9TH ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL MINISTRIES BENEFIT GOLF TOURNAMENT

TimberCreek Golf Club, Daphne
It is not too early to put together one or more teams to enter this tournament. We also depend on sponsors and/or hole sponsors to help us raise funds for International Ministries including: international churches and ministry to seafarers. We are grateful to Rev. Art Burroughs and Rev. James Mercer for organizing and leading this important benefit.
|
In addition to organizing Golf Teams (4 people teams), we ask Churches, Sunday Schools, and Small Groups to please encourage private businesses and social groups that have contact with to consider becoming sponsors.

HISPANIC CHURCH PLANT UPDATE
|
God has graciously provided for three years of startup support for the Hispanic Church Planter, Dr. Ramon Vielza. Rev. Vielza, his wife, and daughters are excited about serving the LORD here and hope to begin work by the first of June. Many of our churches have stepped forward to commit to helping pay the Vielza’s salary and support for the first three years. The Vielza’s will need core members to commit to working with them as they survey, do groundwork, and begin gathering Spanish-speaking groups. We believe the LORD will start one or more churches from the groups.

Special Need and Building for Lease
This past 2020 year, we were blessed to have several churches cut and trim the 5 acre yard at the IMC free of charge. Already this year, the grass growing season has begun. At a bare minimum, we need volunteers who can cut and trim every three weeks. If you can help and/or know someone that can help, please contact Gerald Burch, at 251-661-7111 or at gburch@mobilebaptists.org. If we cannot get volunteers, we appreciate an estimate for cutting and trimming.

International Ministries Center/facility for Lease
|
|
The IMC has been for sale for several years. During this last calendar year, we had buyers make legitimate offers only to have them cancel due to failure by the Mobile City District Commissioner to grant the necessary zoning changes. We are interested in leasing it to a church or Non-Profit until we can get approval for a sale. Interested parties should contact Gerald Burch, at 251-661-7111 or at gburch@mobilebaptists.org.
