ABLISHED!

ESTABLISHED!
On January 8, a major milestone of the Lifestyle
Capital Stewardship Campaign began. Bro.
Julius and Sis. Nelsie Yates along with Dr. Terrance
and Sis. Ferguson began leadership as Co-Directors
of the campaign for the next three years.
The need for follow-up is occasioned by the second
law of Thermo-dynamics, everything slows down.
When a successful campaign approaches its
conclusion it is like a large ball rolling at a rapid
pace. Over time the ball slows down. If it is to
continue moving, it must be “bumped.” Followup is the planned and systematic action of
bumping the ball.
This issue of “Faith on the” Fastrack introduces
you to the Follow-up Team members and
shares their thoughts on the campaign and
their commitment to the role they will play in
Our Vision, Victories…Faith on the Fast Tack!

MESSAGE FROM THE PASTOR:
Allow me this opportunity to thank each of you
who has made commitments toward “Our
Vision 2 Victories” Faith on the Fast Track
Campaign.
A total of eight hundred thirty-two members have
responded to the challenge of “Not Offering to
GOD that which cost me nothing”. As of this date,
we have commitments totaling $3,446.090 dollars
over and above regular tithes and offering for the
next three years.
Now, with our Follow Up Commitment in place,
headed by Brother Julius and Sister Nelsie Yates
along with Dr. Terrance and Sister Ferguson, we
will keep focused, encouraged, motivated and
informed as to our needs and progress as we move
forward in bringing to reality the commitments of
this campaign.
We continually thank God for putting it on your
hearts to respond in such a positive and
bountiful way. We have faith also, that what
God has enabled you to promise, with God’s
help, you will do.
So then let each of us, with
determination, keep our
eyes focused on the vision
of the high calling of God
in Christ Jesus; as we go
forward to do all God wants us to do, to bring
glory to His name.
Further, since there has been so many that has
gone on before us that has sacrificed, struggled
and toiled to make it possible for us to enjoy
what we have today; let us do as Paul would
encourage in Hebrews 12:1-2, lay aside every
weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us,
and let us run with endurance the race that is set
before us, looking unto Jesus, the Author and
Finisher of our faith.
May God bless us real good as we follow where
He leads and do His work as He directs.
Be encouraged in the Lord.

CO-DIRECTOR
As our Lord has spoken to our Pastor, our Shepherd,
he has asked us to ‘serve’ in the capacity as CoDirectors for the Follow-Up Committee for our
Stewardship Capital Campaign for the next three
years. We realize this is all about ‘serving’, being in
God’s will, being obedient; however, we are so
excited because this is another opportunity for us
to express and demonstrate our love and devotion
to God and our Pastor.
The Committee’s primary purpose is to “keep the
Vision in the forefront’ of our parishioners mainly
Bro. Julius & Sis. Nelsie Yates
through communicating on a consistent basis our
Vision, commitments to the Vision and where we
are from a financial standpoint. We will embrace
and communicate the Vision to all new members.
For those who have already committed to the
Vision, we say thank you. Continue to cultivate the
seed you have sown by fulfilling your commitment
and watch God work. For those who have yet to make
a commitment, we encourage you to continue praying as
we pray for you as well to become a part of this integral
Kingdom building process.
For the Macedonian Christians, giving was not a chore, but a
challenge, not a burden, but a blessing. Giving was not
something to be avoided, but a privilege to be desired. That is
our prayer for the Beulahland Bible Church Christians.
Prayer and support of each other is paramount as we move
forward on this ‘faith’ journey in the name of Jesus Christ
our Saviour.

We are delighted to have been chosen as CoDirectors of the Follow Up Committee. We are rejoicing
in doing Gods work. We look forward to what the
Lord has in store for Beulahland Bible Church. We know
it is going to be awesome.
Dr. Terrance Ferguson
As we know, the new facility in Warner Robins is well
underway and hopefully the same will be true in
Macon in the near future. As our commitments have
been made, we pray that our commitments are
fulfilled.
As Co-Director of the Follow-up campaign it is our
plan to keep everyone informed of what is going
on with the campaign. The congregation will be
informed through various means. Some ways of informing
the congregation will be through newsletters, monthly
reports during the service and informing new members
of the campaign during new member training.
We are humbled by our call to duty. We ask for your prayers;
with those prayers we claim victory.

The leadership of the Beulahland Bible Church
believes our church is mandated to become a
Gatekeeper for Macon, Middle Georgia and the
Body of Christ. We have taken the initial steps to
build not one, but two facilities at the same time.
As we step out of the boat of familiarity and
comfort, God will be faithful to honor our
commitments as we move forward in possessing
our promises. Jackie and I count it a blessing to
join our Pastor and this Follow Up Committee to
continue to put “Our Vision into Two Victories allowing
our Faith to be on the Fast Track.” We indeed have our
umbrellas up and extended because we are getting
ready for the Rain.

Anxiously anticipating what God is about to do for and
through Beulahiand, I am truly humbled to be serving
the church on the Follow-up Committee in the area of
New Members. I am extremely honored and appreciative
to have been chosen to serve for the next three years. I
look forward to the growth of this campaign and the
plethora of new members that we will be able to “cast
the vision” to. This position gives me the opportunity to
see the vision and our territory expand from the inside
out. What an “AWESOME” time it is in the History of
Beulahiand Bible Church.
