Words From Our Director 
     
     
      Greetings!
    Praise God, He has risen!  This month we celebrate Easter. We celebrate a risen Lord and an empty tomb! I love all the scripture account of the resurrection. What Paul said to the church at Corinthia during their conflict about if there would be a resurrection of the saints is one of my favorite scriptures.  “But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.” 
                                                                                I Corinthians 15:20 KJV

    I have been asked to preach a youth service at a local church. At 65, I am very honored to be asked!  I’ve been preaching nearly 50 years and when I started, I was booked nearly every 5th Sunday preaching somewhere at a youth service. I barely could quote John 3:16, much less compile a 5 point expository sermon. Basically, I read scriptures and gave my testimony while tears of unworthiness rolled down my face. Then I would extend God’s invitation and walk away disappointed if no one walked the isle and trust Jesus Christ as Savior that day. Years ago sinners recognized they were lost.   Today I believe folks are more gospel hardened many do not realize or choose not to believe they are lost!
   I want to thank Baptist Home Church for bringing a crew over and executing a good cleaning at the SMBA office! A couple of other churches have signed up to come clean once during a month of the year.  All help is greatly appreciated as we only work limited hours and no housekeeping services have been budgeted. For further information, please call the office.
  
     Our Baptist Children’s Homes food drive in April.  Bonnie Baker from Roaring Gap Baptist Church is our BCH representative this year.  You may call her, myself or Sherry at the office (336-696-4210) if you have any questions.  We strongly recommend gift cards as they can be use easily for food, needs or services and are easy to collect.  All of the collected items need to be in our office by Friday noon of May the 2nd.  SMBA churches have always been very giving to the BHC and they are always astounded at how generous our SMBA churches are!
       
                                                                        Bless you all and Happy Easter!
                                                                        Bro. Ken
