Bethel Baptist Church never encountered a challenge like this before. The church accepted an invitation to participate in a mission in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Making an appearance in a foreign environment terrified both adolescents and adults. Even with those uneasy feelings, the congregation quickly zeroed in on the goal at hand in spreading God’s love to this needy region. With events such as church cleanup, food ministry, and disaster relief, the church left with a greater appreciation of life, and how lucky many of the citizens in the United States truly are.

Coaching the Del City Bible Quiz team has been a life-changing experience from the beginning. When I founded the team in early April, my father, a pastor, was nearing the end of his eight-month transition from senior pastor to interim pastor to layperson.

Within three months of my great uncle’s death the Church District arranged a series of seminars held on Saturdays and mandated that each church send suitable people to be trained in ministry. Among the subjects taught was systematic theology and homiletics and for about 6 months I along with two others from my church attended every Saturday. Through this system I improved enormously and preached not just locally but in the zone and my confidence grew exponentially. Remembering what the voice had said "Why didn’t you do it? " I threw myself into local evangelism and preached at open-air meetings, went door to door and generally became quite active in the local church and the zone.

Faith is believing there is light when all one can see is darkness. Throughout Hamlet, Shakespeare uses belief as a guiding force for his characters. They are defined by their faith, or lack thereof, and their beliefs lead many of their actions. In this time period, so many people had horrible lives, faith in an afterlife was the only hope in which to keep living. The concept of an afterlife based on how one behaved in life is a defining characteristic of many religions, and Shakespeare uses this belief as the ultimate decision-maker in many character’s actions.

“Faith is a house with many rooms.” “But no room for doubt?” “Oh plenty, on every floor. Doubt is useful, it keeps faith a living thing. After all, you cannot know the strength of your faith until it is tested”

Almost everyone in our youth division was relocated to another site within the same church system and only a handful of us were left in the youth division. Every Sunday we would only have small group discussion and no worship or sermons. I expected myself to welcome the change since there would be so much more free time, but after a week, I felt an uncomfortable feeling deep inside of me.

Mr. Bradbury hired Fanny Crosby not only for her “light and informal,” poetry and hymns, but also for her simplistic hymnals. Fanny Crosby’s contribution in hymns was simple, heartfelt, and Fanny Crosby: Love Over Ailment 3 Christ centered. Through her work, many people were saved. In her book, Fanny relays one of these salvation stories: Rescue the Perishing’, as I have intimated, was written after a meeting at one of the New York missions. Sometime after the hymn became known I was at a service one evening and a young man told the story of his conversion.

Thomas had only to see and touch to have a renewed sense of faith. His doubt led to one of the strongest beliefs in the New

I actualized the essence of life by changing thoughts discourteous people and murders and captured memories of past and enjoyment of the current. God's grace remains sufficient, I thought. It was grace that brought Big Guy into the church five years prior to being murdered on the streets where only a few years before he had been “kingpin” and a non-believer. I recalled the day of his salvation, when he said: “Man, I want to learn like you and before I die have the right relationship with God. Man, I should have been dead and it is just a matter of time.

For the first time in my life I was unapologetically myself.
