Because of some critical issues in our church, I used our church’s situation as a primary means of illustrating these points from scripture. Because this message is so vital, I have preserved it and reproduced it for you. May it serve as a blessing and a challenge. I.

We lost a valued member at BT. Caryl Borges died Wednesday, August 23 at her home after a long battle with cancer.. Besides being a good friend and wonderful believer/member in our church, Caryl spent two years serving under the auspices of the International Mission Board as a volunteer missionary at our hospital in Yemen where she worked alongside the career missionaries who were martyred a few years ago. She was especially close to Dr. Martha Mears with who she would make Saturday house calls to the villages in outlying areas.Caryl fought cancer valiantly over the last few years, but in the end, embraced death with sweetness and anticipation of being with Jesus. She was surrounded by loved ones when she died and was remembered Saturday afternoon in a service at Baptist Temple.
