Details about changes to 93rd Annual Session

150 150 admin

From Our Moderator…
Dear state churches:
As you all know, we are in a ever-changing climate. Our state meeting is not exempt from that! It is our every intention to still have the state meeting at Zion Church in the St. Louis region on October 10 starting at 9:00 a.m.
However, with the concern of possible exposure to our most vulnerable people, the church, and I, as your moderator, are requesting that church messengers only and associational officers only attend the meeting.
Subsequently There will not be a meal,
We will simply have the meeting starting at 9:00 a.m. and will conclude the meeting when all business is completed. Please plan to pursue lunch on your own schedule and your own time.
I hope this inconvenience does not keep you from coming! I hope you understand the spirit behind why we are making these changes when, in this day and age everyone of us should be pretty used to change by now.
The business that we conduct is very important and we ask you to pray for God‘s direction and harmony as we seek to follow him as an association,
May the Lord richly bless you is my prayer.
Ben Kingston

From Our Clerk…
Please remember to send in or bring your church’s annual church letter this October. And please consider increasing your church’s donation to the Minute Fund. This past year expenses exceeded donations by more than $400. Another year like this and the fund will be nearly depleted. So please consider increasing your offering this year. If you need a copy of the letter it is on the BMA of Missouri Facebook page.
Don Burke

From Our Host Pastor…
Zion Baptist Church, 3485 Baumgartner Rd, St. Louis, MO 63129, looks forward to hosting the annual meeting on October 10, 2020 starting at 9:00 A.M.
Due to the covid-19 restrictions imposed by South County, we ask that those attending practice social distancing and voluntarily wear a mask. In order to practice 6 Foot social distancing, we need to limit attendance to messengers and officers. Zion will not be providing a noon meal.
If you need directions to the church, location of motels, or location of restaurants, please contact Pastor Dennis Baker.
Phone: 314-471-8665,
E-mail: bbsafety4332@gmail.com.
Please pray for the safety of those traveling and that the meeting will honor God.

MEMORIAL DAYAcross our nation this Memorial Day, our citizens and veterans will gather to pay homage to America’s men and women who gave their lives in defense of freedom. We do not take this freedom for granted. We are humbled by the courage demonstrated by our veterans. We ask that you take a moment and pray for our men and women who are currently serving in foreign lands and here at home. We appreciate your service.

God Bless America!

World Missions Sunday

226 223 admin

by Dr. John David Smith,
Executive Director BMAA Missions


World Missions Sunday is February 24th. This day is intended to draw our focus toward a missionary God and our role as an association of churches in His global mission. This day is also a day to express our gratitude to our awesome God for his faithfulness in and through BMAA international and North American missions. God has indeed blessed us to be able to expand to 78 countries in the world where we have hundreds of humble servants who are proclaiming the message of Jesus Christ.

We stand poised to send as many as ten new missionary families this coming year. If this indeed takes place, it will represent the highest number of American missionaries that our association has ever had on the mission field (around 60). Combine these American missionaries with the hundreds of national missionaries we partner with around the globe, and you see both the opportunity and responsibility we steward.

We continue to cry out to God to allow us to see a church multiplication movement here in the U.S. We pray that our churches are becoming convinced of their need to reproduce. The BMAA missions department is ready to come alongside your church with orientation, assessment, training, coaching, and partnerships in planting churches here in the U.S.

Our Perpetual Prayer Calendar will be mailed the first of February with the intention that our people will begin praying through the calendar on World Missions Sunday. These calendars are provided by the department of missions for your use in praying for our missionaries throughout the year. You may order your calendars now by calling our office: 501-455-4977 ext. 29 or by sending an e-mail.
