“And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”-Acts 2:21
This verse ends with the words “how shall they hear without a preacher?” Too many places throughout the world have no real Bible believing church to attend or preacher to hear God’s Word. The world cannot be led to Jesus without someone who is willing to dedicate their life to serving the Lord. The Ron Middleton Missions Outreach is completely dedicated to serving God through building churches, providing them with a pastor, and working to win souls. We give God the glory for the great things He has done!
One of the great things the Lord has done is to provide us the support to build “The Jeremy House” orphanage in the Congo. Bro. McCollough recently returned after a three week trip to the area where the home will be built. The first picture below is of the block going up. Not only was Bro. McCollough able to see the work being done on the building, but the work being done there for the Lord. In two of the villages there has been new churches established. These churches do not have buildings to meet in, even though they are running seventy or more in attendance. This month we were blessed to send support to help them begin the building process. We were also able to start support this month for two more Congo national pastors. During the three week visit 754 trusted Christ as their Savior.
This month we were also able to send extra support to Bro. Mark Holmes in Nigeria. Bro. Holmes is building a new auditorium for his work there. (Last picture below) What a blessing to see the things being done for the Lord! Bro. Todd Painter, in Thailand, recently hosted a group from a restricted access nation near their church. The group leader preached and students from the college sang during the service. The Outreach is honored to support the college each month. Bro. Jones, in South Africa, let us know he was able to finally register his church and rent a building. They are now planning a big opening day service. As Pastor Marvin Juno, from the Philippines put it, “There is a double time needed for the work of the Lord being entrusted to the Church.” We all need to be busy for the Lord!
Please be in prayer for all those we support. There are needs in every ministry and we are working hard to help them get each church established. On Easter Sunday, I was honored to visit Victory In Grace Baptist Church, in Craig, Colorado. There were five who came forward for salvation that day! What a blessing it was to see the old bank building turned into a thriving work for the Lord! The devil fought hard to stop the church, but to God be the Glory it is going forward for Him. Pastor James Williams is working hard to see souls saved and continue to grow the church (pictured below).
My prayer is that the Lord will continue to use the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach. I pray He continues to send men who are willing to give their all to serve Him and to be used in a great and mighty way. I pray He sends men who have a desire to see the “whosoever’s” come forward to call on the Lord and be saved from that awful place called Hell.
I ask you continue to support us in anyway you can, be it financial or through prayer as we need both to continue to do this work for the Lord.
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“Delight thyself also in the Lord; And he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.” Psalms 37:4
I can truly say the desire of my heart, and the hearts of those who support the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach, is to see souls saved for Christ. We have diligently worked together to see over 4,000,000 souls saved. God’s grace and goodness is abundant and serving Him is truly a delight. We are so honored to be used by God in such a mighty way.
Last month we told you about the Jeremy House Orphanage we are building in the Congo. This month we have sent $10,000 to purchase the block and concrete mix to begin the building process. What a blessing the Jeremy House will be to the 28 children who will be housed there. These children have never slept on a mattress, so their own bed will be amazing to them. Because they have no parents, the Outreach will be supporting the home monthly to pay for their food, clothing, school, and medical needs. Most importantly the children will be given the Gospel and taught the Bible.
Please pray for Bro. Aaron McCullough who will be traveling to the Congo to oversee the building of the orphanage. We are also supporting pastor’s there (pictured below). Getting updates from these men and all of our foreign pastors means so much. The soulwinning teams we support in Nigeria, go out six hours every week to pass out tracts to hundreds of people. Just this month they saw “55 SOULS who has professed Christ as their Savior”. They are so excited to know people will go to Heaven because they are faithful in their efforts and the Lord is blessing. From Africa to Thailand and beyond we are working diligently to reach the world for Christ.
