December 2024 Update
The diversity of New York City never ceases to amaze me! Cali and I loved visiting with the Blooms and Canavans, church-planters who hosted a Youth for the Gospel event and are reaching people from a variety of cultural backgrounds. In addition to our trip to NYC, this fall, we enjoyed ministering in Georgia, Indiana, Maryland, and Ohio. Thank you for praying for our travels, and please pray specifically for more church-planters for New York City!
Psalm 15 was the theme of the “Vision School of Missions” (formerly Our Generation Training Center) student retreat. Each male student taught a portion of this Psalm, encouraging students and staff to live out their identity in Christ. We praise the Lord for the work He did in the lives of our students this past semester and for several more students joining us in the spring.
To facilitate the training of more missionaries and Christian leaders, we have launched an expansion of our Carey Center building. This project will enable us to train up to sixty students at a time! You can find out more about the project at careycenter.visionmissions.com. Please pray and consider giving a special offering or donation to help us with the needed funds.
At the Home Office of Vision Baptist Missions, we wrapped up our annual financial audit which is the first one that I have been responsible for overseeing. We praise the Lord for a clean audit and for the opportunity to be a part of helping missionaries go to the field and stay on the field. Last year, our small team of office staff and several volunteers processed over 34,000 gifts for our 103 missionaries!
Three new missionaries have been added to the Vision Baptist Missions team — Michael and Victoria Turner to West Africa and Noah Haught to South Africa! Please pray for them as they begin deputation, and pray for several of our missionaries who are home on furlough. To schedule a missionary, go to visionmissions.com/schedule or call 770-456-5881.
Thank you for your continued prayers and faithful support! We are so very grateful for each of you and would love the opportunity to update your church. If you would like to schedule a meeting or do a video call, let me know, and we will get a date on the calendar!
