Increased Faith!
“And the apostles said unto the Lord, Increase our faith.”
-Luke 17:5
This March, again, we asked God to increase our faith as we focused as a church on world missions. Last year our church made their first Faith Promise commitment of $120 per month, a commitment that we were able to keep. This enabled us to take on our first missionaries, whom we have now supported financially and prayerfully for one year. After 4 weeks of hearing messages about the heart, methods, and goals of missions, Iglesia Bautista La Verdad increased their faith by 100%. We were overwhelmed by this tremendous demonstration of faith, and we look forward to seeing the impact and fruit of this commitment. Thank you for YOUR commitment to us, and the opportunity to bear fruit to your account.
Leadership Lessons
Frequently we are asked, “What is the biggest problem you face?” The answer that always seems to come to mind is lack of male leadership. Because of this we planned and hosted our first annual “Faithful Men’s Conference.” We invited 9 other Independent Baptist churches from around the country. Dr. Pat Creed, our BIMI director, was our keynote speaker. Two other Dominican pastors also gave stirring messages about leadership, God’s calling, and faithfulness. We were so encouraged to see over 90 in attendance. Please pray for the future leaders of the Dominican that they would allow God to guide them!
Prayer Requests:
-Continued growth of church
(spiritual and numerical)
-Family Conference
(May 11-13)
