Missions Offering Daily Devotion

This week is the annual emphasis on Middle District missions. While each church highlights local missions at a time that works best for it, through this week's daily emails we encourage you to learn of the incredible spiritual impact of these ministries and to pray for each of them. As God guides, you also may contribute through your church or through the "donate" button at the top of the Middle District website, www.mdba.org
This year's theme is:
"Declaring His glory in our neighborhoods and around the world."
It is based on Psalms 96:3: "Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous needs among all people."

Ministerial Student Scholarship 
This year's Local Mission Offering will make possible Middle District's first ministerial scholarship to anyone who has publicly expressed a call to vocational Christian ministry and is seeking enrollment in a college, post-graduate school, or seminary.
The amount of the scholarship is $1000 and MDBA's Missions and Ministry Team will administer all aspects of the scholarship including choosing the one recipient. Interested individuals are encouraged to call the church office for additional information.
Pray for those who are called into the ministry and desire to have theological training but find it next to impossible because of their obligations of family and work. Pray also for the Missions and Ministry team as they have the hard and unenviable task of choosing only one recipient out of many applicants.

love of Jesus.
