Rabbi
Mike Saffle gave the Erev Shabbat teaching on Friday evening.

Mike
Saffle served as the SBMF President for the last three years.
Brother Mike gave a message to charge the members to make
disciples. Mike used Exodus 18 where Moses was charged to
disciple others to help with the work of leadership. Verse 20
tells us to teach G-d's Word rather than just answering questions
about His Word.

Dr.
Sam Nadler Spoke About Discipleship on Shabbat morning
|
Brother
Sam spoke on Discipleship,
using a balanced Messianic approach, specifically related to
congregation planting.
The teaching
blessed our hearts and gave us lots of tools for our ministry tool
boxes. He spoke about discipleship in the home and in the
congregation. Discipleship starts at home.

Russia.
She came
attend the SBMF Annual Meetings and we asked her to speak about that
service to the Russian people group in Russia.

short vacation here in the USA. It was a blessing to see Mary
again and hear what has been going on in her ministry.

Brother
Herbby is the Southern Baptist Convention's representative serving in

Jewish people.

The
SBMF Booth Project - News Flash & Praise Report
Baruch
Ha'Shem Yeshua (Praise the Name of Jesus)
The
North American Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Convention, Executive
Committee, blessed the
Southern Baptist Messianic Fellowship. They provided us with space in a
booth on the exhibit floor. This booth was provided for all the
ethnic ministries of the SBC. The booth was called "The many
Faces Exhibit of the SBC" . This booth was located right across
from the North American Mission Board Booth and next to the SBC.net
Television recording area. We were around the corner from the
International Mission Board Booth.
This
booth project was a success. We made several connections with new
friends in the SBC. We spoke to numerous church members and visitors
to the SBC exhibit floor. We also learned how to make our part of
the booth more attractive to passers by for next year.
We
were in the booth with other ethnic and language groups. These are
some of the SBC ethnic groups that were in the booth with us. The
SBC Hispanic Fellowship, The North American African Fellowship SBC, The
Mong Fellowship, The Chinese Fellowship, and the Philippine Fellowship.
The
blessing is that the SBC Executive Committee and the North American
Mission Board paid for the booth and it's decorations. They supplied
us with couches, lounge chairs, tables, and high stools for the high
tables. There was carpeting that had thick padding under it and a
wonderful display illustrating the many people groups in the SBC.
We
thank the
North American Mission Board and the Southern Baptist Convention, Executive
Committee, for blessing us in such a powerful way.
Brother
Ken Weathersby and all the members of the Church Planting Group of NAMB
have helped us so much. Please keep them and our continued
partnership in your prayers.

News
Flash & Praise Report: We had a pleasant
surprise while we were serving
in the "The many Faces
Exhibit of the SBC" on the exhibit floor. We were
invited to be interviewed on the SBC.net TV program. Brothers Bruce
Stokes, Mike Saffle and I were interviewed in a panel setting.
Each
one of us was asked questions about our fellowship and the ministries that
are affiliated with us. The above photos illustrate each one of us
talking on camera. We were told that a DVD of the interview will be
available soon. If we can we will stream it on this site.
The
North American Mission Board and the SBC Executive Committee would like
all Southern Baptists to know about the ethnic and language ministries
that are affiliated with the SBC. Each group of SBC ethnic and
language groups was invited to be interviewed so all Southern Baptists
would experience who we are and how we can help the SBC in reaching all
people groups.

The
L-rd bless you, and watch over you; The L-rd make His face
shine on you, and be gracious to you; The L-rd lift up His
countenance on you, and give you peace.

6:24-26]
