Edisto Baptist Association

Sunday, October 22, 2017

at

Pleasant Hill Baptist Church

150 Hi-Cotton Lane

Springfield, South Carolina 29146-9308

Declaration of Faith Whereas it is necessary for a mutual understanding of the churches in this body, or

the satisfaction of the Association with which we may correspond and for general

information of those who may desire to know something of us, that there should be

some general principles laid down by which it may be known upon what grounds

we are associated; We, therefore, the Edisto Baptist Association, do declare the

following views of the Gospel upon which we are united.

1. We believe that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testament

are the revelation of God's will to man, constitute the

obligatory rules for man, in all his revelation, as a creature and

a member of society.

2. We believe that the Scriptures reveal the existence of one

living and true God; subsisting in three distinct persons, known

by the names Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and that these are

one in essence possessing equal attributes.

3. We believe that God, who made all things, created man upright

but he has sought many inventions; that all have sinned and

come short of the glory of God; and that by the works of the

law shall no flesh be justified before God.

4. We believe that God so loved the world that He gave His only

begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not

perish, but have eternal life.

5. We believe that Jesus Christ, the eternal only begotten Son of

God, was made flesh; that He was born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered, bled, and died and was buried, rose again, and is now

at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for His

people, and will come again a second time without an offering

unto salvation.

6. We believe that Jesus Christ, in His perfect work magnified

and made honorable the divine laws; is the end of the law of

righteousness to everyone that believeth in Jesus; and that

whosoever will may come and take of the water of life freely.

EBA DISASTER RELIEF REPORT Rev. Own McAlister, Director

Sue Harmon, South Carolina Baptist Convention Disaster Relief Director, recently traveled with

the state Disaster Assessment Team to Houston, Texas. Since that time we have deployed food

units on two-week intervals, and we will continue until units are no longer needed. The Mud-Out

units are on standby. At least one Chaplain is assigned to any disaster unit.

Chain Saw units have been deployed to Florida.

In the near future, there will be long-term unit needs in Puerto Rico and Caribbean islands. The

most pressing need at this time is financial assistance for basic living supplies.

You may contact Sue Harmon’s office in the SC Baptist building for more details.

Please consider taking advantage of Disaster Training offered by our state convention.

Pray for all the victims of Harvie, Irma, and Las Vegas shooting.

RESOLUTIONS COMMITTEE REPORT Rev. Gareth Hegler, Chairperson

Resolution #1

Appreciation

WHEREAS, we, the messengers to the One Hundred Eighty First Annual Meeting of the Edisto

Baptist Association (EBA) at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Springfield, South Carolina on

Sunday, October 22, 2017 have been received with enthusiastic affection, encouraged and

challenged in ministry,

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that we express our appreciation to the members and pastor of

Pleasant Hill Baptist Church, Springfield, and to all groups and individuals who helped facilitate

this meeting; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that we express our appreciation to the EBA officers, various

committees, groups, musicians, singers, and speakers for their motivational leadership before us;

and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that we offer sincere thanks to our Heavenly Father for the

opportunity to commit our time, resources, and talents to sharing the story of our Lord and Savior

Jesus Christ. To Him be the glory now and forever.

Resolution #2

Reaching Unreached People Groups and Places

WHEREAS, we, the messengers to the One Hundred Eighty First Annual Meeting of the Edisto

Baptist Association (EBA) at Pleasant Hill Baptist Church in Springfield, South Carolina on

October 22, 2017 recognize that an unreached people group is a language group where fewer than

2% of the population are evangelized with the gospel of Jesus Christ and where there is not an

active church planting strategy among them; and

WHEREAS, we further understand that unreached people groups exist in the Edisto Baptist

Association area, in South Carolina and North America, as well as internationally; and

WHEREAS, Jesus' last words in Matthew 28:18-20 were that every believer should be going and

making disciples of all nations, teaching them to obey all He has commanded us, with the promise

that He will be with us to the end of the age;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that each EBA church identify who in its community speaks a

different language or comes from another country, make an introduction, and befriend these

individuals; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOVED, that each EBA church provide missions education so that

members can learn about unreached people groups and can be equipped to take mission trips

where many unreached people groups live; and

BE IT FINALLY RESOLVED, that every EBA church will be encouraged to contact the SCBC

Missions Mobilization Team during the next year to learn how local churches can accomplish the

Great Commission by sending prepared workers and teams to unreached peoples and places from

South Carolina to the ends of the earth.