I personally was excited to visit some of our American church plants. The Lord has blessed me and my wife with the
opportunity to travel to many of them this year and I look forward to sharing the churches with you. We made a trip this month to Chesapeake, VA to visit with Pastor Ben Nettesheim. We also helped his brother, Jonathan, who was our very first church plant. The trip was such a success. Pictured below is Bro. Ben with two sisters who got saved on the Sunday I preached. Also, pictured is a couple who followed the Lord in Baptism at our church plant in Jasper, IN. Bro. James Young is doing a great job there and the church continues to grow. We enjoyed our visit with them.
We also received an update from the Mercy Mt. Girls Academy here in Asheboro, NC. Mrs. Lori and the girls were thrilled with the year they have had and the accomplishments of the girls there. They are praying to be able to expand the home so other girls will have the opportunity to come there and receive the help they so desperately need in their lives. Pictured below is the great big “Thank You” they are sending out to all who support their ministry.
For many years I have delighted myself in the work of the Lord. He is a faithful and just God who has surely given me the desire of my heart. This ministry is such a blessing to me personally and I pray it is to you also. Please keep us in your prayers and if you are not supporting us currently, I pray you will consider doing so.
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“Faithful is he that calleth you, who also will do it.” I Thessalonians 5:24
So thankful for the faithfulness of the Lord! He has been so good to the Outreach and all we support. The new year has begun and we have hit the ground running with new church plants all over the world! We are so amazed to hear what God is doing in each of the churches we have helped to get established. Most importantly we are pleased with the faithfulness of the men we support in working hard to see souls saved. The goal of the Outreach is to see as many souls saved as possible!
We are very excited to announce plans to build an orphanage in the African Congo! The Jeremy Home will house at least 20 orphans. The name of the orphanage comes as a way to honor Bro. Jeremy Middleton. Jeremy has been such a blessing to the Outreach. His father, Bro. Ron Middleton, would be so excited to know his legacy of dedication to the work of God and seeing souls saved, lives on through his son.
Through Bro. Aaron McCullough we have not only made plans for the orphanage, but have taken on 9 national pastors. The Congo is a beautiful place, but the beauty is tainted by the lost souls who need the Lord. Bro. McCullough’s faithfulness in reaching the lost is amazing. The trips into the Congo are very dangerous, but God has laid it on his heart to go. We are so thankful he does.
Not only did we take on support of the pastors in the Congo, but we also took on a new pastor in Kenya. Pastor Timothy Nasae held his first service at the Oloshaiki Baptist Church (pictured below). There were 120 in attendance! He was pleased to have 80 adults and 40 children attend. Bro. Todd Painter in Thailand held Children’s Day recently. He was excited to have 65 adults and 85 children attend. Bro. Robert Jones moved into his new home in South Africa and immediately began to go soulwinning. He has seen 320 saved this month. The faithfulness to God by these men is what allows God to bless their churches.
Here in America we have also taken on new church plants for support. Bro. Kerby Campbell of Hutto, Texas and Bro. Richie Hinson who will be working with the Rock of Ages Prison Ministry. Though Bro. Hinson will not pastor a church, he will be a pastor to those who are incarcerated. We try our best to realize everyone needs the Lord. Please keep both Pastors and their works in your prayers.
I was very honored to visit this month with Pastor Sam Carns (pictures below) at the Gospel Light Baptist Church in Carrollton, GA. We had a great meeting with several saved during the services. The Outreach was able to send the church $5,000 to help with the construction of adding a modular to their current building due to church growth.
God faithfully calls us to serve Him and through the prayers and support of so many, the Outreach has seen churches planted, lives changed, and most importantly souls saved. We can truly say, without a shadow of doubt, God is good!
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.” Luke 1:30-31
What a blessing to celebrate the gift of Jesus! We are so thankful He did not stay a baby. He grew into a man and was crucified to take away the sins of this old wicked world. The baby born that day, the wonderful Jesus, came to seek and to save the lost. Without Jesus all we do would be in vain. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus, there is just something wonderful and magnificent about that name. That’s the name we lift up and spread all over the world!
We are so honored to work with the Pastors we support. The stories of how they spread the Gospel everyday are a true blessing. Bro. Todd Painter in Thailand held a Christmas program this month. When the time came for the program he had 316 in attendance. He reported that of those there, “80 hands testified that they trusted Christ”. God is so good!
