Scott Boyd gave the report for UI BASIC. He reported that a group of men from Winn Stanley came the last of June and painted everything in the BASIC house. Jim Wickersheimer from PAB was the site coordinator for the project. John Mahan and his family are living at the BASIC house while serving as campus ministers for Redeemer Church, Urbana. IBSA has promised $28,800 to renovate the kitchen and dining areas. The Conversational English group continues to meet and grow on Thursday nights. 4 years ago, they started with 1 Chinese student. The next year they had 4, then 7, then 13, and now they are averaging 60. They had events on Memorial Day, 4th of July, and a concert held at Judah Christian School's athletic fields. Several students have enjoyed mowing the Davis' lawn and learning to bake with Alice. Jo Terhark encouraged everyone to be involved either with bringing food or participating in conversation. 7. Clark Killingsworth was traveling with his family and sent a written report for MOSAIC in Bloomington-Normal. (see report) 8. Derrick Baker gave a report on the ministry at Parkland Point.

NEW BUSINESS 10. There was no new business presented. 11. The meeting closed with a group prayer for Duane Davis. Duane is having surgery on July 20 for his back. Prayer was led by Derrick Baker and Dennis Norton. Respectfully submitted, Rebecca Fouts, Clerk 17

18 Collegiate Ministry Reports This year BASIC further expanded its ministries to both the ARMY ROTC (AROTC) and the Conversational English Groups (CEGs) ARMY ROTC: I went from doing Physical Training (PT) with the Cadets on Wednesdays only last year, to doing PT with them on both Mondays and Wednesdays this year. Following PT on Mondays I also began leading a time of devotion with the Cadets. Twenty-three cadets attended our first devotion and I can see our numbers growing in the weeks ahead. I also began meeting with Cadets on an individual basis for counseling and to talk to them about spiritual matters. The water and pop-tarts ECIBA provides for the Cadets enables me to build relationships with them and opens the door to deeper conversations. Finally, the AROTC Commander is a strong believer with a Baptist background and asked me to pray over the cadets at their first full formation. CONVERSATIONAL ENGLISH GROUPS (CEGS): The big news is that our CEGs grew from 20 students last year to over 60 students this year. Additionally, because our CEGs grew so large over the summer, a consistent 60 each Thursday night, we had to move from meeting at the BASIC House to the Fellowship Hall of the University Baptist Church on the corner of 4 th and Daniel. Also, the Cornerstone Baptist Church has felt led to provide meals for the CEGs on the 3 rd Thursday of each month. This is huge because that means with Calvary Baptist providing meals on the 2 nd Thursday we have ECIBA churches providing meals for 2 Thursdays each month. Not only is God bringing unbelieving Chinese students to hear Bible stories, God is increasing ECIBA s missionary heart so that together we are making an eternal difference. Because of our efforts together 2 female students gave their lives to Christ this past year and one of them is currently being discipled by Duane and Alice. Your Missionary to The University of Illinois, Scott Normal-Bloomington MOSAIC Student Ministries The following two types of students are regularly encountered on college campuses in Bloomington/Normal. The characters depicted here are fictional and neither composite is all inclusive. Rarely will any student be a perfect match for either description. In reality, many students share a combination of traits from each composite. Nevertheless, the descriptions express some of the real challenges faced in collegiate ministry today. Martha: Has limited church experience. Went to church on occasion with her family while growing up. Participated in youth group activities. Has some basic Bible knowledge. Prefers involvement in a collegiate group that has no formal ties to any local church. Considers attendance at a collegiate Bible study her 18

