Working Together for Jesus

Baptist Men and Disaster Relief Ministry

   

 
Haiti Projects
Change a life in Haiti by participating in construction and medical projects to assist those affected by the January, 2010 earthquake. Volunteer teams are needed in 2011.  Please go to the following link for project description.
 
NCMO Regional Suppers To Be Held in August
You are invited to the NCMO regional supper. Please attend the NCMO regional supper that will be held in your region. These celebrations will highlight the excellent mission work NC Baptists are doing in our state, our nation, and around the world. Featured will be worship, testimony, mission video, and a prayer time for missions. Everyone interested in missions is encouraged to attend - men, women, and youth.  For the dates, locations and more information go to: http://www.baptistsonmission.org/Events/Adult/Regional-Rallies/Mission-Celebrations
 
NC Missions Offering 2010
Please promote the NC Missions Offering in your church. NC Baptist Men ministries and projects get all of their budget from the NC Missions Offering. This offering is vital for disaster relief, the medical/dental buses, as well as all of our partnerships and all of the ministries and program of NC Baptist Men. There are excellent resources that are available for you to promote the NC Missions Offering in your church. For more information on offering and those resources go to:  http://www.ncmissionsoffering.org/
 
Volunteers Needed in Kenya, East Africa
Volunteers are needed for two projects sponsored by NC Baptist Men in Kenya, East Africa. Nyeri Baptist High School, an institution run by the Kenya Baptist Convention, needs teams to aid in the construction of a girl's dormitory and classrooms. Teams live on campus and enjoy interacting with the staff and students, who come from all over East Africa. The team works with a talented group of Kenyans while on the job site. We also need teams for the “Houses of Hope” project. This is a community service project, the aim of which is to help the Kenya Baptist Convention in their goal of starting 1000 new house churches. The team will build four houses in four days for needy families in villages in Western Kenya. Teams will also have opportunity to conduct children’s ministry and other outreach. Both of these projects can use teams year-round. To see pictures and learn more about these exciting projects, visit our website at:

2011 Honduras Dates Are Now Available
This has been a great year for our ministry in Honduras. Countless lives have been changed through our construction/evangelism teams. You can make a difference in the life of a Honduran family in 2011! Working in conjunction with a local Honduran congregation, our teams build houses for those currently living in the worst of conditions. Team members also have the opportunity to do evangelism through VBS, door to door, and prayer walking. We also work with evangelism teams and medical/dental teams. An on-site coordinating couple, volunteer house, vehicles, and Honduran support team, make this a very “doable” overseas project for any church. We are now signing teams up for next year.  For more information go to our website to check out this life-changing mission opportunity:

Teams Needed in Hawaii this Fall and Winter
NC Baptist Men has a partnership with the Puu Kahea Baptist Conference Center on the island of Oahu. This beautiful facility on the Hawaiian shore needs volunteer teams to do both maintenance and construction projects during the upcoming fall and winter months. Teams will also be needed next spring. The camp director will be glad to work with any construction/maintenance  team that might also wish to do evangelism or outreach ministry in the nearby community as well. Teams stay at the camp for $30 per person per day (includes lodging and meals). The camp has a van that can be used to pick up teams at the airport. For more information go to our website at:

Men’s Ministry Weekend at Red Springs Mission Camp
Men from across our state are invited to a special weekend of fellowship, worship, and missions  at Red Springs, NC Baptist Men’s mission camp located near Lumberton, NC on October 8-9. The Mission Camp provides a place where volunteers can use their God-given skills to rebuild homes and touch lives in the name of Christ. Most projects involve the building of new homes and renovation of existing ones in and around Robeson County. In addition to the chance to participate in a hands-on mission project, we will also have a men’s worship rally and devotional times throughout the weekend.

Program will include an opening overview, followed by sessions on specific ministry areas, and time for questions/wrap-up. The content will deal with why, and ideas on how, to have a vibrant, well-rounded Men’s Ministry – one that leads men to grow spiritually while involving them in mission and ministry. These topics are among those that will be discussed – organization, leadership, promotion, spiritual development for men, effective monthly meetings, missions opportunities, church ministry involvement, and more.