Bro. Ransom in Nigeria is celebrating his two year anniversary. He was excited to tell how his church has grown to an average of 35 people who attend regularly. He was so thankful for the support he receives. With it he was able to purchase a church sign, more chairs and four more fans! Bro. Victor Acka, of the Vande Baptist Church in Nigeria, wrote “We are very, very grateful and indebted to you which only God can be able to pay you back.” With the support he is able to pay the utilities and a host of other needs are met. We were able to take on several more new men for support in Nigeria and Thailand this month.
We were also thrilled to hear this month from Pastor Thompsons and the children’s home in Nigeria (pictured below). His family and all the children at the home are doing well. The children were excited for Christmas. They each received 2 new outfits and 2 new pairs of shoes. The children are doing great in their studies, but they do ask you pray for the home to have the means to pay school fees, the orphanage rent, and money to help with staff.
Our American plants are going well also. We have begun support to Bro. Ben Nettesheim in Chesapeake, VA. His brother, Jonathan, was one of the first men taken on for support. His church now sends support every month to the Outreach. Pastor Dan Bottrell in Kentucky asks for prayers they find a new building for services and also they get the funds to purchase new chairs. Bro. Spann, at the Genesis Baptist Church in Wilburton, OK, was excited to report they finally have heat. The heater needed servicing after the gas lines were finally installed and by God’s grace, once it was cleaned really good, his system fired right up! All of the churches we help to plant have needs, but especially the need of prayer. Bro. Jeff Walters in Texas is doing a great work and seeing souls saved but it is a very dangerous area in the inner city with gangs and violence. We have also started to support Bro. Aaron McCullough in New Jersey. He plants churches in the Congo. He holds survival camps for Missionaries who will be going to Peru to help them know what to expect as they go to start churches there.
The Outreach is also blessed to support the Mercy Mountain Girls Home (pictured below). It is wonderful to get the reports telling of the girls graduating and going on to Bible college. We were thrilled the home was able to complete the staff house and schoolhouse, added new staff, and paved the driveway. They are praying to be able to add on so that even more young ladies can be reached for the Lord.
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.” Acts 4:12
There is no other name as sweet as the name of Jesus. What a wonderful honor to go out into the world and declare “Jesus Saves”. We are so thankful for the opportunities the Lord has provided the Outreach throughout this year to spread the Gospel to this lost and dying world.
Thank you so much to all who prayed for our Tent Revival in San Antonio this month. (pictured) What a miracle to see God move! It was a week of preaching, handing out Bibles (pictured), and spreading the Gospel. God blessed our efforts and we were so honored to be a part of it. We had 50 saved during the Bible hand out alone. For the week there were 95 saved and 4 of those got baptized in a portable tank. (pictured) We appreciate Pastor Manly Perry, of the Old Paths Baptist Church, having us come. It was a long journey out to Texas and we greatly appreciate the safety God provided myself, my wife, and the Brown Family
The Outreach has certainly been busy this month, as always. We have been honored to take on three new men in Nigeria and six new Pastors in Mexico. Bro. Stephen Simmons and his wife visited our sending church, West Park Baptist Church, in Rockwell, NC this past month. We are honored to take part in helping them start their ministry. We will also be taking on three more men next month. It is a busy time, but well worth it. We have now helped plant churches in 20 states and 22 countries.
We have gotten many reports from the ministries we support. Bro. Todd Painter, in Thailand, shared his excitement at teaching in a jungle area to a class of forty-eight. He was even more excited that fifteen of those came for the first time and got saved! The name of Jesus still carries power, we just need to share it. In Nigeria we have begun to support the “Special Soulwinning Team”. These men go out six hours a week and spread the Gospel. They witness to those who are often overlooked, such as those outside of sketchy establishments and Muslims in the area. Last month they passed out hundred’s of tracts and saw twenty-eight get saved. They are so thankful “for the sacrifice you’ve been making to see the lost saved” by supporting the Outreach.
