Prayer for Myanmar Partners and Pastor
Posted May 8, 2008 in GARBCnews, PrayerLink
Our international ministry partners in Myanmar have been severely affected by the hard-hitting cyclone. News outlets are reporting tens of thousands dead and scores of thousands still missing. Every dead or missing person affects a family, and every family affects a circle of friends. Businesses have been damaged or washed away, leading to widespread unemployment or interruption in employment. In a country where poverty is more the norm than the exception, this event has produced a crisis of great proportions. All utilities have been cut off—no electricity, no water, no communications. Food supplies are limited, and disease will soon become widespread. Please pray for our Myanmar brothers and sisters in Christ.

Teens in Basic Training
Posted May 2, 2008 in GARBCnews, Uncategorized
Two hundred teens attended the final day of Empire State Fellowship’s 2008 regional youth seminars, held at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Poughkeepsie, NY. For the series of four regional seminars, 1549 participants yielded a love offering of $4600 for Fort Drum Wounded Soldiers, a program in which Chaplains assist men and women returning from war. David Tebbenkamp, youth pastor from Waterloo, Iowa, highlighted the conference theme, Basic Training ’08, through powerful messages on fighting the spiritual battle. Experienced lay people and pastors taught nine workshops helping teens to defend their faith and to serve their Commander-in-Chief. Praise the Lord for these weekend “maneuvers” conducted to better train our Christian young people!
