The church is made up of individuals who sacrifice and serve to fulfill God’s agenda. Each member has a significant role to play in building God’s Kingdom. For example, we just completed one of the biggest Vacation Bible Schools we have had in years. The work load was huge, but the number of workers helped make it manageable. The children learned timeless principles about God’s love, holiness and faithfulness. They learned about Jesus’ sacrifice, compassion and forgiveness. They learned about the curse of sin, the cost of sin, and the cure of sin. Every single VBS helper, teacher, cook, cleaner and server was instrumental in sowing the gospel and God’s Word into the soil of every child. Several children took steps toward a public confession of Jesus as their Savior. Other seeds of truth will be cultivated and nurtured by parents, grandparents, great-grandparents, Sunday school teachers, fellow church members and staff. How wonderful to see God at work bringing children unto himself. Salvation is a miracle. Salvation is amazing. Let us not forget our main business as a church is to share the gospel, and live the gospel! People are looking and searching for help, hope, and healing. God has put the church in the world to help people, to provide hope, and to bring healing through Jesus. Thank you VBS workers! Thank you for serving our Lord and sharing the greatest news ever. As Paul said in I Thessalonians, “How can we thank God enough for you?” Yes the nights were long, the temperature hot, the kids wild, the schedule trying, the patience thin, the numbers huge, but the gospel is worth it all! So dear member of Mt. Sinai. In what capacity are you involved in ministry? How are you serving the Lord in the local church? God has given you everything you need to glorify Him and serve others. Don’t miss the wonder and extreme joy of being used by God. He will gladly use you to build His Kingdom and fulfill His purposes. Take a moment right now. Stop and ask God to show you where He’s working around you. Be attentive – be available and abide in Christ and your days will be exciting and your eternity rewarding to all of you laboring in the Lord and to those of you ready to start. Let me say it again from the depths of my heart, how can we thank God enough for you! August Birthdays All Praise Rise!

Lafayette St. Shelby, NC 2815 Mt. Sinai Baptist Church YOUTH NEWS… “Are we keepers of the aquarium or are we fishers of men?” Jesus tells His followers that they would be fishers of men, if they chose to follow Him. Matthew records the words of Jesus as saying to His followers, “Go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Again in Acts just before Jesus ascends into heaven He tells His followers that they would be His witnesses telling people about Himself everywhere. All through the book of Acts we see the followers of Jesus preaching and teaching in His name, leaving their homes to share the good news of Jesus Christ. We too have the job of telling others, everyone everywhere about Jesus. Jesus brings new life to all who truly trust Him and follow Him. Nowhere in God’s Word are we told to stay in the aquarium, but rather to be out fishing for men for the sake of the kingdom. That is exactly what the Wisconsin Mission trip was all about; telling others about Jesus! I hope that you will come out on August 14 to hear about what God is doing in Wisconsin. Our team saw some awesome things done by God and we want to share with you. Our prayer is that you are true followers of Christ and are fishers of men for the kingdom!
