Jonathan Anderson - Mexico
I thank God for a young man that has such a great desire to serve God. Bro. Jonathan was save at the age of five, being led to the Lord by his parents in his home. He has been a member of Calvary Baptist Church in Smyrna, Ga for the last nine years. This is also his sending church. T.P. Johnston is his pastor.
Bro. Jonathan has recently begun deputation and currently has 10% of his support . You can learn more about this young man by going to www.winmexicoforchrist.com or by calling him at (770) 654-9589. He will be a blessing to you and your church!
New Life Baptist Church
I am so excited to get to go to New Life Baptist Church in Dalton, GA. Pastor Rick Spence is one of the finest men that I have ever met. God is blessing him and using him in great ways. I encourage you to visit their church web page to find out more about this ministry.
May God give each of us a spirit of anticipation as we prepare to go into churches tomorrow and preach the Word of God. May sleep flee us as dreams of what God can do flood our minds. How I look forward to the testimonies of how God used you this weekend!
Send me a paragraph of how the services went and I would love to share it with the other breathren on deputation!!

How Do You View Yourself?
I came across the following testimony of William Carey in my reading. I was amazed at his view of himself. I meet those who are “pridefully” humble and I have met those whose humility is genuine. I do not believe William Carey was “just saying this” for the preachers listening. I believe his success was due to his understanding that God was everything and he was nothing. May genuine humility exude from our lives as we preach the Gospel.
William Carey (1761-1834) was a Baptist missionary to India. He was a pastor in England before going to the mission field where he served the Lord for 41 years translating the Scriptures. He never returned to England. When he became ill with the disease that would kill him, he was asked to select the Biblical text to be used at his funeral. He replied, “Oh, I feel that such a poor sinful creature is unworthy to have anything said about him; but if a funeral sermon must be preached, let it be from the words, ‘Have mercy on me, O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions.’” He also directed the following epitaph to be engraved on his gravestone:
WILLIAM CAREY, BORN AUGUST 17th, 1761:
DIED–
“A wretched, poor, and helpless worm
On Your kind arms I fall.”

Scott and Donna Allen
What a joy it has been meeting Scott and Donna Allen. They recently were accepted by Macedonia as missionaries to Brazil South America. This is not foreign to Bro. Scott becaused he was raised in Brazil as his father and mother, Phillip and Charlotte Allen, were also missionaries there. Bro. Scott is fluent in the Portuguese language and has been helping his father in a Portuguese work in Atlanta, Ga for the last three years.
Bro. Scott has been married to Donna for 26 years! They have two precious daughters, Rebecca (16) and Elizabeth (12). This is a delightful family that I ask you to pray for and if at all possible have come by your church. You can contact Bro. Scott at 678-852-7767. They are planning on going to Joinville Brazil.
May God richly bless each of you.

A Bright Star in a Black World
Tonight we had the privilege of being at our home church, Whitfield Baptist, to hear Bro. Joe Author preach. What a wonder meeting and message. The church was packed and we had a wonderful service!
Bro. Joe preached on Acts 27:20 on us being stars that would shine in this world. It was very convicting and good. I would recommed you getting a copy of the message. It will be a blessing to you.
As we travel around, we have the opportunity to be “stars” shining for the Lord Jesus Christ. Guiding churches and giving them hope in reaching the world with the Gospel. May you shine bright as you go and preach, love and share your burden. Stay close to the Son so that your light will shine and people will glorify God in heaven.
I love you guys and pray that God would use you in great and mighty ways!
