January was an interesting month with the weather! We experienced all 4 seasons in one

week! Snow on Saturday and 75 degrees the next Wednesday! Things can change quickly in

SC with the weather! Just as quickly, our lives can change! We have seen several deaths and

life changing diseases recently at MFBC! Pray for one another and encourage others as they

go through difficult days! One thing that never changes is the love of God! He loves you and

wants to get you through the storms of your life!

Thanks to all who give and go on missions! We just finished our Lottie Moon Offering for Inter-

national Missions. We received $22,168.52 to help our IMB Missionaries do the work they are

called to do! We had a mission team that included 10 from our church to go and encourage

our missionaries during January. They did a great job and after many delays, returned home

safely! As you are reading this newsletter, we will have a team of 14 in Nicaragua working in

the Tomas Borge Barrio doing construction, VBS, door to door witnessing, Men’s Bible Studies

and Women’s Bible Studies. Pray for us as we serve there through Feb 4. God has opened

doors for us to do a lot of mission work locally, nationally and internationally. Thanks to all

who go, give and pray! It takes all of us to accomplish the task!

I hope you signed up for at least one ministry during our ministry fair. If not, see me or Tedd

Barnette to get signed up! We need everyone doing something to fulfill the Great Commission

through MFBC!

Keep praying, giving and serving! God blesses a church that does that! God bless you all!

FAST Meeting February 22nd

following the service in the conf. room

The first quarter of this year your safe-

ty team is focusing on evacuations and

drills. We continue to plan and prepare

for events we pray will not occur but

with diligence we are committed to

respond. Your part is critical as well!

Some good general rules to remember

during any type of evacuation are:

*remain calm

*follow instructions of safety team

members

*use stairwells as directed (if applica-

ble)

*do not return for personal items after

you have left the area

*do not return to your area until the

"all clear" signal is given

These are just some of the best practic-

es to follow and your help will be

greatly appreciated!

Please continue to pray for your safety

team and remember safety is every-

one's concern.

In His service,

Jimmy & Rhonda Batson

Tuesdays 6:30-8pm in

the church conference

room

"The Bondage Breaker"

series continues and it is a

great study! If you or

someone you know deals

with issues like; the nature

of temptation and sin or

steps to freedom in Christ,

this is the study for you.

We have a great time stud-

ying and then discussing

life applications of God's

Word and draw stronger

together.

Please continue to pray for

this great ministry and

share this outreach with

others in need.

Jimmy & Rhonda Batson
