Words From Our Director 
     
   
   
         Greetings SMBA!
   Greetings!
   Happy New Year.  Now that the holiday season is past and 2025 is finished I’m looking forward to what the Lord is going to do in 2026!  Anything we didn’t get done for Him in 2025 is now a missed opportunity.  We need to press forward and try to be better workers for the kingdom in 2026.
    I hope ALL pastors will attend our January 13th Pastors/Deacons on January 13 at Mtn. View Baptist Church.  Caleb Waller will be with us to explain more about the Newfoundland mission trip in 2026.  I have asked Brushy Mtn. pastors to come join us and hear what Caleb has to share.  I believe surely we can get enough participants from the two associations to make up a team to travel to Newfoundland!
   We also will be having our first meeting to prepare for the 2026 student rally on Jan. 11 at 3 pm.  We will be meeting at the SMBA office.  I encourage anyone who can to join us!
    The Mission conference “Serving in 2026” is scheduled for Jan. 18-21 at Mtn. View Baptist Church.  Services will be Sunday morning at 11 am with Caleb Waller, Sunday evening at 6pm with Glenn Dancy, Monday through Wednesday at 7pm.  Guest speakers are Jason Wiles, Mitch Calloway, and Ken Wood.  I hope you all will attend!
    
                                           Blessings,
                                            Bro. Ken
