“Don’t Lose Heart”
Session One – Thursday afternoon, November 6, 2014 Pusey Losch, Presiding
Praise & Worship Delaware Valley Baptist Church Worship Team Lord I lift Your Name on High All Day All Day
Call to Order Pusey Losch called the 44th Annual Meeting to order and welcomed each one in attendance.
Welcome/Prayer James Betner, Pastor of Host Church, led in prayer and welcomed those in attendance.
Seminary Report & Bible Study Jeff Iorg President of Golden Gate Seminary. Six seminaries across the USA that are affordable and available thanks to Cooperative Program giving. Seminary is moving into a brand new campus in Ontario, CA. Acts 11:19 Do not lose heart, following the theme of the convention. Ultimate responsibility in Ministry is through the power of the Holy Spirit. Acts 13:1 Multiple references to the Holy Spirit. Three references specifically naming the Holy Spirit filling a man, Barnabas. He was a good man, full of the Holy Spirit. The question asked is, “ Is a spirit filled seminary possible?” 1. The Bible contains no formula for how to be filled with the Holy Spirit. 2. The results of filling are always emphasized more than the process. 3. The results of the filling are evident in Barnabas’ life. He was called a good man. Man of faith. He was also filled with the Spirit and given evangelist success. 4. Discernment for personnel selection. Leadership selection has long lasting generational impact. 5. He was also filled for strategic decision making. For a whole year they met with the church. How then is a believer filled with the Spirit? No formula, but aspects of spiritual life. Five aspects of being spirit filled. 1. Must be saved. Spirit testifies with your spirit. 2. Surrendering control of your life to the spirit: Be filled with the Spirit. Give up control of your life. Willing surrender. 3. Confessing sin. Holy Spirit can be quenched by attitude and behaviors. 1 Thes 5:19 - Do not quench the Spirit. 4. Don’t grieve the Holy Spirit by outward action. How you treat other people. It matters in how God works through us. 5. Accepting His filling by Faith and take action.
Committee Reports Credentials and Enrollment Committee Madeline Harris reported that there are 67 registered messengers and 85 guests. She made a motion to seat those in attendance as messengers and those who arrive later. Motion passed. Program and Arrangements Committee Bob Garber made a motion to adopt the program as printed and adjust times as needed. Motion carried.

Recognition and Greetings from agencies, national agency trustees, fraternal bodies and other guests
BRN Panel Stan Smith, Facilitator - BRN Vision: To glorify God by Fostering Spiritual Transformation. Commitment is to invest in the pastors. Larry Anderson, Healthy Churches Team – Developing relationships and re-envision the ministry. Develop the Pastor’s Clusters and do training that is beneficial to our pastors. Deploy is what healthy churches are called up for the most. Thanksgiving and Christmas evangelistic projects. The BRN has touched every cooperative program giving church in the convention. That is why we have relationships. Our resources are the biggest advantage. Pam Smith, Missional Living Team – Young guys are seeking out Jay Francoeur, how you can coach the church planters. In many churches Missions is a function of several. For God the Church exists for mission. God’s mission has a church. Deploy - Still connected to literacy ministry; Disaster Relief chapter was called up for the manhunt in the Poconos. Barry Whitworth, Multiplying Churches Team – There are about 90 men involved also. Buff McNickle has been planting Grace Falls Church and meeting with Jay Francoeur and God is doing a great work in the Absecon area. Deploy: beginning to see pastors come together that are realizing that we got to do everything we can to train up the next generation. We are seeing God stirring up and making the future look good. 75% of Church planters are coming from this area.

