FEBRUARY 2015 PRAYER REQUESTS Dear Church and Friends, Sending Church Hope Baptist 6250 South Ave Toledo, Ohio 43615 419-867-9996 Support Address Word For The World P.O Box 849 Rossville, GA 30741-1849 706-866-8826 Contact Matt 419-367-1700 pastormatt@hopetoledo.org Thank you for your continued prayers and support. We have recently been in Oklahoma, Missouri, Michigan, and Illinois. The United States seems to be getting smaller as we travel through its winding roads and hills. Each day our faith is growing as the Lord continues to reveal Himself through provisions and circumstances. This February we have already heard back from several churches that have decided to take us on for support. What an answer to prayer this has been, but we still have a ways to go. That we would glorify God on our deputation. It has been wonderful to see so many independent Baptist Churches who have a vision for world missions. They are sacrificially giving by faith above and beyond their own power. It’s quite the experience to witness this up close and personal. We must remember to pray what our Lord has told us in Matthew 9:38... “That he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” There are seven billion souls in the world and a large percentage have never even heard the name Jesus. For safety on the roads. While in Oklahoma I had the opportunity to preach in a juvenile detention center. In the middle of the message I noticed one of the girls off to the left of me. Her whole countenance began to change as she became glued to the message. I could tell that the Holy Spirit was getting a hold of her heart. I made it clear that no matter what you have done, God offers grace and forgiveness at the cross. After the service she raised her hand to tell me she had just trusted Jesus Christ as her Saviour and got saved. Thank God for His wonderful grace! I also had the privilege to teach a Bible survey class to a small Christian school. I was so impressed with their enthusiasm and how well they listened. TRINIDAD & TOBAGO GAINED INDEPENDENCE FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM ON AUGUST 31, 1962 We are so pleased with how our calendar has filled up. We do however have just a few more openings that we would like to fill. It’s amazing to look back not too long ago and wonder how all this was going to work. “Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think” Ephesians 3:20. We are so excited to reach our finish line here, so we can start a new there. In Christ, “Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.” Mark 16:15 That we would book up our wed. night meetings and raise the support we need by the end of Sep. 2015. To see more souls come to know the Lord. For the Lord to bless Vickie, Skye, and Mateo and meet their needs for this year.
