June Calendar

“What ever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might…” Eccl 9:10 It’s June! That means it’s time for FBC Seabrook to get busy! We begin our June Graduate recognition on the 3rd of June during the second service. This year’s graduates are as follows: Loralee Rowland and Chandler Williams from Clear Falls High School, Kross Langham from Clear View High School. Stephen Wall graduated from San Jacinto South with an Associates degree in Art and Design, and Rachel Woodworth graduates from Texas A&M Corpus Christi in August with a Masters degree in Environmental Science. Be sure to congratulate and pray for these young folks as they begin the next chapter of life! We then introduce this summer’s Everybody Bible Study on Wednesday, June 6th. This year we are doing an apolo-getics study by Ravi Zacharia and Vince Vitale titled, “Jesus among secular gods.” The summer studies are always a great time of discipleship and fellowship. Please join us! VBS is up next! After months of preparation VBS starts Monday, June 11th. It’s all hands on deck for our annual all-day VBS outreach. Please be in continuous prayer for the students, the staff and volunteers, the facilities. If you have the opportunity please drop by for a visit during the week and see God at work! Each summer we send a select group of youth to Super Summer. This year Taylor Martinez, Joe Miller and Nicholas Woleben will be attending June 18th-22nd. Jamie Woleben will be adult chaperone. The testimonies after Super Summer are always a blessing and I can’t wait to hear what God does in these young people’s lives! Take a breath – The church is sending 12 missionaries to Darrington, Washington on June 23rd. They will be assisting Mountain View Baptist Church with their VBS and will be working in local communities with a church planting team. Our prayer is this trip leads us to a partner relationship with a church for ministry in the Northwest. The team members are Pastor Rob, KC and Karen Broyles, Ashley and Evelyn VanDerbeck (Evelyn is our youngest missionary at 3 years old!), Michelle Hazlett, Dale Huls and the Woleben Five! (that’s Bill, Jamie, Nicholas, Benjamin and Isaac) The team re-turns on the 30th. Obviously, none of this is possible without the prayer and financial support of the church. Thank you, FBC Seabrook, for being a church that takes seriously the Great Commission and our goal to be a complete Acts 1:8 church with ministry locally (Jerusalem), in the state (Judea), in North America (Samaria) and internationally (to the ends of the earth). Acts 1:8 New King James Version (NKJV) 8But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusa-lem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” God bless, Pastor Rob

June 2018 Lamplight – Good News at Gate B-7 A little over a week ago, I traveled to South Carolina to attend a family funeral. The moments spent with family flew by quickly and before I knew it I was back at the airport awaiting my flight home.

The atmosphere at the crowded airport was far from dull. I arrived several hours early, and since I had nothing else to do, I found a good spectator seat. So many people. So many stories.

My seat was near a busy charging station where people recharged their electronic devices. I considered adding my phone to the mix, but other people moved faster than me.

At one point a man entered the area and deftly secured a charging slot. He plugged in his phone and then sat down in the seat next to me. I continued watching people until I realized the man was speaking to me.

He asked, “Can I ask you a question?”

I said, “Yes.”

He asked, “Have you ever accepted the free gift of eternal life that God provides through his Son, Jesus Christ?”

I smiled at the bold stranger and replied, “Yes, I have.”

He ventured on... “It would be wrong of me if I didn’t make sure you really understand my question. Can you tell me when you made the decision to follow Jesus?”

“Thanks for caring,” I responded. Then I assured him that my decision to follow Jesus was a real event in my life.

Once he was confident that I was his sister in Christ, we talked for a few minutes about his evangelistic ministry. He explained to me that he travels a lot and tries to share the Gospel in every airport. After our brief conversation, he prayed for me and then moved on to the person in the next seat.

It’s hard to explain, but I experienced both conviction and blessing as I witnessed this man boldly answer God’s call on his life. In the airport there were so many people with so many stories… but this man obediently shared the story of stories with anyone who would listen.

Then and there at Gate B-7, the words of Matthew 24:12-14 suddenly became three-dimensional…

Sin will be rampant everywhere and will cool the love of many. But those enduring to the end shall be saved. And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it, and then, finally, the end will come.

Whether we like it or not, this is our reality. We do live in a world rampant with sin. We live in a world where school children flee from bullets. We live in a world where we hesitate to show love to strangers. We live in a dark world where lost people need the light of Jesus to show them the way.

But in that moment, there at Gate B-7, this man lived God’s Calling. He let the light of Jesus shine through him so brightly that peo-ple could not resist his queries. He freely shared the Gospel of Jesus and prayed for his fellow travelers. Afterwards, he boarded his flight. I can’t help but wonder about the people who sat next to him on the airplane. May we all be as bold in sharing the Gospel with all who will listen!

Remember this… you are loved, and you are always in my prayers. In Christ, Cheryl
