The Counselor’s Corner - by Charles Dixon The Lord shall guide you continually and satisfy your soul in drought and make your bones strong; and
you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters do not fail. Isaiah 58:11
The month of April provides the season of Spring and Easter as a time to thank the Lord for
Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross and His resurrection. Gardening is referenced throughout the
Word, and the Prophet Isaiah utilized it to show God’s holiness in His believers. The Lord’s
continual guidance, satisfaction of the soul, and strength are made possible by His unfailing
spring of water. God’s grace through the power of His Holy Spirit provides strength in our
witness as Christians. It waters our garden so we may share our fruit of the Spirit with others.
Praise the Lord for He fails us not in Jesus’ words on the cross, “It is finished”, for the
battle is already won! Thanks be to God.
(Charles is available to provide Christian counseling at the Baptist Center, 3009
Amity Hill Road, Statesville. For an appointment, call 704-873-4372 ext. 15.)

Adopt-a-School Ministry April Idea: Be creative with Spring Break ideas:
“Have a break on us.”
Food Pantry In February, 55 families (168 people) received assistance from the Baptist Center Food Pantry even though inclement weather hindered our opening several days. One individual prayed asking Jesus as Savior, and another two rededicated their lives. Birthday bags and presents were given to seven children. Food Pantry Focus: canned meats (ham, beef stew, chicken & dumplings, Treet, luncheon meat, Vienna sausages, hash, chicken, tuna, & salmon). Any non-perishable foods or toiletry items are appreciated.
Toy Store for Jesus From Pastor Allen Mullins: Recently on a Sunday morning, a 10-year-old boy came up and gave me one of the best blessings a pastor can receive. He said, “Pastor Allen, I had to write an essay in school about a community hero. I wrote about you.” I felt such a sense of pride and joy. This young boy’s family had moved into the community prior to Christmas. As Christmas approached, his mother identified herself as a single mother, unemployed, and unable to provide anything for her four children. She was connected with the Toy Store and came back excitedly saying the Toy Store provided generously for her children. This mother is now regularly attending our church. If that were the end of the story, it would be a lot. But better still, this young boy told me last Sunday that he had invited Jesus into his heart and wants to be baptized! This is the ministry and success of churches working together with the ministry of the Toy Store.
April Donation Emphasis: Children’s & teen’s Bibles, Bible storybooks, & age-appropriate devotionals for children and/or teens.
