‘Discern’ designed to help guide those who feel call to ministry

February 7, 2022

Do you have high school or college-age students who have experienced a call to vocational ministry or are exploring a call?

Discern is a weekend retreat designed to help students along this exciting journey. Led by a volunteer staff of Mississippi Baptist Student Ministers, Discern will look at 3 areas:

— Focus on their SHAPE (spiritual gifts, heart ability, personality, experience)
— Take a biblical look at a call to ministry
— Practical Look at ministry and the various types of ministry

There also will be a time for fellowship and team-building to help students understand the importance of encouraging one another and to know that they are not alone in this journey.

Southern Baptists mobilizing
for wildfire relief, financial,
prayer support needed
LOS ANGELES (BP) — Send Relief, Southern Baptists’ compassion ministry, has established a giving channel to help in the wake of the devastating fires in Los Angeles and the surrounding area. Los Angeles is home to one of Send Relief’s ministry centers, spread around the U.S. In a video posted Friday (Jan. 10), ministry center director Darryl Speers gave an update. A team is currently serving at the ministry center, located in L.A.’s notorious Skid Row, providing hot meals, water and even face masks. Around 180,000 people have been displaced by the fires, Speers said. Family members of local church partners have lost their homes. “We are partnering together with Southern Baptist Disaster Relief that is also here with us as we prepare for a massive cleanup effort over the next few days and months here in Los Angeles,” said Speers. Kendrick Neal, director of California Southern Baptist Disaster Relief, confirmed in a Jan. 9 release that CSBDR is in communication with the City of Los Angeles, the Emergency Network of Los Angeles, the Red Cross, the Salvation Army, first responders and local churches. They have been asked to help with “support at the Local Assistance Centers, spiritual care, and clean-up once the fires have been contained.”
