For all of our years in ministry our mission has been simple: getting the Gospel into the next towns. Mark 1:38 has not only been our motto, it has been our life – going into the next towns. We are all about evangelism, discipleship, training, and church planting. I hope we can continue for as many years as the good Lord gives us. We live for this. We get up everyday to see how we can get the Gospel a bit further into the regions beyond us.
Today I talked to several of our pastors to check on the work that is going on in their areas. What a blessing to hear of their faithful evangelism and the plans they have and how the Lord is blessing. Keep praying for these men as they serve the Lord. Keep praying for us as we personally go out to open new works, as we help the pastors we have already trained in their work and as we train and prepare others to go on to yet other fields. I spoke with one of our pastors in Cuba today about the burden he has to open a new work in Ecuador. My heart was filled with joy and emotion as I realized how they are living for the Great Commission. These are pastors in a communist country, working in harsh conditions, with much persecution, but they are thinking about how to get the Gospel out to other places far and near.
Today I get to – notice I didn’t say I have to – I get to go and train some of our men and mentor and help them become what God has called them to do! Praise the Lord! Yes, this is what we live for … to go … to preach … to yet another town. www.baptistevangelism.org
