President’s Message

Greetings From The President

Greetings, Progressive Constituency, Special Guest, Visitors, and Friends.

Welcome, to the Ninety-Third Annual Session of the Progressive Missionary and Educational Baptist Convention of Florida, Inc. I greet each of you, members of the Progressive family, our guest and friends who have come to share this session with us this week!

We are indeed happy to be in the great city of Lakeland! I am thankful to the Almighty God for his grace and mercy as He allows us to meet and convene across the state throughout the year.

First, I wish to express my sincere appreciation to Dr. Alex Harper and the First Institutional Missionary Baptist Church family, who accepted the challenge to host our 2007 session. Also, special thanks to all of the surrounding pastors and churches that open the doors to our various ministries so that we can all be in a church setting.

As we approach this Ninety-Third session, and as I reflect upon this our first year as your leader, I am happy to say we have had a very productive year. All of our officers are in place; they have their assignments, and at our Winter Board session their reports reflected they were about the work of Progressive Convention. To each officer who serves in those capacities, we appreciate the service you’re giving and the accomplishments you have made. This is only the beginning of a wonderful journey God is going to allow us to travel together as we promote His agenda and do those things that have been assigned to our hands. Remember, it is “only what we do for Christ will last!”

First Institutional has planned well for our visit in Lakeland this week. It is my prayer that we have come to worship and celebrate this year of service. I hope that each of us will be enriched by what we hear and see, and that we will leave refreshed, refueled, and ready to do more for the cause of Christ.

Have a spirit-filled session, and a safe trip home.

Reverend Dr. Bartholomew Banks, Sr.

Members of the Women’s Intermediate Auxiliary of the Progressive Missionary and Educational Baptist State Convention of Florida, Inc. are committed to carrying out the Great Commission of God through evangelism; be it spiritually, financially, educationally, culturally, or socially throughout our local communities and abroad.

Litany

LEADER: We encourage a greater participation in reaching out to the youth and other individuals with special needs. We develop home missions, foreign missions, education, programs, and evangelism ministries to fulfill the objectives. We believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of Heaven and Earth, and in Jesus Christ, His only Son, and our Lord, who was born of the Virgin Mary, and died in our stead as an atoning sacrifice for sin.

W.I.A.: As a Christian and Missionary, I accept the great command that God has given me to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LEADER: We believe that He rose from the dead in human body, and ascended to heaven therein.

W.I.A.: As a Christian and Missionary, I accept the great command that God has given me to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LEADER: We believe that He will return visibly in judgment to raise the dead, and reign forever in the glorified body, as the everlasting incarnation of God.

W.I.A.: As a Christian and Missionary, I accept the great command that God has given me to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LEADER: We believe in the Holy Spirit, who exists externally with the Father and the Son in the unity of the Godhead, and regenerates and sanctifies the penitent through faith in Christ.

W.I.A.: As a Christian and Missionary, we accept the great command that God has given us to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LEADER: We believe that the Holy Bible is the Word of God, the supreme authority in religion, and in the light of all the facts concerning it, without errors of any kind, except small literary ones in the translations.

W.I.A.: As a Christian and Missionary, I accept the great command that God has given me to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LEADER: We believe that those who have accepted the Lord Jesus Christ as their Redeemer are saved through His merits alone, while those who in His eyes, reject Him, will suffer the eternal consequences of sin in hell.

W.I.A.: As a Christian and Missionary, I accept the great command that God has given me to spread the gospel of Jesus Christ.

LEADER: We believe that the Christ church universal is the company of all who are redeemed by the blood of Christ, and are formed by the Holy Spirit into one spiritual body, of which Christ alone is the Head.

ALL: We believe that it is the mission of the church to share Christ’s death and resurrection through personal faith in Him, as signified by baptism; to glorify Him by good works; to give His gospel to all men; and to wait for His appearing in partaking of the Lord’s Supper “till He come.”

(Adapted from Missionaries for Christ Local and International, Inc.)

THIS IS MY MISSION

Tune: “Blessed Assurance”

Verses: Blessed with His goodness, Blessed with His love; Blessed with His showers

that come from above. Blessed with His sunshine, Blessed with His air, I’ll go

on helping, everywhere.

Chorus: This is my mission, this is my prayer; helping the needy, everywhere: This is

my mission, this is my prayer, helping the needy, everywhere.

Verses: God gives the courage, Faith leads the way; onward we travel, happy and gay;

Thinking of others, willing to share, taking God’s message, everywhere.

Remembering others, whenever I pray looking to Jesus, He is the way;

Onward I travel, Him by my side, I’ll never falter, He is my guide.
