After this past year, we are painfully aware of how many people are needed to respond to the devastating effects of a hurricane, and we experienced it twice in one year!

Week of Prayer for Mobile International Ministries March 15 – 21, 2021
This year’s Week of Praryer for Mobile International Ministries is March 15-21, 2021. For Churches who are interested, we plan to have a brief PowerPoint presentation and a 2-3 minute video about MBA’s International Ministries available for your use. Please lead your church in this vital time of prayer for the Internationals in our community. We have more than 74 different language groups who live in Mobile. Also remember, the International Language School is a major part of our outreach to these who live among us.
|
Specifically, we are praying that God’s Holy Spirit will move among the Internationals here in a way that each may encounter Jesus personally as Savior and make Him LORD of their lives. We will pray that Seafarers will take the Gospel to their families here and in their lands of origin. We will also pray that the LORD will provide resources and personnel to allow us to be a part of what He is doing.

Special Needs and Building for Lease

Storm Damage Repairs Needed
|
As with many churches, the International Ministries Center/facility (IMC) at 605 Texas Place, was damaged during Hurricane Sally in September of 2020. Although the damage was not devastating, part of the metal outside wall corner was torn open. We need to find the least expensive way possible to repair this damage so as to prevent further damage to the interior wall and/or roof from wind and rain.
|
If you know of someone who can make the necessary repairs, please have them contact Gerald Burch, Director of International Ministries and Church Plating at 251-661-7111 or at gburch@mobilebaptists.org.
|
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.