DISCIPLESHIP REPORT Dr. Debbie Bass, Director

Discipleship includes Bible Drill, Discipleship Rally and Speaker’s Tournament. Several churches

are using Bible Drill format and/or materials. Its design is to equip children with key passages, the

verses, and books of the Bible. The drill is for grades 4, 5, 6; however, materials are available for

grades 1, 2, 3; youth, high school; and adult. To participate in the state drill, the church, then the

association must host a drill. Our goal is to work toward church participation and eventually have

an annual association drill.

Another Discipleship area is a Discipleship Rally and Speaker’s Tournament. For the past few

years, we have encouraged use of the BGEA MY HOPE format. My Hope is a national initiative to

encourage and prepare the local church and Christians to share the Gospel message with friends,

family, colleagues, and neighbors in their church service area. The DVD is free and includes

testimonies from celebrities and worship messages. The DVDs and materials are available online

(https://myhopewithbillygraham.org/get-started) and include a prayer guide, poster, bulletin

insert, banner, and Bible study follow-up booklet (Living in Christ).

Newsletter The first EBA quarterly newsletter was published February 2016. Distribution of the quarterly

publication is by email to member churches and the newsletter is available on the EBA website.

The publication date follows each executive meeting (February, May, August, October) and

includes information submitted by churches and departments of work, committees, and/or officers.

News for inclusion in each newsletters is submitted by the church, committee chairman or other

designated representative through email [email protected]. The newsletter provides an

additional communications tool for member churches to stay connected with the current events at

other churches, as well as updates from EBA officers, departments of work and committees.

Website (EdistoBaptistAssociation.org) The EBA website is in its fourth year. Since its launch in 2013, it has accumulated almost 28,000

views. The website provides a look at the EBA and its work. Updates are made as needed with

information from member churches submitted through the website (edistobaptistassociation.org) or

through email at [email protected]

Both these tools of communication, the newsletter and website, serve to connect all EBA churches

and EBA officers or departments of works. Each church, as well as departments and committees

are encouraged to provide news, information and current events for publication in the newsletter

and on the website in our efforts to stay connected electronically

Christian Education/Collegiate Ministries: Information about the Baptist-sponsored SC Colleges

appears separately in this annual report. Offered at these and other SC colleges is an opportunity

for college students to become involved in and stay included in Christian activities through SC

Collegiate Ministries. The SCBCM coordinates missions and outreach with 40 SC college

campuses (http://www.scbaptist.org/collegiate-ministry/).

Scholarship and other resource information are accessible from the EBA website. Not only can

churches plan and pray for their college students while they are away from home, but also churches

can connect students with the support of campus ministries while away from their home church to

attend college.

At the local K-12 school level, a program to coordinate with and pray for local schools is available

to all interested churches through Heart4Schools. The SCBC offers a workshop and guidance for

interested churches. Links to resources and information are on the EBA website.

EXECUTIVE BOARD REPORT, 2017

Gary Hollingsworth Executive Director/Treasurer

South Carolina Baptist Convention

It is hard to believe that two years will soon have passed since becoming a part of the South

Carolina Baptist Convention family! What a joy it continues to be to connect with so many

wonderful South Carolina Baptist people, churches and ministries. A lot has happened in these

nearly two years and it is exciting to anticipate future ministry opportunities in our state, nation and

world. You will read specific ministry reports of many of the wonderful things God is doing so

please take time to read each report. As you do, whisper a prayer for more lost people to come to

Christ and more saved people to grow deeper in their walk with Jesus in the days ahead.

