“Mobilizing the Church Through Short-term Missions”
Our faithful friends,
Happy
belated Easter friends! I pray that your hearts were filled with
celebration as you worshipped a Risen Savior. This Easter was
very memorable. Matt had six different speaking occasions during the
week of Easter. One service was at Grace Bible Church in Greencastle
PA. Matt shared on how Christ was delivered
into the hands of a sovereign God, to deliver us as sinners, so in turn we
would share the message of deliverance with others. During Easter we
usually ask the question ‘are we saved’, but for the believers we need
to ask, ‘what
have we done for Jesus’. In dark days we need to take
advantage of every opportunity to redeem the time.
The last few
months of mission’s work have been so incredible. Matt has continued
teaching two evangelism classes each week and meeting with many pastors. Many of these pastors are struggling through various
different issues, namely discouragement. These godly men want
to see their sheep return back to the church and need someone to help shoulder
the burden of ministry. Matt has had the joy of loving these men as
they traverse some very difficult days. He also remains in transitional
leadership at Hagerstown Bible Church as they continue to seek for a new senior
pastor. We ask that you would keep praying that God would send a
pastor not only to this church, but for countless other churches who are
patiently waiting for the right man to arrive.
One of the
highlights of our month was traveling to Paw Paw Bible Church to
present the mission. Matt helped lead a team there in
2017. This small church has a big heart for
missions. They are deeply burdened to see others come to know
Christ. After church our family shared a
meal with the pastor’s family. It was a multiple hour lunch filled
with prayer, laughter, and encouragement. Earlier in March we
ministered at Hilltop Christian Fellowship in Clear Spring. This
church is also looking for a pastor. Fellow missionaries with CiM
will be serving as transitional leaders. Our CiM staff will help fill
their calendar with quality speaking and leadership along with leading a trip
to Kentucky in August.
Our
biggest praise has been your outpouring of support for the work in
Kentucky. We have received A
LOT of supplies and financial donations. We are planning
on traveling down April 22nd to drop off the first load. THANK
YOU SO MUCH for being the hands and feet of Jesus. Pray for
safety as we travel and that we would develop good Gospel connections in
Kentucky.
We also wanted to share with you some really EXCITING news. We are SO close to our support level in order to
start leading teams and drawing salary!!! In the last few weeks we have had two churches join us. God
has literally added nearly 20% since the start of the year! We would love to have you join our team as we climb
over the last few hurdles. Keep those prayers coming as our ministry
calendar remains full for the next few months. We will be sharing with
Genesis Fellowship, Hilltop Christian Fellowship, and prepping for an extremely
busy summer.
