This 1998 Annual of the Middle Florida Baptist Association is dedicated in memory of the many loyal, dedicated men and

women who have served Christ through their churches and our association in the past, and in honor of those who continue to serve Him in like manner today. The books of Heaven bear their names.

May we continue to serve in a way that will extend that list.

Discipleship Training There is no such thing as a perfect

disciple but, in John 15:7-14, Jesus gives us a glimpse of one. As He speaks of Himself being the true ville and His di s­ciples the branches, He describes five characteristics of true disciples:

· They remain or abide in Christ (v.7) · They bear fruit (v.8) · They are obedient to Him (v. I 0) · They have His joy (v.ll) · They love others (vv.12-!3) It's a picture of a transformed life,

and it is attainable by all believers. Paul adds more insight in Romans 12:2, we are not to allow any part of our life to be molded by the world, we are to be "being changed" into the image of God in Christ. This is the essence of disciple­ship. The greatest need in our churches today is to have our people; especially our teachers and leaders changing daily into the image of Jesus.

We are like a bottom line, so here it is: [or our folks to have a consuming passion to be like Jesus and be trans­formed into something they could not become on their own, they must become disciples. At some point they must com­mit to the journey of obedience which will affect their personal value system

and behavior, their family and church life and how they interface with the world. Discipleship is at the core ofleading our people to be energized to evangelize, to be restored to righteous and abundant living, and to be brought to the place of joyful and meaningful service. Paul says it be s tin his magnificent obsession (Phil. 3:8-12) " ... that I might know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering ... "

This last year Brother Kell from Quincy came and presented a DiscipleMart. Several churches were rep­resented as around a dozen were in at­tendance. The meeting formerly known a "M" Night was well attended as D.T. and Prayer and Spiritual Awakening combined efforts. Several D.T. directors attended the Key Leaders Workshop held at Faith and were introduced to many of the new products that Sunday School Board and LifeWay Press has available. As always, I am available for on site consultations and advice on how to "tweek" your D.T. ministry. Keep on keeping on as kingdom workers and carrying out the Commission or making disciples.

In His Service, Jeff Cordero

Pastoral Ministries Pastoral Ministries is about the great­

est need in the chureh today -LEADER­SHIP. Leadership has the ability to see the vision of pastoral ministries become reality. The definition of pastoral min­istries concerns the GUIDING, PRO­TECTING, FEEDING and NOURISH­ING of a church in order that the church may grow, develop and reproduce itself in the world. Little of this will happen unless there is leadership. Where hcalthy leadership is present thc people are obedient to God. This work is sup­ported by the Pastoral Ministries Depart­ment of the Florida Baptist Convention.

Woman's Missionary Union 1997-98 Our 1997-98 themc was "Come Go

With Me". Jesus invited the children to come to Him, His disciples to follow Him and believers to emulate Him. The challenge given to us is to extend His invitation to those outside the walls of thc church; to follow His example in ministry.

The Day of Prayer was observed at Faith Baptist Church in November. First Baptist ChUfCh, Madison hosted our Feb­ruary Rally with Jan Morris being our speaker sharing about her mission trip

to China. Cindy Goodwin was aUf spe­cial guest at our May Rally at Lee First.

We had a wonderful Prayer Retreat at Pickett Lake in April with Frances Shaw leading that retreat. A rally for Acteens was held at Elizabeth in May. Smiley, the Gospel Clown provided the program.

We also cnjoyed the joint Brother­hood/WMU Rally in July. Bobby Tolar did a great job of organizing that and Greenville did a splendid job of hosting it!

Bible Teaching-Reaching Report "Carry the Light" is the theme for

the Biblc Tcaching-Reaching ministry of the Baptist Sunday School Board for the years 1995-2000. Each of these years also has an emphasis. The emphasis fOf this church year (September 1998-Au­gust 1999) is "Seek God's Power", em­phasizing the necessity of God's power if we are to reach people for Christ.

One of the highlights of 1997 -98 was "Outreach: Magnified l Mobilized! Mul­tiplied!" hosted by Lee First Church; led by Clyde Ellison of Fernandina Beach; and attended by 120 people from 18 churches.

Our thanks to Mayo and Greenville churches who hosted Vacation Bible School clinics in April and May; total attendance was 158 from 18 churches. 22 churches reported conducting Vaca­tion Bible Schools with a total enroll­ment of 1700.

Music 1997-98 was a great year for music

in the Middle Florida Baptist Associa­tion. Because of capable leadership in all of the music areas the music activi­ties in om association remained success­ful.

OUf Adult Choir Festival was held on February 6. The Lord blessed us greatly with ~churehes . 175 choir members participaring . We were blessed and thrillcd by the spirit and message in the songs and vve left that night fired up and ready to sing: ror the Lord. Pam Cordero and Faith Baptist lead in this event.

