Baptists Committed to World Evangelism

More from Missionary Stephen Benefield in Cambodia. Read it and enjoy! One day Farmer Fred heard a voice loudly hailing him from the road. 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.

The following is an excellent story by Missionary Stephen Benefield in Cambodia. Once upon a time there was a farmer named Fred.

Farmer Fred lived on a small farm in the heartland of the United States and had been farming for years. He understood the hard work and investment of time that was required to grow a crop.

The following is by Herbert Kane! The message of the early church was simple: Jesus was God’s Son who died on the cross to provide salvation to all who believe in Him. After Jesus’ ascension the apostles began to tell people about Jesus. The early church did not just do mission. As Herbert Kane wrote, “In those early days the church was mission.

Cultic attraction is often also due to a reaction to biblical Christianity or to the inadequate practice of biblical Christianity. It has often been stated that “cults live off the unpaid debts of the church.” Where ineffective discipleship takes place, the newly converted may easily be victimized by cultic movements.

This Sunday, our church, Vision Baptist Church, will celebrate her 5th anniversary. I cannot believe how fast the last 5 years has passed. It seems like only yesterday, a group of us were staying up through the night getting our auditorium ready for our launch service. Serving on the pastoral staff of a church plant does not make me an expert but did teach me some things: You will either create a market for your church or you will adapt and provide what is already being provided

One of the recurring things I run into in presenting our ministry in churches is some confusion about what Project SW Europe is, so I thought I’d write a little to hopefully clear some of those questions up. So here’s number 1: 1. If you are a missionary to Barcelona, why would you target such a large area? How can you expect to reach several countries? Good question! Obviously we can’t be in several places at once, and bouncing around from country to country without a base of operations wouldn’t work very well for a church-planter.

We are looking for the right kind of missionaries to have in our Mission’s Conference September 15-17, 2011. We don’t want just any missionary! We are looking for the right kind of men to partner with. We are looking for the following in a missionary: 1.
