I’m getting ready to graduate from Gwinnett Hall Baptist Collage at the end of April. The Lord has shown me so much about His word in the past three years and I have so much that I must pass on just as II Timothy 2:2 says “And the things that thou hast heard of me among many witnesses, the same commit thou to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” One of the teachers who is the Dean at the school is Pastor Jack Lawson. This man of God has helped me in so many ways when it comes to understanding God’s Word and how to have application!
I hope to be in Mexico from the end of April and into May. this will be my survey trip to find out where I will be working the first year and as well what the best way may be to learn the Spanish language in a “correct” way! I hope to visit some ministries around Mexico City as well as Gererro. I’m still praying about where the Lord would have me to start His first church there in Mexico. Right now I am helping out at Emmanuel Baptist church (the Spanish church) that was started out of Calvary Baptist church in Smyrna, Ga.
The Pastor is Gary Ellison who was in Mexico for five years before the Lord called him and his family back here to minister to the Hispanic population that has grown so much! the Lord has really blessed and there are around fifteen people in the Bible Institute!
Four of the young men were able to preach back in December and what a blessing it was to see how far they have come! The one you see in the picture above is a guy that just has gone back to Mexico to help start a church in Gererro. My hope is to take some Institute courses on the side from there to better learn the Spanish language as I will be reading and learning about the Bible in Spanish. I have many brothers in Christ that are already doing their best to help me with the language but because of still being in school until the end of April I need to wait until that is out of the way to really pursue the language any deeper right now.
The Lord has allowed me to see a Missionary Prayer Meeting start about two years ago and we are now able to meet once a month with the young people from Calvary Baptist Church, and once a week with the Spanish young men from Emmanuel Baptist church in Smyrna! The name of this group is the “Prayer Stormers” and the main goal is to see our prayers make a difference in the lives of missionaries across the world and that they will have more boldness through the prayers that have been and will be said for them! If I can say it this way, we are holding the rope for those who have already gone down into the well! One man said “you should have marks from where you have been holding the rope! Amen! We hope to see this grow as I will be sharing this burden in churches while on deputation and maybe even some Christian schools. Thank each and everyone of you that have been praying for me as I have followed the Lord in the path that He has chosen for me. Please keep praying as the Lord continues to direct my steps. I hope to have a Website up and running here in the near future. Also, please be in prayer as I go for my interview with Macedonia world Baptist Missions on the 21st February.
God Bless!