Family Life The year 1997-98 was another year

of much activity, growth and ministry in the realm of the Family Life Depart­ment. The ever expanding need for fam­ily ministry in Florida as well as around the nation has motivared both churches

31

and associations to foeus more on the family, resulting in ever greater oppor­tunities and making family care a part of the life and rninistry 0[' the churches and associations in our state.

In (he coming year we will empha-

size a one-night program presentation entitled Growing Churches Through Family Ministry. In a dinner dialog set­ting, all program and family ministry materials will be presented to pastors and wives. or designated staff, enabling them to gain an awareness of how family min­istry can be used as a means of church growth as well as a ministry tool for changing the lives or families within their congregations and communities.

Conferences on the stalc level held at Lake Yale and Blue Springs Baptist Assemblies continue to be well attended. The Couples Renewal Retreats will be available again in early 1999. This grow­ing ministry offers worship time, work­~;h()ps for enrichment, fellowship with other couples, and training in marriage and family skills, as well as support groups to strengthen families with par­ticular problems.

.loan amI I had the privilege of help­ing conduct the couples renewal retre,lt [ilis past January at Blue Springs. The courses we helped introduce included: I) .l3uildilJgJ,{elationship..B. - learning and sharing the communication skills of marriage. 2) New Faces In The Fri'!.m.~ -examining marriage and parenting issues or blended families. 3) Ih.e Fi~~--L!)ve Languag§ - identifying your own love language as well as that of your spouse. Informative as well as enjoyable. We endeavor to offer more training and en­couragement in the area of parenting, feeling this is so needed in modern America. Early childhood education with a Christian foundation is the challenge of the day if we are to build stronger and more effecti ve families.

Several couples from our association attended the couples renewal retreat. We would like to encourage every couple no matter what age to attend the retreat in 1999 at Blue Springs. You will find it rewarding, refreshing and inspirational.

We will continue to offer training and encouragement in the area of parenting by emphasizing a new offering entitled Shaping the Next Generation as well as one entitled Building Strong Families. Early childhood education with a Chris­tian foundation is the challenge of the day if we are to build stronger and more effective families.

In 1999, the Family Life Department wil1 sponsor ,1 con ference on Christian Apologetics and Ethics emphasizing the need to understand current issues and seek answers needed by the church in facing loday's culture wars. We will also endeavor to address the need for pre­marital counseling by providing a plan Jnd training for pastors ancl swff mem­bers. This would be addressed through the Directors of Missions and associa­lions as they wish to develop this needed emphasis.

More time has been set ~side by the Family Life Department for consultation on the associationallevcl aod with local churches and pastors. We would like to be a part of your life and ministry. Let LIS serve you ancl let us work together to strengthen marriages and to be the families God would have us be. If Joan and I can help your church in any way this year, please let us know. May the ministry of every church honor God and strengthen families.

Brotherhood In preparntion for nssuming the du­

lies of Associalional Brotherhood Direc­tor at the beginning of the 1997··9R church year, 1 attended the Associational Leadership Planning Conference at Blue Springs on May 2, 1997. I also attended again this year on May 6, 199R. The BrOlherhood portion of these conferences

32

were led by James Brown, Director, Florida Baptist Men, Fritz Wilson, As­sociate Director and RA Director, and Wayne Taylor, Director of Volunteelism and Leisure Ministries.

On January 20, 1998, our first Asso­ciational Brotherhood Meeting of the year was held at Cherry Lake First Bap-

tist Church. The Director, Florida Bap­tist Men, Dr. James Brown, presented a program on "Men's Ministry in 3-D". There were 93 men, from 18 churches in attendance and an offering of $251.1 0 was given.

Brewer Lake Baptist Church was the site for our April 21, 1998 gathering. Elaine and Bill Newcomb, Mission Vol­unteer Team Leaders from Lake City told briefly about their work and had a dis­play set up for us to see. Philip Howell of New Home told of his mission expe­riences in Honduras and Wayne Sapp of Pinetta First shared his experiences in Haiti. The main speaker of the evening was Rev. Jimmy Deas, Pastor of Westwood Baptist Church in Live Oak. [-Ie told of his recent trip to China and described {he Chinese as "Such as sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, be­ing bound in affliction and iron" (Psalm 107:10). Men from 14 churches and 3 visitors were presem for an attendance of 84. There was an offering in the amount of $212.00

Greenville Baptist hosted our annual joint meeting of the Brotherhood and

WMU on July 21, 1998. Kelly Kinsey and Erika Scott gave a short talk on the preparations they were making for their upcoming {rip to Romania as Short Tenn International Missionaries with the Cam­pus Crusade for Christ International. Rev. Tom Kyzer. State Director for Prayer and Spiritual Awakening, brought a message on prayer from the life of Elisha that challenged and inspired. At the conclu­sion of the service Brother Kyzer led the congregation in prayer for Erika and Kelly, asking God's blessings on {heir mission to Romania. The 129 people present included 1 visitor and delega­dons from 14 churches. The offering for the evening was $246.31.

