Missions Update – January 2013

Dear Pastors and Friends

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and are off to a great New Year!  The year, 2012, was such a great year for us and our ministry.

We were involved in helping start six brand new churches. It’s always exciting to see God at work in different countries and seeing the results of soul winning grow into a new church. We also were able to take some missions trips and had several mission conferences with God working in the hearts of many people. We had thousands of people saved on these trips, and I was able to help baptize people.

One special blessing of 2012 was that in a missions conference, I preached a sermon on Holding the Rope and asked others to hold the rope for myself and other missionaries. Many times I am the one on the far end of the rope. I was to go on a trip to The Dominican Republic and we prayed and prepared for a big weekend. Then Hurricane Sandy, came and I was not able to go. We didn’t let that stop us.  Instead, we helped rent buses and bought Bibles for the missionary so that he could continue with what was planned. They had their big Sunday service and had 1,625 in attendance, 721 saved and 104 baptized. I was on the other end holding the rope. It was such a great feeling, and now I know how many of you feel.

We feel that God has led us to move our ministry to Longview Baptist Temple in Longview, Texas.  Dr. Bob Gray, II’s vision for missions will help enable us more in our growing ministry because of the many doors God has opened. Our first trip, I will help in taking a group of college students from Texas Baptist College to Panama. We have so much to do and need your prayers and help to accomplish it all.

I will be sending out all the new information in the next few days.  Please keep us in your prayers. Note our new address below.
