Shalom. We are at the end of 2011 and getting ready to usher in 2012. In retrospect, how have we done as Women on Mission? I recently read that the mission field in North America is shifting. With 83 percent of the population now living in cities and metropolitan areas, the major population centers in the United States and Canada are vital mission fields for kingdom growth and influence. This was reported in the "On Mission" Winter 2011 issue. This change is shown in our IMB Lottie Moon mission emphases. We are studying London, England. As Christians we are to follow the Great Commission. We understand that Christ charged us to reach out and share His message of salvation. It sounds simple, but it can be very difficult and challenging in our busy world of today. One way we can recharge is to join a Women on Mission Group or if you do not have one in your church, start one. This group will encourage women, teach them about missional life, educate them of all opportunities of ministry available, and minister to them in prayer and Bible study. If you wish, I am eager to come and talk with you about beginning a group or providing a program for one of your groups. This coming year please pray about where God wants you to serve in His kingdom work.
In Christ |

State Evangelism Conference Teach HIM Personally There will be: There is no registration or cost required to attend the two days of the State Evangelism Conference and the Women's breakout sessions.

MY316 is based on your personal testimony and John 3:16 I believe a great majority of people know the scripture John 3:16. This is a wonderful way of using what you already know – your story and John 3:16 – to share Jesus with your friends and family. The Baptist General Convention of Oklahoma has some helps in presenting your story. You can call the Outreach Team to request someone to come speak to your entire church about "My316.com Take it Personally." He will bring guides and visual helps to us. I encourage you to ask your pastor to do this. It is such an easy way for those of us who are shy, timid or don't know exactly what to say. Bro. Randall Adams has written a book "Following JESUS from the Beginning." It is a new believers study which will help you guide a new believer by telling what Jesus has done for you and see that Jesus loves them too. You can contact randalladams@bgco.org I will leave several flyers and an example of how to witness to a child at the KBA office. |

December 4-11 This is quite a list of areas to cover. It is an interesting study. Ask your pastor to be sure and show the DVD that goes with the study to your church. Our WMU study is on the city of London, England. I have learned a lot and am enjoying preparing for an English meal to be prepared for our congregation. |
Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; Where there is sadness, joy; O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; To be understood as to understand To be loved as to love. For it is in giving we receive; It is in pardoning that we are pardoned; And it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. |

JESUS LIVED HIS FAITH
In good times
In hard times
At all times
When He was tempted
When He was hurting
When He was searching
When people were struggling
When He suffered rejection
When it seemed everything was lost |

CHURCH LADIESWomen are more involved in church than any other American Christian demographic. Women make up more than half if church attendees (53 %) and have the widest presence in church involvement, with 60% of small group attendees and 57% of volunteers being women. This is from the Barna Group, June 28, 2010. So this should tell us we have the opportunity to change our community by reaching out and telling them Jesus loves them and showing it by our lifestyle. Day of Prayer Sunday January 29This is a day for all Southern Baptists to pray for spiritual renewal in our churches and spiritual awakening across North America. |

2011-2012 Watchword"Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God." Hebrews 12:1-2 |
