As we look to 2016, I am very excited to see all that God
has in store for the Columbus Baptist Association. We
are announcing our Spring Revival – Columbus for Christ
– which will be an old-fashioned tent revival with not
only the Baptist Association churches participating, but
all of our Crusade churches worshiping with us.
March 6-9, in the big field between Chadbourn
Pentecostal Holiness Church and Living Word Church,
located on Strawberry Blvd, we will gather each night to
worship and to praise our God. On Sunday night, Rev.
Greg Spaulding, pastor at Union Baptist Church in Lake
Waccamaw will speak and our Crusade Choir will bring
special music.
On Monday night, Rev. Donald Conway, pastor at
Chadbourn PHC will speak and we will have a mass choir
from our CBA churches bring special music.
WOW
On Tuesday night, Rev. Donald Carter, pastor at New
Hope Baptist Church in Buckhead will speak and our CBA
mass choir will once again bring the music.

On Wednesday night, which will be our youth emphasis
night, Rev. Ryan Edwards, pastor at Clarendon Baptist
Church will speak and the band Consumed will bring the
special music, along with Holley and Aubrey from Porter
Swamp Baptist Church.

Happy New Year!!! Now that the Christmas celebrations
are behind us, we can focus on the New Year ahead and
all that God has in store for us, our churches, and our
Association. The New Year always gives us a sense of a
fresh start, an opportunity to begin anew. It reminds me
of how Jesus forgives us of our sins and gives us a new
start when we come to faith in Him, and how every day
He continues to forgive us and wipe the slate clean.
WOW

From the Desk of Dave
Please make your plans now to come and join us for this
exciting time of worship as we gather to revive the saints
of God. Bring your church family. Bring your own family.
Bring your neighbors and friends. This will surely be a
great time of revival and renewal for the people of God
in Columbus County!
In His love and service,
Dave
Evangelism Team Update
The year 2015 will go down as a great year of evangelism
in Columbus County thanks to the Go Tell Columbus Crusade.
People are still coming to know the Lord as Savior and
rededicating their lives to the service of the Lord because of the
moving of the Holy Spirit that was so evident in the Crusade.
The Columbus Baptist Association Evangelism Team
began working on plans to continue the momentum of what took
place with our recent Go Tell Columbus Crusade.
Please mark your calendars for the dates of March 6th –
9th for the Columbus for Christ Tent Revival. You will see all the
information in another part of this newsletter.
Your prayers are needed for this revival. Prayer was the
biggest reason the Crusade was such a success.
Donations are needed as well. Any event such as this
requires funds and we pray you and your church will join in the
funding of the revival. We encourage all churches to consider
setting aside February 7, 2016 as Columbus for Christ day and
receive a special offering for these expenses.
The Bible teaches us that we are to be working for our
Lord and Savior until the day that Jesus returns. Let’s respond to
that command in a grand way.

Another successful Toy Store has now been entered into the history of 2015. In fact, this has
been the most successful Toy Store we have had in the 5 years Columbus Baptist have been
participating in this ministry.
THANK YOU is not enough to communicate to all the churches, pastors, businesses, and
volunteers who have been a part of this year’s store.
Over 198 families with a little over 560 children were recipients of this ministry. This year’s
donations of toys and monies went well over $30,000.00.
The greatest outcome though was the 47 souls that were added to the Kingdom of our Lord
and Savior and the 8 rededications that were made. Praise the Lord! The smiles and tears on the
faces of the parents that went through the store were something we will never forget.
The Toy Store Banquet for all volunteers will be held on January 29th at 6:30 pm in the
conference room at the Columbus Baptist Association Office. Everyone is encouraged to attend and
bring your covered dishes to share with everyone.
Our prayer now is that the 2016 Toy Store will surpass what was accomplished in 2015.
Thank You!
