2024 PERRY COUNTY CHRISTMAS MISSION KICKOFF
We held our 2024 Perry County Christmas Mission Kickoff Meeting Tuesday, September 10. Our devotion was given by Carolyn Pipkins from Psalm 9:18, “For the needy shall not always be forgotten: The expectation of the poor shall not perish forever.” Bringing out the humbleness of the people who come to the mission, looking for HOPE, real HOPE and never crushing anyone’s HOPE. The depth of our real HOPE is in Jesus Christ, the original Christmas gift to all mankind.
PLEASE MARK YOUR CALENDARS FOR THE NEXT MEETING, OCTOBER 1, 6:30 PM, at the PCBA office, 103 North Front Street, New Augusta.
While we take great joy in hosting the organizational meetings, this is truly the work of many, many churches and businesses in Perry County. We encourage you, your business, and your church to join us in this great work.
In December 2023, we served 735 people, 348 children, in more than 200 families with food, clothing, toys, blankets and more.
For the children’s gifts, here is a list of what we are looking for: Babies – Shoe box with powder, lotion, etc. & small toy for the baby. Girls 2 to 10 years old – baby doll. Boys 2 to 10 years old – Truck. Girls 11 years old and up – nice hat & scarf set, jewelry sets, watch. Boys 11 years old and up – basketballs, footballs, etc. or watch. Used toys in “like new” condition are welcome.
You can also donate things to put in Christmas stockings. Other items may include blankets, throws, coats of all sizes, and school supplies.
We anticipate the food box cost this year to be $85 per box. We order all the food from one supplier to try to make sure each box is equally proportioned. This box will include all the basics for a good Christmas dinner. Donations are tax-deductible, and we can provide receipts if needed. Checks can be made out to the Perry County Baptist Association.
The date for the Perry County Christmas Mission is set for December 14. Workers usually arrive at 7 AM for devotion and to organize work teams for each station. We welcome all the help we can get on the day of the distribution. If your church or youth group would like to help, please come.
The Perry County Christmas Mission will be at the Community Center in Beaumont, by the old school. We reserved the community center for Monday through Friday too, so we have plenty of time to fill the boxes and stage everything.
AGAIN, PLEASE JOIN US AT OUR NEXT ORGANIZATIONAL MEETING OCTOBER 1, 6:30 PM at the PCBA Office, 103 North Front Street, New Augusta.
I hope to see you in the great field that is ready for harvest.

Each night, churches from that part of Perry County, will come together under one roof, to be encouraged. Hebrews 10:“24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.[1]”
Will you lay aside every weight and the sin that so easily besets you to come out, be encouraged, then run the race that God has set before you? Hebrews 12 “Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us, 2 Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.[2]”
I look forward to seeing you in the great harvest!

Getting free from your addiction. Take the only road that leads away from your addiction.
The story of Rahab is found in the Bible in the book of Joshua. She was a prostitute who realized who God was and it changed her heart. God used her
to help His people take the city of Jericho. Rahab and her family were spared from death because she chose to serve God instead of serving her own desires.
We chose the name Rahab's House because it is a place of safety and salvation. People can meet here, face their addiction, and discover God's
amazing grace. God loves you! God never intended for an addiction to take over your life. Our prayer is that people will see how their addiction can be
defeated. Leading them to the Cross will lead them to a life God intended for them to have. As recovery from addiction begins to happen a person will see how much control they really have over their own life. The choices we make lead us down roads. We can choose a road of addiction or we can choose a Road to Recovery!
This is a 12-Step biblical approach in helping you on your road to addiction recovery. Rahab's House is not a place to live but a place to meet. We will help you to get your life back to what it was before your addiction or to something new and better for you. Where the road leads you is up to you. We are here to help you along the way with every step and with every challenge you may face. We can only show you how a life with Jesus is the true road to recovery. What you decide to do on that road will be up to you.
Jesus said, "Come unto Me, all of you who are weary and carry heavy burdens, and I will give you rest." - Matthew 11:28 (NLT)
Our Life Recovery meetings will be held on Tuesday nights from 7:00pm until all needs are met at 301 N. Holly Street in Richton, MS 39476. Meetings are also held in the Perry County Jail, where we have seen many come to Christ and follow through with Baptisms. If you have any questions please feel free to call Perry County Baptist Association: 601-964-3708
Each year federal, state and local government spend close to $500 billion on addiction and risky substance use, but for every dollar that federal and state government spends, only 2 cents goes to prevention and treatment. More than 90% of people with addictions began smoking, drinking or using drugs before the
age of 18. 1 in 7 Americans over the age of 12 has an addiction to nicotine, alcohol or drugs. (Stats were found at: www.casacolumbia.org)
