It is ALL about relationships..........

                       IT IS ALL ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS:
This past week, we celebrated over 200 students graduating from Conversational Eng School that is held at First Baptist Church every Thursday, during the school year. Several students got up and shared about their experience and one of the common factors was about relationships built with teachers that year. Some teachers had gone out of their way to invite these internationals into their homes, made them a part of their families and have prayed for them all year. It made a difference. Quite a few of them will be going back to their home conuntries this summer. Many of these students are very influential in their countries What a testament of God's love to these students!

Pray this week that as you go about your errands or work or school here in the Montgomery area, you will stop and be kind to someone. Begin to build a relationship with them. You never know who you will be influences towards Jesus!

Pray for everything you SAY this week...be acceptable to the Lord.
Psalm 19:14 "Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in Thy sight, O LORD, my rock and my Redeemer".

Living Out Your Baptism Proclamation in Montgomery, AL

This past weekend, Gateway Baptist Church baptized 10 people. From age 10-70's-these 10 people stood up for Christ, telling the world that they have chosen to follow Christ.
 
 
Wondering if the "baptism" that we have experienced has the same meaning as it once had..."we are proclaiming to the world that we are choosing to follow Christ, no matter what the price"? Listen to this song and see how our baptism choice "matters" in how we live each day.

If we fully commit to living out our "baptism choice", we WILL make a difference in Montgomery. These 10 will make a difference today in an elementary school, a college campus, in families, in workplaces HERE in Montgomery.

Pray for these 10 as they step out today and LIVE out their proclamation of II Cor. 5:17 "This means that anyone who belongs to Christ has become a new person. The old life is gone; a new life has begun!" NLT
