Santee Baptist Association A network of Bapt is t congregat ions cooperat ing to share the t ransforming message of Jesus Chr is t .
July & August 2017
A Few weeks ago on our Cleveland Mission Trip, I was drawn to a
passage in John 4 where Jesus challenges all social and religious norms
and taboos by having a conversation with a Samaritan woman. In the
course of the conversation Jesus opens up his reply with 4 words: “IF YOU
ONLY KNEW.”
In verse 10 Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God has for you and
who you are speaking to, you would ask me, and I would give you living
water.”
I wonder how many times Jesus responds to us “IF YOU ONLY KNEW.” If
you only knew: How close you were to falling or failing? How you quit
praying when God just begins to answer? How you worry and fret and
yet peace and deliverance is just beyond the horizon? How you forget
this world is not your true home and the best is yet to come?
As a network of Churches called the Santee Baptist Association, may we
look with passion and enthusiasm to the future for we never know what
lies ahead.
IF YOU ONLY KNEW!!!!
Word of Encouragement by Kevin Litchfield
Our next Executive Committee will be held at New Salem Baptist
Church, Tuesday evening, August 8th at 6:30 PM. Our business session
will be light in lieu of honoring two of our pastors who have left the area;
Steve Hendicks, Second Manning and Dan Nichols, Heritage Fellowship.
Our celebration will begin with a dinner and include prayer and
commissioning of these men and their families to their new ministry
assignments. Please mark your calendars now and plan to join us for this
celebratory occasion! Let us know by Wednesday, August 2, by calling
the associational office, 803-775-6527 or emailing Joyce at

forward to seeing you!

A team of 21 left Sumter on June 26 to participate in an Associational Mission Trip to Cleveland Ohio. This team
worked with 3 church plants while dividing up into 4 mission Teams: Prayer, Creative arts, Family Ministry, and
General Missions. During this week The Holy Spirit did some amazing things and through this week both the team
and Cleveland will never be the same. Please pray for our next pastor Vision Tour on August 20-23.
