"A Thankful Heart." by Carole Lewis. This book teaches us how
gratitude brings hope and healing to our lives. 1 Thessalonians

you in Christ Jesus." All the Ladies of Olga Baptist Church are

in all circumstances. You will need a book for the study.....The

God Rewards Our Work
2009
GROW began
in our church back in January 27, 2004. The
GROW campaign has been going strong this past year, but we are always in
need of more GROW volunteers to make phone calls, write letters, make
visits, and pray.
GROW is a phenomenally successful outreach program
which helps us share the good news with those whom we come in contact
with. The GROW campaign uses volunteers to make phone calls,
write letters, make visits, and to be part of a prayer group.
Please join with us in praying for this program as we continue with
this program this year.
Jesus
instructed the church to win the lost, baptize them and make disciples
of those believers.
When people are motivated, mobilized, and focused on the biblical
principals of evangelism and outreach, they become empowered by God's
spirit. Lives are changed, and churches grow.
What is GROW? It is an Outreach and Inreach Program that has been very
successful in other Baptist churches. It is built around five
biblical principals including the principal of sowing and reaping.
We know that when we plant a seed we hope for a harvest. While
not all seed will produce a crop, we also know that if we don’t sow
any seed we can be assured there won’t be any harvest.

Dr. Jerry N.
Tidwell developed the G.R.O.W. (God Rewards Our Work) outreach ministry
and implemented it in both small and large churches.
Under this
proven-effective approach, church members are asked to commit just one
evening each month to outreach...with several different avenues of
outreach from which they can choose. And it's all backed by strong
training that encourages and builds confidence in each participant.
GROW Team Members
volunteer to visit, write or phone. It is your choice...With which
do you feel comfortable? GROW Team Members are obligated to only
one Tuesday evening a month for approximately one hour. But what an
hour!... an hour of fellowship and friendship.
Thanks to Cathy
M. for taking over the responsibility of heading the GROW Program.
Please include her and the GROW Team Members in your prayers.
If you know of
anyone that could use a visit or just a word of encouragement, please
inform Cathy or our Pastor.
The GROW campaign
has been going strong this past year but we are always in need of more
GROW volunteers to make phone calls, write letters, make visits, and
pray
"Grow With God Daily"

Did you know
that much of the email we receive on a daily basis is based upon lies,
rumors, myths, and urban legends?
Many well-meaning people forward these type of messages on a daily basis
without a second thought.
So What
is the Harm in Forwarding this Stuff Anyway - Plenty!!

sure what is and isn't true and you are really serious about being more
truthful, desiring to develop a sense of Christian discernment, then arm
yourself with even more resources at "The
Christian Arsenal's Urban Legends" webpage which has many links
to help you be truthful and to not tarnish your Christian testimony.

How to Become A Christian
Jesus Christ was with God the
Father before the world was created. He became human and lived
among humanity as Jesus of Nazareth. He came to show us what
God the Father is like. He lived a sinless life, showing us how to
live; and He died upon a cross to pay for our sins. God raised Him
from the dead.
Jesus is the source of eternal
life. Jesus wants to be the doorway to new life for you. In
the Bible He was called the "Lamb of God (John 1:29). In the Old
Testament, sacrifices were made for the sins of the people. Jesus
became the sacrificial lamb offered for your sin.
Jesus said, "I am the way and the
truth and the life. No one comes unto the Father except through
me" (John 14:6). He is waiting for you now.
Admit to God that you are a
sinner. Repent, turning away from your sin.
By faith receive Jesus
Christ as God's Son and accept Jesus' gift of forgiveness from sin.
He took the penalty for your sin by dying on the cross.
Confess your faith in Jesus
Christ as Savior and Lord.

You may pray a prayer similar to
this as you call on God to save you: "Dear God, I know that you
love me. I confess my sin and need of salvation. I turn away
from my sin and place my faith in Jesus as my Savior and Lord. In
Jesus' name I pray, amen."
After you have received Jesus
Christ into your life, tell a pastor or another Christian about your
decision. Show others your faith in Christ by asking for baptism
by immersion in your local church as a public expression of your faith.

How can a person have God's forgiveness, heaven &
eternal life, and Jesus as personal Savior and Lord? By trusting
in Christ and asking Him for forgiveness. Take the step of faith
described by another meaning of FAITH:
Forsaking
All
I
Trust
Him.
Then tell someone about the important decision you
have made. Grow in your faith and enjoy new friends in Christ by
becoming part of His church and attending the Sunday School class a
church has just for you.
