Dear SBM friend,
What a busy few months it has been! I apologize for my lack of communication since our last newsletter back in the Summer, as I have been busy with many things which demanded my full attention. However, I will be better about communication in the days ahead.
As many of you know, this past August I became the Senior Pastor of Mt. Zion Baptist Church in Hartselle. The Lord continues to bless us financially, guests are visiting with us each Sunday, and we’re growing together as we seek to be used by the Lord. I’m very excited about all that God continues to do in our fellowship at Mt. Zion.
Many of you have asked about Spencer Bell Ministries since I accepted the call to Mt. Zion. Yes, our ministry continues to function, I still do intend to travel for preaching engagements, and we are seeking the Lord’s direction as we press on toward the future. I’ll be updating you in the coming days about all we plan to do in the coming years.
In addition to pastoring Mt. Zion, I am now leading our Morgan Baptist Association as Moderator, serving as Chairman of the Non-Profit Cohort for the Hartselle Area Chamber of Commerce, as well as pursuing higher theological education as a full-time seminary student at Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. Thankfully, I am able to work toward my Master of Divinity through Southwestern predominantly online while allowing me to remain engaged with church work in Alabama. Although my plate is full, God continues to open doors and I am allowed to minister to many through these avenues.
Our God’s Minute video devotionals broadcast through social media continue to reach thousands (literally), and I frequently hear encouraging words about these devotionals. Not only locally, but internationally. Several of these social media platforms have allowed us to reach new heights in communicating the Good News of Jesus Christ, thus assisting us in accomplishing our mission statement “Spreading the Good News of Christ.” As of November 2022, we have reached a total of approximately 67,917 people.
I also want to thank you for your continued giving to our ministry. Know that your financial gifts are used wisely for the advancement of the Gospel, and I greatly appreciate your willingness to contribute to this cause. Many have noted their desire to continue contributing to our ministry. Please note that we are a 501(C)3 Non-Profit Charitable Organization, therefore any contribution made to our ministry is entirely tax-deductible!
Would you join me in praying:
For these God’s Minute videos to get into the hands and hearts of those searching for hope this season.
For us to find new ways to reach the lost with the Gospel locally, nationally, and internationally.
For us to find ways to encourage pastors and ministers around the country through encouragement efforts as they minister to those in their flock.
Finally, I am grateful for you, your prayers, and your encouragement. You are a great blessing to our ministry.
In His Service,
Spencer Bell
President, SBM
