Thanksgiving a Month Early!

As we approach a season of thanksgiving next month Act of Life has reasons to be thankful today! With grateful hearts we are pleased to let you know about another marvelous provision the Lord has made for Act of Life.

First Baptist Church of Midland is a consistant and faithful supporter to people in the Permian Basin. We have been richly blessed with their generosity in the past, but did you know that FBC Midland has a foundation separate from their church body?

FBC Midland Foundation was chartered on October 23, 2003 to provide an opportunity to leave an enduring legacy to further the Kingdom of God. They have invested in many unique projects from providing funds for upgrading housing, to assisting a young woman through seminary, to providing Bibles through the Vietnamese Bible Society. Each project helped to provide necessary tools to meet specific needs.

We want to express our gratitude to the Board of Directors for their considerable contribution of $6000 to be invested in furthering God's plans for the Midland/Odessa region through Act of Life.

We look forward to tilling the soil of West Texas with updated resources, additional traning sessions and excellent referrals for those in need. More importantly we are looking forward to future opportunities of sharing the good news of salvation which God equates to adoption! We get the joy of sharing adoption is important both physically and spiritually. Thank you FBC Midland for investing in our kingdom work!
