My wife Ann and I have been members at First Baptist Nashville for almost four years, and Ann teaches a Bible class each Sunday. We have come to realize the importance of and appreciation for the involvement of so many people in the varied ministries of First Baptist Nashville!
We are really thrilled that our gifts and your gifts help...
• the Tennessee Baptist Convention aid and support people in times of need through disaster relief projects;
• mission trips more numerous than we can recall and to more locales than I can imagine;
• ongoing ministries in the city and region to touch lives for Christ;
• change lives and influence people each Sunday at First Baptist Nashville--from those who are mobile, to those just getting along physically, to those heroes of faith who persevere in the face of challenging physical difficulties to be in the Lord's House.
So, a special thanks to each and every one who makes possible the ministries of First Baptist Nashville through gifts...and for those who help administer and give oversight for the effective use of gifts providing ministries, personnel, facilities, and missions!
We hope YOU are part of the answer in your faithfulness and gifts.