19 weekly church attendance. Wants to be free to float around to various local churches while in college and does not want to be challenged with church membership. Is easily offended when asked questions of accountability (especially regarding such things as sexual activity, pornography, alcohol, homosexual attraction, partying, carousing, etc.) May occasionally invite other students to attend her collegiate Bible study. Her prayer life is sporadic, mostly private, and centers on fulfilling her own dreams, wants, and desires. Prefers a worship experience that is entertaining with preaching that is brief, light-hearted, positive, and uplifting. Has a genuine disdain for messages that call for repentance or real life change. May participate in mission activities that are service oriented. Hasn t thought much about church involvement beyond college. Wants to find a good job after college first and then will see about fitting church into her life after she s settled. Mary: Has no formal church background and very limited Bible knowledge. Surrendering her life to Christ resulted in a turning away from alcohol consumption, pornography, and/or bi-sexual relationships. Following Christ resulted in losing friends and being scorned by family. She longs for a Christian mentor who will teach and model not only matters of faith but will also engage her in real life-on-life discipleship. Appreciates being under the care and authority of a local church and wants to be held accountable to higher standards of Christian living. Is passionate about sharing her faith with her peers. Prays fervently alone and will faithfully gather with other believers to pray for genuine move of God on her college campus. Longs to see many of her peers engaged in small groups and churches that are raising up Christian leaders and multiplying disciples. Prefers participatory worship with songs that engage her heart, mind, and soul. Appreciates preaching that is biblically based and challenging. Is excited about being personally engaged in missions activities that take the gospel to unreached people groups. Looks forward to finding a church home after college where she can be more personally engaged in disciple-making. Upon graduation Mary will place a priority on finding a church where she can continue to grow as a follower of Christ, first. Finding a job is a secondary consideration for Mary. Surely, most would agree that Mary is to be commended for her faithfulness and obedience to the commands of Christ. Martha, on the other hand needs to be challenged with at least three biblical warnings: First, she needs to be reminded of Jesus words when he said, Not everyone who says to Me, Lord, Lord! will enter the kingdom of heaven, but [only] the one who does the will of My Father (Matthew 7:21, HCSB). Second, Martha needs to be challenged by 2 Timothy 4:3 where the apostle Paul warns Timothy, For the time will come when they will not tolerate sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, will accumulate teachers for themselves because they have an itch to hear something new (HCSB). A third challenge for Martha would be Jesus words when he said, Mary has made the right choice (Luke 10:42, HCSB). Please pray for College Avenue Baptist Church and Mosaic as we continue to transition into becoming a church with a collegiate ministry that will reach the lost, disciple the saved, and challenge the unchurched as well as the Martha s on our college campuses to become more like Mary as they surrender in obedience to the Lordship of Jesus Christ.

20 Director of Missions Report David Hutton So, what have I done? I ve tried to visit and meet all the pastors and the churches since our arrival in June. Shannon and I got around to every VBS that let us know they were doing one. We visited the IBSA building and met some of their staff to get an idea of how things work in Illinois. I began to serve as interim pastor at Calvary Baptist Church in Monticello in September. I ve read over reports from the past 30 years to get an idea of the history of ECIBA. I ve been involved in an installation of one pastor and an ordination service. Most of my time has been listening and learning. So, what s the plan? I m glad you asked and if you didn t, you get to hear my answer anyway. First, the association has 17 churches and 12 of those have been organized before I was born and another two before I was in high school. We have 3 churches that were started since 2000 that are still in existence. Twelve of our churches have dropped in membership over the past 10 years with 4 of those dropping by 53% to 78%. We need to come up with a strategy that will turn this around. But the association can t do it for the churches. The churches have to recognize their situation and want to address this. Secondly, the finances for the association has been down by more than 50% over the past 10 years. One thing you can be sure of, I will not come to you asking you to increase your giving to the association. If you see value in what s being done, then I believe the churches will support it. There will be changes. If not, ECIBA will die. And lastly, there are some administration issues that need to be dealt with in order to better address the needs of the association. There are several positions open and it is difficult for the nominating committee to find folks willing to serve those positions. One answer is to fill the positions with warm bodies and not consider their gifts/talents. If we do this, we need to provide training for those who are serving in those positions. Another answer is to reduce the number of positions and fill them with qualified servants. The constitution needs to be updated to address today s needs. And the associational handbook or policy manual needs to be updated to reflect the changes in how we function as an association. With that being said, let me give you an idea of how I would like to move forward. 1. I believe ministry is best done through the local church. I believe it s biblical and it s practical. Any ministry that is led by the association will eventually be transferred to the local church. 2. Strong churches make a strong association not the other way around. For the churches that are in decline, I would like to come alongside the pastor and their leaders to begin a process of revitalization. The church must recognize its condition and decide to do something about it. 20

21 3. Our priority for training this year will be on assisting churches to make disciples. We will provide training for pastors and their leaders on how to make this a reality in their church. 4. I want to develop a long term partnership (3 years minimum) with an IMB missionary that is focused on a UUPG (Unengaged Unreached People Group). This will provide opportunities for those in smaller churches to participate in missions with others. Everyone that goes on a trip will be trained and prepared before their trip. And we will be making multiple trips to support this partnership each year to provide stability and focus in the work. 5. Communications will all be done through the association office. Becky has agreed to oversee not only our newsletter but also maintain our website. The site has not been updated in years and we need a fresh start. That will happen as soon as we can get everyone together to make the changes. 6. I want to be prepared to have items that need to be addressed in the constitution presented by the summer board meeting. That way, discussion can be held and we can be prepared to vote on it by the next annual meeting. As I said earlier, a strong association does not make strong churches. But strong churches do make a strong association. My efforts will be focused on the local church and assisting pastors and leaders on how to make Jesus last words our first priority. Let s get busy. David Hutton 21

