As some of you know one of our recent LBA pastors and his wife have been called as full time missionaries to Haiti. Rev Kyle and Jennifer Giddens has recently resigned from where they had served at Olivet Baptist Church. They are now a part of and serve with Good Shepherd Ministries.  Since the Giddens served with the LBA we have decided that we will support their ministry and mission for the children in Haiti. At Christmas each year this ministry has “The Hope of Christmas” bags. This is Christmas for the children of Haiti. It is a clear 13x15 bag that you are asked to fill. Please see this insert for all the information.

​I feel we all know something about the great and many needs of the people in Haiti. Since the Giddens are a part of this ministry we are assured the children do receive these bags. I am glad we know this because we have all probably heard what usually happens to items and money sent to Haiti. Our goal is to fill 1500 bags. The 13x15 bags are at the LBA for you to pick up! We want everyone to know that we don’t want this to stop anyone or any of our churches from giving to the “Operation Christmas Child, Christmas Shoeboxes” ministry.
If you or your church would like to help:
You may wish to rotate page 2 clockwise after downloading the file to make the forms stand straight. Also, on that page you will need to write LBA on the line just before the words “for the shipping and related expenses”. On the next line you will need to fill in that line with the words: October 15, 2017.

The reason we are giving the date October 15th is because we will pray over them during our LBA Annual Meeting on that day.  This year the LBA Annual Meeting is October 15, 2017 at Dudley Baptist Church.  Church Messengers will need to be there 4:00pm-4:20pm. The meeting begins at 4:30pm.

​What an experience and a privilege to give because He first gave! Even more, what an experience to love and show love, because He first loved us! Thanks to the LBA mission team who went to carry the Backpacks! ​We did deliver backpacks to Trammel Baptist Church in Trammel, Virginia and to Clintwood Baptist Church Clintwood, Virginia. 

This event included sharing the gospel (telling others how to be saved). We had 10 people who accepted Christ (PTL)!!! ​​ We carried the LBA Block Party Trailer. So we offered popcorn, snow cones, face painting and food. The rain didn’t hamper everything too much because we gave away over 500 backpacks. 
The number that showed up at Clintwood Baptist was awesome! The extra ones will be given out as both pastor’s sees the need. We have even more good news! As a result of this event, both churches had new prospects to attend church on Sunday. Some even said they will continue to attend! This was such great news for both churches! Please pray that others will be saved and God will be even more glorified! The following Laurens Baptist Association churches were represented on this mission trip: Brewton Baptist, Marie Baptist, Mt Zion Baptist, Olivet Baptist, Pleasant Springs Baptist, Poplar Springs North Baptist, Rentz Baptist, Rock Springs Baptist, and White Springs Baptist.
