One of the ministries we will be doing as an
association, on Saturday, May 18th, for our
Jerusalem First Mission Day, is passing out
food boxes. While this is happening, we plan
to have people here, also sharing the Gospel.
We need your help! Our GCBA office will be
the central location for the food boxes being
distributed on May 18th. How can you help?
We need our churches to begin taking up non
-perishable foods now, in order to have enough
food for our Jerusalem First Mission Day. We
will also need people to help pack and distrib-
ute those boxes.
You may begin dropping off food at our of-
fice anytime between the hours of 9:00 a.m.
until 1:00 p.m., Monday’s through Friday’s.
Some of the items we suggest you collect are;
Mac and cheese
Rice
Beans
Oatmeal
Spaghetti noodles and sauce
Canned vegetables
Muffin mixes
Gravy mixes
soups
The next Adults on Mission meeting will be
Thursday, April 4th, at 10:30 a.m., with a pot-
luck to follow. Stanford Baptist Church will
host the meeting. The Featured Guest Speaker
will be former NAMB Church Planter, Bro.
Sunny Williams. The Poe’s will bring our spe-
cial music. We hope you will join us! This is
not just for women, it’s for everyone. Come
hear what is going on in N. E. Arkansas!

Children’s Mission Weekend
We saw over 180 in attendance this year, at our annual, “Children’s
Mission Weekend” at Cedar Glade. Our Leaders did a wonderful job prepar-
ing a fantastic program, and everyone seemed to really enjoy themselves.
The Children’s Mission Weekend is always a great prelude to children’s
camp, which is July 7-11. A special thank you to everyone who worked so
hard, to make the weekend a great success.
“Jerusalem First” May 18, 2018
I am tremendously excited that, once again, we are back in the saddle with “Jerusalem First.”
When it comes to our evangelistic efforts, we should start in our own backyards, before traveling to
other parts of our mission fields (Judea, Samaria, and the uttermost). On May 18, there will be
block parties, medical/dental clinics, evangelism, construction, prayer walking, yard work, and
food distribution projects going on all over Paragould. It’s going to be an awesome day, and I hope
your church is fully involved in this powerful effort. Start your registration as soon as possible,
and it’s not too early to start your food drive, as well. Let us know how our office can help you get
started. You may begin registering now on line at www.greenecountyba.com.
Wanted Hard Workers
Many years ago, in our Baptist Hymnal (1956 Edition), there was a section that I called
“work” songs. These so called work songs included titles like, “We’ll Work Till Jesus Comes”, “Work
for the Night Is Coming” “To The Work” , “Bringing in the Sheaves” and “Bring Them In”. As a
child, I would listen to our adults sing these old songs, and little did they know, that those old
songs, and the fervency in which they sang, made a great impact upon my life and my young
heart.
Today, we must remember that hard work is still a necessity to seeing people come to know
Christ, and that hard work is required to discipling the saved. Now is the time to be planning for the
summer. Now is a time to plant, so that in the days to come, we may see a great harvest of wonder-
ful lives. And remember, all of this requires hard work!
Brother Dave
P.S. Easter is the most important season that we celebrate as Christians and as Baptists. May this
years Easter Celebration be a great, great celebration in our churches. As individuals, let us strive
to get all that we can get from this special season. Let our hearts be moved by the love that our Lord
showed some two thousands plus years ago. Let us be moved so that we share this love with our lost
and dying world. Have a wonderful Easter!
This Year’s Children’s Missions Weekend
was one for the books! We saw nearly 200
people present, and so many precious seeds
planted for the Kingdom.
This year, we had Bro. Alex West as our Mis-
sions Weekend pastor, and Ms. Jenni Lamb,
as our worship leader. The weekend was full
of fun had by all, but more importantly, dig-
ging in and learning about God’s Word and
missions!
Our Children’s Team worked together so that
we could have, not only a missions weekend,
but a prelude to this year’s Children’s Camp.
We are working hard towards including all
of our churches, and making it possible to see
as many sweet children, learn about Jesus, as
possible!
Nettleton Baptist Church
Jonesboro
Monday, April 8th
5:00 PM-8:30 PM This summer, kids will focus in on some
amazing, real-life encounters with Jesus.
Each encounter is like a snapshot—a spe-
cial moment in time -captured on the pages
of Scripture. Through VBS, kids will discov-
er that each snapshot of Jesus is an opportuni-
ty to respond to the Gospel. When put togeth-
er, these isolated encounters, clearly reveal the
most amazing truth of all—Jesus Christ is
the Messiah, the Son of God, and by believ-
ing, we can have life in His name.
Are you ready for an up close and personal
encounter with Jesus? The adventure of a life-
time awaits!
Join us for the adventure at our State VBS
training on April 8th, at Nettleton Baptist
Church in Jonesboro. We look forward to see-
ing you there! For additional information,
please contact Emily Smith at 1-800-838-
2272, ext. 5193.
