A Calvinist Helping Missions?

Dear Readers,

I still need your help in being sponsored and this is the last week!

This Friday, November 21st, I will be joining 30 other men to help raise money for the Sandy Springs Mission in Atlanta, GA.  I found out last week that this mission will most likely run out of money in March 2009.

What this mission does

Sandy Springs Mission ministers to children in our community by:

• after-school programs (designed to help increase the literacy rate among low-income families)

A Calvinist Missionary and Other Notables

When it comes to missions and evangelism in the Southern Baptist Convention today’s hot button is Calvinism and it’s resurgence among younger Southern Baptists.  Is the concern that Calvinism does and will stifle missions and evangelism in the SBC valid?  The answer seems to depend on who you ask.  Regardless of theology, it’s a Gospel issue and  a sin problem.  One of my dead horses is a concern of pelagianism which I’ve mention recently.

So what does Calvinist missionary Kevin L. Howard say ON BEING A SBC CALVINIST (& MISSIONARY)?

Help Needed for Local Atlanta Mission

Dear Readers,

I need your help!

On November 21st, I’m going to join 30 other men and play in a golf tournament in Atlanta, Georgia. This is not a situation where those with money pay for an overpriced round of golf and a chance to miss work! It is, however, a charity event, where we hope to be amazed by what a group of people working together can accomplish. You can be a part of this effort by sponsoring me in the Sandy Springs Mission Golf Challenge.
