Dear Co Labourers,
To God be the glory, great things He has done! Cassie and I write with exciting news since our previous letter. Over the course of the last quarter our Executive Board has been very busy. We have approved new missionary families to the Southwest as well as the Northwest USA. Another couple has committed to be a part of our “church rescue” ministry and assist struggling churches across America. In just a few days we will be interviewing another family that has filed application to take the Gospel to China. These are exciting days to say the least; days in which we have been reminded that God is not through calling His people to very specific fields of service. It is our joy here at Macedonia to labor alongside of these sending churches and pastors in order that others may hear the same good news that changed our lives. Praise the Lord!
We have had the busiest spring since our service began with Macedonia. Week after week, while staying in close contact with our home office, it has been our joy to travel from state to state as ambassadors for world evangelism. God has granted safety over the course of thousands of miles of traveling for which we are grateful. He has also given us souls for our labor. Recently, while soul winning during a mission conference at the Freedom Baptist Church of Fayetteville, NC, where Brother Paul Worley serves as the pastor, I had the privilege of leading a seventeen-year-old young man to the Lord. What a joy! I am also praying for another man I met that week by the name of David. David was so kind to allow me to share the Gospel with him; however, he has yet to respond to it. Will you please join me in prayer for David? The greatest need right now in David’s life is his need of a Saviour
We also want to ask you to be much in prayer as Cassie and I plan two separate missions trips in 2020. We are not sure at this point if she will be able to attend both; however, our plans are to be in Africa in January, as well as Europe in July of next year. Currently we are saving as much as we can and trusting the Lord to supply the finances in order that we may purchase the airline tickets. The Lord is able! He has reminded us of that time and time again. In fact, we want to personally thank Pastor Travis Blackwell and our friends at the Westside Baptist Church of Spartanburg, SC, who have been so very gracious to send monthly support specifically designated for travel. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. God has been so gracious to us through His people. We do not take that lightly neither do we take it for granted. We are determined to be good and gracious stewards of the support that God gives. We have set up a separate travel account here at the office as we plan for the trips I have mentioned next year. We sure would appreciate your prayers for safety as well as for the financial need to be met.
Five years ago last month, Cassie and I left the pastorate after twenty two years in order for me to serve as the General Director of MWBM. It would be absolutely impossible for me to share the names of all the people that God has used to assist us in doing what God has called us to do. However, let me say to each of you yet again, thank you. We love and appreciate you all and count it an honor to labor alongside of you for the Gospel’s sake. Therefore, in light of the great need of the world, we continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
Dr. Scott Caudill
