GPS: God’s Plan for Sharing

We often hear about the Great Commission from the pulpit or during a Bible study lesson. Do you ever wonder what it would take t o s e e t h e G r e a t Commission fulfilled? As believers we realize the fact that people die e ve r yday ou t s ide a relationship with Jesus Christ. And it’s a challenge, to say the least, to get believers inspired enough to simply share their faith. But Southern Baptists have developed a vision to accomplish this. It is called God’s Plan for

Sharing —- an opportunity for every person to hear and respond to the gospel by 2020. FBCH has set a 210 target goal for 2010 . . . 210 people for Jesus during 2010. This is not a goal that is beyond our capabilities and certainly should not be a goal beyond our heart’s desire. Anyone who knows Jesus wants to see others come to know Him as well. Plans have been made for FBCH to be part of this great vision. What’s involved?

• Praying • Equipping • Sowing • Harvesting You can read about the plans inside this edition. There you will find information about activities and events in which FBCH will engage to reach out to the lost in our community. Think about it. How will you participate?

The Sewing Fellowship is very busy integrating some of MOPS ladies into the world of sewing. Child care is now available from 9:00 am until 11:00 am for children 5 years old and younger so that young

mothers can come and participate in the Sewing Fellowship. There is a lot of excitement and a lot of activity going on. The ladies are

learning many things from how to prepare material for use, cutting, fitting, sewing, pressing, and how to use their machines to create the

many products we distribute to the community . . . . all while enjoying the fellowship and refreshments of the day.

The Sewing Fellowship meets every 2nd and 4th Tuesday of the month from 8:00 am until 12:00 pm

in rooms 109 and 110. For more info about the Sewing Fellowship,

As many as three out of four people die in North America without a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As Southern Baptists, we believe Scripture has provided a simple roadmap for change. With every believer sharing, every person should have an opportunity to hear and respond to the gospel by the year 2020.

We call it GPS: God's Plan for Sharing. Praying —- Engaging —- Sowing —- Harvesting

INTENT The intent is to engage every people group in North America with the good news. For us that means we start in our own community. For us it means we have set a goal to reach 210 people for Jesus in 2010.

FRAMEWORK The framework is designed to produce consistency in every participating Southern Baptist church, association and state convention across North America. We have set into motion the necessary steps to begin reaching people in our community. We have already been praying specifically for our area of concentration —- those in a 1 mile radius of the church and “our” individual neighborhoods. Prayer is essential to the accomplishment of our goal. We prayed all throughout the month of February during the Wednesday evening prayer time. We ask that you continue to pray and be a vital part of FBCH bringing Christ to the streets of Hesperia.

We have been blessed with a skillful and talented core group of people to advance our efforts in this cause to reach Hesperia for Christ. They include:

DeWayne Williams - GPS Coordinator Gloria Stockstill - Prayer Coordinator Rita Amos - Home Prayer Groups Coordinator Bill Trott - Prayer Driving Groups Coordinator Lou Osborne - Prayer Walking Groups Coordinator Ken Kiner - Visitation and Follow-up Coordinator Pastor Bob Grissom - Administrative Coordinator Don Parker - Distribution Coordinator Ed Adams - Witness Training Coordinator

The following steps have been initiated to facilitate our efforts in this cause to reach Hesperia for Christ —- • We are mobilizing our church to pray intensely for all lost people in our community and making an effort to reach those in

our target area with the gospel and information about our church. • We are providing you, the body of Christ at FBCH, opportunities for training and equipping yourselves for witnessing and

evangelism. This training is required for all who plan to serve in some capacity so there will be uniformity in our witnessing and evangelistic efforts in our targeted area. If you have not been in a training session, please contact Ed Adams.

• We are updating our informational materials and making sure that our facility looks its best for company. • There will be a push to distribute literature from both the North American Mission Board and FBCH which will include an

invitation for all in our targeted area to bring their families to an Easter egg hunt on Saturday, April 3rd, at our church with an emphasis on getting them to attend Easter worship services with us on Sunday, April 4th. We believe, if we are diligent and faithful in our efforts, many lost people will be with us on Easter Sunday. We plan to take full advantage of this time to clearly present the gospel and provide an opportunity for people to respond.

• Following the Easter season, we plan to celebrate with baptisms, reflect on changed lives, rejoice in the revival experienced in our community and praise God for the number of believers who were trained in evangelism. And we will continue to pray that God will extend this transformation in our hearts, through our church and into our community.