Bro. Rick Martin, in the Philippines, sent testimonies for us to read this month. They were from several people who had accepted Jesus through hearing the Gospel on visitation. One young man was a criminal. He told of his family and friends who all hated him for the choices he had made in his life. He felt as though no one could love him. But, when the Gospel was shared with him he said, “At that moment I realized I am a sinner, but God is merciful.” He knew God loved him and he could be different. He started attending church and little by little he is becoming a new man, “I thanked God that it is not too late for anybody to change one’s life even if it happens slowly.” Another young man who shared his story was an Atheist. When he and his friends heard the name of Jesus, there lives were changed. His response on being saved would help a lot of young men in church today, “We go to church not because of pretty girls, but to know more about God. Because we want to know the reason and purpose of our lives.”
Jesus...there is just something about that name!
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world.” (I John 4:14)
What a blessing to be part of this ministry. We are going out and testifying to all who will listen about what God has done. He sent His precious Son, Jesus, to save them. There is nothing more important to spread to all the world then Jesus saves.
We appreciate all your prayers and support. God continues to bless. We were able to purchase a truck for the tent ministry this month. (pictured) God led us to purchase exactly what we needed to pull the trailer. Bro. Jonathan’s truck was not made to pull that much weight and we have been praying for the funds and the right one to come along. God answered above and beyond. We are going to be in San Antonio, Texas next week to hold a tent meeting. (November 15-19). Pray specifically for souls to be saved.
We are also excited to welcome some new Pastors we are helping to get started, Pastor Todd Herbert in Arkansas, Pastor Sam Carns in Georgia, and Bro. Jacob Berry in Maine. We are excited to see the new addition to Bro. Carns building (pictured) and to hear about the remodel of Brother Berry’s facilities. We ask you keep the Liberty Baptist Church (Pastor Stephen Dice) in your prayers as they hope to start a new van route to pick up the local children for church. There are many needs that must be met for any bus ministry. The transportation, the space to meet, and insurance needs. It is a big endeavor, but one that God will certainly be pleased with.
There are so many reports to read and choose information from each month. Each report is a special blessing. Pastor Villanueva in the Philippines holds a food ministry to help with the community needs. One mother recently told him, “I really thank God for this ministry. I love watching my kids learn about the Bible and also the other kids know the Lord.” By supporting these men of God we are also supporting their communities and helping to lead them to Jesus.
One of the churches we helped to plant in Nigeria will celebrate their second year next month! Pastor Ransom is praying for electrical ceiling fans for the church (which seems a funny request for December). Please pray for Bro. Ghimire and his wife who are expecting their baby this month. They are hoping to be in Nepal early in the new year. We were also honored to take on Bro. Stephen & Wendy Simmons this month. They will be going to Mexico City. The times are very busy, but spreading the Gospel in these perilous times is an urgent need. We thank you for your continued prayers and support as we work diligently to do as the Lord has commanded.
Thanksgiving will be here soon and we could not let it pass with out sharing how truly thankful we are. God’s blessings have been abundant this year and we cannot express enough how great He is. We are honored to be a vessel He uses to testify of His precious Son being the Saviour all over the world.
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” –2 Corinthians 9:6
We are definitely finding this verse to be true! We are planting churches and bountifully reaping the souls of men. God is so good! Our tent meeting in Green Spring, WV was a huge success. God used the Ministry to see 21 souls come to trust Christ. One of the men saved actually owns an old church building in town. With God’s leading we hope to plant a new church there in the near future.
We are very pleased to welcome our newest church plants. We have begun to support Pastor TJ Howell, of the Lighthouse Baptist Church in Hickman, Nebraska. Pastor Trey Washburn, of the Gun Barrell Baptist Church, in Gun Barrell, Texas, and Pastor Luke Deschamp who is starting the Old Paths Baptist Church in Chandler, Arizonia. The Outreach has helped to plant churches in 23 states! Our goal is to plant as many as possible, but at least one in every state. With your continued support and prayers we can definitely reach our goal.