Reports normally look back in terms of what has been done. Most of the reports you will read are

indeed a reporting of the activity of God over the past year. Reports also inform us so we will be

better prepared for the future. As we look toward the future, our VISION is clear: Every life

saturated and transformed by the hope of the Gospel, beginning in South Carolina. Our MISSION

is set: Utilizing the essential catalysts of prayer and leadership our Mission is to help churches in

South Carolina multiply disciples to SHARE HOPE, STRENGTHEN CHURCHES, START

CHURCHES AND SEND MISSIONARIES. Our purpose is focused: To help churches fulfill the

Great Commission. I and our entire team pledge, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, to

everything possible to help see our Vision, Mission and Purpose fulfilled!

In addition to the ministry reports, you will also see current trends in Cooperative Program giving.

These trends are proving to be fairly consistent nationally, but by the grace of God, we are praying

and asking God for an upward rise in days to come. Resources always follow vision, so that is why

we are staying tenaciously tethered to our Vision, Mission and Purpose. Every strategic decision,

especially those dealing with personnel and budget matters, is bathed in prayer and after seeking

the wise counsel of our Executive Board members and other key leaders. Until we see a rising

trend in CP giving, we will be the very best stewards of the dollars our churches send through the

Cooperative Program and make sure we operate in the black. Our sterling audit reports are a tribute

to our competent staff and the leadership of our Executive Board members.

God had clearly given me five words that have helped me frame much of the work that I and our

team seek to do through the SCBC. They are:

RELATIONSHIPS—In traveling around the state, I hear this word more than any other. I want

every one of our 2,100 plus churches to feel like they have a relationship with the SCBC in some

meaningful way.

RESOURCES—It is unlikely the SCBC will be able to ever produce all the resources necessary to

serve all our churches, but our team can and should be “resident experts” in knowing about the

various ministry resources that are biblically sound, financially affordable, culturally relevant and

practically implementable.

RESEARCH—It is reasonable to expect denominational entities to provide accurate and timely

data to help church leaders be aware of opportunities and challenges in doing ministry today. We

are working hard to be better prepared in this area.

RELEVANT—There was once a day when Southern Baptists were fairly monolithic but such is

not the case today. I heard someone say recently that there are over 60 identifiable groups in the

larger SBC family! My desire is to equip and lead our team to be able to find ways to assist as

many churches as possible in order to help them all advance the Great Commission.

RESPONSIVE—We are blessed to have Godly men and women serving on our SCBC team, but

we also recognize the challenge of a small team trying to serve such a large number of churches.

Our promise is to be responsive when any of our churches need assistance. The things we can do,

we will do and the things we cannot do, we will do our best to help find someone who can help

with their particular need.

If there is one statistic that troubles me most, it is the declining number of baptisms, not just in our

state but around our nation. Everything, and I do mean EVERY THING, we do, is done with the

intention of either seeing a lost person come to Christ or a saved person grow deeper in their

commitment to Christ. That is what Jesus did when he said to His first disciples, “Follow Me and I

will make you fishers of men.” Let’s pray and work and give and trust God that we will see the

next great Spiritual Awakening come soon. It must begin somewhere, so why not here in South

Carolina?!

ASSOCIATE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR | CHIEF STRATEGIST REPORT Dr. Mark Aderholt

Simply put, our passion and purpose is helping churches fulfill the Great Commission. We focus

on four priorities: evangelism, missions mobilization, church planting, and church strengthening

and discipleship. So how do all of these facets fit together in one focused, unified strategy?

ADVANCE

Churches who fulfill the Great Commission

advance the Kingdom by focusing on a

continuous cycle of serving needs, sharing

hope, sending workers, and starting new work.

Around the state and around the world, we are

surrounded by lostness. Spurgeon reminds us

that “the whole business of the whole church is

to take the whole Gospel to the whole world.”

Social programs, political ideologies and

goodwill organizations are not the answer. The

church – the bride of Christ – is the only

institution ordained and empowered by the

Holy Spirit to bring about societal

transformation. This is why churches are at the

hub of the “advance wheel.”