Miscellaneous Business Executive Board Report, Part 1 Brian Harrison Constitution & Bylaws Committee Report Larry Snyder - The Committee is revisiting and examining the Constitution and Bylaws of the convention. The committee has been having conversations this last year of changes that may need to be made. We will not be voting at this convention meeting but want to present changes followed by dialogue sessions in 2015. 1. Want documents to reflect how we define cooperating churches - what a Southern Baptist Convention cooperating Church looks like. 2. Better job of representing who we are as the Baptist Resource Network. We want documents to reflect regions geographically rather than by association. 3. Update actual EDT search process should the day come that we would need to replace our Executive Director. The Bylaws could be voted on this year but committee decided that it would be better to hold off voting until the next annual meeting, after the changed documents have been examined. If you want to host a dialogue session please contact Dr. Waltz or Larry Snyder. Election of Officers, Part 1 Nominating for President: Peter Yanes from Philadelphia Bible Church International submitted Rev. Brian King, who has been serving the Lord faithfully for over 26 years. Anatoly seconded the nomination. Motion passed. All in favor.
Nominating for First Vice President: No nomination – to be continued in next business session.
Report from Executive Committee of the SBC Ken Weathersby
Praise & Worship Curtis Conner
President’s Address Pusey Losch Never Lose Heart Deuteronomy 1:46 Moses sending people through the promise land. He never gave up hope. Bi-Vocational is full-time work, it is just not fully funded. Don’t lose heart if God has you where He wants you. He is testing you to know what is in your heart. People do what is right in their own eyes not what’s in God’s eye. People who lose heart: Book of Judges were more faithful to the false gods than to the true God. You won’t lose heart if you love God. Paul sees Jesus on Damascus road. We serve in a ministry that is never finished. Never lose heart. God has you where He really wants you. You have done something right if you serve God. Life gives you the test first and teaches you the lessons after.

Special Music Paoli Baptist Church Worship Team Not Guilty The Lord is my Light
Bible Study Jeff Iorg Acts 11:27 The Power of the Holy Spirit at work in the worship services in our churches. Better model in New Testament – Church of Antioch. Very different picture than that at Pentecost in Acts 2. Luke wrote Vr. 27-30 What the spirit is accomplishing in 2 stories. Church gathers, people have an offering and sent offering back to Jerusalem. 3 Things to see in this church: 1. Holy Spirit empowered the preaching. Agabus spoke by the power of the Holy Spirit. 2. Spirit produced. Their response: There was an offering according to their ability. Offering is a spiritual moment in the worship service. We forget what the power of the offering will do. The Holy Spirit is at work in the lives of the one giving. The offering is the Spiritual response in the worship service. 3. Spirit worked to overcome prejudice and division within the church. Next Church: Acts 13 the 2nd church. 1 The Holy Spirit spoke through the worship. Singing or speaking. 2 The Holy Spirit spoke to the people to each other about their responsibilities 3 The Spirit called out workers to expand the mission of God. 4. The Holy Spirit spoke directly to the people, not Paul and Barnabas. No nonsense side show attraction. Biblical Worship is when the Holy Spirit is moving in the worship service.
Congregational Singing Curtis Conner Draw Me Close to You
State of the Convention Address David Waltz It is humbling to be here in this place and be your Executive Director. Thanks to Curtis Conner for planning and leading the music. The Support Staff were recognized for a great job in preparing for the meeting: Tiffany Meeder, Iva Fox, Makenzie Woerner, Debbie Toone, Laura Shaw, Andy Weber, Chris Transue, and Fanny Grote. Ebola crises. Three congregations dealing with lose of loved ones in their home land. Glad to be part of a family bearing one another’s burdens. Being part of the convention for half it’s time. 22 years. David Waltz expressed thanks for allowing him to serve the Convention.
Goal to Look Back at our identity then review where we are today.
15 years ago, Task Force to look at the future and envision where we would be in the future. More desire to have hands on, one recommendation that we become the BRN and what that would look like. 2007 the Greater Philadelphia Association began to test. A few years into implementation NAMB changed funding for DOM’s but this was a strategy that was implemented long before.
Looking at present situation: Impact on State Staff. Moving into the four regions. Occupy ½ of space. Rent out downstairs for potential income. Teams moved. Savings in office. Philadelphia bookkeeping saved $30,000 and another $20,000 or so overhead no longer needed by selling the office. Multiplying Church Centers make the decisions for Church Planting. In 2013 had 18 Multiplying Church Centers which was 5% of our churches, but they made up 20% of the Cooperative Program giving. Now have over 30 Multiplying Church Centers. Pastor Clusters, Missional Living Team. We are a network. Pastor Betner serving on Healthy Churches Team, leader to help others; Jay Francoeur; those doing it are networking with others moving forward. We have touched every single giving church this year. Last year Southern Baptists had a decline in Baptisms, we had an increase of 27%. Two million dollars a year are being given to us each year by NAMB. Southern Baptists all over the U.S. sharing and giving. NAMB provides 94% if we have $6 to match. This year extra $70,000 in Church Planting budget. Joining forces together to reach a lost world. Philadelphia Send City. Using people who are doing church planting. Nationally State Conventions have cut or eliminated 1700 positions across the state convention. We have added people. We are not where I wish we were but we are much further ahead due to reaching out into the unknown. We believe God is leading us and we will trust Him.
Final Point: One of challenges going forward. It is not going to get easier. We can do more together than separately. One thing going forward we are raising the bar for affiliation. We have had to drop over 80 churches from our affiliation roll. Some didn’t exist, new pastor didn’t want to be Southern Baptist, some just did not support. 56% of affiliated churches have given to the Cooperative Program. 20 more churches giving this year. Over 72% of churches cooperating in our giving. One goal is to have 100% of our churches participating. We will do everything we can to help them see the value to being a part of Southern Baptists. Each year we need to have churches step up in participation and giving. Some extra monies that we have this year we will not have next year so the churches must step up and give. Perhaps 5th Sunday offering be given to Cooperative Program, 1% increase in giving. We will be celebrating our 45th Anniversary next year. We are having an impact across the Southern Baptist Convention. This is the time of great change. But the greatest change still lies before us. A change in our heart. To reach our goal of spiritual transformation will not happen no matter how much we change our giving patterns. None will matter to a lost and dying world. The lost world doesn’t care. The change will only come from brokenness. The Church has lost its voice to society, we need to get our voice back by our hearts being broken; as American Christians we are living in a bubble when we continue to ignore the brokenness . We need to love one another and show our love for people. 1/2 of our churches are African Americans or Ethnics, and we are growing that number, yet there are things that will need to be tackled in order to stop racism. It is the mercy and love of the Father. God needs to be doing something in our heart to transform our world into the image of Christ. We are going to have an invitation, I’d like you to ask God to break you and help you see how God can speak to us about the situations in the world and time we have on this earth. Be open for reaching hurting people.

