UPDATE: A Word from Lamar

You may know by this time that I have received a new assignment from the Lord. I became the State Director of Missions for the Baptist Convention of New York (BCNY) as of November 1, 2008. There are approximately twenty-six million people living in the BCNY territory. We are currecntly serving 423 churches and missions. Some statistics indicate that as many as 98 percent are not yet followers of Christ. Please pray that we may have the wisdom of the Lord to know how to impact the "lostness" of our area. We do understand that a vital part of this taks will be the planting of evangelistic, discipling, reproducing churches so that all people within our territory may hear the Gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ in their own heart language.

I wish to take this opportunity to thank Southern Bapitsts for your prayers, gifts through the Cooperative Program and through the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering. These offerings and prayers enable me to do what the Lord has called me to do in the way we do it. It is indeed my privilege to serve the Lord in this way!
