Dear Co-Laborers:
Missions has a place for all, even the old. Jesus gave the Great
Commission to His church and defined precisely what was to be done. Make
disciples, baptize and teach. His churches and every member has that
command stated as "Go Ye".
With the support of churches such as yours we were able
to open Indonesia for Independent Baptist, establish a few churches and
train a few men in 1970.
We also have seen God do great works in Singapore
and
New Zealand. I need not repeat history which most of you are familiar
with.
After 38 years our health will not allow us to remain full time on the
field. But our "Timothys" have continued the work. There are now
102 Independent Baptist churches in Indonesia.
Stella and I have been kept busy enough for an old couple. We have just
finished two great Mission Conferences. The Centennial Baptist Fellowship,
Denver Co. gave me the honor of being the main speaker for their conference. Pastor Densmore and the church were great hosts.
We were then asked to be the main speaker for Pastor
Tibbetts at The Good
News Baptist Church in the Cayman Islands. That Mission Conference was
conducted June 4-8, 2008. It was a great blessing to see what God is
doing through the ministry of these men.
I don't believe that God is finished with us until He
calls us home.
A big "Thank: You" to you who still
stand
with us in prayers and support.
