangelistic ‗casting of the

nets.‘ In cooperation with the Tennessee Baptist Convention, I will encourage not only our Evangelism

Committee but all our Pastors to pray for God‘s will to plan, develop and implement a community-wide

outreach event that will seek to win the lost to Christ. Wouldn‘t it be such a great blessing if we saw revival

break out not only in the Baptist churches but all across our communities?

Last but not least, church planting remains a priority for the Dyer Baptist Association as we see our

individual church plants thrive and mature. It is my hope that as each of these become self-sufficient, we

will allow them the freedom to become complete and settled in their individual ministries and we will move

on to new opportunities of church planting. I firmly believe that the Dyer Baptist Association should be

intimately and personally involved in church planting on the local, national and international levels. With

that prayerful goal in mind, it is my hope that we will continue to work together to plant healthy

congregations of faith wherever God may lead us.

―Thank You!‖ for allowing me to serve you as your associational missionary!

Bro Joe

PS. Have you checked our website, lately? www.dyerbaptistassociation.com

“The mission of the Dyer Baptist Association is to resource the Southern Baptist churches of

Northwest Tennessee to reach those without Jesus Christ, to care for the hurting, and to exhibit a loving relationship with the Lord until He returns.”

Disaster Relief

As Paul would have said, ―I thank my God of every remembrance of you‖. It is during our time of

trials and tribulations we understand the importance and blessings of being a part of an association of

churches.

Thank you for your physical and financial help, and your many prayers!

This past year over 100 homes were damaged or destroyed by the flood waters of the Mississippi

River. And in that time of need, Dyer Baptist Association provided food and water for over 1200 meals.

Your Dyer Baptist Shower Trailer was used a total of four weeks at Finley Baptist Church, hosting a number

of church teams. You also helped to provide building materials and workers to tear out and begin rebuilding

houses. Some homes were torn back to the foundation or bare walls.

Work teams came from many of our churches, as well as other TBC churches. Families were

thankful and excited to see help unload from buses, vans and trucks.

As the weeks passed, we realized we were not just rebuilding houses but homes. Not just putting

buildings back together, we were putting families back together. We have seen decisions made that have

changed lives. So again, thank you Bro. Joe and all the churches of Dyer Baptist Association.

Charles Halliburton

Blessed to be Pastor of Finley Baptist Church.

There is still work to be done. If your church wishes to help please call 676-7498.

Evangelism Report to the Dyer Baptist Association

Everywhere we turn these days, the order of the day is CHANGE. Everyone is talking about change

– and change we are having. But there is one place where we are having change that is both heart-breaking

and frightening. That change is in the DECREASE IN BAPTISMS all across our convention for the past few

years. In 2010, total baptisms for the churches of our Southern Baptist Convention were 332,321. That is

the lowest number of baptisms in one year that we have had since the early 1950s. Ladies and gentlemen, we

are no longer a convention that really cares about the eternal destiny of people without Christ. That is

reflected in the fact that we have seen DECLINE in almost every area of church life for the past four years.

In our convention, there is reported that we have 16,250,000 members (half of which the FBC can‘t

find). But, using that figure, we are baptizing one person for every 49 church members across the SBC.

That should make all of us ashamed and disturbed.

Our own Dyer Baptist Association churches, according to the 2010 records, baptized one person for

every 47 church members. According to the listed income of our Dyer Baptist Association churches, we

baptized one person for every $240,000 of our tithes and offerings. Business people would immediately say,

―That‘s a bad investment.‖ Wonder what God thinks about that?

There are some circumstances on the level of our Tennessee Baptist Convention that are heartening,

to say the least. Our Executive Director, Dr. Randy Davis, has a burning heart for reaching people. We can

expect to hear him continually encourage us to reach people for Jesus. Also, the addition of Dr. Bobby

Welch to our staff as Associate Executive Director in charge of Evangelism, Discipleship and Church

Growth is, so far as I‘m concerned, a God send. All of us will be hearing a great deal from these men, and

others, about their availability to help us reach many more people for Jesus across our great state of

Tennessee.

In my personal opinion, there was never a more crucial time in our association and convention to

follow the directives of II Chronicles 7:14 which states: ―If My people who are called by My name will

humble themselves and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from

heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.‖

Jail Ministry Annual Report

GOD continues to work in a powerful way through HIS servants at the Dyer County Jail. Nearly

every week volunteers report leading inmates to the LORD, and countless more pray for repentance and

recommitment. While records are not kept on new converts to JESUS CHRIST a conservative estimate

would exceed 200 over the past year.

About 500 Bibles are distributed during the year as well as numerous Bible studies such as The

Journey Study (by Billy Graham), Beginning Steps, Be Transformed, Purpose Driven Life, Celebrate

Recovery, and more.

Over 35 Christian volunteers come to the Dyer County Jail to minister throughout the week,

conducting 40 programs across 10 residential pods.

The Dyer Baptist Association is represented, at the Dyer County Jail, by 19 volunteers from five

association Churches. Volunteers come from First Baptist – Dyersburg, Mt. Vernon, Three Oaks, Harvest,

and First Baptist – Trimble.

Brother Jerrell Dawson, Interim Pastor, Beech Grove Baptist, takes the Word into the Lauderdale

County Jail.

