| Consider ministry opportunities on November 11 |
 This Veterans Day, think about getting beyond saying "thank you" to members of the U.S. military for their service and sacrifice. Are there families with deployed members in your congregation? How could your faith community help and support them? What about folks who have returned from a deployment? Can the church help meet their needs? The current issue of The Christian Citizen, which focuses on "Supporting Those Who Serve," will guide your hearing of God's call to minister to the military in your midst. |

 We need your help. We want to help local churches and American Baptist mission efforts here at home in the United States and Puerto Rico strengthen and carry out their ministries. To do that, we need to know what your needs are. Please tell us! Continuing an effort that began at the Biennial in Pasadena just months ago, we are asking American Baptists across the country to complete our survey "Home Mission Conversation 2009." Please help us help you. |
| Evangelism, 100% natural and organic |
 If standing on street corners proclaiming salvation doesn't quite fit with the quieter, more reserved members of your faith community, take a look at "personality-based" evangelism, developed by National Ministries' Dr. Jeffrey Johnson. An outline of the outreach and implementation associated with this style of sharing the Good News provides a snapshot of what "Got Style?" can do for your church, not the least of which is allowing the Holy Spirit to work in the life of your congregation in natural and non-threatening ways. |
