Description

Reflections of a Journey by Lloyd F. Jackson, Jr., is an engaging history of the development and work of missions-minded men through an organization which ultimately became known as Baptist Men and, in time, many of the individuals associated with Baptist Men began to participate in Virginia Baptists’ responses to ministry in places where disasters had occurred. The Disaster Relief ministry has involved both men and women who have sought to be Christ-like servants to those in great need.

The Baptist Men’s part of the story includes their ministry with you boys through the organization known as Royal Ambassadors, as well as the work with the Virginia Baptist camps: Camp Piankatank in the Eastern part of Virginia and Camp Peaks of Otter, a wilderness camp experience in the mountains. It also includes stories about practical hands-on ministry projects through Impact Virginia, World Changers, and Virginia Baptist participation in construction projects in Virginia and far beyond.

The Virginia Baptist Disaster Relief part of the story includes responses to natural disasters including most notable the aftermath of several devastating hurricanes and to the horrific disaster of September 11, 2001, and the tragedy at Virginia Tech in 2007. Among the responses has been the establishment of a feeding ministry that has operated out of portable kitchens. The ministry has involved numerous Virginia Baptist men and women.
