| | | The Associational Enlistment Committee is at work filling the positions vacant for 2023-2025. If you feel led to serve in any of the open positions, or if you could recommend someone to serve, it would be of great help to this Committee and the Association.
|
Please pray and let us know by July 25, 2022 of any suggestions that you might have. The desire is to involve as many people from the Association as possible. It would be best to have all of the active churches represented in some way in the Association. The MBA Committees’ job descriptions are located here.
|
Pray for the Enlistment Committee as they meet, make contacts, and accomplish the task. There is a lot to do and these committees are so vital to the success of the Mobile Baptist Association, and to the Kingdom of God.

| | At this time of year, the Association accepts applications for the Mobile Baptist Student Scholarship and the Addine Maynard Scholarship. These two scholarships are available to undergraduate students from Mobile Baptist Association churches, preparing for a Christian vocation and attending the University of Mobile, Samford University, or another Southern Baptist institution. The Addine Maynard Scholarship was established to assist African-American students. The Lillie Mae Dean International Scholarship is to assist a Baptist student from a ministerial or missionary family working in the area of language missions.
|
The deadline for returning applications to the Association is Monday, August 1, 2022. The application must be postmarked by August 1. Completed applications can be emailed to the MBA office.
|
| Interest from the Association’s Student Scholarship Trust, held by the Alabama Baptist Foundation, provides the funding for these scholarships. As you find opportunity, please inform your members of this trust. Someone in your congregation may wish to contribute to this trust through gifts, memorials, or other means to provide future students the resources to receive an education. |

| | |  |  | In 2022, the Mobile Baptist Association (MBA) is celebrating 50 years of ministry to Seafarers visiting the Port of Mobile. In 1972, the MBA adopted the International Seamen's Ministry in cooperation with the Alabama State Board of Missions and the then Home Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention.
|
| Thank you for your continued support through praying, giving, and volunteering. This dynamic ministry does not exist without YOU! |

DONATE USED LITERATURE
| The Seafarers Ministry is in need of used, adult Sunday School quarterlies and devotional materials (English) to give to each ship that comes into the Port of Mobile. If your church could drop the materials by the MBA Office at your convenience,it would be greatly appreciated. We may be able to use some older materials…bring them in and we will use what we can and dispose of the ones we cannot use. |
