Thank You Mobile Baptists
for participating in the
2019 Walk for Bibles and International Ministries (WFBIM)


Your prayer support and financial gifts are vital to the ministry of the International Language School, MBA International Churches, and out-reach to seafarers.

 

To date, we have received $10,495.50 from 19 MBA Churches and numerous individuals; and donations continue coming. We praise the LORD for every gift!

A special shout-out to Hollinger’s Island Baptist Church and pastor, Dr. James Mercer. This church alone has contributed more than $3,850! This kind of giving translates into daily prayer and volunteer support.

Join us in praying

• for more Port Chaplains and for someone to coordinate the activities of the Port Chaplains

• for volunteers to help with childcare for the International Language School

• for your involvement in helping begin a Spanish speaking church

The ILS offers beginning, intermediate and advanced English as a Second Language classes. They often offer Spanish classes as well. The Fall semester is quickly coming to an end. The Spring semester will begin in January. Contact Kim via email or 251.533.2911 to register.

The ILS currently has 105 students from 30 countries. There are currently 35 volunteers working in the ILS.

This ministry to internationals in Mobile is financially supported by gifts from MBA churches. We are deeply grateful for all financial contributions to International Ministries and for volunteers who teach and show hospitality in the Language School. Businesses, churches, and individuals are encouraged to sponsor students by giving money for language Bibles, books, and supplies. You are welcome to donate any amount, as the Lord leads. Please contact Gerald Burch or Kim Wilson if you would like to help.    

How You Can Help:
1) donate hospitality items - bottled water, tea bags, fresh bread or pastries, and K-cups
2) donate your time – We need individuals to help serve refreshments during tea time, help with office work, and teach. We also very much need childcare workers. Students with small children are not able to focus and study during class with small children in tow.
4) pray – We need prayer partners to pray for the students and teachers. Pray that God’s Glory will be made known in and through this ministry. 

Please bring the above mentioned items to the Associational office (616 Azalea Road) or contact Kim Wilson at 251.533.2911 or via email.