As you can tell, the foundation is in place for us to have “every believer sharing and every person hearing” the gospel. Ultimately it is you who will determine the success or failure of GPS. To quote J. Hudson Taylor, “We have heard of many people who have trusted God too little, but have you ever heard of anyone who trusted Him too much?” You are encouraged to be a part of this exceptional evangelistic effort. Look at the many opportunities to serve in areas of critical need and allow God to lead you to serve in some capacity. Contact one of the coordinators listed above and get involved. These are our homes and our streets . . . this is our Jerusalem . . . this is our commission!

In 2006 I opened one of my kitchen cabinet doors and the door fell off into my hands. I stared at the door dumbfounded. My husband and I had been discussing the need to put on new cabinet doors, just for appearance sake, and now it appeared that merely replacing the doors wasn’t going to be enough. We needed an entire cabinet replacement. We had seen the need for the upgrade, but had made no move toward meeting that need. Now the need had intensified. We could wait no longer. This year I have chosen the theme Remodeling 2010 for our Women’s Ministry theme. I have found some parallels in my spiritual life with my 2006 kitchen remodel. I would like to share some of those parallels with you. 1 —- You must see the NEED for remodeling and be desirous of seeing the imperfections changed. You must see the need for spiritual change and desire that change. Are there some areas in your spiritual walk that you think need some work? Have you been putting off that work? 2 —- You must look carefully at the COST of change. You must be willing to accept the complexities of change. We had procrastinated putting on new cabinet doors largely due to the fact that we just did not want to spend our money in that direction at that time. In the long run, it cost us way more money to wait because we ended up having to not only replace the doors, we had to redo the entire kitchen!

3 —- You must have a PLAN for the project c r e a t e d b y a knowledgeable person. Our on ly p lan i n remodeling our kitchen was to replace cabinets. When we pulled the cabinets off, the sheetrock came with it. If we had had a plan for remodeling the kitchen, we would never have done the whole kitchen at once! Our

remodel changed as we went along because there was no plan. Recognize that completion comes not from self-effort but from the assistance of the “Source” (Holy Spirit). God’s Spirit will reveal to you the areas HE would like remodeled, if you will but take the time to ask Him. 4 —- Get rid of CLUTTER before construction begins. What things hinder your growth? 5 —- Make sure MAIN BEAMS are not compromised. See to the basics: B ib le s t udy , prayer , chu r ch attendance. Many want remodeling to happen in their lives without paying attention to the three basic things God always asks of his children first. 7 —- Be PASSIONATE about the project to withstand the difficulties. A half-hearted attitude will not get the job done. You have to be hungry for righteousness, passionate about seeing God’s way, willing to pursue wholeheartedly. Nothing beats doing things God’s way! You also should deal with one issue at a time, patiently. Don’t get overwhelmed. 8 —- You should have an ATTITUDE of patient growth, making a conscious decision to work on it week by week. You must set spiritual goals and work at them day by day, week by week. 9 —- Remodeling is a DIFFICULT PROCESS – one of tearing down and building up – and you must not just tear down, but you must replace the old with beautiful materials and plans. When we tried to put in a new ceiling light, the ceiling fell in. This house was 40 years old and no one had replaced anything in all that time. The old had to be removed. Tear down

old attitudes and patterns and replace them with godly attitudes and patterns. You have built up many bad habits and patterns that need to be replaced. You can never have an attitude of “God made me this way, so just accept it”. God has a plan for each of us and it is a plan for good and not evil. 10 —- You must be in CONSTANT DIALOUGE with the builder. You will never be able to accomplish this task on your own. You absolutely must be in dialogue with the God who passionately loves us to do this remarkable remodeling. This requires quality time. Write down your goals and pray over them. Allow God to mold and shape them as He works His excellent plan for your life through God-devised change, not man-devised. Satan is subtle, and we can get sidetracked by non-trained builders (wrong counselors) and take a direction not biblically founded.

You need to also keep your final goal in mind, always before you to avoid distraction. Bring honor and glory to the Master Builder. Keep your goal ever before you. Rehearse it often. God is a God of order. He is not a God of chaos. It is our responsibility to take whatever steps we must take to bring order to our lives. He has a job for each of us to do and not being organized costs us time, precious time, that He wants to use in productive ways. As you calendar your year, make some goals for life improvement. Map out how to achieve those goals. Discuss them with the God who loves you and created you. Allow Him the opportunity to grow you into the beautiful woman He wants you to be. Allow Him to remodel whatever He deems best. Remember Philippians 1:6 that He who began a good work in you will be faithful to complete that work. Let’s have a wonderful 2010!

