VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

One Mission – Four Fields “You shall receive power when the

Holy Spirit has come upon you;

and you shall be My witnesses both

in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and

Samaria, and even to the remotest

part of the earth.” Acts 1:8

Jesus’ parting words in Acts 1:8 guide the mission of

First Baptist Church, Headland. Our mission is:

“Glorifying God by Knowing Christ and Making Him

Known”. We who know Jesus personally – by grace

alone through faith alone – are intentionally reaching

those who do not know Him with the gospel message.

Our witness of Who Jesus is and What He has done for

all people glorifies God!

We conduct our mission in these four fields:

Jerusalem: Headland, AL

Judea: The Wiregrass Area

Samaria: North America

Ends of the Earth: The Nations of the World

Presently, we are engaged in “Each One, Reach One”.

Every FBChristian is praying for one nearby person who

needs Jesus and His Church. Then each member is

extending an invitation card to this unsaved or

unchurched person welcoming them to our September

29th Worship Service. The tag count thus far from the

EORO board is 76. Have you committed to reaching

‘one’? Are you praying for this person? Have you

invited him or her? This is our calling brothers and

sisters. Let’s step out in faith and boldness to ‘Invite’ in

our Jerusalem!

Missions Sunday – September 15th

We are honored to host Daren and Shawna Davis this

coming Sunday! This veteran missionary couple leads

the Sub-Saharan Africa Affinity for our International

Missions Board. They provide oversight, direction and

support for hundreds of our missionaries on the African

continent south of the great Sahara Desert. Your gifts

through the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering support

their important ministry. Get this….Daren and Shawna

asked to come visit us! They want to fellowship and

worship with us! This is a tremendous honor you’ll not

want to miss! Take advantage of the opportunities to

connect with the Davises listed on the front of The

Clarion. You’ll be blessed to hear of God’s work at the

“Ends of the Earth”!

Dear FBC Staff and Church Members,

On behalf of our staff and students, I want to thank the

FBC staff and church members who donated school sup-

plies to our school for the students who need them. It

makes my heart smile knowing we have a community who

loves and shows love to our students in this way. I truly

take heart in the scripture verse, “I thank my God upon

every remembrance of you.” Philippians 1:3. I pray you all

will remember us in your prayers as we strive to make a

difference in the lives of our students.

In Christ, Linda Saffold

Headland Middle School Principal

FBC Staff and Members,

We want to express our abundant thanks for your generous

gift. High schools are often overlooked and dismissed but

your considerate supplies will go to help those students

who need supplies. Please continue to keep our school, our

teachers and staff, and our students in your prayers. We

truly feel them daily.

Thanks again, Headland High School

The Daniel Prayer Led by Lillian Mitchell; Book Fee: $10; Choir Room

Do you ever feel your prayers are anemic? Hollow? Best-

selling author Anne Graham Lotz looks at the life of Dan-

iel and unpacks the prayer he prayed in Daniel 9. Unlike

the everyday now-I-lay-me-down-to-sleep kind of prayer,

this was a prayer birthed under heartache…

grief...desperation. It was a plea for Heaven to move and

change his nation.
