As the second least churched state in America, Vermont cries out for spiritual assistance. Can you hear the cry of her heart? Does it call to your own heart? Why not join Terry Dorsett and his team of missionaries in reaching Vermont with the Gospel of Jesus Christ?

A Word from the Director:

Greed. A small word with a huge impact on all of our lives. It was greed that drove people to buy homes they could not afford. It was greed that drove banks to make loans to those same people. It is greed that is driving an ever increasing list of “fixes” that do not seem to be helping the economy recover. Greed has consumed Americans and it seems that we are incapable of satisfying our hunger for more. I am reminded of what King Solomon said in Ecclesiastes 5:10 “The one who loves money is never satisfied with money, and whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with income.” The current state of our national economy is a living example of the truth of that verse.

The Green Mountain Baptist Association is not immune to the effects of the current national economic chaos. Like most mission organizations, we are facing serious shortfalls in funding and are having to readjust budgets and reexamine priorities. While this can be very frustrating to experience, it is a powerful reminder of what Paul said in Hebrews 13:5 “Your life should be free from the love of money. Be satisfied with what you have, for He Himself has said, I will never leave you or forsake you.” Paul was teaching us that if we have Jesus, that really should be enough. We know this theologically, now we are also being reminded of it from a practical life application perspective.

These are challenging days for organizations like ours, but our hope must be in the Lord. We do not look to politicians or denominational agencies to “fix” our problem. We look to our Redeemer and we rejoice that our redemption draws nigh!
