Lamar Assoc. holds children’s missions event

Children in grades K-6 put together salvation bead key chains during Missions Madness 9 on May 2, an annual missions event hosted by Lamar Baptist Association. The 2015 event was hosted by FBC Sulligent with the theme “The Great Commission: It’s My Job” based on Matthew 28:19–20. More than 80 children participated and nine associational churches were represented. Multiple churches provided food for the day, gift bags for missionary speakers and items for the missions projects. This year’s projects were making snacks for Alabama Baptist Children’s Homes & Family Ministries’ Camp of Champions and salvation bead key chains that were sent to North American Mission Board missionary Justin Martin and his church planting team in Portland, Ore.
