Baptists Committed to World Evangelism

There are only 10 days left to register for the Latin Bridge Retreat ’12 !  Make your plans today to be a part of this event.

We are so glad God has given us the opportunity to have two of the best keynote speakers you could imagine.  Be sure to register today! Visit bcwe.org  to learn more about Latin American missions

We believe in the ministry of the local church. Fact is that the term local church is redundant. It is our goal to see like minded churches started all over the world.

I want to challenge every missionary to listen to this sermon by Missionary to Kenya Randy Stirewalt speaking on how to do mission work. I am very impressed with him and the ministry. He is preaching on the Biblical Method for church planting. This man will be speaking at the Latin Bridge retreat January 6-7, 2012. Make plans to be with us

Our home church is hosting a church planting seminar absolutely free of charge on November 3-4!  If you are a church planter, pastor, missionary, in full time-ministry, considering church planting, or just want to be learn more about and b involved in church planting, I want to encourage you to attend this event.  Dr. Earl Jessup and Baptist Church Planting have been involved in helping both my brothers with their church plants.  My pastor, Austin Gardner, has planted many churches.  I guarantee you that you will learn a wealth of information from this seminar that will challenge and help you.

He went down the lane to his main gate and met a nice man, a friendly man, who introduced himself as Shortcut Sam and then wasted no time in saying what was on his mind. “Farmer Fred, I’ve heard a lot about your farm. You’ve been at it for a good long while

The following is a story by Missionary Stephen Benefield in Cambodia. It is super excellent with much for me to learn and consider! One day another guest dropped by to see Farmer Fred. He identified himself as Ralph the Reaper, a no-nonsense, results-oriented farmer. “Nice place you got here,” he said, but that was where the pleasantries ended.
