LINDA JONES TO JOIN CBFNC STAFF AS MISSIONS COORDINATOR The Coordinating Council of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship of North Carolina (CBFNC) has called Linda Marie Jones as Missions Coordinator. Jones was introduced January 19 at a joint meeting of the CBFNC Coordinating and Ministry Councils held at Ardmore Baptist Church in Winston-Salem. Jones has served on the staff of Winter Park Baptist Church in Wilmington since 1996, most recently as Associate Pastor of Missions and Outreach. Jones, a registered nurse, was involved in church planting and partnership missions in Connecticut prior to moving to North Carolina. She holds a Master of Divinity degree from The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. At Winter Park, she coordinated a comprehensive missions ministry with local, national and global expressions. Winter Park is recognized as a model for the missional church concept. The Search Committee which recommended Jones to the Coordinating Council consisted of Jimmy Allen, Wake
Forest; Mavis Bissette, Winston-Salem; David Hood, Hickory; and Bill Jones, Newland. Donald Horton, CBFNC Moderator and Larry Hovis, CBFNC Coordinator, served as ex officio members of the committee. They looked for a person who would be able to lead CBFNC missions to focus on four specific areas: North Carolina missions; church planting; equipping local churches to be missional; and global missions, especially in partnership with CBF. “We are extremely excited to have Linda Jones joining the CBFNC staff to coordinate our missions ministries,” said Hovis. “Linda brings the right combination of missionary passion, spiritual maturity, interpersonal sensitivity and organizational ability to work with the Missions Council, volunteer leaders and local churches to share more effectively the Gospel of Jesus Christ in North Carolina and around the globe.” Jones and her husband, Joseph, will move to the WinstonSalem area to begin her new ministry around March 1.

JOIN JESUS AT THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY - DON HORTON, MODERATOR Join Jesus at the General Assembly? Yes, you read the title of this article correctly. Jesus is going to be at the General Assembly of CBF of North Carolina at Ardmore Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, March 17- 18, 2006. In Matthew 18:20 we read, “For where two or three have gathered together in My name, there I am in their midst.” Admittedly, to say that Jesus will be at the General Assembly involves the use of this scripture verse in a different setting than the one found in scripture. However, I believe it is relevant to our meeting. As used in the scripture passage, Jesus is saying that when people gather in His name to carry out His mission, he is present spiritually to affirm that meeting. The presence of Jesus has been evident over the past year, as the General Assembly Committee has spent hundreds of person-hours planning for this meeting. Co-Chairs Greg Rogers, Pastor and Beth Thompson, Minister of Education at Oakmont Baptist Church in Greenville have prayerfully, efficiently and tirelessly led this group of volunteers from across the state to discern, to the best of their ability, God’s will for each minute detail. Where do you look for Jesus at the General Assembly? One obvious place is in worship, always a highlight of our meetings. Maybe less obvious but just as real, Jesus will be found in the smiles, handshakes and hugs of old friends that you meet again and new friends that you will make. You will never be the same again after having met them in this setting where Jesus is surely present. In writing this article about our General Assembly, I am reminded that this will mark the end of my first year as moderator of this wonderful organization that seeks to serve God by Bringing Baptists of North Carolina Together for Christ-Centered Ministry. First, I want to thank everyone for giving me this
opportunity to serve God and you in this way. Second, I request your continued prayers and support as we begin another year together. When we met last year, we welcomed Larry Hovis as the new Coordinator. Let me assure anyone who may not already know, Larry is doing a superb job and is performing as a seasoned veteran in this position of leadership. Special recognition is also in order for the rest of our CBFNC staff. Rick Jordan, Church Resources Coordinator, continues to juggle his many responsibilities admirably. In addition to serving as the staff person to both the Faith Development Council and Leadership Development Council, he also provides our Reference and Referral Services to churches and pastors. Nancy Parks is the “grease” that keeps the wheel turning smoothly. Those of us in the business world understand the dedicated effort that is required to fulfill the duties related to a position with the title of Office Manager in an office with limited staff. Gail McAlister, Financial Assistant and Beth McGinley, Office Assistant, although part-time, provide invaluable service to the organization. Just as we welcomed Larry Hovis at the 2005 General Assembly, it is our pleasure to welcome Linda Jones, Missions Coordinator, to our staff during this General Assembly. Linda comes to us with great credentials and a desire to serve the Lord through CBFNC. We look forward to working with her as we move to the next level in our mission efforts. A huge thank you is also very much in order to the many volunteers that serve on our Councils and committees. CBFNC could not succeed without their expertise and tireless effort. Come to the General Assembly to worship, renew your sprit, meet old friends and make new ones, be enlightened during our breakouts, thank our volunteers and take the time to meet and encourage our great staff. Oh, do not forget to visit with Jesus while you are there!