Our Church Strengthening and Discipleship Team, led by Steve Rohrlack, offers relationships,

ideas, opportunities, and tools to help churches all across our state develop strong disciple-making

cultures inside the walls of the church in order to better fulfill the Great Commission outside the

walls. How can a church know if they are making progress in Kingdom advance? How can a

church know which areas are succeeding in Great Commission fulfillment? The Lord blesses them

with four visible results.

KEY RESULT AREAS

1. New Connections. As a church makes disciples who serve their communities, the Lord

blesses that church with new connections. In turn, these lead to real relationships through

which the Gospel message can be shared and lived out with no strings attached. Our

Missions Mobilization and Evangelism Teams partner together to offer relationships, ideas,

opportunities, and tools to help churches all across our state love their neighbor by actively

serving their needs and adding value to their communities.

2. New Creations. As a church makes disciples who share hope through the lens of real

relationships, the Lord blesses that church with new creations. People from our

communities, who are hearing and seeing the Gospel come to life through the lens of a

relationship with a Jesus-follower, begin turning from their sin and embracing a new life

and identity in Jesus. This is where their journey actually begins! Our Evangelism Team,

led by Lee Clamp, offers relationships, ideas, opportunities, and tools to help churches all

across our state lead their neighbors to Christ and disciple them in a life-on-life fashion

into fully-devoted followers.

3. New Co-Workers. As a church sacrifices and sends these disciples out to serve and share

with others, the Lord blesses that church (and the Kingdom) with new co-workers. Our

Missions Mobilization Team, led by Tim Rice, offers relationships, ideas, opportunities,

and tools to help create sending cultures in churches all across our state. In so doing, these

churches place an unmitigated focus on enlisting, equipping, and sending their members

into the harvest fields to engage unreached pockets in their communities, unreached places

across the state, and unreached peoples across the planet.

4. New Congregations. As a church commissions new co-workers to start new work among

unreached peoples and places, the Lord blesses that church (and the Kingdom) with new

congregations. These new churches, planted with the DNA of solid theology, cooperative

relationships, and sacrificial giving add immediate value to their environments by meeting

real needs in their communities. In so doing, they advance the Kingdom by continuing the

cycle of serving others, sharing Hope, sending workers, and starting new work themselves!

Our Church Planting Team, led by Jay Hardwick, offers relationships, ideas, opportunities,

and tools to help churches make their next move in developing leaders, starting, and re-

starting churches all across the Palmetto State.

What exactly is Advance? In partnership with our associational and ministry partners, our teams

encourage churches to “make their next move” in Great Commission fulfillment by helping them:

Assess the status of their Great Commission culture

Identify barriers to serving others, sharing hope, sending workers and starting new work

Develop concrete action plans for advancing to the next level

Our teams partner with churches by offering relationships, ideas, opportunities, and tools to

accelerate their progress. As we advance by faith, we are trusting the Lord to utilize South Carolina

Baptists to saturate every man, woman, and child in the Palmetto State with the hope of the Gospel.

With more than two billion people across the planet with little to no Gospel access, the time for

advance is now.

Until All Have Heard,

Dr. Mark Aderholt

Associate Executive Director | Chief

Strategist South Carolina Baptist Convention

For God and humanity, Anderson University seeks to be an innovative, entrepreneurial, premier

comprehensive university where liberal arts, professional studies, and graduate studies thrive

within an uplifting, welcoming, and distinctively Christian community of diverse faculty, staff and

students dedicated to intellectually rigorous learning, a caring and hospitable campus culture, and

personal transformation.

Highlights 2017

Record enrollment continues at AU, as the university will eclipse the 3,500 mark for the

first time this fall. Besides being the biggest freshman class ever (704), this is also the most

academically prepared class with an average SAT score higher than 1150.

Anderson University maintains a high position in the U.S. News & World Report ranking,

as a “Top Tier” Regional University in the South. U.S. News & World Report also lists

AU as a “Best Value School” among regional universities in the South.

