BAPTIST ASSOCIATION
GRATEFUL FOR OUR PASTORS
Baldwin Baptist Association is blessed with gifted and spirit-filled
pastors. A great example is Dr. Franklin Kirksey, pastor of First Bap-
tist Church, Spanish Fort. Pastor Franklin has been interviewed on
American Family Radio. His latest book, “Don’t Miss The Revival!
Messages for Revival and Spiritual Awakening from Isaiah” can be
found on Amazon. Dr. Kirksey will be speaking at William Carey
University in the near future.
The ministers of our association will meet at Friendship Baptist
Church in Bon Secour at 11:00 a.m. on Tuesday, April 12. Lunch will
be provided. Pastor Randy Johnson will be leading this time of fel-
lowship and encouragement.
Let us pray for the well-being of our ministers and
their families.
