FBC Midland Sews Seeds

"And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

One of my favorite things to do is hear or share examples of how the Lord has provided in a person's life or in the life of a specific ministry. At Act of Life we continuously see the Lord's hand moving among us, and He always supplies our needs. He is using us to accomplish His purposes.

Today We want to give thanks to the Lord for yet another congregation stepping forward and investing in God's Kingdom. The mission team at First Baptist Church of Midland, Texas has stepped forward and sewn financial seeds in Act of Life. Under the leadership of Bill Johnson and Hank Henry (pictured) they have invested $1000 toward helping us advance adoption awareness at local, state and national levels.

Historically FBC Midland has frequently been in the top ten of the most generous churches giving to Baptist missions programs nationwide. They see how Act of Life is providing hope and biblical resources, so they are fortifying our ranks to ensure we continue to minister.

Thank you, FBC Midland, for seeing God at work, recognizing an opportunity to make an impact and following through with your most appreciated gift! You are helping us educate, encourage and equip people with God's heart for adoption thereby directly participating in helping to save lives and create families.

May God continue to bless this dynamic congregation as they seek to show Christ to others through their words and by their deeds.

With a grateful heart,
Julie Stobbe
