This evening Robin and I attended a meeting in Smackover for pastors of "small" churches in the Liberty Baptist Association. A representative of the Arkanas Baptist Convention met with us in an effort to find out how they can assist bi-vocational pastors.
The meeting went well and I learned more about what the Convention can offer us and I picked up an idea or two that might be worth considering at Lawson Baptist.
But what struck me the most was hearing of some of the problems many of these pastors are facing. One pastor said that in every church he has pastored, he has had to start from scratch with such things as budgets, committees and various other items. Another said he had difficulty finding people to do various jobs in his church.
This, again, caused me to remember how blessed I am to serve at LBC with people who are willing to do what needs to be done in order to serve the Lord. God bless each of you.
See you Sunday!