The Princeton Review included Anderson on a list of best colleges and universities as one

of the “Best in the Southeast.”

Anderson University hosted a record 6,000 guests for Palmetto Boys State and Crossroads

Summer Camps. More than 500 high school and junior high students made professions of

faith and an additional 500 students made decisions to pursue leadership in ministry during

Clayton King’s Crossroads Summer camps.

The College of Health Professions is seeking accreditation of our three-year doctoral

program in our School of Physical Therapy, which is poised to be the first Physical

Therapy program in the upstate of South Carolina. The development of 9,000 square feet

of space for our School of Physical Therapy and our School of Nursing’s graduate

programs has been completed. The renovated space is equipped with the following:

nursing lab, office space, meeting facility, student lounge, two physical therapy labs,

research labs and a locker room.

Our students are enjoying the recently completed 90,000-square-foot G. Ross Anderson

Student Center. The facility includes a new dining hall, a 400-seat multi-purpose theater, a

banquet hall, bookstore, student activities offices, a fitness center, and retail dining kiosks

such as Chick-Fil-A express and Einstein Bros. Bagels.

Anderson University was recognized as an Apple Distinguished School for the second

consecutive time for the excellence of its Mobile Learning Initiative, which features the

use of iPads in specially designed classes on campus. Only 400 schools (K-12 through

graduate schools) in the world have been selected for this distinction.

Anderson was named one of “America’s 100 Best College Buys” for the 11th consecutive

year as well as one of “America’s Best Christian Colleges.”

Anderson University has obtained Preaching magazine and YouthWorker journal and will

continue publication of these two long-established print publications for ministry leaders.

Prayer Requests

Please join us in praying for the health and safety of our students during this academic year.

We ask that you pray that we will continue to have the freedom to be faithful to our mission of

being a truly Christian academic community in the face of governmental pressure on us, and all

Christian colleges, to bend to the increasingly secular culture.

Join us in praying that our students’ lives will be changed and that they will change the world they

touch when they leave us.

NORTH GREENVILLE UNIVERSITY Gene C. Fant, Jr., Ph.D., President

On June 1, 2017, Dr. Gene C. Fant, Jr., began serving as North Greenville University’s eighth

president, following a unanimous recommendation from the Board of Trustees. Dr. Fant has a long

record of serving Baptist colleges and universities as an academic leader, including service as the

chief academic officer at Union University and Palm Beach Atlantic University. A lifelong

Southern Baptist, Fant is the son, grandson, and nephew of pastors and grew up on the home

mission field in upstate New York, where his father planted nine churches in seven years. While

his earned doctorate is in literature, he also completed a Master of Divinity in biblical languages

from the New Orleans Baptist Theological Seminary and has preached in churches across the

southeast. A prolific writer, Dr. Fant has written or contributed to over a dozen books on wide-

ranging subjects, including church history, apologetics, theology, and poetry. His book “God as

Author: Toward a Biblical Approach to Narrative” (B & H Academic 2010) is used widely in

English and apologetics courses and his most recent book, “The Liberal Arts: A Student’s Guide”

(Crossway 2012) has been adopted in many Christian colleges as a foundational text for

intellectual discipleship. He and his wife Lisa have been married for 28 years and have adult twin

children, Ethan and Emily.

Despite humble beginnings, North Greenville University has developed to become one of the

MORE notable Christian universities in the Southeast and the nation. North Greenville — now a

university that features more than 40 undergraduate, graduate, and online degree options and

reaches students from all over the world — continues to offer a quality, Christ-centered liberal arts

education. The university also continues to receive national recognition every year. For example,

Forbes and US News & World Report have named NGU one of America's top colleges and best

Christian colleges. And BestColleges.com and ChristianUniversitiesOnline.org consistently

include NGU in its list of colleges with the best professors and value.

A few other important rankings for the university include the following:

o Mission Serve (BSU) took 25 students to work with refugees in Clarkston, GA. These

students worked with people from around the work ministering through evangelism and

a free thrift store for single mothers. Students shared the gospel with Muslims, Hindus,

and individuals from other religions.

o 26 NGU students attended the SCBC Collegiate Conference called Converge. There

were close to 1,000 students from across SC there.

o Community Impact Teams served local churches and ministries in nine locations

throughout the academic year.