Our foreign church plants are growing as well. We have started support to several works in Thailand. We look forward to the future reports. Bro. Painter and his family are having great success in their new church plant. Attendance has grown to as many as 39. There are Tai, Burmese, Karen, and even Chinese people attending. How amazing to think the Outreach has a part in helping so many nationalities come to know Christ. We are honored to be a small part in Bro. Painter’s ministry.
Bro. Holmes sent reports this month from several of our church plants in Nigeria. God is really working in that area. For the 17th anniversary service at his church there were 300 in attendance. Please pray for them as they have many projects in the works, including plans for a new auditorium. Pastor Finjite, in Nigeria, also had a big anniversary day. There were over 100 visitors and 47 got saved! His church has many needs and he requests prayers for all supplies and work to be provided. Pastor Uzi in YIBC Bayelsa, Nigeria, requests prayer for progress in the prison ministry his church has started in his area. He also sent a special thank you to the Outreach for our support. What a blessing to hear from these men and their families about the harvest they are reaping through their service for the Lord!
We also have an update from the Mercy Mt. Girls Home. They were thrilled to report that five young ladies accepted the Lord as Savior! Mrs. Lori was correct when she said, “There is no better news than that”. There are still a few projects to be completed at the home, but the Lord blessed by sending a young full-time for the ministry and two part-time ladies. The home still receives 3-5 calls each week to help more young ladies.
Please continue to keep the girls and Mrs. Lori in your prayers.
Lastly, I would ask you pray for our next tent meeting. It will be November 15-19, in San Antonio, TX. I will join the Brown family there for the week. Pray we see souls saved and lives changed.
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." – John 14:6
Another month has passed and God continues to bless! We are seeing more and more souls saved. As this world becomes more and more wicked, people are truly coming to see there is no way to the Father but through His wonderful Son, Jesus Christ. We at the Outreach are so honored to have a part in helping lost souls see their need of the Savior. We have started support to help plant two more churches in India and have taken on support of three new pastors here in America this month. It is amazing to see what God is doing through the Outreach!
We are very excited about the church plant in Wilburton, Oklahoma. Pastor Mason Weber was able to hold his first service in the newly remodeled building. The town was so excited the grand opening made the local paper. On
August 27th, Genesis Baptist Church held their building dedication. They were thrilled to have 65 in attendance on their big day. The newspaper report stated the building had sat empty for some twenty years and “now has some new life breathed into it”. We pray God continues to “breathe” on the services and hundreds are saved through the ministry.
We were pleased to read the report from Bro. Painter of a young man named Se Naan. He got saved on our trip to Thailand last month. Bro. Reddick witnessed to him and he accepted Christ. Since then he has been faithfully attending and has even followed the Lord in Baptism. We are so thankful Bro. Painter is in his new building and has been seeing up to thirty-two in attendance. He is in a hard area to witness and grow. The people have never heard the Gospel before and are afraid of retaliation by Muslims if they get saved or attend the church. Keep the people of Thailand and the other countries we support in your prayers.
Please continue to be in prayer for Mrs. Becky Martin. She and Bro. Martin are finally back in the Philippines together. She is happy to be back but tires easily. God blessed and she was able to find the organic foods she needs to maintain her diet for the next five months as part of her cancer treatment. She and her family greatly appreciate the prayers on her behalf.
As an update, we will hold the Green Springs Tent Revival in West Virginia, throughout the week of September 11th. Please pray for souls to be saved and for good weather. Good weather is a blessing during a tent revival. Thank you all for your continued prayers and support. We could not do what we do without you!
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“For even the Son of man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.” Mark 10:45
What an amazing time I had in Thailand! I enjoyed the visit with Bro. Painter and his family so much. Through an interpreter I was able to preach to the people. Those who attended were hungry for the Word of God. Most of them were Buddhists and had never heard anything from the Bible. Taking them from the beginning of creation to Jesus dying on the cross took awhile, but we were blessed to see 23 souls saved for the week. I was very honored to be apart of the first service in Bro. Painter’s new building. He thought there would at least be 15 who came, but we were blessed with 36. God is so good! I want to give a shout out to Miss Deborah Painter for all of her help in interpreting during the soulwinning and other activities. What a blessing she is. Miss Deborah has picked up the language very quickly and is using the ability to help win adults and children alike. God is using the Painter’s ministry in a mighty way.
