Speaking of missions
Missions by the Book: Ask in prayer
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” – Mark 11:24
Quotable: A passion for missions
“Without a doubt I would say there is more than a heart for missions among the people of Mount Vernon – there is a passion for missions. And that passion is driven by the biblical values of the Great Commission and the urgency of sharing Christ with people of every tongue, tribe and nation.” – Allan Blume, senior pastor, Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Boone, N.C., which gave the most per capita -- $243.74 per member – of any Southern Baptist Church to the 2005 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering
