MARCH 2012

Dear Church Family,

We are thrilled at the opportunity the Lord has given us to serve Him with you at the Berean Baptist Church. You have already made us feel so welcomed and loved. I have chosen a theme for the rest of 2012, “Our God Makes the Impossible – Possible.” I trust that you will join me in believing this. I know from past experiences that God can truly do the impossible. Many people ask, “Can God?” I say, “God can!” I am trusting that God will allow us to continue to see souls saved, baptized, and added to the church.

Berean Baptist Church has been a great church under the leadership of Pastor Davis and Ms. Connie. They have faithfully “stood by the stuff” for these 27 years. I know we are all thankful for them and the blessing they have been in each of our lives. Continue to pray for them as they continue to serve our Lord. I also covet your prayers as the new pastor of Berean Baptist Church. It is my goal that we move forward in reaching this area with the gospel of Christ. I am looking forward to serving the Lord together. If I can ever be of assistance to you, please do not hesitate to contact me.

In His Service,
Pastor Mike Pinson

FEBRUARY 2012

Dear Church Family,
We thank the Lord for the many souls that were saved and baptized in 2011 for the glory of God. We are looking for another great year in 2012.
As many of you already know I will be stepping down as Pastor of Berean as of March 4, 2012 after 27 wonderful years of ministry. Berean Baptist is at it’s peak in ministry and things are going well. I felt I did not want to hinder the church because of my age - as Church work takes a lot of energy and work. God has sent a good Man, Bro. Mike Pinson and his family to take over the work at Berean. He is young and will be able to take the Church forward under the leadership of the Holy Spirit. We are very blessed to have a good man like Bro. Pinson who has a vision as I have had over these years. I encourage each of our dear people to give him the same loyalty that you have given me. My wife and I believe this is God’s perfect will.
We thank the Lord for allowing us to serve the Lord at Berean Baptist Church. We have grown over these 27 years tremendously because of the dear folks God has given us to serve and do the work of the Lord in our Sunday School, Children’s Church, Bus Ministry, Jail & Nursing home ministries, as well as many various ministries that Berean has. We have had souls saved & baptized almost every week that I have pastored. God allowed us to be in five building programs with an
estimated value of over $2,000,000 worth of buildings and property. God is Good! My wife and I want to extend our love to each member of Berean Baptist Church and you will always be special to us. May God bless you as we continue to serve the Lord together.
Pastor & Mrs. Davis