The Jail Ministry Team appreciates the Association support and strives to represent you in a

CHRIST-like fashion.

Respectfully Submitted,

Paul Forester

Prayer Ministry Report

Matthew 9:35-38: Then Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues,

preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. But

when He saw the multitudes, He was moved with compassion for them, because they were weary and

scattered, like sheep having no shepherd. Then He said to His disciples, ―The harvest truly is plentiful, but

the laborers are few. Therefore pray the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into His harvest.‖

Truly, the fields of Dyer County are white unto harvest. As the above Scripture states, He saw the

multitudes and had compassion on them because they were scattered as sheep without a shepherd. Then He

said to His disciples, ―The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few. PRAY YE THE LORD OF

THE HARVEST that He will send forth laborers into His harvest.‖

We believers are called to seek and to pray for the lost that they might be saved. We are to be faithful

in the field where He has called us to serve. Whether it be pastors, evangelists, staff members, teachers, or

lay persons – we are all to seek the lost for their salvation.

We are grateful to have the living Word of God to reveal o us the Creator of the universe and to

unveil to use His eternal plan in redeeming humanity. We are so blessed to have copies of Scripture in our

own language. Read the Word, pray the Word, and then share it with others. God‘s Word is out anchor in the

midst of the storms. The Scripture was once a vital part of our national culture, but a number of factors have

forced it to the sideline. Ask God to restore His Word to the rightful place of respect and honor in our

churches and in our society.

Did you know as many as three out of four people in North America have no personal relationship

with Jesus Christ? We believe the scriptures have provided a simple roadmap to change. With every believer

sharing, every person could have an opportunity to hear and to respond to the gospel. The challenge is to all

of us to pray and share Christ with those around us. Pray also for all out missionaries.

Thursday, November 3rd

is the National Day of Prayer. Let‘s ask God to draw many believers to

their knees to pray for our government and for our sagging economy. Pray also for a great ―rain of revival‖

here in our community as well as in our entire land. Pray that He will give all who participate a sense of joy

in His presence as the Holy Spirit moves.

This brings me to the subject of SEE YOU AT THE POLE. On Thursday night and Wednesday

morning, October 28 & 29, there was prayer for our schools, staff, teachers, leaders, students, and parents.

Parents were praying for safety and protection for their children. I trust many of you participated in that

event. The theme for the SEE YOU AT THE POLE this year was COVERAGE. (Matthew 18:20: For where

two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.)

Even in times like these, the Great commission remains the same. That commission is found in

Matthew 28: 19-20. Pray for a people to commit to share Christ in their neighborhood. Pray for God‘s eyes to

show us the ripe harvest fields. Pray that even in times like these, all of us will have a heart for ministry to all

people – strangers, prisoners, sick, naked, or hungry. Pray that we will be a beacon of light in this world.

Pray that God will strengthen our faith so that we can accomplish the work He has planned for each of us to

do. Pray that the power of the Holy Spirit will give us boldness to witness to family, friends, and neighbors.

That‘s where GPS comes into to play. GPS (God‘s Plan for Sharing) is a national evangelism

initiative. This plan desires to see every believer sharing the gospel with the result being that ever person

hears the Gospel. GPS stands upon four biblical mileposts. *Praying: Every church praying for lost people.

*Equipping: Every believer sharing as a trained witness. *Sowing: Every lost person receiving a witness.

*Harvesting: Every church harvesting and celebrating every salvation response.

Women’s Ministry

It has been another wonderful year for the Dyer Baptist Association Women‘s Ministry. As we start our 8th

year of service, we would like to tell and remind you what we are about.

We are a ministry of women that are led by the Lord to give help and service to those in our communities,

our churches, our city and across Tennessee, wherever the need may be. We all have special gifts and talents

that can be shared with other women, children, and families.

When we think of what we have accomplished this year, we know there is more that can be done. We were

able to, with the generous help of our associational churches, to once again help the children and families in

the Copper Basin of East Tennessee with Christmas and 80 local children and families through our Christmas

Adopt-A-Child program. In May we held a Spaghetti Fundraiser with the funds being used for our women‘s

conference. We, again, were given the opportunity to help the BCM with their Annual Fish Fry. We held

our 2nd

Annual Pastor‘s Wives Appreciation Day with the theme, ―Christmas in August‖, learning more

about one another, decorating tricks, massages, plus good food and fellowship. In the summer, some of us

were taught how to make purses (this is definitely a woman‘s thing) out of plastic bags. In September, we

had our 4th Women‘s Conference featuring Mrs. Jennifer Key as our keynote speaker. With the recipes from

our church families we were able to publish our 2nd

cookbook, Food From the Heart, available for only $10

each.

We are always looking for ministry opportunities. Please contact us through the Dyer Baptist Association if

there is a need. We already have lots of projects being formed and we are looking forward to those in the

upcoming year.

God is an awesome power and as we allow Him to accomplish great things through us. We need to just

come together, plan, and let Him take control. Our meetings are the 2nd

Monday of the month at 6pm. We

invite women to join our ministry to share their ideas of how we best can help more people. Please check

www.dyerbaptistassociation.com for update information or call the association office.

God Has Blessed Us All
