Selma Baptist Association and DeKalb Baptist Association, heart of missions

A joint missions trip consisting of five churches from Selma Baptist Association, two churches from DeKalb Baptist Association and five members of Antioch Baptist Church, Bowdon, Ga., traveled to Farmington, Maine, in August to assist Maine Baptist Association in building a new Southern Baptist campground and conference center.

The team completely re-roofed the conference center, assisted with new carpentry construction and repairs and made mechanical repairs around the facility. 

Selma Association spearheaded the trip. Tom Stacey, director of missions for Selma Association, said the association desires to do missions work outside of the Bible Belt as much as possible. They have completed 21 construction projects in nine different states over the last 15 years.
