Reaching Out to the World (con't)

With the kind help of the Bedford Chamber of Commerce, the school board, the Bedford Bulletin, and others we offer interesting and valuable data about life in the region. As folks around the world look for Internet sites related to Bedford, they will eventually be directed to www.sbava.org. Once there they will have an opportunity to get to know us. For those already living in the area, they will find up-to-date listings of activities and news from all around the County. There will be calendars, school happenings, sporting activity schedules, recreational events, area attractions and history, and many other useful pages and links. The Web site will be constantly growing and changing. Within a short period of time it will be unmatched for its wide range of helpful encyclopedic information on Bedford County and her people.

Of course, we also present helpful information that relates directly to our churches and ministries. Either a separate Web page or a link to an existing site is offered for each of our sister churches. If you are unable to open your church’s page, it is because all the necessary material has not yet been given to us so we can finish formatting the pages. Just as quickly as our churches send us the basic info, you will be able to log onto your church page to view a picture and a brief outline that uniquely describes your congregation’s ministry along with staff contact information, directions to the church, and the activities of the week.

From the main page you can branch off to other ministry opportunities that speak to such topics as prayer and prayer walking, family devotions, youth ministry, prison ministry, WMU projects, missions, and many other creative outreach tools and ideas. We even have an online Gospel tract!

We are praying that God will raise up professional counselors who will offer their services online in a very special area where hurting and needy people can go to find personal and confidential help in areas such as finances, parenting, relationships, stress, grief, self-discipline, addictions, and more. It is at this point of contact that we will begin to nurture friendships with people who need to know more about Jesus Christ. As those in need knock on our “cyber-door” we will stand ready to invite them in to get to know us even better; to be a willing bridge to the Lord.

We’ve not even begun to scratch the surface of the possibilities that exist through technology, but we are excited about what will become of “www.sbava.org” and how this new ministry tool will touch tens of thousands of hearts within our borders and beyond. Commit yourself to learn more, and become involved in what lies ahead!
