Puxico First Baptist Church

Good morning Church Family. Here is our Unreached People for today. Please pray for them. Rind Baloch in Pakistan rind bah-LOACH... Did you know that the Rind Baloch people have an illustrious Islamic heritage? They are included in a cluster of Baloch tribes that descend from the prophet Muhammad's uncle. Yet the Rind Baloch people live a hard life in the southwestern Balochistan Province. Ministry Obstacles Considered 100 percent Muslim, the Rind Baloch strongly resist anything that contradicts Islam. Their remote location also makes them hard to reach. Outreach Ideas They sing lullabies for their children, and they also enjoy songs and stories about their military victories. Pray for God-inspired music, plays, and stories in their primary language of Southern Balochi. Ask God for effective, culturally-sensitive oral means of reaching the Rind Baloch. Scripture Focus "My mouth will speak the praise of the Lord, and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and ever." Psalm 145:21 Scripture Prayer Make this your prayer today! Prayer Focus Currently there are no known Rind Baloch believers. Pray that gospel seeds are planted in their hearts through the Southern Balochi JESUS Film, New Testament and audio Bible recordings. Ask for anointed, loving witnesses to make contact with Rind Baloch people. Pray for new Rind Baloch believers to become filled with the fruit of the Holy Spirit. Ask for Disciple Making Movements to begin among the Rind Baloch and spread throughout Pakistan, bringing great blessings upon all Rind Baloch communities.

Church family, Do not forget two important happenings this Saturday and Sunday at the FBC fellowship hall. Saturday at 10:00 am is Hannah Finley's Shower.... Sunday night at 7:00 pm is Ethan and Annie Boulden's baby shower. Love you all. In Christ, Justin

Church family, Sunday morning we are going to, as God allows, look at Galatians 6:1-10. Sunday evening we will be, as God allows, examining Philippians 3:4-11 as we take a two week break from Romans (this Sunday night and then on Father's Day we have no Sunday evening service).... With Galatians 6:1-10 two questions to ask: (1) In verse 1-5 what is Paul's expectation for the Galatian Christians in the local church with regards to their care for one another (verse 1-2) as well as the posture of their heart in caring for one another (verse 3-5)? (2) In verse 6-10 what does Paul say to the Galatian Christians concerning the use of their resources? (Hint verse 6-8 is about supporting pastors and verse 9-10 about caring for others especially those in the local church) With Philippians 3:4-11 three questions to ask: (1) Who was Paul before his conversion and how did conversion change his view of his former life? (verse 4-7) (2) How did Paul view the Lord Jesus upon his conversion? (verse 7-8) (3) What kind of righteousness and whose righteousness was it that Paul clung to before God? (verse 9-11)

Good morning Church Family. Here is our Unreached People group for today. Please take a few moments to read about them and then please pray for them. Rakhshani Baloch in Pakistan rek-SHAH-nee bah-LOACH... Although the origin of their name is in dispute, some believe Baloch originally meant "strong" or "magnificent." Whether or not that's true, it does accurately describe this people group. They are a proud and resilient people who live semi-nomadic lives in a very challenging environment. One of their subgroups are the Rakhshanis. Ministry Obstacles Entrenched tribal customs combined with a long history of Sunni Islam have made the Rakhshanis resistant to the gospel. Pray for the Lord to speak in a way that penetrates these obstacles and reaches their ears and hearts. Outreach Ideas Pray for translators who will dedicate themselves to finishing the Balochi Bible, allowing this people group to encounter God through the fullness of Scripture. Scripture Focus "The Lord is righteous in all his ways and kind in all his works." Psalm 145:17 Scripture Prayer Pray that many will soon thank the Lord for His righteousness and kindness. Prayer Focus There are no known followers of Christ among the Rakhshani Baloch. Pray that when some put their faith in him, they would be faithful in persecution, grow in the Lord, and share their faith with boldness and love. Ask the Lord to send his Spirit to gather a Rakhshani Baloch church. Pray for a church planting movement to be established that would blaze across Pakistan, drawing members of this people group and others into God's Kingdom.
