The Cutting Edge seeks to inform women about the varied opportunities for involvement in missions and ministry.

The Great Commission is very familiar. In most cases, when quoting we start at verse 18. But it is important to go to the source.

I have been home from Haiti for a few weeks, but realized that I did not send a final update.
Four years ago the theme and focus for the Shasta Association’s annual women’s retreat was mentoring. Catherine Mero Stallings came forward and asked Fay Hensley to be her mentor. Fay later told me, “The only thing I know anything about is cooking, so that’s what I’ll teach Catherine.” She mentored Catherine as they worked together preparing meals weekly that our church sponsored to meet our community’s needs

One woman in Southern Baptists’ mission history resembles a perennial perhaps more than any other. Born in 1850, Annie Armstrong became a Christian at age 20.
A trip to our nation’s capital took on a new dimension for me when my family and I visited the Lincoln Memorial. While I was standing reading the Gettysburg Address on one of the walls, a man approached me and asked, “Can you please explain what these words mean?”
The large gift arrived. It created a stir in the family because of its size. Inside I found a beautiful wall-hanging that had been quilted by one of my good friends. The hours it must have taken to make all those tiny stitches! Handmade gifts are extra special because of the extra love and care that go into their making. Gifts like my wall-hanging continue to give through the years long after the wrapping paper has been thrown away.
There are several Web links you should know about to help you, your family and your church stay informed about mission efforts in the United States.

Here are some helpful websites for strengthening your church’s outreach strategy.