We begin the academic year in August with an Ignite conference for all new and returning

students within the first week of classes. Clayton King will be speaking at the conference,

August 23-25, 2017. This conference sets the stage for much of what the Lord wants to do

on campus through the lives of our students.

Our annual Global Engagement Conference is September 11-13 focusing on church planting

and ministry through the Metro New York Baptist Association.

During the 2017-2018 academic year, NGU will celebrate its 125th anniversary as an institution.

This includes a renewed focus on its mission and its educational programs. The university

continues in its commitment to producing transformational leaders for churches and society along

with its commitments to missions, discipleship, and evangelism.

Prayer Requests

THE COURIER INFORMING AND INSIRING SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST

2017 Executive Board Report

Our motto at The Courier is “informing and inspiring South Carolina Baptists.” We do this

primarily by telling the stories of those who are telling THE story. Our goal is to glorify Christ

Jesus with the good works that He has given us to do.

Throughout our existence, The Courier has been the news journal of the South Carolina

Baptist Convention. Today, we offer a full-color, monthly feature magazine that is read by

approximately 80,000 readers, an online presence that offers an e-edition of the magazine, and an

up-to-date webpage. We receive over 32,000 page views per month through our online offerings.

Our goal is to produce a top-quality, professionally done magazine that honors our Savior.

This past year, we received five awards from the South Carolina Press Association for our

magazine in the associate member/individual category. Managing editor Butch Blume received two

first place awards and one third place award for writing, and guest writer Wendy Duke received a

top award for a first-person editorial. Our magazine took top honors for the second consecutive

year.

Even though Courier Publishing, our book publishing arm, is just a few years old, we have

already published 37 books and will be releasing eight more later this year and early in 2018. God

continues to bless this ministry, and we hear reports of many people who have been blessed

through these books.

Our donor base, Friends of The Courier, continues to provide needed assistance yearly for the

ongoing financial needs of our total ministry. We are grateful for the Cooperative Program dollars

we receive from the South Carolina Baptist Convention.

We want to encourage our churches to subscribe to The Courier. A family plan is available to

churches that subscribe for all their active members at less than one dollar per month for each

family.

In an age of fake news and unreliable information from much of the internet, we strive to be

godly, honest and accurate in everything we do — especially telling the stories of those who are

telling THE story.

BAPTIST FOUNDATION OF SOUTH CAROLINA 2017 MINISTRY REPORT

The Baptist Foundation of South Carolina provides services to financially undergird ministries

today and tomorrow…

1) Legacy giving services – we provide educational programs and resources to promote and

encourage estate and planned gifts for the benefit of South Carolina Baptist churches and

ministries.

2) Endowment promotion and management services – we assist churches and ministries

with development of endowment legacy programs and manage endowment funds for the

benefit of Baptist ministries in accordance with applicable laws.

3) Account management services for churches and ministries – we offer low cost,

competitive investment funds to provide solid returns to help ministries grow financially.

4) Fundraising services – we provide campaign stewardship services through Reveal God’s

Plan, a program to assist churches in raising funds for capital and other needs.

God has used this ministry throughout its history to provide much needed resources for Baptist

causes throughout our state and world. Today, the Foundation manages over $137 million in assets,

the majority of which are for Baptist causes other than the Foundation. Since our inception in

1950, the Foundation has distributed over $73 million to primarily South Carolina Baptist

ministries through endowed and other gifts.

Major accomplishments during the 2016/2017 fiscal year are highlighted below:

In accordance with GCR initiatives, the Foundation now operates with no Cooperative

Program funding (effective 2016).

The Foundation’s primary ministry function is to provide services to assist individuals in

developing their Christian legacy plans for the glory of God. The Foundation works with

churches to provide assistance in developing legacy ministries and educating congregations

about legacy planning.

