Important information concerning the Faith Fund

State Convention and Hundred Day Count Down

    We are rapidly approaching our State Convention on March 11, 2016 which will also culminate with our Faith Fund contribution for the 100 day count down.  Let us all give generously, knowing that our contributions will help to purchase Bibles to be distributed throughout the World.  Remember $125.00 will purchase a box of scriptures that will impact many lives as God promises in Isaiah 55:11. 

    We ask that if you are unable to attend the State Convention that you still participate by sending your Faith Fund contribution.  You can send your Faith Fund contribution to the following address: 

                                   Dale County Gideons

                                   PO Box 291

                                   Ozark, AL 36361

    Other ways to contribute is to bring your contributions to our next Gideon Camp meeting on March 3, 2016 at Ozark Baptist Church, or you may also contribute on our Gideon Website, “The Connection.”

    If you plan to mail a check try to have it turned in by March 5^th so that we can have an accurate count before the Convention.  May the Lord continue to bless you and keep you.

                                                 Sincerely,

                                                 

                                                

                                                 Brother Jerry L. Lucas

Sad news

 Please keep Hope and the family in your prayers.  Dennis will be missed but he is with our Heavenly Father now.

"My sweetheart passed into the arms of Jesus at 9:32 am in Birmingham's Brookwood Hospital."

Prayers needed

Dennis Jinks is in ICU at Brookwood Medical Center in B'ham. Granddaughter Sarah made following post few minutes ago: Sarah posted 4 minutes ago: We need prayers immediately. Not only for Grandad and our family but for all of the physicians and nurses working so hard to heal him. He is in septic shock and is now on the ventilator. Kidneys are struggling and blood is poisoned. Our prayer needs right now are that they get him stable enough to preform gallbladder surgery ASAP as that is where a huge part of the infection is. We know our God is in control. Thank you all so much, we love you all.

A note concering Dennis Jinks

    So far as I know all diagnostic testing on Denny has been completed,  and the culprit discovered.  It's amniodorone pulmonary toxicity, an extremely rare condition resulting from the use of the drug amniodorone to treat atrial fibrillation.   He has been on the drug for 8 months.  Treatment will involve fairly high doses of steroids and could take some time.  His oxygen levels will need to be monitored in the home and he will need to have it available.  We are meeting with his primary physician in the morning.  Denny will spend a couple of more days in the hospital here in Birmingham, as his steroid dose is regulated.  Thankful for neighbors looking after the home front.  Denny enjoys phone calls, so feel free to call on his cell.  Thanks again, Hope

PAB 2015

The slideshow on the right is from our most recent PAB at First United Methodist Church in Ozark. What a great night to be a part of this ministry. We had a great turnout and a great program. It was great to see so many be inspired by such a great program.