“Nothing beats doing things God’s way!”

. . . FOR THEY SHALL SEE GOD. MATT. 5:8 “They only saw Jesus —- and then but the outside Jesus, or a little more. They were not pure in heart . . . . They saw Him with their eyes, but not with those eyes which alone can see God . . . The thought-eyes, the truth-eyes, the love-eyes can see Him.”

—- George Macdonald

Christ risen was rarely recognized by sight. They had to get beyond the way he looked. Evidence stronger than his voice and face and footstep waited to grow in them, to guide their groping out of despair, their stretching toward belief. We are as blind as they until the opening of our deeper eyes shows us the hands that bless and break our bread, until we finger wounds that tell our healing, or witness a miracle of fish, dawn-caught after our long night of empty nets. Handling his word we feel his flesh, his bones, and hear his voice saying our early-morning name.

EASTER 2010EASTER 2010

When one decides to take on a remodeling job, you must have a plan in mind. Before you can build a supply list, you will need to know what you are going to do and how you want it to turn out. You will have a

drawing or a blueprint that will give you all your exact dimensions, maybe a contractor will help you or you might just do the work yourself. Either way, you will have some things to complete before you can begin.

To plan a “remodel”, whether it is an actual building or just one’s personal life, we must dedicate ourselves to a few strategies that will help us along the way. Our children should be taught these while they are young; the earlier they can learn their importance, the more success they will achieve both personal ly and profess ional ly throughout their lifetime.

Discipline, in essence, is the training of the mind or character; it comes from the Latin root-word “disciple”: meaning, a believer in the thought and teaching of a leader; to teach, train and educate. Everything in life requires some type of discipline and the quality of character to follow-through. In a remodel, it will take great discipline to save money, stay within the set budget and pay back any loans you may have acquired. This means that you may have to resist changes and upgrades throughout the project because it will cost you more than you have to spend. These same rules apply to our children; they need to learn that tithing and saving are good and worthy disciplines.

As children get old enough to work and earn money, we must teach them that these disciplines bring blessings. Giving our children a solid biblical foundation about money is vital to how they view it later in life. All children benefit from the lessons of “delayed gratification”. When learned early enough in life, it will save them from the destructive power of debt. They must learn to manage their money, or their money will manage them!

Don’t give them everything they want; makes them earn it both in attitude and deed. A small job around the house, for relatives or neighbors is a good way for them to learn the value of a dollar.

Giving an allowance is an option, but be consistent and match the dollar amount to the job and make it age appropriate.

Banks for tithe, savings and spending or if they older a young writers account at your local bank.

Encourage them to save for something they really want, not just settle for something else just to “spend” that money.

Gift cards: good or bad? They do not teach the value of money the same way the real thing does. It is good for them to count their money out and know what they have spent and what is left.

Replace broken things or buy other high-ticket items they might need besides “toys”.

As we age, we realize very quickly how important it is to “follow-through” on things. It says a lot about character when we keep our word and do what we say we are going to do. Although things happen that can interfere at times, people will understand more readily when you have been consistent in your follow-through. When doing a remodel, if the contractor suddenly decides he has better things to do than your project, you have a problem!

When supplies have been ordered, paid for and are to be delivered by a certain date but the supplier drops the ball, you

have a problem! Deadlines are something we all have to contend with both at work and at home. Deadlines require follow-through. Our children must grasp this concept, as school will require this from kindergarten through college.

They will need to develop good study habits, a strong work ethic and have consistent support from parents, grandparents or who ever is caring for them. This is best when modeled by you! It is important to provide for them an area for study with little distraction. As they get older, they can handle more distractions but while they are young, we need to help

build a solid foundation of good habits and a positive attitude towards learning and education.

Family chores are another way to provide opportunities for a learning experience. Our kids think we give chores to punish them; while at times that might be the case, it is primarily training for them. We don’t assigned chores because we are too lazy to do it ourselves. They are, however, to teach important skills that they will need throughout life.

Chores teach our children the importance of working as a family and help them to feel they are a valued member.

Chores teach follow-through; while doing their best each time, they must finish what they start. If they do not put forth their best effort, the job should be done again.