We are so excited our Craig, Colorado plant has a building! Through the blessings of God they were able to purchase an old bank building. Bro. Jonathan Brown is there now helping to assess the remodel. Pray for them. Because it is a bank there is a huge vault that will need to be removed or designed around. Our church plant in Oklahoma has also being remodeling their building. They were in need of $22,000 to finish everything. God supplied the need and every penny was provided! They are hoping to start services on September 1st.
There are so many things happening within the Outreach and the churches we support. Over four million souls have been saved through the Pastors we have invested in. They are all dedicated to winning souls and preaching the Gospel even though the areas they are serving in are not always the best. Bro. Walters is in the gang district of Dallas. Going out on visitation puts them in danger, but he continues to serve by trying to reach the lost. What better way to clean up the world than through salvation. As the great Evangelist Lester Roloff once said, “If you want to save America, get America saved.” I think this not only applies to America, but to the world.
Please continue to be in prayer for the orphanages, the Mercy Mountain Academy, all of our pastors, and our missionaries. We could never do what God would have us do without your support and prayers. We are so thankful for you all.
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan
“Declare his glory among the heathen, his wonders among all people.” Psalms 96:3
Our first week of the Tent Ministry in Beach Park, IL, was a huge success! We had 155 in attendance on our highest night. More importantly we had 55 souls come to know the Lord! We spent every day passing out Bibles and witnessing. Please continue to be in prayer for this part of the Ministry and the Brown Family as they travel the country. It will be a huge blessing in helping new church plants reach people, grow their church and be a great tool to use for seeing more souls come to know Jesus as their Savior.
Our American Church plants continue to work diligently to “declare His glory”. We are so honored to be a small part in helping these Pastors get the work God has called them to do started. Bro. Sam Carns in Carrollton, GA, hosted Pastor Mike Wells for a one night meeting. He couldn’t wait to share the results, “The Lord blessed on that rainy evening giving us sixty-nine in attendance, including thirteen guest preachers. It was a great night for a new church!” Bro. Andrew Merritt, in the Capital District of New York, has started an Assisted Living Ministry. After singing for them and preaching a short message to the seniors there, they were thrilled to have a 99 year old resident receive Christ. He is turning 100 this month and was so excited he now knew he would one day be in Heaven. How amazing to see your prayers and support at work!
It was also a huge blessing to hear from the Mercy Mountain Academy this month. The new staff house has been finished and Mrs. Simpson will be able to move in very soon! The Academy was able to hold it’s very first graduation ceremony. We congratulate the two young ladies who graduated. Both have made decisions to continue their education at Bible colleges. God is truly using Mrs. Lori and the home to make a difference in the lives of the young ladies who live there. We are so pleased to hear the two graduates are choosing to continue to follow the Lord. Please keep them and the other girls in your prayers.
Lastly, we are honored to take on 5 more pastors in Nigeria! We welcome them to our RMMO family and look forward to hearing how God is using them. Please keep me in your prayers as I will be traveling to Thailand next month to be with Bro. Painter. I look forward to sharing my trip with you in next month’s letter.
Once again, we thank you for your continued support!
“But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.” -Acts 1:8
It has certainly been a busy month. We are pleased to welcome our newest field representatives, Bro. Bill and Deanna Breedlove. We are also excited about our newest church plant in Waterville, ME. Bro. Jacob Berry and his wife, Rachel, are headed there to start the church in June. I look forward to getting the updates on how the Lord is using them to reach that community.
I was very excited to visit with Pastor Jonathan Netteshiem and his family (pictured) in Elizabeth City, North Carolina. Bro. Jonathan held Friends Day at his church and I was honored to preach in his pulpit. We had 17 saved that day!
