CLEAN CHRISTMAS?: Dr. Ray Leininger (Retired Pastor, Former SBU and MBC Trustee) Will Preach at First Baptist Church-Bolivar this Sunday (Nov. 30)

CLEAN CHRISTMAS?:
PRAYING FOR CHANGING HEARTS ...


After a long absence from the pulpit, Dr. Ray Leininger -- the former pastor (retired 2004) of First Baptist Church of Bolivar, MO; a current "Virtual Strategy Coordinator
for Russia" for the Southern Baptist Convention, and a former member of both the Southwest Baptist University the Missouri Baptist Convention Board of Trustees -- will return as guest speaker during the (second) Sunday Morning Worship service of the First Baptist Church of Bolivar, Missouri.

Since his retirement, Dr. Ray Leininger:

"has tapped into the need for teaching English as a Second Language (ESL) in
Tomsk; he also established a partnership between Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Mo., and the university in Tomsk [Russia]." (see here).

Rev. Billy Russell, the current pastor of First Baptist Church of Bolivar and SBU alumnus and newly-appointed Southwest Baptist University Trustee, will be on holiday with his wife's family in Texas.

The service will be broadcast live beginning at 10:45 am (CST) on KYOO radio (1200 AM or 99.1 FM).

A letter from Marie O'Hara to Dr. Ray Leininger will be posted shortly.