SIMULTANEOUS WORSHIP TO BE HIGHLIGHT OF SATURDAY’S ACTIVITIES The General Assembly schedule for Saturday morning will offer multiple options for worship this year. The closing worship at 11:00 a.m. will feature the Baptist Fellowship Choir of North Carolina who participated in last summer’s Baptist World Alliance meeting in Birmingham, England, a sermon by CBFNC Coordinator Larry Hovis, and the sharing of the Lord’s Supper. In addition, three opportunities for worship will be offered during the Simultaneous Worship time at 9:00 a.m., which will emphasize the assembly theme of “Living Water in a Starbucks World.”
• Multi-Cultural Worship Experience •
• Walking the Labyrinth & Contemplative Worship •
A multi-cultural worship service will be led by the Winston Salem Chinese Christian Church, which meets weekly at Ardmore Baptist Church. This service will give participants the opportunity to experience a worship service led by the choir, other church leaders, and the church pastor, Dr. Frank Li.
A labyrinth is a circular design which allows a person to follow the path to the center and return along the same path to the beginning. The purpose of the labyrinth is to allow people to come find a space for prayer and meditation with God. Directions and suggestions for walking the labyrinth will be given each worship participant. The walk will take approximately 20 minutes, depending on one’s pace, and will be limited to 8 to 10 participants at any given time to allow for a spacious journey to the center of the labyrinth. For that reason, the labyrinth will be available for individuals to walk throughout the entire General Assembly beginning on Friday afternoon through Saturday morning. In addition, members of Ardmore Baptist and First Baptist Churches in Winston-Salem will set up quiet rooms off the Chapel where worshipers can gather for contemplative experiences of worship through prayer, meditation, and journaling.
• Emerging Worship Experience • Emerging worship seeks to blend contemporary elements of music, drama, proclamation, video, technology, and the arts involving a multi-sensory perspective with some of the ancient practices and spiritual disciplines of the church such as prayer, meditation, and silence. The worship environment encourages congregational participation as worship participants move to various stations for communion, prayer, and other acts of worship. The worship team from Oakmont Baptist Church in Greenville will lead this emerging worship experience.
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OFFERING TO BENEFIT THE BAPTIST BIBLE SCHOOL OF BELIZE
The inaugural class of the Baptist Bible School of Belize along with Bob Lamb, Dennis Hipp, Executive Secretary of the Baptist Association of Belize Rev. Antolino Flores, and Dr. Jack Watson.
Please come to the CBFNC General Assembly prepared to contribute to this new and exciting project. Imagine being called to preach the Word of God, but having no opportunity for religious training. What began in May 2003 as Pastor Training Seminars sponsored by FBC Lexington, has evolved into a permanent Baptist Bible School in Belize. Long a desire of the Belizean pastors, it is a place where Baptist pastors and other interested church members can gain religious training. This desire became a reality on January 9, 2006 with the opening session of the Baptist Bible School of Belize. Eight Belizean Baptist men enrolled — six pastors, and two pastors-in-training, ages 19 to 59. Dr. Robert Lamb, Dean Emeritus of Gardner-Webb (Continued on page 6)

THERE’S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR I am a big Carolina Panthers fan. I have two sweatshirts and a hoodie with oversized Panthers logos. I rearrange my schedule to watch games or at least listen to them on the radio. I speak knowingly of Steve Smith and Jake Delhomme. I am a big fan – for about two weeks out of every year, or so. The reality is I’m a fair-weathered fan. In the last several weeks of the season as the Panthers seemed to have another real shot at the Super Bowl, I got very interested in them. How could I help it? They dominated the news and every sports conversation. The whole region bled black. We all wanted the Panthers to advance, to win, to prove that “we are the champions.” And I included myself in that “we,” although I’ve never played football for the Panthers or even been to their stadium. (I’ve driven by it many times, so could give you directions, if necessary.) Still, for the last few weeks of the season, I was a fan. Now that the season is over for “us,” I have less interest. The Panthers will very quickly become “them” – those over-paid, over-sized, probablyusing-steroids, self-centered, egotistical jocks. (See how quickly a fair-weathered fan can turn on you?) However, there’s always next year. Do you know any fair-weathered Jesus fans? At certain seasons of the year, they wear the right clothes, they attend the right meetings, they re-learn the names of the key players at their local church. For two weeks or so, they are big fans of Jesus. They become “we.” Then, something happens. There is a loss of some sort over at the church and
- RICK JORDAN, CHURCH RESOURCES COORDINATOR they become disenchanted. Church people become “them” again. At least until next year’s big games. It’s easy to be critical of such persons. We smirk at their lack of commitment. We may even make a comment to them as they enter the church on one of the Big Days like, “I’m sorry, were you looking for the golf course?” or “Back for your yearly fix?” We are amazed that they don’t know the name of our pastor’s spouse or the average offering numbers. How big of a fan are they, really? And it makes us feel rather good, even superior, to know that they don’t have what we have – a tattoo of our church’s steeple on our upper arm. Okay, most of us don’t have that, but we do have a feeling that we are the real fans and that they are the upper deck, cheap seaters here for a momentary thrill. I think things would be very different for me as a Panthers fan if some things would change. For example, if Jake would call me someday and say. “let’s have lunch,” I’d be surprised, but I’m sure I’d go. If we went to lunch and we talked about our families and funny things that happened during our growing-up years and we talked about our jobs and what we hope to get out of life and what we want to contribute to others’ lives – I think if I got to know Jake because Jake wanted to get to know me, I could become a Panther’s fan for a whole season. And I could become a friend for life. I’m wondering if there isn’t some lesson there for those of us who follow the Man who said. “Go ye into the whole world and make hot-hearted fans for me”? (Rick Jordan will be leading an outreach workshop at the General Assembly on “Passionate Moderates for Jesus.”)
GENERAL ASSEMBLY OFFERING, continued from page 5 University Divinity School, is leading this part of our Belize Partnership. Dr. Lamb and Dr. Jack Watson (pictured to the right with the session’s youngest student, Ryan), Senior Pastor of Woodhaven Baptist Church in Apex, NC, served as the teachers for these first courses, and Dennis Hipp, FBC Lexington, and CBFNC Lay Coordinator for Belize Missions, served as general coordinator and worked with team building among the pastors in attendance. Three training sessions are scheduled each year, with students attending classes on three subjects and then continuing their studies at home. At the beginning of each new session, students take an exam on the just completed courses. Although the pastors are poor (the average salary for a man in Belize is $20 a day), they are responsible for providing their own transportation to the school and their
dorm fees, but they are willing to make such a sacrifice for this opportunity. CBFNC is sponsoring the training school, and students who complete the three-year course of study will be granted a certificate from Cape Town Baptist Seminary in South Africa. Textbooks (shipped from Africa), food, and instructional supplies for the training weeks are provided by CBFNC; thus, the cost of this long awaited training opportunity is estimated to be $1200 per pastor per year.

