Our team of skilled professionals handles their responsibilities beautifully and are continually seeking ways to polish their efforts and work more efficiently.
However, it’s their compassion and genuine love for the Lord, each other and you that truly makes them stand out. They continually strengthen these relationships alongside the commitment they put into their specific roles.
One way we’ve enhanced this connection is by diving in deeper to know you better. Your willingness to share your stories and trust us with your prayer requests have transformed this process.
It’s been incredible to get to know you more through what you share with us. Several of our team members have partnered with you in prayer, and hearing the burdens you carry along with the reports of God’s faithfulness is humbling.
Prayer board
We have a bulletin board in our community room, and we place the prayer requests we receive there so we can see them when we grab our lunches or snag that midafternoon coffee — or hot tea, in my case. We also share your messages of encouragement and notes of concern with each other as they arrive.
I regularly stand in front of the bulletin board, warm mug in hand, and pray as I read your messages. Know that we are with you in the valley. We’d love to hear your updates and new requests as you feel led to share.
Give us a call or send us a note or an email — we so appreciate getting to labor with you in this way.
We have also felt your prayers these past months and are so thankful for your petitions on our behalf. You are why we exist, and you are a vital piece of the puzzle that will allow us to exist for future generations.
Spread the word
As you finish reading your copy of The Alabama Baptist each week, would you consider sharing it with a friend or family member who might enjoy it?
Would you sign up a friend or family member for a gift subscription of either The Alabama Baptist or The Baptist Paper — or better yet, both?
Perhaps you could share with your Sunday School class about the media ministry offered through the pages and digital platforms of TAB Media Group, which produces both The Alabama Baptist and The Baptist Paper.
You are an important part of our circle of support, and there is no one we trust more to share who we are with fellow believers.
We also have resources your church can share with its members — things like quick messages to include in the bulletin, slides to include in Sunday morning announcements, copies of the newspaper with stickers on them about how to subscribe.
If any of these resources would be helpful for you or your church as you share, please reach out to us. Call 1-800-803-5201, email news@thealabamabaptist.org or send a note to 3310 Independence Drive, Birmingham, AL 35209.
Your support means the world to us, and we are incredibly thankful for you and how you understand the importance of advocating for the ministries, services and efforts making a difference for the Kingdom.
Why connecting matters
- As dedicated followers of Jesus Christ, we understand how prayer is the lifeblood of all we do.
The vulnerability you show by trusting us with your prayer needs strengthens us in our own faith journey. It’s truly a privilege to pray for and with you.
You also keep us accountable regarding prayer and seeking the Lord. You give us the courage to share our prayer concerns in return.
- We need you.
While we are absolutely confident and at peace with where God has us and what we are to be about, we need His guidance on the various aspects of the work every single day.
Knowing you are holding the ropes in prayer and overall support gives us a sense of security.
- Connecting with you keeps us in tune with what’s really happening in day-to-day life — and how we can best help.