Recently I received an update from our new pastor at the Victory in Grace Baptist Church in Craig, Co. Pastor James Williams was thrilled to tell about seeing his first soul saved since taking the church. A 95 year old woman accepted the Lord when Bro. Williams shared the Gospel with her. She showed him the picture and told of killing the elk behind her on the wall at the young age of 93! What a blessing to hear the stories from each of our Pastor’s.
This month the Outreach was able to help the college we support in Southeast Asia by paying for the new roof you see in the picture. We are so thankful to Bro. Painter, in Thailand, for sending us pictures and updates when they are available.
Our church plant in Nigeria with Bro. Uzi Biye, sent a thank you this month for his support. He let us know his church had 75 saved during visitation and church services. He also held a school blitz. There were 175 children saved! What a huge blessing to be a part of seeing those Nigerian children accept the Lord as their Savior! All of our Pastor’s in the foreign field are doing a wonderful job. Please keep them and myself in your prayers as I travel to Mexico this month to be with Bro. Kevin Wynne. I look forward to updating you on my trip.
The Baptist Heritage Children’s Home in Nigeria, sent word they were in need of bunkbeds for the children. We were more than happy to help out! The new bunkbeds and mattresses for the 10 children who now live with the Thompsons, were purchased this month. The children were so excited. We are truly honored to help with their needs. We could never do it without the support of those who are so faithful to send each month.
Once again, we thank you for your continued support! Without those who faithfully give and pray for the Outreach, we could never do what we do. In just three years God has used our team to reach millions with the Gospel. We are so thankful for each of you.
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” I Corinthians 15:58
We are so pleased to continue to receive updates from our Pastors about their labor for the Lord. Bro. Terry Boyd, in North Myrtle Beach, SC, is rejoicing he was able to move his church from his livingroom to a conference room at the Holiday Inn. The cost was a fraction of the asking price for the store fronts in his area. He continues to visit and spread the Gospel as he gets prepared for the grand opening! Bro. Stephen Dice, in Illinois, is very encouraged by the growth of his Sunday School attendance; “It is encouraging to see faithful people who are eager to learn more about God and His Word”. Please pray with him the mid-week service will see an increase as well. There are so many exciting things going on in our American church plants. We are still working on finding buildings and pastors. Please pray the Lord will continue to use us, not only in the 20 American church plants we support, but in building and growing more across America and the world.
We also receive many reports from our overseas Pastors. Bro. Holmes sent an update regarding the City of Refuge Ministry in Nigeria. Those who escape their villages because they have become Christians are offered a safe place to live and learn about the Lord without fear of death or retribution. Most are of the Fulani people. These people are the hardest to reach. They are adamantly against the Gospel. But praise the Lord, He can work in the hardest of hearts. On a four day missions trip to a Fulani village, 77 came to know Christ, 1 young man joined the Bible College with another 2 young men and a young lady planning to come join soon. Pray for these people and their village. They have no access to medical care, education or clean water. We also ask you pray for Bro. Bhim Gumire, going to Nepal and Bro. Daniel Gonzalez, going to El Salvador. Both men are still in the states gathering support and hope to be where God has called them as soon as possible. What an amazing journey these men are on to spread the Gospel to see souls saved. From the four new church plants in Nigeria to our new plants in Mexico and the countries in between, we support men who are dedicating their lives and labor to the Lord.
We were also blessed to receive word from the Baptist Heritage Children’s Home. Despite security concerns, robbery, and kidnappings nearby, they are all safe and doing well. We were pleased to hear two of the young girls, Bright & Happiness, were nominated to participate on their school career team. Both were commended by the school on their excellent performance. The orphanage was also inspected recently also by a group of Social Welfare officers. We praise the Lord their report was good and they will continue to provide a home for those children in need. God is using this orphanage to change the lives of the children who live there. The labor of Pastor and Mrs. Thompsons is definitely not in vain! Please keep them all in your prayers.
“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” 1 Corinthians 15:58
Another year has begun and we at the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach are as determined as ever to be unmovable in spreading the Gospel and seeing folks saved! God has blessed the ministry beyond measure and we are extremely thankful for the opportunities He has presented.
