Posted on by Derrick Laughlin

As you are aware, concerns regarding COVID-19 have been circulating in recent weeks. Because this is a dynamic situation where additional information and recommended responses are rapidly changing, our staff and leaders are closely monitoring the situation. We want you to know that the health and safety of our members, guests, and the community are our priority.  As information develops, we will update this page accordingly.

Please check out our new COVID-19 Update page for all updates, announcements, and links to resources regarding church for the near future.

Pray and Give

Posted on by Brian Wells

Our work as First Baptist Jennings is alive and well. While the coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic is affecting our lives, the Lord is using this threatening force to open doors for us to share the Good News of Jesus Christ with others through creative ways. While communities, cities and even countries are slowing to a standstill, the Lord still reigns in all of His power and glory. Continue to PRAY.

We Praise the Lord for the church’s giving pattern over the last several months. As we find ourselves practicing being the “CHURCH” in new creative ways without assembling as the large congregation, here is how you can continue to exercise your giving.
1. You can give electronically by:
https://fbcjennings.com/giving
Click “Give Now” Choose Bank, Debit / Credit Card
Fill in the appropriate fields of information. If you choose direct payment from your bank account, the Bank will verify & email you instructions to confirm it is you. The Bank will send a code to your cell phone.

2. Text any amount to 84321

3. Mail: First Baptist Church Jennings
1001 Cary Ave.
Jennings, Louisiana 70546

4. Drop By: The church will be open Monday thru Friday
and if you are running errands and want to drop off
your giving / tithe, stop by.

If you need anything please don’t hesitate to send us a message.

Pastor Rammon

Posted on by Jeff Cook

Dear Church Family:

It was might great honor and privilege to visit pastor Rammon (pronounced like Ramen Noodles) while visiting India recently.  Pastor Rammon and his family are wonderful Christians who are serving the Lord on top of Yercaud Mountain.  Yercaud Mountain is a land mark for people who travel in India.  The Mountain is beautiful and the climate is always temperate.  There are many hotels and spas on top of the mountain, and people come from miles around to drive the 17 hairpin turns to the top of the mountain.  Along the route, monkeys greet you and will steal you camera if you stop and take a picture.  The mountain is filled with coffee farms, and many villages are tucked into the mountains, centered around the coffee business.  It is an idyllic scene.

 

However, Christianity is not very popular on Yercaud Mountain.  Pastor Rammon believes that God has given him a vision to reach 66 villages with the gospel.  These villages have a total population of 1.5 million people.  And the “wee little man” rides his motorcycle to these villages with the hopes of planting churches all over the mountain.  In one village, a family has been reached for Jesus.  Pastor Rammon holds weekly services in the man’s home.  The village leaders told the whole village not to speak this man’s family.  The man told me, “Jesus is enough for me” , (and then he laughed)

 

Please pray for Pastor Rammon and his family.  We will be getting emails from pastor Rammon and these will be published here.

 

Blessings,

Dr. j
