Golf Tournament

Another great golf fundraiser is on the books! Thank you to all who attended and to our sponsors. Everyone had a great time.

Another Prophet's Chamber

These two awesome gentlemen showed up to help install a shower and make a prophets chamber in the chapel building. We've had many of you come through lately, and we want to make accommodations for those who might be teaching, helping, and visiting our beautiful campus. 

Brazil Bound!! 

This week, Tyler & Brianna Chandler and their family flew out to Brazil. They finished deputation and now beginning their next stage of the missionary journey. Keep them in prayer as they adapt, learn a new language, and set up life on the field where God has placed them.

Congratulations to Kyle & Hannah Shreve on the official purchase of property for their church. Amen!

It's a blessing when missionary ladies can grab a coffee or meal together. The next meetup for missionary ladies will be on Wednesday, October 14th at 1pm.

Podcasts Continue

Last week we were blessed to host a special missionary family on the Mission Post podcast. It was a blessing to hear how God has used them, and I am certain that the practical advice they offered throughout the podcast will encourage and help you. 

Christian School Teachers & Staff

Praise the Lord for how God is blessing and using Jason & Charity Rishel. This is a meeting with the teachers and staff of the Christian school. Amen! 

Status of World Evangelism

Recently, Travis Snode preached the missions conference at Vision Baptist Church.  As part of the conference, he presented the following numbers from Joshua Project:

• 11% of the world (0.91 billion) profess true faith in Christ (“evangelical Christians”)
• 21% (1.74 billion) are Christians in name only (“nominal Christians”)
• 40% (3.32 billion) have limited access to the gospel
• 28% (2.32 billion) have virtually no access to the gospel

With nearly 7.5 billion people in our world not professing faith in Christ, let us obey Jesus’ instructions in Matthew 9:38 and continue praying for laborers.

Newest Stickers

In preparation for the conference season, we have new stickers, brochures, and materials to hand out. Thank the Lord for the doors that God is opening! We are very blessed.
