Audrey Boyne Surrenders to Missions
Audrey Boyne, daughter of pastor Rick Boyne and his wife, Sally, attended Falls Creek Baptist Encampment two weeks ago with Emmanuel Baptist Church of Enid, OK. The last evening there, she felt God’s call on her life for service as an overseas missionary. Due to extenuating circumstances, she was unable to make her call known public at the Falls Creek Tabernacle Invitation.
Yesterday morning, she came forward during the invitation time at her home church to make her decision public. The whole congregation affirmed her in her decision and promised to support her with prayer and finances. After the service was completed, Audrey greeted the whole church in a reception line.
Audrey already has a vast experience in missions. She is an MK (Missionary Kid) having lived in Guinea, Senegal, Ivory Coast, Thailand and Hong Kong. She has also traveled to The Gambia, Togo, Singapore, Macau, China, and Mongolia. Her heart for missions started when she was just 2 1/2 years old as her parents became missionaries with the IMB in Guinea, West Africa. She has lived 8 of her 12 years overseas. She will enter the 7th grade at Wagoner Middle School this fall.
Won’t you join with us as we pray for Audrey and guide her in her journey with God to fulfill the Great Commission?

Here are some “Sound Bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “Practical Atheism” based on I Samuel 17:
- Many Christians live a life no different than a non-Christian.
- Many Christians continue to ignore God in their everyday lives.
- Many Christians have forgotten what God has done for them.
- Many Christians focus on their physical needs instead of their spiritual needs.
- Many Christians choose to remain inactive, instead of working for the Lord.
- If you were accused of being a Christian, would there be enough evidence to convict you?

Due to a technical error, Sunday evening’s sermon, “Give it up” was not recorded.

Mission Quote of the Week
“Amongst many who sought to deter me, was one dear old Christian gentleman, whose crowning arguments always was, ‘The Cannibals! you will be eaten by cannibals!’ At last I replied, ‘Mr. Dickson, you are advanced in years now, & your own prospect is soon to be laid in the grave, there to be eaten by worms; I confess to you, that if I can but live & die serving and honoring the Lord Jesus, it will make no difference to me whether I am eaten by cannibals or by worms.’” – John G. Paton

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday’s sermon “Full of Doubt” based on John 20:1-29:
- Thomas made a mistake by leaving the fellowship of believers when he was suffering and had doubts instead of staying with them.
-
Thomas did right by not pretending to believe when he really didn’t.
-
Thomas gets a bad rap because he expresses his doubts out-loud.
-
Jesus knew and addressed his words of doubt.
-
When he did believe, he went “full tilt”. Not only did he proclaim Jesus to be his master, but also his God.
-
Jesus said, “You needed the eyes of sight to make you believe; but the days will come when people will see with the eye of faith, and will believe”.
-
THOSE DAYS ARE HERE!

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “Are you a Convert or a Disciple?” based on Matthew 7: 24-27.
-
A convert is one who has been persuaded from one belief or view to another.
-
A disciple is one who accepts and assists in spreading the doctrines of another.
-
A convert could be a true believer or one in “name” only.
-
A disciple is someone who is following Jesus and obeying His commandments.
-
The Great Commission did not say, “Go and make converts…”; it said, “Go and make disciples…”
-
Jesus said, “If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross daily and follow Me.”
-
Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.”
-
Jesus said, “Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me.”

Here are some “sound bites” from Sunday morning’s sermon, “When Depression Looms” based on Psalm 77:
-
Send an “S.O.S.” to God.
-
Emotions sabotage reason.
-
Don’t pretend; be honest with God. Don’t think you will offend God by “opening up”.
-
Choose to redirect your thoughts; focus on past times where God blessed you.
-
Magnify God to diminish your problems.
-
Worship is not the natural tendancy of the depressed person.
-
Worship can move you from self-absorbed depression to a God-enthralled declaration of faith.
