Dear Mission Committee:
We received the supplies from FBC LaFollette yesterday. We are so
grateful and touched that you picked us for support. Yes, the supplies
have come in at a much needed time and we are looking forward to using
them as ministry tools in Clarkston.
Please keep us in your prayers as we reach out to the lost.
God bless you and your church,

Dear Church Family:
Thank you for being so generous in your giving of supplies and gift
cards to our Christmas in August project. A large box was shipped to
each missionary this week and should be received Friday, August 25. You
were very generous in your monetary and gift card donations to Helen
Wilson and she is very appreciative of every kindness extended to her.
Please continue to remember her and her husband as she continues to
recuperate from her broken ankle.

A group went on a mission trip to Romania in the summer of 1995 accompanied by our new youth director, Joe Samples.
A group led by Wesley Caldwell went to Romania in July 1996, to help with the building of a church. Money had been given by various members to buy bricks for this.

The Rev. Robert F. Brown, a native of
Knoxville and pastor of First Baptist Church of LaFollette, will lead a
mission team to Wollongong, Australia, Wednesday through Aug 12, 1991.
Others on the team include his wife, Linnie;
Larry Smith, publisher of The LaFollette Press, and his wife, Julia; and
Ray and Joyce Brumbaugh of LaFollette.
Mission '91 is a cooperative effort among
the Baptist churches in New South Wales, Australia, and the Foreign
Mission Board of the Southern Baptist Convention. There will be 16 other
teams from the United States working at various sites down under.
Brown will be speaking at several services
during the visit at Wollongong Baptist Church, which averages 160 in
Sunday morning services. The church also offers a service in Spanish for
about 20 persons and another in Greek for about 10 each Sunday.
Other team members will speak in schools,
civic clubs and in the homes of church members.
The town, just south of Sydney and on the
east coast of Australia has coal mining, a large steel mill, a
university, a fishing industry and tourism. Its population is 250,000,
the third largest in New South Wales, and comparable to Knoxville's

HUMAN NEEDS
Courage we need for this life of ours,
Courage, calmness, power;
Glee in the present which children own,
Hope for the coming hour.
Underneath, and all the time,
A warm pulse, beating
To Nature's beauty, loved one's rhythm,
The springtime urge repeating.
What will give us courage deep,
Joy in the things that are?
The true and lasting love of friends
For us, will go most far.
Madeline Benedict
Our Church family met this "human need" and your
true love that was and is being shown to us will "go most far." We have
been blessed in so many ways.
With Sincere thanks!
love, Jack & Dorathy

VICTORY
SUNDAY CERTAINLY WAS
Victory Day at First Baptist Church. Because we are committed to fulfilling the Great Commission, we had 467 in Bible Study and near 600 in the morning worship service.
WE HAVE SEEN
with our own eyes that God will honor the prayers and the labors of His people when they are motivated by love and compassion.
TOGETHERNESS WAS THE KEY
It is what we do together that counts. Working together, praying together and believing together will bear fruit worthy of His name.
I PRAISE THE LORD
for what happened here at "good ole" First Baptist. I playfully encourage you to be present again this Sunday with a guest by your side. Let's do it to glorify the Lord!!
I THANK YOU
from the depths of my heart for your efforts these past 6 weeks for "Miracle Day", and Miracle Day it was.
