Pray for Associational Missions May 13-19

 May 13-19, 2012 will be the Week of Prayer for Association Missions throughout the Southern Baptist Convention.  This week is an excellent time for HBA churches to focus their attention and prayers on the work of Hunt Baptist Association.  Now in its 127th year, Hunt Association has been helping its member churches fulfill the Great Commission.

   HBA is currently meeting the needs of churches in numerous ways.  Supporting local missions is an on-going priority for HBA, through regular financial support of Lake Lavon Baptist Encampment and the Baptist Student Ministries at Texas A & M University, Commerce, the annual Missions Celebration, support of four new churches, and partnerships with Community SEEDS and Raffa Clinic.

   HBA also helps connect likeminded church leaders, through our Pastors' Reading Groups, Pastors' Wives Fellowships, and ministry teams which enable children's workers, youth workers, collegiate workers, senior adults, and single adults to work together.

   Training events which focus on church strengthening and leadership development are offered throughout the year.  HBA assists ministers and churches as they go through staff search processes.  HBA also makes available numerous resources available to churches including training videos, A-V equipment, block party equipment, construction equipment, and the Paul Mathews Retreat Center.

  Pray for HBA  during the Week of Prayer for Association Missions,  May 13-19.
