Men on Mission: by Melvin Fallin

"When the Layman's Missionary Movement began in 1096, Southern Baptist reacted quickly.  On May 16, 1907 preceding the Southern Baptist Convention's opening session, Annie Armstrong's cousin, Joshua Levering of Maryland and Governor W. J. Northen of Georgia, called a meeting to discuss how Baptist men in the convention could be involved.  From this meeting came the Baptist Laymen's Missionary Movement, the forerunner of the Southern Baptist Brotherhood.

It was not until 1941 that First Baptist, Thomaston, organized their first Brotherhood.  The Brotherhood held its organization meeting on December 1, at the suggestion of Mr. W.C. Day.  Since that time there has been an organized group of men dedicated to a fellowship that seeks to help the church perform the task of teaching missions to men and boys, engaging them in mission action and leading them to support world missions through prayer and giving.   

 

The Brotherhood meets the first Monday night of each month at 6:30 pm in the fellowship hall. Dinner is served, a mission program is conducted, then a discussion of projects.  The group sponsor the Boy Scouts, Boy's on Mission and participates in handyman projects such as  building a ramp for handicapped cancer patients and constructing a booth for "Journey to the Manger".  The Brotherhood ministry donates to their own treasury to fund mission work such as the Cancer Care Ministry and designated project of the church.

Brotherhood officers for 2007-2008 are Melvin Fallin, President; Sam Gregory, Vice President; and Jim Franklin Secretary/Treasurer.  We are committed to minister to men and through men, providing an environment where men are changed by the power of God to actively work in the church and community.  Our Brotherhood's objective is to enable Christian men to grow closer to Christ, and each other and then reach out to all people in need, by helping in any way we can.  Each of us has special God-given talents that we can use to help others.


From Brotherhood, supported by the Southern Baptist Convention, to Baptist Men on Mission now sponsored by the North American Mission Board, the focus of this group has broadened in concept.  Prior to 1997, Baptist Men was resourced from the Southern Baptist Convention's Brotherhood Commission.  It is now resourced from the North American Mission Board. 

Join Baptist Men on Mission (Brotherhood) on the first Monday night of each month, at 6:30 ;pm in the fellowship hall and prepare for the tasks of bringing men to God through Christ by fostering programs that will assist the churches in leading men, young men, and boys to a deeper commitment to missions, to a larger stewardship on behalf of missions, and to a personal involvement in missions.
