ATTENTION PROSPECTIVE FIRST-YEAR STUDENTS
 
DO YOU NEED FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE?
 
IF SO, WE INVITE YOU TO CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION!
 
 
 
FIRST MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCH
 
FRESHMAN GRANT
 
      First Missionary Baptist Church of Hodges, AL, has been blessed over the years to
 
have had three pastors who have either been a student at or have served as an
 
instructor at Oxford Baptist Institute. We recognize the value of a quality Christian
 
education; therefore we wanted to have a larger part in helping a God-called man get
 
his start down that road.
 
 
      Under the leadership of current pastor, Dr. Marty Guidry, the members of First
 
MBC voted to furnish a $500 grant that will go toward books and school fees for the
 
freshman- year of an incoming ministerial student. It is also our desire that the
 
recipient of this grant be a man who is completely committed to his Lord and Savior
 
, Jesus Christ, his call to preach, and his desire to receive a Bible education from
 
Oxford Baptist Institute. He must be a man who is faithful to his family, the church he
 
pastors, or the church where he holds membership; and he must be of high moral
 
character.  We at First MBC feel it is very important to be good stewards of what God
 
has entrusted to us, therefore we feel these qualifications are essential.
 
 
      If you feel you meet all of these qualifications, please contact Pastor Marty Guidry

We had a great rally!    We appreciate so much Pleasant Valley MBC and Pastor Wysocki for giving of

their time to host this annual event for the benefit of Oxford Baptist Institute.

As you can see, our receipt total is only slightly over half of what we need.

I know times are difficult and the devastating economy is affecting most all churches and individuals;

some more than others.

The storm may be big, but God is bigger than the storm.  He knows what we need.

Will you prayerfully consider giving toward our $30,000 goal.

We are truly grateful for those who have given thus far, and we are trusting God for the rest.

God bless you and keep you as you continue to serve the Master.

--Brother Ron--

SPECIAL FRIEND PAYS US A VISIT!

 

   On Monday and Tuesday, March 15th and 16th, we were privileged to have with us Missionary Ernie

 

Hopper.  He preached in chapel on Tuesday and gave us an update

 

on his work in Africa.  

 

   It's always great to see Brother Hopper and to enjoy his

 

fellowship.   He and his family are always in need of your prayers as

 

they travel and serve here and abroad.  May their needs be met and

 

may God keep them safe.

GREAT TIME ENJOYED DURING

 

2010 SCHOOL RALLY!

 

Contribution Total to Date is

 

$17,798.07

 

 

      First, we thank Pleasant Valley Baptist Church and Pastor Philip Wysocki for their hard work and sacrifice in order to host this year’s school rally.  What a wonderful time we enjoyed provided by such a gracious host.  The program was great and the fellowship was warm.  To see so many friends and family there was a blessing.   Thank you, Brother Stapleton, for delivering such a wonderful message.

      And then there was that fabulous meal!  Wow!  God bless all those who had a part in preparing and serving such a wonderful feast. 

      Special recognition go to Pastor Philip Wysocki, Brother Mike Smith, and Sister Freda Provence for their work preparing  and mailing the letters and posters in order to get the word out about this annual event. 

      Receipts thus far total $17,798.07.  This is slightly over half of what we need in order to reach our $30,000 goal.  For those of you who still want to send an offering, the address here at the school is 2885 South Lamar Blvd., Oxford, MS 38655.  Please make sure that your check is marked “2010 School Rally.” 

      The project that will be undertaken as soon as the funds are available is the updating of handicap facilities.  This is an update that has been needed for quite some time, and it will take every penny of the $30,000 (and maybe more) to complete the task. 

      We need your help and we’re not too proud to beg.  God knows what is required and He knows who can provide.  We pray your heart will be touched as you prayerfully consider this need. 

      Our thanks go out, as well, to all of the churches who have so graciously hosted the OBI Annual School Rally over the years. The first rally was held in 1985, hosted by Pinecrest Baptist Church in Corinth, MS.  Then OBI President Wayne Boyles and Pastor Carroll Kinley had a vision.  That vision and the funds it has generated have made possible many things that otherwise might not have been possible.  God’s people stepped up and we thank Him for you every day.                 --Oxford Baptist Institute       

 

 

Visit again on Friday to view pictures taken at the rally!