Through our relationship with PhilanthroCorp, a Christian estate planning service,

individuals who desire to leave a portion of their estates to Baptist ministries can obtain

customized estate plans. To date, anticipated future gifts of over $53 million for primarily

Baptist charities have been identified.

Distributed over $3.8 million to primarily Baptist ministries as of fiscal year end

(3/31/2017) through endowment and investment income, the fourth consecutive year of

distributions over $3 million.

Awarded 26 grants totaling $78,300 for evangelistic projects. Since the inception of our

grant program in 2003, a total of almost $850,000 has been awarded.

Awarded over $10,500 in endowed scholarships (directly to students from Foundation

endowments) and an additional $12,000 in “Trustee Scholarships” (funds contributed by

our trustees and staff) to students preparing for full-time Christian service at each of our

Baptist universities.

Visited with 73 pastors in 2016 to conduct ministry needs surveys to assess how the

Foundation can better serve their churches. Conducted an additional 81 surveys through

July 31 of 2017.

Provided capital campaign services for one church earlier this year with several potential

campaigns to begin in the coming months.

Continued to streamline operations as well as enhance our visibility through personal

contacts and various media forms (print/online/social).

The Foundation will be undergoing a leadership change with the retirement of Barry B.

Edwards as President/CEO. Barry has served the Foundation well since 2010 through his

enthusiasm, motivation, and strong leadership. Nathan R. McCarthy, former Baptist Foundation of

Alabama Senior Investment Officer, has been called to serve as the new Baptist Foundation of

South Carolina President/CEO. Nathan joins us with solid Foundation experience and a passion for

this ministry. We are excitedly anticipating his leadership.

Legacy planning will continue to be the primary focus in the future. Our goal is to encourage

and develop Christians to be legacy stewards for the glory of God. We will seek ways to enhance

education and increase awareness of legacy planning by utilizing innovation and technology. Our

goal is to provide resources for churches to implement legacy programs, to increase outright and

endowment giving for all SC Baptist ministry causes, to increase funding sources for grant

programs and scholarships, to continue to strengthen and promote our high-quality investment

services for South Carolina Baptist ministries, and to assist more churches in raising funds for

capital needs.

SOUTH CAROLINA BAPTIST MINISTRIES FOR THE AGING, INC. Tom Turner, President

“Be the change that you wish to see in the world.” ― Mahatma Gandhi

As you meander over the rolling hills at Martha Franks Retirement Community or stroll the

pastoral setting at Bethea Retirement community, one thing is very evident. Retirement living is

not what it used to be. Our residents come to our communities to LIVE and to SERVE. Whether

it's exercising in the pool at Bethea, leading Bible Studies in the community, reaching out to the

children at Connie Maxwell, walking the paths at Martha Franks, leading devotionals, visiting

friends or manning the Billy Graham Call Center, our residents are staying active, serving others

and changing the world.

SCBMA takes pride in knowing that we provide a safe place for many seniors and their families to

celebrate life. And we take pride in knowing that we have made the changes that are necessary to

provide abundant living opportunities for all our seniors.

Our Trustees recognize that there will be many issues to manage in the years ahead - a growing

senior population, maintaining a capable and caring workforce, and keeping our communities

updated in a competitive and quickly growing retirement community industry.

This past year, God has enabled the South Carolina Baptist Ministry of Aging (SCBMA) to have

many remarkable accomplishments through our ministry and the two retirement communities:

HopeHealth at Bethea, a new initiative for onsite health care for residents and staff, was

launched on June 4. The initiative will expand to the local community within the coming

year.

Newly created Home Care services for Martha Franks’ residents as well as the greater

Laurens County community.

Expanded statewide marketing to pastors, churches and potential residents.

Modernized our website and continue to assertively promote the ministry across the world

wide web.

Martha Franks' residents and staff members continue to serve a call center following the

Billy Graham televised crusades (twice monthly). Since May 2013, there have been 1965

total calls with 540 salvations, 162 rededications, and 173 assurances.

SCBMA's Trustees and staff count it an honor to serve the cherished senior adults of our state.

