Women's Missions & Ministry

We need every church's help!

On our Facebook page we are going to list every church and each mission activity they are involved in.  We want this so that everyone in the Association can get involved and see what everyone else is doing.  This will give other churches ideas on what they can do and if a church is low budget or  low member then they could contact another church to help with a mission they are interested in.  This will bring our Association closer together like the family we are supposed to be in Christ!  You can email your mission projects to Jessica Miller.

Save the Date!  July 13-16, 2011

Make sure your 7th - 12th grade girls are going to Orlando, FL in 2011. 

Help them raise the funds through your church or let us know at the association office so we can help!

Cindy Walker at FBC in Minden would also like anyone with girls that would like to go to please get in touch with her. 

Their church will have a group going and she would love to include your girls with hers. 

Contact FBC church at 318-377-4434 and they can get you in touch with Cindy.

 for more information.

!!!REMINDER!!!

Don't forget to get your Questionnaires filled out and mailed back so the leadership team will know how to help your church.  We aren't going to try to tell you what to do we just want to know what you are interested in so that when we plan events and conferences we will know what type of programs you would like.  We are looking forward to working with each of you!

Do you feel like your WMU or church is too old to do missions?

Here are some ideas that the smallest children or the oldest most un-able bodied people can still do!

1. Most important thing you can do is PRAY!
2. Set up collection boxes for food and give it to the Louisiana Baptist Children's Home, a homeless shelter or any other agency you can think of.
3. Collect toys and give them to the toy drives at Christmas like Operation Santa Clause or Toys for Tots or you could give them to the Angel Tree for prisoner's children.
4. Collect blankets and give them to the homeless shelters or nursing homes.
5. You could make dolls, blankets, quilts, etc. for the things listed above or other ministries.
6. Write letters of encouragement to church leaders, missionaries, college students, etc.
7. Do a "prayer walk" through your local newspaper.

Please Remember!

The job of WMU in our churches is not to do all the missions by themselves.  Their job and responsibility to our churches is to promote the mission projects, keep track of the progress and let us know what the outcome was.  The whole church should be getting involved in missions.  Our job is to educate and encourage people to get involved!

Adopt a Missionary

 What is this?

     If your church is hosting a Missionary for the On Mission Celebration in January then we are encouraging you to get to know that Missionary and keep in touch with them.  If your church is not, then we are asking you to contact us to get the name and contact information for a Missionary that you can adopt.

What will I have to do?

     You can handle this several ways. 

• First and most important is to stay in contact with the Missionary through letters or e-mail.
• Second, in your letters, you can find out things that would help your Missionary be more effective or things that are hard for them to get their hands on. 
• Third, You could set up a collection box in your church and ask everyone in the church to pick up items as they can or you could have a set time to take up the items.
• Also, keep your church and the Association educated on what your Missionary is doing.  We need to remember that the Missionaries are "real" people.
