SULPHUR – First Baptist Church members Love Out Loud locally and across the globe. It’s a “doing for others” ministry that includes the church converting its bus barn into an auto repair shop, helping a widow saddled with a decrepit home, and being aware of missions/ministry opportunities as the Lake Charles area booms with construction and energy-related jobs.
This of course is in addition to the giving of more than 10 percent to missions through the Cooperative Program and other missions giving, including seasonal offerings, and other missions-related activity across North America and the world.
David Holder is senior pastor.
“Many of these laborers [coming in locally] will be here a short time,” said Missions Pastor Tom Bruce. “We have a limited window of opportunity to reach men, women and children, and send them back out as missionaries. If we are ready for them, our impact for the Kingdom of Christ can extend outside our community and have a lasting impact on the world.”
