Lifeguard Missions |
There is an opportunity for a short term International or North American missions right here in North Myrtle Beach. It's for visitors or locals, churched or unchurched - it's interaction with lifeguards. YOU can be a missionary, on our beach, by walking up to a lifeguard with a cold drink of water and a snack. Tell the person that YOU are a Christian and are bringing them a cold drink and snack because Jesus said, "...when you do it in my name....it's the same as if you did it for ME..." If you're not brave enough to say words about Jesus, just take a drink and snack! (They love your extra motel goodies, too.) Take the time to THANK them for looking after you and your loved ones. Tell them The Church Lady said to! |
SUMMER 2012 was a wonderful one for Beach Service/Lifeguard suppers! Our attendance and interaction was the best ever. During 10 suppers over 782 meals were served to Beach Patrol, Lifeguards and Beach Service workers. This is more than 200 suppers than served in 2011. Each week these guys and girls were fed a good meal in Jesus name and welcomed into fellowship. We tried to make them feel at home and loved. We enjoyed each other during food time and fun time and shared God's love through a short devotional. Their staff also used this time to present their Lifeguard of the Week recognition. We had workers from 22 states including Puerto Rico, DC, and Hawaii and four countries - Australia, Bulgaria, Canada and the Czech Republic. There were more workers from our area than ever and about half guards and service workers were returnees. Thank you FBCNMB for providing the fellowship hall each Tuesday night. Three Sunday School classes - Friends In Christ, Faith Hope and Love, and New Beginnings of FBC Provided suppers. Thanks also to Kindred Spirits and Adult Worker classes and a number of individuals for monetary support. This allowed us to have prizes for games or to honor birthdays - favorite prizes were packages of toilet paper and jars of peanut butter! Meal providers were: FBCNMB (3), Wampee Baptist, Buck Creek Baptist, Faith Baptist (Aynor), Jamestown Baptist (Conway), North Strand Community Church, Living Water Baptist, and North Myrtle Beach Optimist Club. A big thank you to McDonalds and Chick-Fil-A for coupons for free sandwiches or meals. We also thank Applebees Neighborhood Grill, Logan's Roadhouse, Outback Steak House, Sticky Fingers, The Grill House and The Shack for donated food! Many of you remembered to take bottles of water and a snack when YOU went to the beach or said prayers. Thank you! Also, thanks to Pastor John Gambrell for his presence each week and Gerald Smith for helping each week behind the scene. We had and have several serious incidents and health situations on the beach or within the "service & guard family". Keep these in your prayers. Don't forget to go to our web site www.fbcnmb.com to view photos...and you can copy and paste. Or I have a CD with group photo as well as the fun groups! Beady Moore |
