October 2-5


Sunday AM-Keynote Address

Notes / PowerPoint

Tuesday PM-Field Presentation

Our keynote speaker was our own veteran Missionary Ray Rhoton.  He and his wife Kristi were taken on by GBC 3 years ago as they began their time in Costa Rica where Ray grew up as a "Missionary Kid."

Ray's parents, Randy and Sherry Rhoton, pastored Grace Baptist Church of Milan, NM when our own Pastor Jerry was a kid there and when the Rhoton's  son was known as "Ray-Ray."

Here's the Rhoton Ministries website with much more info. on both families.  Ray and Kristi are looking for a little more support before returning to the field in May, 2006.  You can contact them thru the website, above.


Sunday PM-Preaching

We also had the privilege of having Daniel and Kristy Smith, on deputation now heading for The Congo in Africa.  GBC presently has more than 20 missionaries but none on the dark continent.  We are praying for God's will in this matter.

Wednesday PM-Field Presentation

Monday PM-Field Presentation

 

Steve and Natalie Arn are heading to Papua New Guinea where Natalie served with her parents who are pioneer missionaries on the Pacific island chain.  They shared their burden as well as the life-changing videos documenting the New Tribes Mission success over the last 2 decades in reaching these remote islanders...

“What is EE-TAOW?

 We're glad you asked!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“Ee-Taow” is a word in the Mouk language that you will never forget! 

A Kodak Moment!

Prepare for an astounding visual experience.  Witness the moment in time that the Mouk people discover the forgiveness of God through the sacrifice of Jesus.

 

 

 

 

Don’t miss it!