22 IMB Report Fall 2016 Thank you for the way you have partnered together with us to get the gospel to people who have never heard it before. Over the past year we have walked through difficult days at the IMB. But to see God s provision through churches and through the Southern Baptist Convention ecosystem has been amazing. From the way that you have cared for, encouraged, and supported missionaries who have made transitions, to the way you have redeployed many of them into your churches and your communities for the spread of the gospel here in North America, to how you have sacrificially and generously given through the Cooperative Program and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering it s nothing short of breathtaking to see well over $260 million dollars given from churches with the express purpose of getting the gospel to people who have never heard it. Toward this end, in 2015 Southern Baptists gave $95.2 million through the Cooperative Program and $165.8 million through the 2015 Lottie Moon Christmas Offering for International Missions, the highest total in the 127-year history of the offering. These gifts support almost 4,000 missionaries sent out by Southern Baptist churches through IMB. In addition, Southern Baptists gave $6.5 million for hunger relief and development ministries around the world. Together, these gifts enabled IMB missionaries to report: 127,385 people professing faith in Christ 54,762 new believers expressing their faith through baptism 3,842 new churches planted 886 people groups engaged I hope that this ministry report is also a picture of what lies ahead as Southern Baptists move into the future. We pray the number of people who have come to Christ, the churches planted and the leaders trained will multiply in the days to come as we continue to pray, give, go and send for the glory of God. We want to partner together with you to take gospel to a world where 2.8 billion people have little or no access to the gospel. IMB exists to empower limitless missionary teams to make disciples and multiply churches among unreached peoples for the glory of God. As IMB mobilizes Christians and churches to join God s mission through evangelism, Bible translation, disaster relief, sustainable development and more, it is with one goal in mind: to make disciples and multiply churches in fulfillment of Christ s commission. Pray that God will create a missional awakening in our churches. Pray that He will wake up Southern Baptists to see His great glory and that churches will pray with zeal for the glory of God among the nations. Pray that churches will be aware of ways to give with even greater sacrifice for the glory of God among the nations. Pray that churches big and small will play their part in sending the gospel to the nations. Learn more about how you and your church can be involved in this mission at imb.org 22

23 2015 Report at a glance Missions giving through Cooperative Program $6.23 million in 2015 (up 2.1%) Mission Illinois Offering in 2015 $403,396 (up 10.7%) IBSA church members engaged in missions 24,099 (down 1.6%) Disaster Relief volunteers and chaplains in Illinois 1,674 Baptisms 4,400 (down 2.3%) Weekly worship attendance 76,344 (up 7%) Total resident members 131,540 (up 1.5%) Sunday school attendance 43,580 (down 7%) New churches started 23 (up 130%) IBSA is located at: 3085 Stevenson Drive Springfield, IL A Report to IBSA Churches IBSA 2015 Annual Report Presented to Local Associations Fall 2016 See the video "Our Frontier State" at was marked by continued cultural shifts away from Christian values and biblical morality, and increased hostility toward those who openly share the gospel. It's certainly challenging for Illinois churches to minister in this environment. Yet Annual Church Profiles (ACP) totaled from 2015 show IBSA churches to be committed to the advancement of the gospel, struggling in some areas but making gains in others. In fact, reports from Illinois churches reflect trends among Southern Baptists nationally: more churches with slightly smaller memberships, advancement in missions but decline in baptisms. Missions cooperation is still a key commitment for Illinois Baptists. In the 2015 church year, IBSA churches gave an additional 2.1% to missions through the Cooperative Program (CP), rebounding to $6.23 million from a decline the previous year. Additionally, giving to Illinois missions and ministries through the Mission Illinois Offering rebounded with a 10.7% increase. Also noteworthy is IBSA churches' increase in percentage giving through CP. After dropping to 6.8% in 2013 and 2014, the 2015 CP giving percentage rebounded to an average of 7.1% of local churches' undesignated receipts. Nationally, the average is 5.5%. Some younger leaders and those without Baptist background may not always understand the cooperative missions model. But for IBSA, this level of CP-giving is encouraging, and further encourages IBSA's continuing commitment to fan the flame of passion for cooperative missions. Many challenges facing IBSA churches are rooted in leadership issues. As the 2015 Midwest Leadership Summit and 2016 Illinois Leadership Summit demonstrated, there is a hunger among pastors and church leaders for personal development. In more than 20,000 individual trainings last year, IBSA equipped leaders to grow stronger, healthier churches. And with the IBSA Church Consulting Team fully staffed, IBSA provided on-site assistance for pastors and churches in 10 zones. IBSA assisted in the starting of 23 new churches in And we were encouraged that, at the 2015 Annual Meeting, more than 300 church leaders made commitments to implement specific evangelistic ministry strategies, proven to push back lostness and grow churches. IBSA missionaries and ministry leaders appreciate the partnership of IBSA churches in advancing the gospel across Illinois. Please call on us if we can assist you, your church, or your association in fulfilling our mission here in Illinois. 23
