Women on Mission - October 2019

main image

Receipts for the World Hunger Offering are $1,442.99.  Thank you to all the Oakhill families who gave to this important ministry! We are told by Bread for the World that one in five children in the US are affected by this problem.  Total receipts since 1981 are $50,333.50. 

We have been asked by the Evansville Rescue Mission to collect macaroni and cheese (not cake mix) for their Gobbler Gathering.  We hope to collect at least 750 boxes. Those may be left in the lower level lobby beginning Sunday, October 6th. (Please be sure each box is not outdated.) Deadline is Sunday, November 10th. We have been involved in this ministry since 1996 when we collected 740 cans of green beans (much cheaper then.)

I was pleased and amazed recently to see an article in the Evansville Courier and Press about a Southern Baptist missionary martyr. A quiet Knoxville, Tennessee boy, Bill Wallace became a beloved physician and Baptist missionary serving southern China for 15 years. In December of 1950, Chinese Communist soldiers arrested him. By then, every Baptist Missionary except him and a nurse had left the country. He was accused of being a spy, tortured, and killed. He was buried in China. Thirty-four years later his remains were brought home to Knoxville. A book “Bill Wallace of China” was written about his selfless life.

Women on Mission will meet Monday, October 14th at 6:00 pm at the church.  All our ladies are invited to be with us.