Don’t lose heart because the source is still the same. Same source that helped Peter open the eyes of a blind man is the same source today. Same source that raised the Dead is the same source today. Salvation is a process. The development of the church is a process, but if God’s not in it, it won’t work. God is not to reinvent; Purpose is to stick to the source. Baptist Resource Network. Something that will help you as an aid to connect you to the source. We need to get back to our source. Mark 11:23-24. The source is still the same no matter how hard.
This concludes the 44th Annual Meeting of the Baptist Resource Network.

SECTION IV REPORTS
EXECUTIVE BOARD REPORT
Below is a summary of our meetings during this past year.
February 7, 2014 The board approved Sallie Donnor to fill a vacancy on the Board in Conemaugh Valley. Dr. Smith reported on the staff’s RAFT meeting that took place in January. Dr. Waltz gave the financial report and the financial statement was approved as presented. It was reported that there is difficulty in leasing the lower level. A recommendation to pay off the Girard House indebtedness was approved. A motion passed regarding maps in the Holman Christian Standard Bible to resolve that we encourage individuals to take any complaints directly to LifeWay.
May 2, 2014 The board approved Sue Crofutt to fill a vacancy on the Board in Conemaugh Valley. Dr. Waltz gave a financial report; we are 12% under budget through the first quarter. Plans remain in place to lease the office lower level; to use the Temple Baptist Church property in York for a re-start or new church plant; to sell the Keystone Worship Center property in Mechanicsburg then use funds to help churches or use the land for a church plant. All board members should have received the full financial report via email before the meeting; the budget process is somewhat delayed as we await NAMB’s numbers. The board approved a motion to revise the Loan Policy to allow churches to apply for a 2nd lien against church property.
November 6, 2014 Dr. Waltz gave a financial report; once October credit card statements are in, we will be $15-20,000 to the good. We’ll need to manage this by watching spending although no essential things have been cut. The board approved Staff Housing Allowance requests for 2015. The board approved the following policy updates: Credit Card, Flexible Spending, Corporate Vehicle. The board approved the following new policies: Cell Phone, Wellness.

