We are honored to partner with New Life Baptist Church in reaching Japan with the Gospel! Darrel Cox, the missions director, called yesterday and said they had voted to take us on for support! Which brings us to 21% of our support! When we were there in March, we got to meet several wonderful people and became friends. Thank you for all you did for us and we miss you guys!

Pastor Rick Spence had been to Japan for a missions trip. While there he met a Japanese Pastor that was thankful for all that America had done for Japan, but then asked why the US focused on sending money but not the Gospel. Pastor Spence said it broke his heart to hear that man tell his story. It gives us something to think about doesn’t it? We will quickly send some money to help those in need, but recoil when it comes to actually taking the Gospel.

Pray for us as we travel to Staunton, VA tomorrow!

This past week we were excited to attend our mission board’s orientation! It was thrilling to hear from our veterean missionaries, and learn from their experience. I’m thankful to be a part of Vision Baptist Missions, but even more so to be a part of the family that VBM encompasses. There are many great mission boards out there, but few offer a close team of missionaries and even fewer that are close enough to call family. We may be small in size, but I would gladly spend and be spent for them and they for me. Our heart, our desire is to see the nations worship Christ!

We are blessed to be part of such a team of friends and co-laborers in Christ! On the left you can see Mark Coffey showing a map of where God has placed our team through out the world! The picture on the right is Robert Canfield talking about our ministry philosophy of Be-Do-Serve-Train. Learn more about it at www.bcwe.org.

We’ve had three new supporting churches so far in April! On 4-11, we were at Gospel Baptist Tabernacle Church in NC. I was able to preach, and at the end of the service, Pastor David Bolick called for a vote to take us on for support! It was such a blessing to meet the people there! We praise the Lord for this church partnering with us to take the Gospel to Japan!

Wayside Baptist Church in NC has taken us on for support as well! We were in their missions conference back in February! We had a great meeting there, and got to hear some good preaching! Thank you for your support and prayers!

Pastor Mike Westmoreland, of Madison Street Baptist church in Athens, AL, called me today and let us know that they had voted to take us on for support! This was the very first missions conference we were in on deputation. We are thankful for the friends we made there, and you are in our prayers especially Heath and Haley (We miss you guys)! Thank you Pastor Mike for the opportunity you gave us to come and present our ministry!
