Dear Friends and Co-labourers,

Cassie and I greet you in the name of our precious Saviour, rejoicing in the goodness of the Lord.  Paul wrote to his friends at Philippi and said, “I thank my God upon every remembrance of you,  Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy.”  Just as the Philippians had labored with Paul, you have labored with us to reach the world with the Gospel.  We are so blessed.  We thank you for your faithfulness.

The Lord has been so gracious to open many doors in order for us to “fan the flame of world evangelism.”  Our travels have taken us as far north as Delaware and as far south as Florida this quarter.  We rejoice in what we have been blessed to see Him do in the hearts of His people during missions conferences and special missions Sundays.  Thank you for your continued prayers for safety as we travel.

Praise the Lord for answered prayer concerning labourers!  Just recently our Executive Board has approved three new missionary families for the West Indies and Europe.  We also held two departure interviews for missionary families leaving for the field.  Our staff has also been extremely busy with year end tax reports and 1099s for all of our MWBM families.  I am very thankful for the faithfulness of those that labor behind the scenes in order to do those things that few people ever think of when it comes to world evangelism.

We are making plans for the “Reach the World Youth Conference” that will be held here in our missionary training center in Hoschton, Georgia on Saturday, April 22.  We are anticipating a great day of introducing the youth of our generation to the need of reaching the world with the Gospel.  Have you registered your youth group?  Log on to www.mwbm.org/enlisted to do so today.  We are also anticipating a great MWBM Conference this year!  Our conference will be hosted by the Catoosa Baptist Tabernacle of Ringold, Georgia.  Make plans now to join us October 15-18.  Again, for more information log on to mwbm.org.  We would love to have you and your family attend this conference.

Finally, Cassie and I would like to close this quarter’s prayer letter by informing you of a great door of opportunity the Lord has opened for us.   Lord willing, we will be leaving the first of July in order to fill in for MWBM missionary Jonathan Vandenhurk and his family for a period of six weeks.  In order for the Vandenhurks to report to their supporting churches in the states, Cassie and I will be assisting with their duties at the Calvary Baptist Church of Peterborough, England.  While in Europe, we plan to visit several of our church planters there as well as scouting out at least two different cities that are in need of good churches.  Then upon arriving back in the states, we will prayerfully set out to find church planters for those cities.  I personally believe this will make me a better missions director, and renew and strengthen my own burden for the lost of this world.  Would you help us pray for our European missions trip?  Truly the hour is late, and the need has never been greater.  There, of course, is a tremendous expense to such a trip.  We estimate the total travel expense to be around $5,500—6,000.   This includes the cost of visiting our missionaries while we are there.  However, we believe with all of our hearts where God guides, He certainly will provide.  Would you please join us in praying for God’s provision?

Thank you again for your prayers and faithful support.  With your help and by God’s grace, Cassie and I continue by faith.

For the sake of souls,
