From the Heart
of Your DOMM
Dear Friends.
The Northshore Baptist Association is oII to
a good start. Moderator Joe Dunn capably led
the Iirst ever Executive Board meeting on
January 18. Reports and obiectives were
shared by team leaders and the Board passed a
signiIicant matter oI business. the employment oI Dr. Tobey
Pitman as part time Community Ministry Liaison/Strategist.
Brother Tobey retired Irom a long and distinguished career as a
National Missionary with the North American Mission Board oI
the Southern Baptist Convention. He brings to our Northshore
Iamily a vast portIolio oI work in the component we identiIy as
compassionate ministries. He has been serving with us 'on loan¨
Irom the NAMB since the hurricanes oI 2005 totally changed the
Greater New Orleans area. Drop Brother Tobey an email at Tobey.
Pitman(gmail.com and make him Ieel welcome to work with our
Association.
The membership oI Northshore Baptist Association stands
currently at more than 70 churches. A list appears elsewhere in this
edition oI The Anchor. It is my hope that all current Chappapeela.
LaTangi. and St. Tammany Baptist Associations member churches
will take advantage oI the 'open enrollment¨ period to pass in an
oIIicial meeting oI the church the necessary action that will
guarantee the church its membership in the NSBA. II your
congregation is not listed and you want to know how to take
advantage oI the oIIer above. please contact me at Lonnie(i-55.
com or call me at 225.567.5086.
A region wide new work PROBE is scheduled Ior April 1. This
will assist us to have a visual picture oI where God is leading us to
plant new churches and ministries. Our region has grown by a net
oI at least 20° over the past ten years and the lostness continues to
be overwhelming. Please consider helping us with the PROBE.
Eight teams oI Iive people (40 people) are needed as well as eight
vans or vehicles that can comIortably transport Iive people and
their recording materials. Let our Church Planter Strategist Lane
Corley know iI you can help us or iI you have questions. Drop him
an email at lane(bridgenorthshore.com.

The dates Ior the 2011 LBC Annual Meeting have been
set Ior November 14-15. This is always an important
meeting. More so this year since Northshore is to be the
host association AND First Covington is the host church!
Additionally. CrossOver is a regional evangelistic outreach
eIIort the weekend beIore each Annual Meeting and will be
on November 12 and 13. Planning has already begun that is
expected to direct the CrossOver emphasis. It is important
that each oI our pastors and churches be aware oI and save
these dates. Many Northshore volunteers and leaders will
be needed to strengthen CrossOver so that our region is
impacted in a positive way during those days. Please begin
praying. asking how the Lord will use you and His
congregations to touch our Iriends and neighbors on the
Northshore. A Steering Team will be appointed soon.
Please contact Tobey Pitman (Tobey.Pitman(gmail.com)
and let him know oI your willingness to serve.
