Listening To the Communty

A group of Christians from Lowndes County are in the planning stages of a ministry outreach. Over the last year, churches have been talking about how to tangibly help people in this county for the cause of Christ. In February, we had a dreaming meeting and started talking about the needs that churches have seen in their communities. The list was long…..and there were many great ideas.


Although this was initiated by Baptist churches in the county but in order to fulfill God’s call in Matthew 25 to serve others…we need as many Christian churches as possible to come on board working together to reach Lowndes County for Christ.

Saturday morning , March 5th at Hayneville Baptist Church we will be doing some training on doing a community assessment…then in the weeks to follow, groups from different communities will be talking to neighbors and friends about what they think churches can do to help this county be better. The training will be from 9-11:30am and is open to ALL Christian churches in Lowndes County.

If you would like to attend or need more information, please email Lisa Rose at 334-271-6794 or email her at lrose@mgmbaptist.org

2. Do a neighborhood survey and find out what your community wants and needs.

3. Tithe 1/10 of your garden and give to a family in need.

4. Read to a child at one of the public schools in your area. The administration would love to have you serve.

5. Start an Fellowship of Christian Athletes club at a local jr high or high school.

6. Take gift bags to new neighbors around your home or church with information about the church/community.

7. Adopt a school and be a prayer partner with them.

9. Offer to host an ESL or Conversational English class in your church. Someone can come and train your church to teach ESL too.

10. Gather in good condition clothing and take to the centers. Ask Forest Park about their "Good Samaritan Clothing Ministry".
