Great Conference in Columbus

February 22, 2012 in FirstBible International, General, World Evangelism with 0 Comments

     What a joy and privilege to share the burden and ministry of FirstBible International with a group of people who are sincere in their desire to see the world reached with the gospel of Christ.

      Linda and I both had that opportunity this past weekend in Columbus, Georgia at Lighthouse Baptist Church.  Even after the services the folks stayed and asked more questions about the ministry.  Many wanted to know how they could adopt a people group for their church.

           There was one lady who was so touched by the example of a Wordless Bible for the Thadou Kuki people of India.  She said she felt ashamed to have so many Bibles in her home while others didn’t even have a verse of scripture in their mother tongue.

      I am so thankful for Linda who takes every opportunity to share the ministry with ladies and children.  She is by far my greatest asset to this great work.  

It was also a joy to share the meeting with my good friend, Bro. Tom McGuirt, who represents the International Board of Jewish Missions.  Bro. McGuirt did a wonderful job showing us why we should reach the Jewish people for the Lord.

Thanks again to the wonderful people who treated us with greatly for the glory of God.  Pastor Wynn has done an excellent job of leading them to not only love world evangelism enough to give but also to be willing to go as well.


 

FirstBible Conference Happenings Part I

March 1, 2010 in Bible Translation, Bibles4Muslims, FirstBible International with 1 Comment

100_9039eml Linda and I were privileged to be at Lighthouse Baptist Church in Columbus, Georgia for their Mid-Year Missions Conference.  This years theme is “Mission Earth 2010″.  Pastor Marty Wynn and his church have such a great heart for missions around the world.  It was exciting to preach each service and to see the response to the Word of God.

We also were able to present the work of FirstBible International with the church each night.  Linda and I enlisted the aid of all of the youth who were there to take a coin folder to fill with quarters.  Each folder holds $5 that will be sent to FirstBible for our “Bibles4Muslims” program.  Pastor Wynn announced during the meeting that this years VBS penny offering will go toward “Bibles4Muslims“.  What a great way to get young people involved in giving to missions.  One young teen told his mom after one of the services that he felt God wanted him to be a missionary.  Please pray that this young man will do what God wants for him.

100_9035eml100_9049eml We enjoyed great fellowship and great liberty in preaching. Please pray for Pastor Wynn and this church as they seek the Lord’s direction in partnering with FirstBible in one of the translation and printing projects.

They not only give to missions but they are also sending missionaries from their church like Andria Gardner with her husband Chris in Peru and Stephen Wynn to Brazil.
