Our purpose is to partner with the 49 churches and missions of the Sandy Creek Baptist Association providing assistance, training, resources, mission opportunities, fellowship events, and more as they seek to fulfill the Great Commission of our Lord in their communities. As a missions mobilization center, we help provide ways to be involved in missions both abroad and at home. We hope you will find our Web site informative and helpful. Please contact us with questions or comments if we can be of further service. ___________________________________________________________________________________

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Important Mission Opportunity Every year we participate in the Operation Christmas Child Ministry to share Christ’s love with children all over the world. Here is another chance to help children in our own country. Freedom Center Ministries is part of the Appalachian Regional Ministry. They are located in Lynch, a small town in the heart of Kentucky’s coal fields. The Center seeks to reach out to their community, which has a 29% poverty level. What we would like to do is provide Easter boxes, like the Christmas boxes, for the children there in four different elementary schools. If your church would consider helping with this mission opportunity, here are the steps to follow. 1. Contact Marc Sanders, pastor at Sandy Branch Baptist Church, and let him know how many boxes you hope to provide and he will give you the age level of the children to prepare for. You may reach him at (919) 742-0602.
2. Prepare the shoeboxes just like you would prepare the Christmas shoeboxes for the needed age level.
3. Deliver them to Sandy Branch Baptist Church by Wednesday, April 4.
4. Sandy Branch will deliver the boxes to the Center in Lynch and distribute them in the four different elementary schools in the county during the week of April 9.
5. If you would like to go with Sandy Branch to deliver the boxes, they would welcome your assistance.
6. You do NOT have to include money for postage.
