March 2025 Update
Blaine and Holly Hooper are the newest VBM missionaries, on their way to South Africa. They are sent out of Whitfield Baptist in Dalton, Georgia. What a blessing to have a small part in their training and to see the Lord prepare them for this step! You can learn more about them at withallboldness.com or schedule them via (706) 851-4352.
The Hoopers bring the total number of VBM missionaries up to 104, who are in 24 different countries. Last year, this amazing team of missionaries distributed 740,460 gospel tracts, saw 1,475 professions of faith, baptized 466 believers, discipled 389 individuals, trained 22 pastors/leaders, and started 13 churches!
Thank you for praying for the Carey Center Academic Wing Project. The Lord provided the funds for us to complete the foundation repair and pour a new concrete slab! Please pray for the $191,000 we need to complete the project. This expansion will enable us to have classroom space to train up to sixty students at one time.

My good friend, James Wilson, who pastors the first church we started in Derry, Northern Ireland, is coming to America in June for a month to raise support. He has a vision to plant other churches in northwest Ireland, a very needy area of the world. If you would like him to present his work with the view to supporting him, reach out to him on jameswilson600@gmail.com.
