"Missions is not just a program of the church but a spontaneous relationship with God."
Henry Blackaby
Our desire is that people would have a built-in lifestyle relationship with God through his only begotten Son Jesus Christ... that they would see their spiritual need and respond to him in obedience and service. Jesus said in John 13:34-35 - we are to love God and love our neighbor as ourselves. To me that means that telling others should be a natural outcome of who we are and whose we are. They are spiritually dead and need a Savior. We are to love others more than we love ourselves. The more we love them, before long they will ask us why we act that way and why we care.
We see how Jesus affected the lifestyles of people in the Bible. Peter's lifestyle relationship with Jesus caused him to spontaneously walk on water, to run to the tomb, to jump out of the boat and swim to Jesus after the huge catch of fish at the Sea of Galilee after the resurrection.

CHURCH WEBSITE UPDATES...
Livi Cate Osborne, recipient of AWBC scholarship to MC for 2023 is a native of Birmingham, is a Freshman at MC this year, and has shared with us her call to serve the Lord in the ministry of missions. I have posted it along with her picture. Continue to remember her in your prayers as she continues to follow the Lord's will for her life day by day.
Brother Steve’s sermons and messages are posted weekly. Yesterday's message about making "My heart - God's Home" is already posted. His messages are in outline form with some illustrations as best as I can remember.
Would you consider sharing your testimony of how you came to trust Jesus as your Savior and Lord? I would love to include your testimony on that page.
Look around the church website and see some of the activities of AWBC, which include pictures of recent events.
ALSO! Cindy Hamil, Billy and Peggy Robert's daughter, has added a page to the website that has all the AWBC Pictorial Church Directories, going back as far as she can find the directories. Again
if you will go to the right in the menu bar at the top and click on more, you will find them listed as Photo Directories. Some go as far back as the early 1970's. Thanks again, Cindy.
Prayer meeting group lunch is rescheduled to October 11!