As you may remember, our special fund was deple{ed at {he July 1997 meeting. There has been no expenditures for the fund this year. The current bal­ance is $255.00 which is the total of this year's contributions.

I look forward to serving you in the next church year and hope to see all the churches of the association represented at Faith (my home church) for our next meeting on January 19, 1999.

Stewardship "A celebration of Joy" emphasizes

that there is joy in being a Christian and that our dedication to Christ will cause us joyfully to give our lives and posses­sions. "God loves a cheerful giver." (2 Corinthians 9:7)

People and ministries become the direct beneficiaries of our giving. Spe­cific budget items such as the Coopera­tive Program and your local association, enable your financial girts to implement the ministries of your church, associa­tion, state convention, and around the world.

The Stewardship Departmem is com­mitted to developing new and contem­porary methods and materials for your use. Among the NEW MATERIALS pre­sented to paswrs, church staff and lay­persons this year were: Stewardship ser-

mons Fill! Pockets alld Empty Hearts by Dr. John Sullivan. Benchmarks of Stew­ardship .Ministry in Florida. Building Blocks of Stewardship Development and Ministry Budgetillg, along with church stewardship committee helps, s{ewardship education, ideas, and estate stewardship material and a stewardship book, Until Then, which explores the apostle Paul's teachings on giving and contentment.

Challenge to Build: To date, the Stewardship Departmem has made avail­able ten trained consultants who have led 99 CHALLENGE TO BUILD (CTB) Campaigns in Florida Baptist Churches. In the last 12 months, J 3 churches have completed CTB programs, and two cam­paigns are presently in progress. In Middle Florida Baptist Association, three churches have comple{ed (CTB) pro-

grams and one is considering. When a church uses (CTB), it should expect spiritual renewal to occur in church members' lives and thousands of dollars to be saved in interest charges. Chal­lenge to build can be used in any size church in Florida.

In 1998-99, we have two very im­portant stewardship training sessions scheduled for pastors and churches. First: February 23, Ministers, Churches and

IRS. Second: Pastor's Stewardship Con­ference on May 25.

Stewardship in the spiritual growth and development of the individual child of God and in his church is such an important matler that Paul devoted two whole chapters (8 and 9) to it in 2 Corinthians. Stewardship includes your attitude, your viewpoint, the condition of your soul, the giving of your self and your possessions.

Annuity Geraldine Stokes

Associational Clerk

At his first meeting with employees, Annuity Board President, O.S. Hawkins challenged the staff to measure them­selves by the Biblical description of Israel's King David who served "with the integrity of his heart and skillful­ness of his hand."

Outstanding investment earnings and generous gifts in 1997 allowed Annuity

42

Board Trustees to enhance the quality of life for our Annuitants and Relief recipients_ Effective January I, 1998, nearly all of the 28,000 annuitants in pay status received a permanent 10% increase in benefits_ Relief benefits rose to $200 per month for individuals and $265 per month for couples. The Adopt An Annuitant benefit was raised 50%

from $50 to $75 each month. The Church Annuity Plan is the re­

tirement plan designed for pastors, other ministers and eligible employees. The Annuity Board in partnership with state convcntions administers it.

In 1997, the Annuity Board paid ov~r $300 million in retirement benefits. with­drawals and Relief 10 Southern Baptisl church and institutional employees. Un­fOltunatcly. nearly 10,000 retired minis­ters or their widows received no more that $200 a month in benefits. The An­nuity Board and statc annuity represen­tatives make vigorous educational and promotional efforts to encourage ad­equate contribmions to individual ac­counts, in the Church Annuity Plan and Convention Annuity Plan. Wc arc rc­minded by Jesus that the poor will al­ways be with us. These dear servants of yesterday must not be forgotten while we prepare for th~ tomorrows of current ministers and other staff members.

The Southern Baptist Convention Cooperative Program provides more than $1 million annually that is distributed in Relief payments to some 700 couples or individuals in desperate financial need. The Annuity Board adds an equal

amount from the Retired Ministers' Sup­port fund, and another $2.5 million in AdoptAn Annuitant benefits. Every eem given for Relief or Adopt An Annuitant finds its way to a needy person or couple. The Annuity Board is dependem on direct gifts from concerned individu­als and groups to provide about $3 in addition to each Cooperative Program dollar they receive. The Annuity Board paid more thm $106 million in insur­ance benefits last year, preventing finan­cial disasters to persons and families stricken with illness, disability, accident or death. No Cooperative Program money is used for Annuity Board op­erations.
