The “Buckets of Hope” ministry is just one means by which Baptists can fulfill the mandate of Jesus Christ to feed the hungry in the name of Jesus. As we are reminded in Matthew 25:40, Jesus tells us, “And the King shall answer and say unto them, ‘Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye [...]

The highlight of the summer calendar for most churches is Vacation Bible School. Regardless of whether your church uses a curriculum from Lifeway or another publishing company, V.B.S. continues to reach the unsaved. In 2008 (according to Lifeway sources), over 2.8 million people were enrolled in Vacation Bible School with more than 86,000 decisions to [...]
Since 2005, each February, save one, has brought The Mission’s Valentines Event. What began as a small musical/dance production by ten or so students that drew around fifty in attendance grew into a musical-movie-drama requiring forty or so workers, and drawing nearly 400 in attendance. This year’s Valentines event added a new element: food. The [...]
It doesn’t take long for a teacher to discover that within their classroom of learners there are varied learning styles. This is true, regardless of the age of the learner. One of the challenges for the teacher is to develop a teaching strategy which will ultimately reach every learner. This can be done! In fact, [...]
As I have mentioned before, an intricate part of the Set Free ministry is to have a discipleship “ranch” to take people to after they come in off the street. They would stay there sixty plus days. The property needs to be a good distance from town, but close enough for churches to help with [...]
It is time to mark your calendars and make plans to participate in the 2010 River Fest outreach. Our outreach will be from May 13th to 15th. We will have street evangelists here to work with you and to help train our church members. Walking with Power will return this year for our main event [...]
This next year promises to be a financially challenging one for many of our families. Have you considered a local mission trip to avoid travel and motel costs? Working within your local association can be effective in terms of the impact on the Kingdom of God. We have opportunities that can involve hours or days [...]
God has blessed us in this ministry. We see many lives changed at JDF and at the Boy’s ranch. The ranch has allowed me for the last year or so to sign out 2 boys every Saturday morning at 5 am to take them fishing. For some of them this has been their first time [...]
Homeless people are people too. We served 150 people with food and clothing as well as 60 personal care packages. If you have any old or new sleeping bags or backpacks we could use them. We also need volunteers to help in our clothes closet. We are looking for someone to help with the bookkeeping [...]
Our Good Neighbor Centers are still doing a great job serving the needy and hurting in our community. Our GNCs are in need of funds and food. The needs in Wichita are continually growing and all of our centers need your assistance. Many laid off workers in Wichita are running out of unemployment and we [...]
Over the past 9 years the overwhelming response to the question “What did you like most about the tournament?” has been “The Fellowship!” If you haven’t played in the tournament previously and you do play golf, sign up early. This is a “FELLOWSHIP” golf tournament with the primary purpose of developing fellowship among the churches [...]
The message of Easter is a message of hope. All who are dead in their transgressions and sin, can be made alive in Christ. This message is both our hope and our purpose. This message is our hope because we have been made alive. This message is our purpose because we have been called to share it with others. Those around us are searching. We can say to them, FinditHere.

Seventeen of us from Wichita went to the Rose Bowl parade outreach from December 30th to January 1st. We worked with 150 volunteers from around the country sharing the Gospel with people. We handed out over 30,000 tracts and saw numerous people give their life to Christ. Mark your calendar now to go with us [...]
The Evangelism training is going great. This week I am starting a class at one of our churches. This 4-6 week session is a combination between “Share Jesus Without Fear” and the “Evangecube”. I would love to come to your church to help train your people on evangelism and would be happy to schedule time [...]
Many times a newcomer in CR will ask me how long recovery will take. Many times I will respond “how long have you been trapped in your behavior?” Even though our hurts, habits and hang-ups do not develop over night, we hope that we can get through the process of breaking them with as little [...]
