An Eagle has a wing span that’s about 8 to 9 feet wide. You have heart that most animals and birds hid in their nest when a storm comes. But an Eagle flies directly towards the storm. He’s built to rise above the challenges that breaks most, but lifts those that are built for the storm.

Are you an eagle? Are you built for the storm?

During this season, many companies and individuals are reflecting on this year’s storms and successes. We are also making plans for the coming year(s).

There are not many people that would say they had the best year ever, but it was filled with challenges and difficulties, along with good times.

Because the church is so focused on their own difficulties, we have lost sight of God’s mission. We must run towards the storm and rise above it for all of us.

This will be added to the overall 5-Year Development & Growth Plan (5YD & GP). The %YD & GP incudes growth, facility assessment and development, land development, finances & campaigns, community and governmental partnership, leadership development, jobs, technology, Christian Academy/School, entrepreneurship, and more.

Over the next 5 years, St. Peter Missionary Baptist Church will increase 7 Ministry (St. Peter) Focus in the following:

1. Family (Foundation and Core)

2. Men (Black Men)

3. Women (Ministry Service & Support)

4. Youth (Ministry Access, Youth Enrichment, Engagement, Worship and Education)

5. Community (Outreach, Service, Feeding, Support, and Legacy)

6. Health (Saints are some of the unhealthiest peope inour nation, physically and mentally)

7. Spiritual Walk - Discipleship (Living a Godly according to the Bible)

Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

The prophets got the message that we should run, and NOT grow weary, walk and NOT faint.

2 Cor.10.4; 2 Cor.10.6; 2 Corinthians 10:4-6 NKJV

4 (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

6 And having in a readi ness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.

23 For I have received of the Lord that which also I delivered unto you, that the Lord Jesus the same night in which he was betrayed took bread:

24 And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me.

25 After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me.

26 For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come.

27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.

28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

31 For if we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.

32 But when we are judged, we are chastened of the Lord, that we should not be condemned with the world.

33 Wherefore, my brethren, when ye come together to eat, tarry one for another.

34 And if any man hunger, let him eat at home; that ye come not together unto condemnation. And the rest will I set in order when I come.
