ELDER INVITATION

December 7, 2014
ESPECIALLY FOR OUR GUESTS
We are glad to have you worship with us today. You
are worshiping with people who experience the
same difficulties of life as you. We have nothing to
boast about except the God we worship. Please relax
and focus upon the Lord Jesus who loves you and
desires for you to follow Him. While God has surely
led you here, you likely still have a number of im-
portant questions about us; how to get more involved and connected in
meaningful relationships or about your own personal or spiritual needs.
If so, please allow us to help you by completing the guest registration
inside the back cover or by coming forward during the invitation time.
—Ronnie W. Rogers

LATE BREAKING NEWS...Continued
WILBERFORCE INITIATIVE The Wilberforce Initiative is a
ministry of TBC that helps equip
believers on cultural and current
issues from a biblical perspective.
We address many topics includ-
ing: the family, pro-life, marriage,
race, science, religious liberty,
and many others. November's
focus will be on adoption. Check
us out regularly at wilberfor-
ceinitiative.org If you have any
questions please visit with Ryan
Polk or Curtis Winkle.
THE ACADEMY
The Academy is a training minis-
try that tries to give believers a
well rounded biblical foundation
in several key areas of the Chris-
tian life. This is accomplished in
monthly meetings through reading
one book a month, presentations,
interaction with TBC staff and
elders, and discussion, all with the
goal of trying to use what we are
learning to help others know
Christ better. This is a challenging
but rewarding equipping oppor-
tunity that nearly 75 members of
TBC have already participated in.
If you are interested or have ques-
tions please talk to Ryan Polk.
The 2015 Academy group will be
determined by mid December and
the first meeting will be mid Janu-
ary 2015.
2015 BUDGET
Proposed 2015 Budgets are avail-
able in the Welcome Center. An
elder will be available today at 5
p.m. in room 115. There will be a
vote, without discussion, at the
end of tonight’s evening service.

MISSIONS MINISTRY UPDATES
Rick and Cheryl M. had
planned to go to Nepal to visit
their daughter, Amanda, son-in-
law Jay, and their four grandchil-
dren during the Christmas holi-
days; but they need to delay that,
so pray the Father’s comfort for
everyone’s sad heart. It is tough to
be so far apart. Shirts for the
children at the orphanage have
been sent. Pray that these and
other packages will be safely
delivered at the right time.
Neil and Sommer B. will be
back with us soon from their
training in Virginia. However,
they will leave for Italy right after
Christmas.
Alex and Diane M. in Colombia
are meeting with friends from
three different unreached people
groups. One of these families
comes over regularly. Alex and
Diane just finished storying
through the book of Exodus. Pray
that the Holy Spirit continues to
go before them, preparing hearts
and convicting them as they study
His Word. They will be storying
soon about Jesus as the sacrificial
Lamb of God. He is the only true
God worthy of our worship and
our lives.
Continue praying for Susan
Logsdon, whose bir thday was
last Thursday, Nov. 27. She has
returned from Senegal, West Afri-
ca, due to severe arthritis, but she
continues to work here in the
States preparing translations for
print. Her sister, Mary, who
helped us locate our adopted peo-
ple group, is also in the States on
furlough from East Asia.
As it stands now, Dr. Jiening
Ruan will be leading the next
team to visit our people group for
a week in March 2015. Justin
Devero and Dr. Sean Huang
will be accompanying her. They
have attended the Missions Prep
class and will be following up on
our previous contacts with a
village school and the newly
discovered Christian community
in another mountain village.
We have been encouraged to send
one or two volunteer children’s
workers to help Pastor David for
two to three months this summer.
Antioch has about 20 children
in the three minority house
churches that share one rented
facility in the main city. Contact
Billy Wolfe if you might be availa-
ble and could attend the Wednes-
day night, 6:00-7:00 PM Missions
Prep class. Funds are in hand al-
ready.
