MISSIONS CORNER
Eric Rodgers, a
missionary, delivered a challenging message to the congregation this past
Sunday. I jokingly commented to Eric
after the service that could he not have given us just a simple message and
not one so challenging. He quipped, "OK here's one - God loves you!” Yes, as Christ's ambassadors we have a
simple message to proclaim to the nations - God loves you. In his message,
Eric pointed out that he has been working with Campus Crusade for 11
years. Eric is always grateful to Bearden for support of his ministry.
He acknowledges that he has had the privilege of growing up in this church,
having been shared with, having been led, having been nurtured in his faith.
He has been sent by this church - sent on youth ministry trips, sent as a
chaperone for youth trips, sent by being involved in community ministries. He
is grateful to Bearden church. Eric did not mention
in his message that he raises 100% of his financial support. If you
are interested in helping support Eric by a monthly financial gift, please
call him at 385-1445 or e-mail eric.rodgers@uscm.org. I recently learned last week during a
college visit that only 5% of college students nation wide attend a religious
event once a week. There is a need for young men and women to know Jesus
Christ and how the Lord relates to their everyday life. Charla Sherbakoff Outreach
Missions Team NEW CLASS. We are reaching out to our young adults and

Thing?” I know we have all seen the
