Something To Think About Randy Gilchrist, Executive Director
I truly hope this Easter you, your family,
and the church you attend celebrated the
resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.
There are two holidays that deserve to be
celebrated by Christians: The Birth of our
Savior and the Resurrection of Our Sav-
ior. One is the day God came down to earth to become the
sacrifice for our disobedience to God. The other is the cele-
bration that God was well pleased with the payment for our
disobedience and the promise of our own eternal relationship
with Him. So let each day be a celebration and renewal of
one’s commitment to Him.
The month of April looks to be another busy month with
planning for Vacation Bible Schools, Pinewood Derby, Sum-
mer Camps and all the other activities for children. The Lake
Tomahawk Golf Tournament is April 16 at River Terrace
Golf Club in Channelview. If playing golf is not your sport,
but you want to contribute to Lake Tomahawk there are hole
sponsorships. Speaking of Lake Tomahawk, don’t forget that
April 21 is the 50+ Fish Fry, with entertainment to be provid-
ed by the Christian country group Branded.
Just a reminder, after Jesus’ resurrection, He appeared to the
disciples in the Upper Room. According to John 20:19-23,
His first words were “Peace be with you.” And then he
showed them his hands and His sides. The Gospel then says
that the disciples were glad when they saw Jesus. Jesus said a
second time “Peace be with you.” And then He said, “As the
Father has sent me, I am sending you”. Then He breathed on
them and said receive the Holy Spirit. Here it is; Jesus first
brought to them His peace, then He told them to do what He
had been doing, and finally empowered them to do it. In the
same way, He gives us His peace, our purpose, and His pow-
er. There will be more to come.

For the Common Good Carey. D. Froelich, Associate Director
for Church Enrichment
But grace was given to each one of
us according to the measure of
Christ's gift….11 And he gave the apostles, the proph-
ets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to
equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building
up the body of Christ, 13 until we all attain to the unity
of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to
mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the
fullness of Christ, 14 so that we may no longer be chil-
dren, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about
by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by crafti-
ness in deceitful schemes. (Ephesians 4:7, 11-14 ESV)
These words that reflect Paul’s understanding of God’s
gifts to the Church represent the very foundation of my
45+ years of vocational ministry. God called me to be
an equipper—one who invests his life in preparing
God’s people for service in the Church and in the
world. I am joined in this role by all of our pastors and
ministry staff, and a special team of those fellow-
equippers has begun planning Learning That Makes a
Difference, scheduled August 20, 2016 at Bayshore
Baptist Church, LaPorte. This training event is
aimed at all Bible Study Leaders (Sunday School and
Small Groups), and includes sessions for leaders with
Adults, Youth, Children, and Preschoolers. By its title
you will recognize the emphasis is on helping teachers
guide Bible study in ways that bring genuine transfor-
mation in the lives of each person in attendance. Please
begin praying for this important event; add it to your
calendar and give it high priority.
Another leadership training event for our Hispanic
Churches is planned on June 25, 2016 at Templo Bap-
tist, LaPorte. The focus of this session is on Develop-
ing Leaders in the Pew, and will feature Campo
Londoño and colleague from Union Baptist Associa-
tion. They will present sessions for both pastors and
other leaders with the underlying theme of making dis-
ciples. Pray for this conference that God may help our
equipping pastors become even more effective among
our churches.

Lake Tomahawk News Patrick Flowers, Camp Manager
This past Monday (3/14) the Volun-
teer Christian Builders (VCB) started
working at Lake Tomahawk. We
have several projects to complete in
the two weeks they are with us.
These retired men and women travel in their RV’s
throughout the US (mostly Texas) helping camps and
churches do small or large projects. We are grateful for
these groups that help us to afford so much of our de-
velopment and remodels. We love our volunteers and
feel blessed they are with us.
Summer is approaching and that means SUMMER
CAMPS! Registration is open for children and youth.
For more information check out the SJBA website. We
are looking to fill all the beds this year and look for-
ward to seeing your kids at Lake Tomahawk.
We are still taking applications for summer staff at
Lake Tomahawk. If you know of a college student or a
mature high school student looking for a summer min-
istry opportunity, send them our way. Students can
find our application on our website at
www.laketomahawk.org.
Pray for us as we continue to make Lake Tomahawk a
place where people have the opportunity to meet our
Lord and Savior.
Co-laboring together.
