NOVEMBER MISSIONS

Montgomery Baptist Association Family Promise Week November 9-16th Eastdale Baptist Church Montgomery Baptist Association will be hosting homeless families at Eastdale Baptist Church in November. We are partnering with Family Promise Ministry of Montgomery to provide a weeks housing and meals for families in their program. Family Promise is a non-profit, non-denominational, nationwide ministry that helps homeless families get on their feet through mentoring. The program is from 6-12 weeks. Churches in Montgomery provide housing at their churches 4 times a year for one week at a time. I am proud to have our Association participate in this ministry of long term solutions.
