3. October 2009 Newsletter page 2 Notes from the Ministry Center: Do you sometimes feel like you are beating your head against a wall? There are days that I feel that way. My husband says that I am so hard headed, I probably don’t feel any pain. But even those of us who are strong willed can become discouraged. A wonderful pastor in Floyd County, Hoyt Coker, once told me “the devil’s super wedge in the life of the Christian is discouragement.” When you feel discouraged and defeated, just know that Jesus Christ has won the victory for you and me. Through His death, burial and resurrection, He defeated discouragement and gave us hope. That is the message that we strive to tell to all who walk through our doors. Please pray this month for all who come to us for help. They are fighting the devil’s super wedge every day. Pray that when they leave the ministry center, they will feel encouraged because Jesus Christ loves them! For Kingdom Work, Brenda Gail Our mission as your association is to assist our churches. One of the things that I hear, as I visit our churches and talk with pastors, is a need for leaders. We are responding to that need by providing a Leadership Training Conference. The conference will be on Monday, October 26, 6:30-9:00 P.M. at Shorter Avenue Baptist Church. I hope that your church will take advantage of this opportunity to get some quality training. This conference is designed for veteran workers as well as potential leaders or those who might be interested in a particular area. I look forward to seeing you on October 26 th.
