As you are reading this, right now two pastors from our association are on their way to Kenya to train pastors, church planters, and missionaries. Joel Vancil (Pastor of Turkey Branch Baptist Church) and B.J. Horne (Pastor of Double Heads Baptist Church) will be gone for the next week teaching classes at the Freedom Baptist Mission. They will be teaching classes on Missions and Church History. Freedom Baptist Mission is a school designed to provide ministerial training to pastors, missionaries, and church planters serving Africa. While away, B.J. and Joel will not only be training these pastors, but will be preaching in local churches and doing outreach in the community.
Please pray for Pastors B.J. and Joel, that they would have safe, uneventful travels. Pray that the Lord will give them clarity and wisdom as they teach these pastors and church leaders. Pray that the Lord would empower them through His Spirit to communicate the truths of Scripture so that they would be a blessing to those to whom they minister. Above all pray that the Lord Jesus Christ will be exalted, not only on this trip, but for years to come it will have a lasting impact.
