A Note to you:

Camp started on June 4 week with 97 campers from Sugar Creek Baptist in Ohio. On June 11 week, Ewing BaptistChurch, Kentucky arrived with 137 campers. Both groups really like the camp and have reserved the two weeks next year.Boys week started this week, June 18, and we are looking forward to a great camping season in our association.

The second youth hymn sing was held on June 8 at Friendship Baptist in Irvine was a great success. We had 10churches send young people to perform and had 175 in attendance. There are some very talented young people in ourchurches. Due to the success of the youth hymn sing we are planning to increase the number next year.

Food for Thought:

This shocking statistic was brought out in the 2001 SBC pastors conference in New Orleans: 95 percent of allSouthern Baptists will live and die without ever sharing their faith in Christ. In that conference, Bobby Moore, pastor ofBroadway Baptist Church of Southaven, MS, told the pastors of the need to keep on going. He noted that 95 percent ofSouthern Baptists have never attempted to win anyone to Christ and that those who have been followers of Christ for a longtime tend to stop witnessing.

He suggested five motivations for witnessing--the indwelling presence of Christ, the spiritual need of the lost, one'sdevotional life, the nearness of the second coming and an understanding of the glory of God.

This should have been a wakeup call in 2001 but as you can see below not much has changed. The number ofbaptisms in the Southern Baptist Convention fell in 2010 by 4.98 percent, according to the latest report. Baptisms in theConvention are at their lowest level in 60 years. Southern Baptist churches reported 332,321 baptisms in 2010, down from349,737 in 2009.

Total membership also declined by 0.15 percent from 2009, making it the fourth straight year of decline. FrankPage, president of the SBC Executive Committee and a former SBC president, is quoted by Baptist Press as saying he issad to see this report and that it seems to indicate a lack of passion for winning our world to the Lord. That will turnaround when we repent of our sins and seek the power of our Lord in our evangelistic efforts.

Southern Baptist churches baptized 333,341 in 2011, a less than 1 percent increase from the 331,008 reported in theSBC Annual in 2010. Total membership in 2011, reported at 15,978,112, represents a 0.98 percent drop from 16,136,044reported the previous year and is the fifth straight year of decline.

In the Boones Creek Baptist Association, churches baptized 172 in 2011, a decline of 14.5% from the reported 201baptisms in 2010. Total resident membership in 2011 reported at 6,974, represents a 7.5% drop from 7,534 in 2010.

Dr. A. W. Tozer said, The impulse to share, to impart, normally accompanies any true encounter with God and

spiritual things. The woman at the well, after her soul-inspiring meeting with Jesus, left her water pots, hurried into the cityand tried to persuade her friends to come out and meet Him. Come, see a man, she said, which told me all things thatever I did: is not this the Christ? Her spiritual excitement could not be contained within her own heart. She had to tellsomeone.

Are you in the 95% who have never attempted to win anyone to Jesus? If you are, think of one person you knowthats lost and pray for them and then commit to try to win them to Christ.

Yours in Christ,
