Faith. Passion. Community. Worship. These are the cornerstones behind Vaughan Baptist Church and we approach each day with these in mind. Founded in 1897, our church was established on the ideals of serving God in word and deed and impacting our community and our world in the name of Jesus Christ.

2 Corinthians 9:7
“So let each one give as he purposes in his heart, not grudgingly or of necessity; for God loves a cheerful giver.”
Hebrews 13:6
But do not forget to do good and to share, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.
Acts 20:35
I have shown you in every way by laboring like this, that you must support the weak. And remember the words of the Lord Jesus, that He said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”
God loves a cheerful giver because God is a cheerful giver. The born-again believer in Jesus Christ should not view the giving of tithes and offerings as a dreaded duty, but as a privilege. We should see these acts as a grace given to us by our God. It is one way we can show our gratitude for the gift of salvation God has given to us in His son Jesus Christ. It is an opportunity to show gratitude for the daily provisions God so graciously provides for you. When you give to support the Gospel ministry you are investing in the eternal Kingdom of Heaven.
Thank You and God Bless,
Pastor Ray Renn

Pastor's worship service
May 8th at 9 AM
at Vaughan Baptist Church
at Vaughan Baptist Church
Enterprise Baptist Church, Lake Gaston Baptist Church and Vaughan Baptist Church would like to invite you to join with local pastors from Warren and surrounding counties for a Pastor's Worship Service. The service will be held monthly. The kickoff service will be held on May 8th, at 9 am at Vaughan Baptist Church. The hope is to give local pastors a chance to come together, fellowship and worship with other pastors. Pastors are always feeding the sheep and we would like to feed the shepherds. The speaker for May will be Ken Patterson. Ken lives in Henderson, NC. He attends and serves in various ways at New Sandy Creek Baptist Church. He is a close friend, prayer warrior and ministry partner of Pastor Ray Renn, VBC, and several other local Vance county pastors. We are looking forward to hearing from the Lord during this service, and we hope you will take advantage of this worship opportunity.
Pastor's thoughts

Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope.
— Psalm 119:49
Whatever your especial need may be, you may readily find some promise in the Bible suited to it. Are you faint and feeble because your way is rough and you are weary? Here is the promise - "He giveth power to the faint." When you read such a promise, take it back to the great Promiser, and ask Him to fulfil His own word. Are you seeking after Christ, and thirsting for closer communion with Him? This promise shines like a star upon you - "Blessed are they that hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." Take that promise to the throne continually; do not plead anything else, but go to God over and over again with this - "Lord, Thou hast said it, do as Thou hast said." Are you distressed because of sin, and burdened with the heavy load of your iniquities? Listen to these words - "I, even I, am He that blotteth out thy transgressions, and will no more remember thy sins." You have no merit of your own to plead why He should pardon you, but plead His written engagements and He will perform them. Are you afraid lest you should not be able to hold on to the end, lest, after having thought yourself a child of God, you should prove a castaway? If that is your state, take this word of grace to the throne and plead it: "The mountains may depart, and the hills may be removed, but the covenant of My love shall not depart from thee." If you have lost the sweet sense of the Saviour's presence, and are seeking Him with a sorrowful heart, remember the promises: "Return unto Me, and I will return unto you;" "For a small moment have I forsaken thee, but with great mercies will I gather thee." Banquet your faith upon God's own word, and whatever your fears or wants, repair to the Bank of Faith with your Father's note of hand, saying, "Remember the word unto Thy servant, upon which Thou hast caused me to hope."

Haiti Mission Project

I had the opportunity this past week to sit down and talk with Clenel Preval. As many of you know he recently returned from Haiti. I shared previously with you all that we had reached just over $30k towards our $60k goal for the "Buy the Field" offering. The seller of the field we desired to purchase was in a situation where he needed to sell the property quicker than he had originally planned. Praise the Lord that the funds were made available to us! With all the glory to God, it is my privilege to announce that the transaction has been completed! The land has been purchased! Clenel was able to complete the purchase during his trip in February.
Among other things, Clenel delivered walkers to the 5 year old twin girls Lovelie shared with us about. Clenel said that the family was so thankful to God for the walkers, and that the girls were able to walk using them right away! Also during his trip, Clenel visited 2 schools where he preached the gospel and saw several young people come to faith in Jesus Christ. He helped with the feeding program that Lake Gaston supports, and he preached the Sunday service at the local church.
Clenel was able to meet with several tradesmen before leaving Haiti. These meetings helped give us some direction for the next steps in the "Buy the Field" mission. After much prayer and discernment, we believe it is most important that we drill a well on the property as the next phase in this mission. The well will provide clean drinking water for the community as well as irrigation for crops and sustaining livestock in the future. The tradesmen advised Clenel that the cost of drilling the well and installing a hand pump will be approximately $6k. In the future, the hand pump will be replaced with an electric setup. There is a need for a permanent human presence on the property before we install an electric setup. Our next objective is to raise $6k for completion of the well. So please pray and give as you feel led to do so.
I want to shine some additional light just in case God would lay it on the hearts of His people to contribute even more towards the mission. Once we have the well in place, the next step will be to build a dwelling and a storage building on the property. The dwelling will house the individual or persons that will be overseeing Center Faith Ministries daily operations in Haiti. It will allow the director to live on the property, organize and oversee ministry operations and provide some security for the property. The dwelling will have a bedroom, bathroom, small kitchen and a living/gathering room for people to come for ministry. A storage building will also be needed to store tools, equipment, seed, feed, etc. The cost to complete the structures will be approximately $20k.
I would like to thank you all for the prayers for Clenel's safety. As with any good work God is doing, Satan is in opposition to it. Clenel did have a few issues on the return home. Clenel shared that God used the delays to help strengthen his faith and trust in Jesus Christ. He and Lovelie are very appreciative of the prayers and praise God for Clenel's safety. Please feel free to share with your family, friends and co-workers about the "Buy the Field" mission and the Center Faith Ministries work in Haiti. Please continue to pray for the "Buy the Field" mission, the work of Center Faith Ministries, the work of Lake Gaston Baptist church, the local missionaries and the churches in Haiti. God has not forsaken the people of Haiti and neither have we!
Thank you and God bless,
Pastor Ray Renn
