Pray for TBMB Executive Director, Dr. Randy C. Davis. Most call him Brother Randy. He is a pastor to pastors as he contacts scores of pastors each month. Ask God to give him strength, endurance and wisdom as he ministers to pastors today.

Pray for Dr. Randy C. Davis as he hits the road to minister to pastors. Because of COVID-19, he has made thousands of phone calls throughout 2020. But as the vaccine is disseminated, he is planning for more face-to-face meetings. Our pastors need his wisdom, support and presence.
Looking at all the streaming numbers of churches. Even the smallest of our churches had great views and amazing messages! Way to go pastors! I think you broke the internet😀
Pray for the Knox County Association of Baptists and Director of Missions, Phil Young as he serves the churches in Knox County. Pray for the churches as they seek to discover practical ways to engage their communities and meet the needs of underserved populations.

This morning,
@RandyCDavistbc
met with our staff, urging, directing and inspiring us to follow guidelines and serve our churches during this time. The great majority of our staff will be telecommuting, but we will be working. We can be reached by phone or email.
Be intentional about eating, shopping, and playing at the same locations for the purpose of building relationships with employees and fellow patrons. Ask for people's names. Ask how you can pray for them. After you pray, follow up with them.
@SamGreer_PSG
Pray for Rodney Norvell and the UT Knoxville BCM as they continue to conduct life groups. They are experiencing great participation and discipleship is still happening, despite the restrictions of COVID-19.
#GoldenOffering
Many churches are experiencing great tithes and offerings despite all the limitations they have experienced over the past few months. Take a moment to thank God for the generosity of tithers and their sacrificial trust in Jesus.
Tennessee Hope Line: Pray for this new phone line in which Sr. Adults 60+ can call for conversation and assistance. Volunteers were recruited from TBC churches. COVID left many senior adults lonely and needing assistance. This helps meet the needs of 1.2 million Sr. Adults in TN.
2019: 288 churches attend YEC in Nashville. As of this Friday morning we have 337 registered for YEC Watch Party. This represents thousands of students! Pray for YEC tomorrow night.
In case you missed the news, Cooperative Program giving was up 2.2 percent in Tennessee last year. Thank you! As a result more resources we made available to Missions across our state and around the world. Interestingly, baptisms were also up 2...
Pray for Tennessee Tech BCM students who will meet with Lewis McMullen and Kevin Minchey about church planting and church revitalization in Tennessee. Pray that God will raise up ministers to be a great witness to the gospel in local communities in Tennessee.
#GoldenOffering
Where’d everybody go? Apart from our I.T. the TBMB has left the building and we are working harder than ever. Many of our missionaries are working 10-12+ hours a day, serving churches. Come to think of it, we are more like the early church!
#WeServeChurches
Tennessee Baptist churches are the greatest! This week we broke the record for giving through the Golden Offering for State Missions! We are so grateful! God will use this money to fund missions all across the state.
I think that churches, for good or bad, usually follow the pattern of their pastor. Wherever his spiritual level is, they will never rise above that.
@bellevuepastor
Hard to believe our friend (and probably yours) Tim Bearden officially retires TODAY! What a faithful, compassionate, servant Tim has been to Tennessee Baptists for a long time. If you want to send a note of congrats...
Christ on the cross—appearance unrecognizable, his love uncontainable, his cross, undeniable, his death unavoidable, his enemy unprofitable, His father unbeatable, His grace unfathomable…
@SamGreer_PSG
With the spread of the coronavirus, let’s pray for
@JoeSorah

"Don’t underestimate the power of open, honest and vulnerable dialogue with the youth in your church about their worries, anxieties and fears."

Pray for Joel Pigg and the ministry of Salem Baptist Church, Trenton as the church seeks to meet the needs of those in poverty in Trenton, through their ministry efforts.
Pray for our disaster relief teams as they gear up and prepare for a busy spring. Ask God to raise up more volunteers and the resources they will need to rebuild, feed, and witness.
#GoldenOffering
Pray for students over the holiday break. Many students will have around two months between their semesters this year, and that downtime can be dangerous. Pray that students will be productive in their spiritual growth. Pray they will establish some priorities to work toward.

#WinTN
Be SAFE: wear a mask, wash your hands, avoid unnecessary risks.
Be COURAGEOUS: Share the Gospel, practice outrageous generosity, serve your neighbor, and tear down barriers with unconditional love and relentless grace.
Pray for Paul Fries and the New Salem Baptist Association’s clothing ministry, “Hope Center.” The ministry has seen six persons come to Christ since the first of September.
#GoldenOffering
Pray for bivocational pastors. If you know a bivocational pastor, pray for him by name today. GOTM continues to support these men and their wives through training, encouragement, and coaching.
When you give, you're not just paying bills, you're not just giving to ministry or giving so that the lights can stay on... No, you are exhibiting grace.
@micahfries
Pray for students struggling with loneliness and isolation during the pandemic. Ask God to give our Baptist Collegiate Ministries (BCM) the tools they need to help, counsel, heal, and evangelize.
