NEWSLETTER
AUGUST 2007
By the time most of you receive this month’s newsletter,
the Candidate Seminar and Mission Family Retreat for 2007 will be history.
I am excited about the new missionaries who will be joining our mission
family and I will introduce them in next month’s newsletter.
While we are thankful for these new members of our mission family, the
need is so very great for more missionaries.
Please join in fervent prayer to the Lord of the harvest that He will
continue to call men and women and that they will respond to the call.
Work is under way to improve and enlarge the Missions
Department at Arlington Baptist College. When
the program is complete, it will give us one of the best Mission Departments of
any Bible College in America. Bro.
Brian Powers will dedicate himself to the task of adding new missions
courses and outside mission assignments to the curriculum and I believe it will
offer top-quality preparation to those who answer the call of God for missions
and who choose to attend Arlington Baptist College for their training.
Pray for Bro. Powers that the Lord will use him in a special way in this
new ministry.
Larry and Barbara
Koehn have arrived from Chile to begin their furlough.
Bro. Larry looks well and we thank the Lord that he is now recovered from
his illness. They will soon be
visiting their supporting churches. Mike
and Debbie Lane have arrived from Honduras for a six-month furlough. Pray for them as they begin their furlough ministry as well.
Judy Wood has arrived from
Brazil and Lanny will arrive the
first week of August for furlough. They will begin their furlough by celebrating their 50th
wedding anniversary on August 25, 2007.
Please continue to pray for baby Eliana
Densmore. She is making slow
but steady progress, although there will be a long period of treatments that she
will need as the doctors refine the diet and other care it will take for her.
We thank the Lord that she is in Denver, Colorado where one of the
world’s leading specialists in metabolic disorders is treating her.
Pray also for the following missionaries who are battling illness as they
continue in the work: Ernie
Brown, Debi Harris, Monnie
Bacon, Gloria Higgins, Charlene
Neill, Mary Gagnon, Joe
Hawkins, Sandy Janky, Doyle
Whaley, Wanda Whaley, Dana
McCutchen, Juanita Bowen, Amber
Cato.
Pray for the coming 2007
WBF Fall Meeting, October 15-17, 2007 at the Mt. Zion Baptist Church in
Jasper, Georgia. We are asking the
Lord to give us a wonderful meeting with excellent attendance, great fellowship,
a good Mission Store, and a Special Mission Offering that will meet or exceed
our goal of $50,000.
Thank you for your prayers and your faithful financial
support. Your investment in the
lives and ministry of our missionary families makes possible their ministry on
the field; and your prayers and financial support for the General Fund make
possible our ministry in service to the missionaries. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK
YOU
