Please contact our Alabama State Senators TODAY, February 19th or tomorrow morning to vote no on HB267, a local Bill for Mobile County. This stealth bill allows Sunday Sales of Alcohol to begin at 10:00 a.m. by act of the County commission WITHOUT a vote of the people. Alcohol interests continue to expand access without concern for the effects on people and our communities.

Day of Prayer for the Mobile International Community March 12, 2018

Day of Prayer for the
Mobile International Community

Monday, March 12, 2018
11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
International Ministries Center

Prayer is the start of missions. Through prayer, we gain a heart for missions and the capacity to reach the 72 nations that live in Mobile County. March 12, 2018, 11:30 a.m. at the International Ministries Center, will begin a one year season of prayer for the International Community living in Mobile County. Join us for a time of prayer and flag raising ceremony. Come enjoy roast, rice & gravy, green beans, roll, tea, cake and banana pudding. Please make reservations for lunch and bring $5 p/person to help subsidize the cost.

We no longer have to get on an airplane to reach the world. We only need to look at our County and see the 68 language/people groups living among us. The Father has brought them to us to help them know true love and forgiveness. Prayer is the first step in them knowing Jesus Christ.

Mobile Baptist churches are asked to consider adopting one of these people groups. Your adoption of a people group means your church will pray for that nationality for one year. Churches are encouraged to be creative and think of unique ways to keep the adopted people group in prayer.

For a visual reminder, churches are also asked to consider purchasing two flags of the adopted nation. One flag is to be placed in a prominent place in the church building. The second flag will be hung at the International Ministries Center.

Visit mobilebaptists.org/day-of-prayer-for-internationals for more information.