Hard work always helps a bad attitude! They can work off steam, think about why they are angry, and more often than not, they have a very different attitude when they are finished, especially if they like the job they did!

Chores teach children skills they will need throughout life —- listening to directions, finishing what you start, a strong work ethic and the satisfaction

of a job well done. They will also learn that when they are obedient to their parents, it brings great rewards from God.

Integrity speaks of “doing the right thing, at the right time, for the right reasons.” The dictionary describes integrity as being sincere, honest and respected. Another reference is: the sound and perfect condition of something.

When working on a remodel, you must always be concerned about the condition of the structure. Is it sound? Has anything

When God dwells within a persons life, they possess an inner confidence; this allows them to enjoy a clear conscience, peace of mind and

heart and the security of knowing who they are.

GPS: Every Lost Person Receiving a Witness We must sow the gospel in North America —- in the Victor Valley —- in Hesperia. Our mission field is becoming increasingly secular and pluralistic. We cannot assume that people understand the concepts of God as the Creator, sin, the cross, and salvation through Christ. We must share the good news and the truth of Scripture in every way possible. We must reach our neighbors and the nations. We must sow among the people groups of North America and identify receptive people. You may wonder how to go about being an effective witness. Here are some suggestions. • Make a list of people you meet, know, and that

are in your sphere of influence, and pray for opportunities to witness to them.

• Share with people in the regular activities of your life. • Pinpoint areas where you can do evangelism and creatively leave witnessing

booklets. • What are you passionate about? Make what you are passionate about

evangelistic.

The beauty of the Spring season is almost upon us.

One of the most precious and treasured days of family recognition comes in the spring —- Mother’s Day. With that beautiful thought in mind, you are invited to attend the annual Mother - Daughter Luncheon at First Baptist Church. It will be a wonderful time of sharing the important and special gift God has blessed us with of being created in the feminine gender.

Watch the weekly FBConnection Journal for more information about this event and regarding reservations. If you would like to speak with someone about this event, you may contact June Warwick at 1-760-244-9716.

compromised the integrity of the structure? If so, you must assess the problem, and then carefully and completely make the necessary repairs.

You can never compromise your foundation or failure is certain.

If your contractor wanted to cut costs so he could reap more profit for himself, then he has compromised. Say, he purchased cheaper materials than you instructed, but led you to believe that he bought the good stuff; he compromised. You see, compromise can take place both internally as well as externally. The contractor not only has compromised the integrity of the building, but his work ethic and personal integrity as well.

Our children need to learn from us, what it is to have personal integrity. It is far more important than money or prominence. When God dwells within a persons life, they posses an inner confidence; this allows them to enjoy a clear conscience, peace of mind and heart and the security of knowing who they are. People, who lack personal integrity, have a shortfall of character as well. They are often not trustworthy, dependable or loyal. When a person is busy looking out for “#1,” they rarely concern themselves with the needs of others.

As our children grow, they will begin to see why these three strategies play such a key roll in helping them prepare for their future. We need to remember we are life-long learners, and these are life lessons that should be modeled, lived, and taught daily.

In the book of Ecclesiastes, chapter 3, it tells us there is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven. God himself designed life to be a constant ebb and flow of changes and experiences. Although they are not always enjoyable, they are necessary to our growth and maturity in Christ. What the author is saying here is that, He [God] has orchestrated life to be lived abundantly, but often times it seems meaningless and unfair. God is dependable, both in times of trouble and joy; he allows these phases to show his mercy, grace and never-ending love for us. As Gods children, we must remember, nothing happens by chance in this life. “Everything was made beautiful in it’s time.” We need to embrace life and all that it brings, learning through each experience.

As you near the completion of your “remodel”, you will have a “final inspection”. At this time, a punch list of items that need correction will need to be addressed in order for you to pass the final inspection phase. You will need to be diligent and timely as you make these changes. As our children merge into adulthood, we will experience the final inspection of their lives. It is then that you will see who they have become and what convictions they hold dear. You will be surprised how much they remember what you have taught them, and what they learned just by observing you. You might experience disappointments in their choices, and maybe even a separation, until such time that they have learned what is necessary for their growth and maturity as Christian adults.

Listen and learn about your children; love them with everything you have and pray over them daily. Remember, God loved them first and He knows them best. He will fill any gaps that are left. Preparation for the future does not ensure their success, however it will lessen the fallout.
