“We often lead the way we’ve been lead, disciple the way we’ve been discipled, and teach the way we have been taught… unless we consciously decide to do otherwise.” ~Daniel Im, Author of No Silver Bullets: 5 Small Shifts That Will Transform Your Ministry

     Mississippi County Baptists, as we enter a new era of cooperative ministry, the future for the Association is brighter than ever. With singleness of mind on the building the Kingdom, we are consciously calling into question the status quo that is Associational missions. Together… we have such great potential as surrendered servants of the Almighty. However, God rarely works through potential alone. Without an unwavering commitment to obedience and the Lordship of Christ, our Association can do little to give God glory. May we make a commitment this day, to a greater emphasis on our personal obedience to what God is calling us to do… to make disciples that make disciples that make our community noticeably better.

     Over the past two months, after meeting with many church leaders, I have come to the realization that we are on the cusp of something great possessing a mindset that intentionally answers the question of why association exists.

          · We exist for our churches.

          · We exist to be a blessing to our partners through a spirit filled relationship.

          · We exist to walk alongside our churches and church leaders.

          · We exist to be a sounding board and an encouragement to our partners.

          · We exist to bridge the gap between evangelism & discipleship for Kingdom's sake.

          · We exist to increase the worship of God through the advancement of the Word.

          · We exist to build leaders through a gospel centered culture.

          · We exist to return vitality to our church partners.