OF LOST WHALES AND LIVING WATER
- LARRY HOVIS, COORDINATOR
Did you hear about the whale in London’s Thames River? In mid-January, the Winston-Salem Journal reported that a seventeen-foot long northern bottle-nosed whale was spotted as it swam in the murky waters of the Thames, the first such sighting in the river since the British began keeping whale-watching records in 1913. The whale had become disoriented and strayed far from its home in the cold, salty waters of the North Atlantic. Londoners gathered on the banks of the Thames watched the struggles of the whale and of those trying to coax it back toward its home in the ocean. Laila Sadler, the scientific officer at the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals stated: “A whale in the shallow water of the River Thames is like a human lost in the heat of the Sahara desert. It’s just not made for these conditions . . . . We are worried that it will survive only for 24 to 48 hours if it doesn’t head back to sea.” Geographical dislocation is not the only way to be lost. Like the whale in the Thames, we sometimes find ourselves lost, far from home, in conditions that make us unhealthy and can lead to death. Just as a whale needs the right kind of water to survive, people need what Jesus called “living water” (John 4:10). As Christians, we acknowledge that only Jesus can provide the living water we need, not only to survive, but to thrive and experience abundant life. As Baptists, we believe the living water of Jesus is experienced not in any old brackish tributary, but in a vast ocean of freedom in Christ mediated by Biblical principles such as soul competency, local church autonomy, religious freedom and mutual trust and cooperation in missions. Much of the modern world, both religious and secular, is not conducive to the Baptist understanding of the living water of Jesus. Too often, the choice seems to be between a secularized dry creek bed with no room for God, or a fundamentalist pond so tightly dammed there is no room for the flowing of the Spirit. For Baptists who find themselves swimming in a religious stream that no longer supports their

spiritual growth and health, CBF provides an ocean of freedom in Christ they once knew, but has been taken away with the tide of religious fundamentalism that is sweeping our world. North Carolina Baptists who have already been swimming in the CBF stream, as well as those who are new to this river of life, will find the CBFNC General Assembly, March 17-18, to be a time of renewal and refreshment. This year’s theme is Living Water in a Starbucks World. It is a time to drink deeply of the Spirit of Christ. It is a time of fellowship with those who share common Baptist values and a desire to cooperate in the mission of Christ. It is a time of equipping for ministry in the church and our complex world through practical ministry workshops and resources. It is a time of inspiration and quenching spiritual thirst through worship and other experiences, such as guided meditation and walking a labyrinth. If it’s not already on your calendar, I hope you’ll plan on making the journey to Ardmore Baptist Church in WinstonSalem for the 2006 CBFNC General Assembly. Try to bring a vanload of fellow pilgrims from your church. There is no registration fee, nor are their limits on how many persons from a particular church can participate. The only requirement is that you come prayerfully and expectantly with a desire to experience the Living Water. Although rescuers were able to load the Thames whale onto a barge and begin to transport it back to sea, they were too late. The whale had been away from the “living water” of the ocean so long, it was too weak to make the return trip and perished on the barge. At CBFNC, we take seriously our mission to “rescue the perishing” with the living water of Jesus. The General Assembly gives us an opportunity to celebrate our efforts and to receive the nourishment we need to continue the journey.
