IN TUNE WITH TENNESSEE

Baptist and Reflector

Gene Hawkins spent part of his career as director of missions for the Lubbock Area Baptist Association in Texas.

But these days, Hawkins loves to keep tabs on Tennessee. 

Hawkins, pictured to the left, is a dedicated reader of the Baptist and Reflector, which he receives at the assisted living facility where he resides. 

Hawkins lives in the same complex where the mother of Mark Proctor lives. When she told him how much Hawkins enjoyed the paper, Proctor and his wife, Cynthia, both members of the Tennessee Baptist Mission Board staff, sent him a gift subscription. Proctor’s mother said Bro. Hawkins reads it “line by line, every word, every issue.” 

The B&R staff is grateful for readers like the Proctors who value the state paper and share it through gift subscriptions. Gifts are accepted for gift subscriptions for elderly Tennessee Baptists who might enjoy the paper but cannot fit it in their budget. You can also purchase gift subscriptions for people you know in your churches. For more information, contact Mary Nimmo at mnimmo.tnbaptist.org or 615-371-7929. B&R