Baptist Builders Sandy Rebuild February 16-21, 2014 Seated below is the team from Thompsontown that traveled to Long Island, NY. The cooks for the week are standing in the back row (plus others not pictured). The volunteers included (left to right): Tony Neimond, Doug Lesher, Steve Winey, Wes Diehl, Dave Varner, Nathan Claybaugh, Jim Winey, and Ernie Pyle.
We helped rebuild the home of Bobby Leigh in Lock Port, NY. Bobby Leigh (pictured on right) lost her husband after a long term illness the Sunday evening we arrived. She has become an active member of the church that initially housed Rebuild teams. The Church was able to provide much support during her time of lost. On our return to Sandy Rebuild March 15-21, 2015 we were able to have a reunion with Bobby Leigh as she proudly showed us her finished home. She told us that Southern Baptists have rebuilt her house and her life – a team from Thompsontown led and champeroned a high school class from Juniata Menonite School who conducted additional work on Bobby Leigh’s home, a few months later in 2014. Her joyous spirit is such a blessing. FOSTERING SPIRITUAL TRANSFORMATION

ANNUAL REPORT Appalachian Regional Ministry October 2014
Fifteen years ago this fall, the respective Southern Baptist State Conventions within the Appalachian region came together with NAMB and the WMU to form a partnership that would “be an intentional missions response to the spiritual and physical needs of persons living in the Appalachian region by mobilizing Southern Baptists and their resources to provide ministries, to evangelize the lost, to assist existing churches and to start new churches in the multi-state region of Appalachia.” Today, Appalachian Regional Ministry (ARM), now a ministry of NAMB continues to work across the twelve state region providing multiple short-term volunteer mission opportunities, finding resources, and assisting church planters, pastors, and associations in meeting the physical and spiritual needs in their area of ministry. Over the past few years as the economy has tightened, there has been a notable change in short-term mission volunteers. Mission teams have gotten smaller and more intentional. At the same time there has been an increase in those desiring to enter into long-term partnerships in order to have a more meaningful and intentional mission’s experience. A second significant change has been in the growing poverty needs that were once primarily limited to the central Appalachian region but now cover the entire area served by ARM. Churches in the south that once traveled to Eastern Kentucky or southern West Virginia to help meet the needs of children in poverty are now utilizing their resources to meet the growing poverty needs of children and families in their local communities. To address physical and spiritual poverty many children face in Appalachia, in 2013 the Georgia Baptist Convention led the way with “Christmas Backpacks for Appalachian Children.” Over 23,808 backpacks were collected and delivered to local churches, church planters, and ministry sites across Appalachia. As the backpacks were delivered and the gospel was shared, literally hundreds of parents, guardians, teenagers, boys and girls came to faith in Christ. In January 2014, NAMB adopted this project as a part of their GPS focus and titled it “LoveLoud Christmas Backpacks.” This year our goal is 40,000 and it has been extended to include the eight states that form the Mississippi River Ministry. To learn more about “LoveLoud Christmas Backpacks” visit namb.net/backpacks/. The A.R.M. Mailbox Bible Club (MBC) has continued to grow with almost 6,000 people having indicated an interest. The MBC is a Bible correspondence program. We now have three MBCs where 30 volunteers weekly receive, grade, provide counsel, and work with students. One is located in West Virginia at Cross Lanes Baptist Church and the other two are located in Florida at Mary Esther First Baptist Church (FBC). The Bible lessons are available in Spanish and are handled by FBC. A rapidly growing part of the MBC are the students who are incarcerated. This club is also a part of FBC which is now processing close to 3,000 lessons a month, mainly prisoners. The letters that are enclosed with the lessons continue to testify to the transforming power of the gospel of Christ. This past year over 45,000 short-term mission volunteers responded to the Great Commission and served in Appalachia in a variety of mission opportunities. As they served over 4,000 salvation decisions were made. This ministry was made possible through the faithful giving of Southern Baptists through the Cooperative Program and their gifts to the Annie Armstrong Easter Offering.
