KIDS4TRUTH CLUBS TRANSLATED INTO CHINESE
Chris Hindal, director of Regular Baptist International, recently met in Hong Kong with Bob Roberts, representative of RBP International’s China division, to plan the expansion of Kids4Truth Clubs. This newly released kids’ club program by Regular Baptist Press teaches children systematic theology so they will be able to defend their faith. The materials are being translated into Chinese by volunteers in Shanghai. Level one is complete, and the translators are finishing the six remaining books of level two, with the goal of producing a parallel Chinese/English language edition. Twelve hundred evangelical churches of Hong Kong could benefit from this venture. The profits from this endeavor will be used to freely distribute the same materials to the Chinese on the mainland though the house church movement. What a great opportunity to spiritually impact the next generation of the most populous county in the world! Regular Baptist International is worthy of monthly missions support from your church.

CHURCHES HELP TEXAS AND FLORIDA CHURCH FAMILIES
Regular Baptist Builders Club is thanking God for the tremendous generosity of individuals and churches who contributed more than $40,000 to help victims of hurricanes in Texas and Florida. Berean Baptist Church in Humble, Texas, received $20,000 to help rebuild homes of church members. In addition, Maranatha Village in Florida received $5,000 to help repair severe damage to its facilities. More aid will be sent out as soon as insurance adjustments are completed. Thank you to everyone who gave and prayed for these efforts. A special thank-you to two Colorado churches, Faith Baptist in Fowler and Rustic Hills in Colorado Springs, for sending work teams to Humble, Texas, to help with the rebuilding of homes. Read the story and view a video about these efforts: “Texas and Florida Church Members Thank GARBC Churches for Help.”

CHURCH PLANTS APPLY FOR FUNDING
Please pray for Regular Baptist Builders Club as Director Clare Jewell and board members Ed Fuller, Eric Hancock, Dan Mead, Aaron Patton, and Kerry Watkins consider four grant applications for new church plants. It’s great to see these new churches getting started in Oregon, Arizona, Pennsylvania, and Maryland. In addition, Regular Baptist Builders Club is in the final stages of preparation to launch a church leadership residency program in January 2018. This program will be designed to enhance leadership development for church planting and revitalization efforts within our association. More info will be coming soon!
