The IARBC Family Praises and Prayers

Pastor Hutchins pastored Calvary Baptist, Walnut, IA

After being diagnosed with cancer 3 months ago, my Dad, Richard E. Hutchins, went home to be with the Lord this morning at 5:55 EST. He would have been 91 next month. Please be in prayer for my Mother and other family members, some who do not know the Lord. I will be preaching the funeral on Friday, June 20th, at Nickerson Funeral Home, Sandwich, MA.
Pray for Teresa and I as we will be driving from Iowa to Massachusetts on Wednesday, then traveling back to Iowa on Monday.

In lieu of flowers, memorials can be sent to the Baptist Mid-Missions, North India Project, PO Box 308011, Cleveland, OH 44130-8011

"And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." (Galatians 6:9,10)
We, as IARBC, have the opportunity to help our fellowship of churches that have special storm related needs. The chairmen from each of the area fellowships are putting together a list of those needs. Next week at our national meeting, they will be meeting with our IARBC leadership to see how we can best help with these needs.
We are planning to form teams out of our churches who are willing and able to help those who are suffering great hardships.
Our priorities are: Prayer support, Encouragement, Church buildings, Parsonages, and Church families' homes and business need (clean-up, repairs, painting, etc).
Please be in much prayer for all our communities, but especially for our IARBC Fellowship.

In His Goodness
Pastor Roger Crawford
Next Town Evangelism, Chairman

Fellowship Baptist Church in Des Moines sits adjacent to one of the levees for the Des Moines River. The river is predicted to crest this week at a level that could swallow a portion of the church. Members are standing by ready to pack and move books, files and electronics. Sand bagging would be to no avail. Due to a ground water or waterworks related problem, a portion of the parking lot has already collapsed. A crew is currently working on that problem. If you would be available to help pack movable items, please contact 515-244-6767 and ask to be place on a call list. They will call you when needed.
