The middle finger is the tallest finger. It re-
minds us of our leaders. Pray for our President
and for other elected officials. Remember those
who serve in the military defending the free-
doms we enjoy but sometimes take for granted.
Finally, pray for leaders in business and industry
and others who play an important part in shaping
our world.
The fourth finger is our ring finger. Surpris-
ingly, it probably is our weakest finger, as those
who play the piano probably can testify. It
should remind us to pray for those who are weak,
or in trouble, or in sorrow, or in pain. They need
our prayers continually.
Last of all is our little finger. It is the smallest
of all. Therefore, it reminds us of where we
should position ourselves in relationship to God
and others. Your pinkie should remind you to
pray for yourself.
Space Study Committee
Our Space Study Committee recently received
the report from our architect, Rik Sowell. Pray
for the members of the committee as they study
the report and prepare to bring recommenda-
tions to the church.

From my heart to yours:
Prayer Ministry
Recently, a member of our church
family told me that he received a note
from participants in our prayer ministry that he
had been remembered in prayer. It touched his
heart, he said, and made him thankful to be a part
of such a thoughtful, loving, caring church.
We do have a Prayer Room where prayer takes
place on a regular basis. Patty Prince is our capa-
ble Prayer Ministry Coordinator. Talk to her if
you are interested in a regular, specific time slot
to spend in our Prayer Room. S. D. Gordon has re-
minded us that we can do more than pray after we
have prayed; but we can do no more than pray until
we have prayed!
Five Finger Prayer Plan
While on the subject of prayer, let me suggest an
easy to remember prayer plan. I don’t know who
to acknowledge for this practical spiritual exer-
cise.
Your thumb is nearest you. So begin your prayers
by praying for those closest to you. They are in
your thoughts daily, and so are the easiest to re-
member. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S
Lewis once said, a “sweet duty.”
The next finger is your index or pointing finger.
Pray for those who preach and teach and heal.
These include teachers, doctors and nurses, minis-
ters, and missionaries. They need wisdom and sup-
port in pointing people in the right direction. Keep
them in your prayers.

SCOTT FRAKER
BIOGRAPHY
Scott is originally from Niangua, MO. After High School, Scott attended Missouri State University in Spring-field, MO. Music has always been a part of Scott’s life and he has been singing since the age of 3. Believe it or not, Scott even sang in a Girl’s Choir until age 15. Scott’s four and-a-half octave range as a bass singer had not yet been discovered. “My Senior year of High School was the first time I was able to sing with a Boy’s Choir,” Scott admits. With a change in voice, Scott unleashed his four and-a-half octave range—singing as high as he does low—on the world of music to rave reviews. In college he performed with the MSU Traveling Choir and with the acappella group “The Wingtips”, who appeared on the Today Show, Good Morning America, and the CBS Morning Show in 1990. Scott recalls that the last thing he ever expected to do was sing with three other guys. While Scott was with the Wingtips, he got to perform with the Legendary Chuck Berry, Jerry Lee Lewis, Frankie Avalon, and he even got to sing for then President George Bush.
Scott left The Wingtips in 1993 after receiving a call from one of the guys he sang with in Choir at Missouri State who was now singing with the gospel group Chosen Few at Silver Dollar City in Branson, MO. Scott soon accepted a position with Chosen Few and remained at Silver Dollar City until their final show in October 2001. From 1993-1996 Scott and Chosen Few were the House Gospel Group at Silver Dollar City where they sang to over 2.5 million people every year. In 1996 Chosen Few won the “Nashville Starbound” Contest performing on the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. In 1997, SDC moved them to the 4000 seat Echo Hollow Amphitheater there inside the park where they headlined the 2 hour “Sundown Jubilee Show” 6 nights a week. They were awarded the Show of the Year in the 2001 Branson Fan Awards. Even with a very successful show, the guys knew that God was calling them to a work far more precious than the lights of Branson MO. “We spent almost every night on our knees in our dressing room that 2001 season,” Scott recalled. In November 2001, Scott and the guys left Silver Dollar City to begin their fulltime ministry on the road. From 2001-2005 Scott recalls them singing in over 1000 churches and civic organizations. They went Coast to Coast and even had the opportunity to do a crusade in Nicaragua where they witnessed a little over 2,100 people come to the Saving Knowledge of Jesus Christ. In November of 2005 God again was work-ing on the hearts of the guys, but this time He was working on them in an individual fashion. “I knew that God had called me to preach in the 11th grade”, Scott said. “I had just chosen to run away from that calling on my life”. After being in front of millions of people over the last several years, Scott’s heart was being re-tuned for the work that God would set before him. He knew it was time to once again to step out on faith and lean on the promise that God would make a way. Scott is now traveling, Singing, Preaching, and Teaching all over the United States. He has a tremendous burden for the lost and a great burning to see our Churches Revived again. His passion for these things is very evident in his services. “There are so many great things that God wants us to experience. It’s my burden and my passion… to help people leave the “Valley of Regret” behind…and to re-direct them to their rightful place…At the KINGS TABLE”! Scott still entertains in Branson, MO, at the Pierce Arrow Theater.

The Intercessory Prayer Ministry
completed its twenty-third year the end of
January 2017. In 2016, our Volunteers in Prayer (VIPs) spent 454 hours praying in
the prayer room for your prayer needs and the needs of others. Your prayer concerns
are important to us! Be assured, every prayer request received is fervently prayed
over and kept in the strictest confidence.
Do you have a prayer request? If so, simply fill out a Prayer Request Card, located in the back of each pew, and place
it in the Offering Plate. Or, if you’d prefer, call the BRBC Prayer Line, 501-922-6436,
to share your prayer request. We are so blessed to have a designated Prayer Line.
Let’s use it! (Please note, the Prayer Line phone/answering system re-
cently malfunctioned and was replaced with a more advanced system. A special
thank you to James Roberts for selecting, purchasing, and setting-up our new sys-
tem so quickly).
Do you have one hour a week you
can spare to pray for others? Then contact
Patty Prince, 409-988-4810, to find out
how YOU can become part of one of the
most vital ministries of our church ─ the
Intercessory Prayer Ministry.

Pat Carpenter will share about how the
Pure Water, Pure Love campaign helps mis-

wells that offer clean water, free from dis-
ease-causing microorganisms.

VALENTINE’S DAY
POTLUCK LUNCH, 11:30—1:00
Ermma Campbell and her daughter, Laiken
Boyd, recently joined Barcelona Road Baptist
Church after they were “outnumbered” by a group
of BRBC members at a yard sale and heard about
the church family. The yard sale was at Ron and
Joanne Kunath’s house and Shelly Wagner was
there, along with Jerry and Agnes Skinner. Ermma
says she had been looking for a church home since
she moved to HSV in August and she took their
advice and tried the church and liked it.
Ermma lived in Glenwood while raising her
boys, then moved to Michigan where her husband
was from. She moved back to northeast Arkansas
to take care of her mother. After her mother
passed away, she decided to come to the Village to
be closer to her grandchildren. Ermma has mostly
worked in dental offices during her career and is
now retired.
Ermma had two sons, one of whom lives with
her. Her oldest son passed away in a motorcycle
accident.
Her daughter Laiken attends school at
Jessieville and has wonderful teachers there.
Laiken has been involved in Special Olympics, and
is a good bowler and swimmer, Ermma said. They
hope to be more involved in Special Olympics in
this area too.
Ermma has joined the Kunaths’ JOY Sunday
School class and is enjoying getting to know more
people. She is looking forward to participating in
Ladies Day Out and the other women’s activities.
