We here in the West Chowan Baptist Association are committed to the task of "producing much fruit" (John 15:8) by assisting our churches in the process of making "Christ Followers who will Follow Christ." Our vision of making "Christ Followers who will Follow Christ" is driven by the imperatives of Christ which are hung on the following three non-negotiable characteristics of a Christ Follower: 1) GIVE UP by Surrendering (Luke 9:23), Sacrificing (Luke 14:33) and Listening (John 10:27), 2) GIVE IN by Abiding in His word (John 8:31), Obeying His commands (Luke 5:27), and Walking in His Light (John 8:12), 3) GIVE OUT by Loving one another (John 13:35), becoming a Servant (John 12:26), and Sharing our faith (Matthew 4:19). |

The Legacy of a Pastor’s Wife: Content to DieAfter weeks filled with difficulty and extreme emotions, Jeana was alerted this past Wednesday night that her 97-year-old mother was admitted to the hospital and concerns about her future on this earth were very real. By Thursday morning, it was clear Jeana’s mom may be in her final days and Jeana was able to arrive in Lubbock, Texas, that same evening.Click here to keep reading. |

 (3/19/20): This could be a season during which we can shine the light of Christ in a more obvious way than at any time in recent history. As God leads, perhaps your churches can make Operation Inasmuch type projects a priority for the next few months. Of course, avoid projects that would create large groups or force close contact for extended periods. However, there could be many things we can do to serve our communities: yardwork, delivering food or meals and leaving them on the porch, making phone calls to residents of care facilities, and more. We trust and support the decisions your churches make, but we do encourage them to follow God's direction in how they can serve. https://baptistsonmission.org/Mission-Projects/North-Carolina/Operation-Inasmuch |

| December 30, 2021 As we begin 2022 and seek ways to have a greater impact on the lives of those without a relationship with Jesus, I thought it appropriate to reconsider the tried-and-true methods that have produced more disciples over the centuries than any other method. First, on that list of methods is genuine prayer. (read more) |
