ALABAMA STATE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CONVENTION

THE BAPTIST LEADER

To The Baptist Family of Alabama: I would like to take this time to thank you for giving me the opportunity to serve these past three years as president of the Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention. It has been a pleasure and an honor. Together we have served the Body of Christ through mission, evangelism,and education. There is still work to be done. To that end, I appreciate your continued support as I seek re-election for this esteemed office, allowing me to finish the work we have begun. To date, some of our accomplishments are: 1. Restructuring the Department of Missions to include disaster relief. Giving over $150,000 in response to ministries and families victimized by tornados, hurricanes and church burnings in Alabama, Oklahoma and New York. 2. Appointed a Director of Missions as principal over all missionary efforts. 3. Founded a Department of Evangelism. 4. Appointed a Superintendent of Evangelism. 5. Launched the Campus Beatification Project of Selma University. 6. Revitalized Selma University Campus at a cost of $160,000. 7. Demolished antiquated buildings on Selma University campus to develop new leading-edge facilities. 8. Given in excess of $400,000 to the operation of Selma University. 9. Reclaimed churches into active membership in Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention. 10. Since 1996 has led Elizabeth Missionary Baptist Church to contribute a minimum of $10,000 per year to Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention. 11. Given annual monetary gifts to retired and disabled pastors during the annual session of the State Convention. In addition to these achievements I have been blessed to receive accolades from various leaders in our convention. Dr C A Lett, past Executive Secretary remarked, "I first came to Selma University in 1932. It is better off now than ever before". Miss Selma University 2011 stated after the landscaping was completed, "Now, I really feel like I am at a true university as I walk the campus". Friends, your support has been the backbone of every success we share jointly, and it keeps me going every day as I represent you as the president of the Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention. I am asking for your vote come this November in the 147th session of our great Convention that our work may continue and we leave a legacy for future generations.

In the name of Christ of Calvary, Dr. Vernon Swift, President ASMBC

ELECTIONS RULES -- ALABAMA STATE MISSIONARY BAPTIST CONVENTION, INC. The Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention in order to facilitate continuity of purpose and adherence to established Christian principles seeks to promulgate standard operating procedures to be utilized during officer elections. The Convention mandates that the election system be impartial and provide uniformity and equanimity. Therefore, the following procedures shall be utilized for elections by the Convention and its auxiliaries (NE, NW, SE, SW). Election Commission: The President and, if the President is unable or fails, the Executive Board shall designate persons from member churches reflecting equally the Four Wings of the Convention to serve as the Elections Commission for the Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention and its auxiliaries. This Commission shall serve for a term that covers the election(s) for which they were appointed. In the event a member or members of the Elections Commission cannot or fails to serve the appointed term, then the Commission shall select another member from the same wing to fill the vacancy. The Commission shall designate persons as election workers to facilitate the election process. The District State Convention Presidents will have the option to serve as assistants to the Election Commission. General Rules Election Date: The election date shall be designated as the Thursday morning following the official opening of the Annual Session of the Alabama State Missionary Baptist Convention. If an alternative date is needed, it shall be determined by the President in conjunction with the Executive Board and announced during the opening session of the Convention. Voting Times: Voting will begin at 9:00 a.m. and continue till 2:00 p.m. A monitor will be stationed at the end of the line to prevent persons from entering the line after 2:00 p.m. Any persons in line at closing time who have not voted will be allowed to continue through and vote; persons will not be allowed to enter the line after it has been closed. Auxiliary Elections: Auxiliary election dates and times shall be determined by the President of said wing in conjunction with the President of the Parent Body and the Elections Commission Chairman.
