A friend of mine is beginning to look at colleges for his daughter. So far he’s looked at BJU and Master’s College [CA: , but he was asking me if there were others I’d recommend. He also wanted to know about Liberty and poss. Word of Life. Does anyone have any other suggestions or info about the last two schools?

The potential student is NOT heading for F/T Ministry…they’re thinking about Math or Accounting.

Excerpt:

What Sunday School curriculum does your church use? Do you like it? Why, or why not?

My husband and I have recently been appointed by our pastor as the Children’s Ministry Coordinators of our small Baptist Church. The church has used Regular Baptist Press in the past, but hasn’t used much of anything for a while. We would appreciate any input regarding the selection of curriculum - should we stay with RBP? Is there anything better?

Thanks!

I believe that most people on SI are probably Baptist by Belief and would whole heatedly consider themselves Baptists. They attend Baptist churches and they have in their church a constitution framed around the Baptist Distintives. My question is without the purpose of causing a stir, but rather to think of the effectiveness of church names. What would you put on your church sign at the end of the day if you were planting a church? Would you put your church name as _________ Baptist Church or would you put it as something else.

Any ideas for keeping kids coming to your youth ministries over the summer? When I was a teen the fondest memories of youth group came from the summer ministries. Summer seems to open up a lot of doors for outreach and discipleship. But apparently, out here in Denver, the summer ministries really struggle in attendance and involvement. Our attendance has been MORE THAN CUT IN HALF over the summer. And the teens that do come are different every week.

Greetings from sunny Brazil!

I have the honor of serving with BMM in northeast Brazil. One of my tasks is to encourage young people to consider joining us here in our ministry. If you know of anybody who is seriously considering missions, could you point them to a Facebook community we have started? It is called “Future Missionaries to Brazil”, and it is designed to be a place where prospective missionaries can ask questions and get feedback from “real, live missionaries”. Below is the url for that group.

I was just wondering if anyone had a copy of the song “In my Weakness”. It is out of print, but a friend of my would really like to sing it in church! The song is off the CD “A Quiet Heart” from the Wilds. If anyone has it I would be willing to pay for it and for the shipping it would take to mail to my house. Thanks!
