For more than 118 years of equipping children and adults, our mission has not changed,” Alabama Woman’s Missionary Union (WMU) Executive Director Candace McIntosh told Alabama Baptists during the Nov. 13–14 annual meeting. “God’s Word has remained true. We must pray, we must give and we must go.”
According to the Book of Reports, Alabama WMU has a goal of equipping people from preschool through adults “to live a life that reflects God’s command and commission to love and embrace a lost world.”
McIntosh expressed concern about the missions education of the children in our churches. “I fear that if we fail to teach our children, our future will look much different. Who will pray, who will give, who will go?”
During the last year, Alabama WMU trained and equipped more than 950 leaders through a variety of training opportunities, including WMU and Women’s Leadership Training and Enrichment, the Emerging Leader Forum and regional training in Dothan, Jemison and Cullman.
More than 2,200 participated in missions and ministry events that included a new women’s event, Renew; Children’s Missions Explosion; Summer Missions Camp at WorldSong Missions Place in Cook Springs; and the Ministers’ Wives Luncheon at the Alabama Baptist State Evangelism Conference.
Alabama WMU was involved in several missions trips, including sending a group of 13 to Guatemala, a group to minister to children in Enterprise and a team to prayer walk in Ukraine.
Also noted in the Book of Reports was the re-election of Rosalie Hall Hunt of Guntersville as Alabama WMU president. She will serve a two-year term. (TAB)
