Job 19:26-27 – “And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God; Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.”

II Samuel 12:22 – “And he said, while the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: For I said, who can tell whether God will be gracious to me, that the child may live? But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? Can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.”

John 11:23-24 – “Jesus saith unto her, thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto Him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. “

Acts 1:3 – “To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs, being seen of them forty days, and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God.”

I Thessalonians 4:13, 17, 18 – “But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope…. Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. Wherefore, comfort one another with these words.”

We are permitted and encouraged by the Holy Word to anticipate reunion with our loved ones who have died in the Lord.

Our GMA girls at Matthews received awards on 3/28/18. The girls are shown here reciting the Aim, Allegiance, and Watchword. The girls have been working hard on their steps and memorizing scripture. We work with a group of girls in New Madrid on Tuesdays and at Matthews on Wednesday nights. The girls are also getting ready for national camp this summer in Texas.

A message from BMAA President Paul White

“Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success.” – Henry Ford. Being a part of something greater then ourselves is a God given privilege a?orded to the local church through being a part of an association. Attendance at local, state and national association meetings should be driven by a need-to attend (Proverbs 11:14) rather than a want-to attend mentality.

Like the strands of a rope that give it it’s strength, (Ecclesiastes 4:12) likewise, every church’s participation in our
association increases her strength and ability to fulfill the great commission. Everything is in place and in a few days, we will be converging on the city of Jackson, Mississippi for a time of Praise and Worship intermingled with our associations business.

From the God and Country Rally Monday night, annual message Tuesday night, through the call to the BMAA choir Wednesday
afternoon and the commissioning service on Wednesday night this year’s meeting will surely be one to remember.The following services will be available on live stream on bmalife.com/tv. Monday night, Tuesday night, Wednesday night, and Wednesday afternoon during the BMAA Choir and Lifetime Achievement Awards ceremony.

This year I will be ending my term as your President. I want to thank you for having allowed me this honor and privilege to serve.

I have been given the honor and privilege of leading the worship this year at the BMAA meeting in Jackson, Miss. On Wednesday, April 18, at 3:30 p.m., we are going to be forming a BMAA choir, and that is where I will need your help!

Anyone and everyone is welcome to come and sing at this time. Please spread the word to everyone you can think of who
might be interested in singing with us. I have chosen four songs — Standing On The Promises, How Great Is Our God, What A Day That Will Be and Chain Breaker. A copy of the words to all the songs will be distributed as the choir goes on stage at the meeting.

I’m sure everyone is very familiar with the first three songs. The only “new” song is Chain Breaker, and it can be heard at youtube (or Google Chain Breaker by Zach Williams). I chose to end with this song because that is the message and testimony we can all declare together in Christ. Once we were all bound by chains of sin, but as believers we have experienced true freedom in Christ!
