Dear Friends and Fellow Laborers in the Gospel,
“And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;” I Timothy 1:12. It is such a privilege and a joy to be in the service of our great King, the Lord Jesus Christ. I am sincerely thankful to Him for calling me to preach and for giving me a work to do for His glory. I am sincerely thankful also to you, our faithful supporters, whom He has used in so many ways to make it possible for me to do what God has called me to do.
The first Sunday in May marked the end of our first year in Missions. The manifold blessings of the Lord over the last year have reminded us daily that where God guides, God always provides! He led us to step out by faith to become the President and General Director of Macedonia World Baptist Missions, and He has abundantly provided for our every need. We have put over 50,000 miles on our vehicle as we travel around the country spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. In each mile He has protected us, provided for us, and proved His care for us. After one year on deputation, God has provided us with 60% of our needed support. We are praying that we will be fully supported by the end of 2015, and be able to give our full attention to the task of being an aid to our missionaries, their supporting churches, and Pastors around the world.
During this quarter I have preached many Revival meetings and Missions meetings. It was my great joy to lead a young man to the Lord at an altar of prayer during a meeting in South Carolina. We also saw two saved at meetings in South and North Carolina. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is what the world needs! It will eternally change the lives of those who place their faith in it! It never grows old! It was also our privilege to be part of a Marriage Retreat as well as a College Graduation. The potential of these young people is unlimited as they give themselves and their families to the cause of Christ. We were encouraged by their response to the preaching of God’s Word.
At the MWBM home office, we are preparing for two days of Missionary Training in June with our newest missionary candidates. It was also exciting for the Home Office to have a departure interview with Br. Jamie Smithey and his family as they plan to leave for Chile, South America in June. Helping these missionaries and others like them take the Gospel around the world is the joy of my life!
I want to praise God for providing the need for the plane fare as I make plans to travel to Mexico in August to be with two of our missionaries. I’m looking forward to seeing what God is doing there. By way of prayer requests, please help us pray for our house in Covington to sell. We truly need to be closer to the Home Office as soon as possible. Also, we appreciate your prayers for our safety on the roads, and for the remainder of our needed support to come in. Your prayers are invaluable to us!
As Cassie and I have traveled this quarter to Maine, Maryland, North and South Carolina, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, and Tennessee, you have gone with us through your faithful prayer and financial support. There is fruit being garnered to your account as the Gospel is preached, tracts are being distributed, and witness is given. Thank you for making the Gospel a priority! Only eternity will reveal the worth of your investment.
In His Service,
Psalm 28:7

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.

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.
