Each September, we ask that churches across NC prayerfully consider participating in the 19 ministries of Baptists on Mission through the NC Missions Offering (NCMO). This offering provides the entire regular budget for Baptists on Mission, about half of the church planting budget for NC, and returns 10% of the offering to local Associations to use as God leads. Some churches think that their Cooperative Program (CP) gifts provide the funding for Baptists on Mission’s ministries like Disaster Relief and Rebuild, but CP funds do not provide the budget for Baptists on Mission. Please encourage your church to promote the NCMO and offer relief for today and hope for tomorrow.
The time to begin promoting the NC Missions Offering is now! Below is a link and a video that help tell the story of how medical missions through Baptists on Mission changes lives around the world.

We are looking forward to LoveLOUD 2022, and we hope each of our churches will choose to participate. If your church would like to feed the staff of one of our local schools the week of August 22-26 (Chick-fil-A will be cooking the food), please call our CRBA office and claim the school that you wish to serve. The church’s
responsibility will be to pick up the food from Chick-fil-A on the date and time assigned (the church will be responsible for paying for the food), deliver it to the school, and serve it if allowed. This is an excellent opportunity for your church to be involved in missions in our own community. Call today!
Our current unclaimed schools are:
Auxiliary Services (65 staff)
Olive Hill Resource Center (25 staff)

We are excited to announce we will be hosting Mission Fair 2022 at this year’s Fall Meeting/Worship Celebration at Mount Home on October 23rd. At Mission Fair 2022, we will have missionaries (local, state, national, and IMB), as well as mission partners present to bless and help our churches. Additionally, we are excited to provide an opportunity for each of our CRBA churches to have a table where they can exhibit their ministries and mission involvement to brag about what Jesus is
doing in and through our churches. If your church would like to have a table/exhibit, please contact our CRBA office to RSVP. In addition to all the helpful exhibits, desserts will be served.
We are excited we will be taking a team to Kisumu, Kenya, this November. We will be building homes for those in need, which will also be used for Bible Studies and
Church Plants. In addition to providing homes, there will be opportunities for personal evangelism, prayer walking, preaching, and teaching. The cost is approximately $2,400 (cost may vary due to rising fuel prices). For more information and to register, please call our CRBA office.
The deadline to sign up with a $500 deposit is August 15th.

Invite Teachers to Church for a Special Service
Creative idea from PushPay
To kick off the school year, consider preparing a special service to honor and lift up teachers in your community. You could share a sermon about God’s heart for kids and the importance of teaching, loving, and supporting them. But you could also keep it simple and have a special time of prayer acknowledging the important role teachers have in your community and the world, and then serve them food and spend time with them after the service.
For more creative ideas, please go to www.crbanc.org/creative-ministry-ideas/.
