Dear Pastor, Churches, and Praying Friends,
What a wonderful privilege to be in the service of our Wonderful Lord! The Bible says in Colossians 3:23-24, “And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord, and not unto men; Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward of inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.” It is our great honor and privilege to be our Lord’s servants, and we are endeavoring to serve Him with all our hearts as we obey His call to help plant churches all over the world.
The Lord has graciously filled our calendar until Spring 2015. Each week we are in Revival meetings, World Missions Conferences, Camp Meetings…it’s a busy schedule! We are so thankful for the opportunity to be able to share the Gospel and to encourage God’s people to walk in obedience to Him in spreading the Gospel around the world. Recently we saw a young lady trust Christ as her Saviour in Florida. It has also been a joy to speak with folks all over the country who feel God’s call on their lives to become missionaries. Besides preaching in many different churches, I am working with the staff and missionary families of Macedonia World Baptist Missions to try to do all we can do to efficiently spread the Gospel to those who have never heard. It is my goal to help local churches reproduce themselves throug the efforts of their missionaries in every corner of the globe. Where there is a creature, there ought to be a Preacher!
In the upcoming months I will be traveling to Maine and New Hampshire to visit church planting missionaries there who are doing a great work for Christ. I will also be blessed to travel to Vancouver, Canada this fall. Please remember our family in your prayers as we seek to raise our needed monthly support. We have realized after all these months of constantly being on the road that the prayer for traveling mercies is much needed! We have seen many traffic accidents and been in much bad weather, but the Lord has protected us each mile.
We are so very thankful to each of you for your financial and prayer support. The Lord has used you as an instrument of His grace to provide for us, and we are sincerely grateful for each of you.
June 2014
As we have completed our first month of deputation, I must say the prominent thing that comes to my mind are the verses in Ephesians 3:20-21…”Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end, Amen.” We have been constantly amazed at the blessing of the Lord’s call upon our lives. We are awed by the way our great God has cared for our every need, sometimes in miraculous ways at just the last minute. We are encouraged by the compassion of Christians who have prayed for us and offered many acts of kindness.
Over the last several weeks we have been part of Mission meetings, Jubilees, Revival meetings and special Sundays in Georgia, South Carolina, Tennessee, and North Carolina. We have been blessed to be in excellent services where the Spirit of God moved and changed lives! One such meeting was especially unique…it was held in an old barn in Robbinsville, NC. After the service a young man let me know that the message from God’s word met a great need in his life. He was a true encouragement. It made me glad I obeyed God in launching out into this great work!
The greatest need of our family at present is monthly support. It is the great purpose of my life to follow the Lord’s leading in partnering with local churches to get missionaries to the field to spread the Gospel of Christ. In order to do this as God has led me, I must have the financial and prayer support of folks like you. Please help me and my family pray that the Lord would burden the hearts of Pastors and individuals to “hold the ropes” for the Caudill family as we seek to help plant Gospel preaching churches all over the world.