With an over 55 year heritage, our faith and confidence remains in the Lord and is the defining

difference at SCBMA. With God's continued grace and in cooperation with SC Baptist Churches,

we will always strive to pursue improved avenues to serve seniors while staying true to our

mission, vision and values.

Please pray for God’s blessing upon this ministry and the future generations we will serve.

2016 – 2017 EBA WMU ANNUAL REPORT Jan Hegler, Director

The Edisto Baptist Association WMU started the year with church training at Berlin Baptist

Church in September. We encouraged Janie Chapman State Offering giving to all the churches.

In November our “We are Here for You” project was to give away gently used children’s clothes.

We did this in Wagener and Springfield. At this event, we had the opportunity to give away Bibles

to a Muslim family. At the end of November we collected 630 Christmas prisoner packets.

A pastor and wives appreciation Christmas dinner was given by the EBA WMU. The theme was

“Ugly Christmas Sweater.” We found out that we had some very entertaining pastors. Lottie Moon

Christmas Offering was promoted this month.

In March some of us attended the SCWMU Spring Meeting in Boiling Springs, SC.

The EBA WMU Spring meeting was in April at Rocky Grove Baptist Church. A missionary from

the Ukraine and Becka Moore from SCWMU were our guest speakers. The 2017 – 2018 officers

were elected and are as follows:

Director -------------------------------- Jan Hegler

Assistant Director -------------------- Margaret Ann Barr

WOM/AOM/MyM ------------------- Michelle Bledsoe

GA’s/CA ------------------------------- Krystal Roe

Mission Friends ----------------------- Jennifer Smith

In May we collected over 600 Hygiene Kits that were taken to several mission projects.

We ended the church year with a Mission Fest held at Bethcar Baptist Church. The theme was

“The team Jesus Built.” Four missionaries spoke and led breakouts. There was training for our

church teams. Our mission project was cutting out patterns for the Little Angel Ministry.

We had a good year and are praying for a great New Year.

EBA VBS ANNUAL REPORT Jan Hegler, Director

This summer our churches were "Galactic Starveyors” facilitators as we searched for truths about

God and the universe.

Three Churches reported their attendance with 311 enrolled.

It has been my joy to serve as EBA VBS Director for the last 11 years. In order for me to spend

more time in WMU and Mission (which God had lain on my heart to do), I have declined serving

for the upcoming year. My prayer is that you will use VBS as an outreach tool for your church and

community.

God bless each of you.

During the 2016- 2017 church year, and of those churches reporting by way of the Annual

Church Profile, Thirty-Two (32) of our brothers and sisters in Christ have gone on to be with

the Lord. While we sorrow for our Christian friends who have departed this life, we do not

sorrow as others who have no hope, for we know the wonderful truth that for believers in Christ,

to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord. We thank God for Christ-honoring

lives on this earth and look forward to a great reunion one day in the presence of our Lord.

“Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let

Edisto Baptist Association

"About the year 1834, some of our brethren agreed to form a new association. They called a Convention that met at Rocky Springs, about March 1835 and agreed to meet at Tabernacle Church next fall, to organize the Association. As we have no minutes of the Convention we can say but little, and that from memory. Fifteen churches were represented at Tabernacle and organized the Edisto Baptist Association as follows: Walter Pond, Rocky Grove, Tabernacle, Levels, Dean Swamp, Hollow Creek, Phillipi, Talatha, Darien, Mt. Beulah, Convent, Mt. Ebal, Rocky Springs, Boiling Springs, and Good Spring.

"The introductory Sermon was preached by Rev. John Galloway. At the close of the sermon, letters were read from the above named churches: elected Rev. John Galloway, Moderator; A. H. Fort, Clerk; and J. G. Wilkerson, Treasurer, then formed the above named Association and adopted the Constitution. Brother C. Howell preached the Charity Sermon, a collection was taken up amounting to $62.62. Brother Howell was uneducated, could scarcely read his Bible, yet God wonderfully blessed his ministry."
