Dear Friends and Co-labourers,

Cassie and I trust this letter finds each of you well and enjoying the manifold blessings of our wonderful Lord.  Has not the Lord been good to allow us to serve Him?  We rejoice in the opportunity that we have been given not only to serve the Lord, but to serve Him alongside of God’s wonderful people.  We truly are labourers together for the cause of Christ.  Thank you for your faithfulness in praying, supporting, and giving so that Cassie and I might continue to do what God has called us to do.

Since our last prayer letter we have been in churches in North Carolina, South Carolina, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Nebraska, Mississippi and New Mexico.  We are very grateful for traveling mercies and for more opportunities to “fan the flame” of world evangelism.  We constantly pray for the Lord to open the doors that He would have opened and have absolutely been amazed to see Him do so.  Recently while preaching at the Midwestern Jubilee, at the invitation of Macedonia church planter Andrew Schank and the Great Commission Baptist Church of Blair Nebraska, a teen-age boy named Justin was gloriously saved by the good grace of God.  It never gets old seeing people pass from death unto life having responded to the Gospel.  We have also been thrilled to see the Lord stir the hearts of His people in giving more than they have ever given before by faith in order to reach the world with that same gospel.  Oh what a thrill it is to see the Lord work!  September through November is our busiest time of year for missions revivals.  Will you please help me pray that God would use us in a very special way during these meetings?  From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for your prayers.

As a result of your prayers and financial support I was also blessed to be a part of Macedonia’s Southwest Orientation in Waterflow, New Mexico.  Pastor Don Chitty, missionary to the Navajo Indians, and Pastor of the Open Bible Baptist Church there was a very gracious host to say the least.  Brother John Beck (Macedonia’s Southwest Field Director) did an outstanding job leading the classes as well as moderating the services.  I believe our church planters in the Southwest were both encouraged and
enabled to stay the course for God in their various works.  I could not have been a part of that very important and needed week without your help.  Thank you!

In my last letter I mentioned that next year Cassie and I plan to travel to Europe in order to be a part of a conference being planned by our European Field Director, Dr. Roger Baker.  Currently, MWBM has 11 families serving in Europe and the Middle East.  I believe God has put it in our hearts to be in some of their churches, visit with them, encourage them, preach to them and try our very best to be a blessing to them while there.  Some of our supporting churches have asked about helping with the expense of the trip.  What a blessing!  Thank you so much.  The airfare for the two of us currently is about $3000.  Then of course there is lodging for a week to ten days we have to plan for as well.  Needless to say the cost of such a trip is very expensive.  Therefore, I have asked our secretary here at the home office to set up a travel expense account for the European conference in July, 2018.  This is a step of faith.  I am firmly convinced if God wants us in Europe in July of next year, He is more than able to meet the need.  I assure you this is not a frivolous request on our part, but rather a real need.  I truly feel this trip will enable me to be a more effective General Director for the cause of missions in Europe and even the world for God’s glory.

In closing I rejoice in the wonderful 43rd annual MWBM conference recently hosted by the Corinth Baptist Church of Loganville, Ga.   During this meeting Macedonia celebrated 50 years of assisting local Independent Baptist Churches service their missionaries.  Thank you Pastor Tommy Foskey and church family for going out of your way to be a blessing to the over 30 MWBM families that attended the conference.  As a result of your encouragement, as well as the many that labor with us, we continue by

faith.

 

Serving Him with gladness,

Dear Friends and Co Labourers,

Again, Cassie and I greet you in the wonderful name of our Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ.  As I begin to ponder His many blessings over the course of the last two months, one of my favorite portions of Scripture comes to mind.  Lamentations 3:22-23 says, “It is of the LORD’s mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.  They are new every morning: great is thy faithfulness.”  We are so humbled by the opportunity to serve our wonderful Lord in the capacity in which He has called us to do so.  It is only by His faithfulness we are able to continue.  We’re also thrilled to labor together with you in order to carry out God’s will to reach the world with the Gospel.  Only eternity will reveal the true worth of our efforts together.  Thank you.

These past few weeks have been very busy to say to the least.  Since our last prayer letter we have interviewed church planters headed to Honduras, the Philippines, as well as the great state of Texas.  I have had the privilege of visiting with two of our church planters in the state of Montana and to again see the need first hand for Bible believing churches in the Western USA.  In the month of June, I plan to travel to Nebraska as well as New Mexico in order to try and be a help to more of our church planters.  Would you please join me in prayer for traveling mercies?  Certainly a world at its worst, needs a church at its best!  We have also been in a different church every week since our last letter “fanning the flame of world evangelism.”  As a result of that, we have been blessed to see churches increase their faith promise missions giving as well as develop an even greater vision to reach the world with the gospel.  It is only through your faithful giving and your fervent prayers that we are able to continue.  From the bottom of our hearts, thank you.

We do have a very special prayer request this quarter.  Lord willing, in July of 2018, should the Lord stay His coming, we will be making a trip to Europe with Macedonia’s European Field Director, Dr. Roger Baker.  God has put it on Dr. Baker’s heart to have a European conference in Germany in order to meet with and encourage as many of our European church planters as possible.  Currently, MWBM has 11 families serving in Europe and the Middle East.  Cassie and I would love to accompany Dr. Baker during the conference.  As you can imagine, the cost of such a trip is very expensive.  Currently we can expect to pay as much as $1500 a person just to get there.  However, we are firmly convinced if the Lord wants us there, He is able to provide to that end.  If you could help us pray that God would help us meet this need we would appreciate it very much.  We will certainly do our part knowing that God has promised to do His.  He is able!

Beyond a shadow of a doubt the highlight of our travels since our last letter came on a Wednesday night at the Eastside Baptist Church in Mebane, NC, when after I finished preaching a ten year old girl named Cayleigh knelt in the altar and asked Jesus to save her soul.  Praise the Lord! God is still in the soul saving business!  Therefore, with joy in our hearts, we continue by faith.

Serving Him with gladness,
