Missions Spotlight: Handyman Ministry

Behind the scenes in our community is a ministry team we call Handymen Ministries. This team has been blessing our community by providing free labor for those who need a ramp built to have easier and safer access into their homes. Our men provide free labor and the homeowners provide the materials needed to build the accessibility ramps.

Most of us never anticipate physical crises and those who serve in First Baptist’s Handymen Ministries know they are a God send to those who need a ramp built for their home. Over the years this group has been flooded with thank you notes and donations to their ministry that come from an outpouring of gratitude from those they bless with their work. The group has also volunteered together for various projects at Caraway and Mundo Vista. They also sometimes help widows address minor things in their homes. This group receives great joy serving together and wants no recognition for their service. They do what they do because of their love for the Lord and their community. They build community together among themselves as they serve together.

This team has been building in our community for well over a decade and plans to keep serving. If you know of someone in need of a ramp you can contact our church office at 336-629-9191 for more information.

God's Miracle in Valerie French

At 47 yrs old Valerie French had 2 massive strokes. She couldn't walk or talk and was bedridden. A lot of prayers went up for her. Valerie wants everyone to know that God works miracles. She couldn't talk but she worked in therapy and started walking. She'd walk and walk. She'd walk a mile a day. Even though she could walk she still couldn't talk very well. She also couldn't write. Every day she'd try to write the alphabet for hours to practice. Her strokes resulted in the non-use of her dominant right hand. She'd have her husband go to the library to get elementary school spelling books to learn to spell words again. She said she lost the ability to do everything. She had to relearn a lot. She didn't even remember the names of her own children. She relearned everything: how to eat, bathe, walk, talk, etc. "God gave me the strength to keep working and working. I couldn't pray like everybody else. All I could do

Pressing Through Adversity: Luke 4:16-30

We are in summer, not according to the calendar, but school is out. I always enjoyed summer reading programs while I was growing up. The bookmobile even came to my street. One way we communicate is through books. As we read we learn new vocabulary and we learn. Even what we're doing now is communicating. A sermon or preaching is something we don't have in other aspects of our lives. Preaching allows us to work through a passage of scripture. What's so significant about preaching? Some say preaching won't last in our culture. The reasons why we communicate in sermons is this is how Jesus communicated. Jesus taught and spoke to people. Jesus was a preacher. One of the main ways Jesus communicated was through preaching when Jesus was in his public ministry. Jesus was so influential that even people who didn't believe He was God called him, "Rabbi" which means teacher. Preaching can convict us and take us to a place that's uncomfortable.