Bro. Jonathan and I recently spent time at our church plant in Wilburton, OK helping them to remodel their building. Pastor Mason Weber recently took over the church and pitched in to get the job done. We look forward to what God has for Bro. Weber and the church. We were also able to help the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Missouri build a baptistry. Bro. Jonathan and his family drove out from here in North Carolina and have done an amazing job helping to get it installed and framed out. It looks great and we pray it will be filled continuously with new converts!
Please continue to pray for our foreign church plants. Bro. Todd Painter and his family have been back in Thailand, but the devil is fighting him at every turn. In his recent prayer letter Bro. Painter reported, “The first 16 days of December were some of the most difficult days my wife and I have probably ever gone through as far as outside attacks and fears inside of ourselves. We did lose our current Visa though and had to leave the country to a nearby country and apply for a new Visa. We are glad to be back serving again! We went to a nearby restricted access country where I have been along with Bro. Craig Bryan and the RMMO ministry in Rockwell, NC helping some national pastors.” The difficulties did not slow them down at all! They were able to still see souls saved and pass out food to over thirty homes in the villages for Christmas. We are so honored to be a help to their ministry.
Bro. Martin in the Philippines let us know about the success of their annual Christmas musical. There were over 1300 in attendance the first two days. His people have also had much success in their soulwinning program. They have seen Muslims, Roman Catholics and even a Jehovah’s witness come to know Christ. The Truth Baptist Church, in Nigeria, hosted Camp for Friends of the Deaf. Over 120 Nigerian deaf gathered together. There were dozens saved and 13 baptized. What a blessing to get the reports from all of our Missionaries. Their ministries are such a blessing.
We have also been able to help out with the new school house at the Mercy Mountain Academy. Mrs. Lori reports the building is complete and thanks everyone for the support which has helped to make it possible. The new staff house is 45% completed. Please pray for the rest of the work to be done quickly and for a new lady who would be willing to help in the ministry.
Once again, we thank you for your continued support!
For this month’s letter, we at the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach want to take the opportunity to thank you all for your support and prayers. The Outreach continues to grow through the generosity of God’s people.
Thanks to your support we have helped to start 21 churches in America over the past two years! What a blessing to see these churches grow. From here in NC, all the way to Anchorage, Alaska souls are being reached for the Lord. Each Pastor supported has to have a desire to spread the Gospel through personal soulwinning and visitation. Leading people to Christ should be their main goal, along with building a church to disciple them and help them grow in their walk with God.
We have not only started churches in America, but have had the honor to help plant 92 foreign churches. Several have been started in Communist areas and cannot be mentioned in any media sent out or presented for their own safety. Without those willing to sacrifice many souls would be lost to an eternity in Hell. We are so thankful God is using us to help them receive the Gospel!
In addition to the foreign orphanages we have helped, we also now support the Mercy Mountain Girls Academy in North Carolina. What a blessing it has been to help them renovate their property and prepare it for more girls to be taken in. Please pray Mrs. Lori and those leading the orphanages will continue to guide the girls toward the Lord and change their lives forever. Children are the future of every church. “But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14
Through the generosity of others, the last few years we have not only started 122 churches world wide, but we helped to build a college in Nigeria, put a roof over a church in Thailand, built chicken coops and a fish pond in Burma for the orphanage, remodeled church buildings, renovated areas for the girls home, started a tent ministry, and the list goes on and on. To God be all the glory!
In the New Year, please continue to pray for the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach. If you do not support us, prayerfully consider doing so. Help us reach our goal of seeing millions more come to Christ. Help us to reach more foreign lands, help more orphanages, support more colleges, and serve the Lord even stronger than we have the past three years.
Once again, we thank you! We pray you have a Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!
In Christ;
Bro. Craig Bryan

"Oh that men would praise the LORD for his goodness, and for his wonderful works to the children of men!" Psalm 107:8
We are growing again! We welcome Bro. Matthew Huntington to our team. Bro. Huntington will be helping to get our newest plants started in any way he is needed. He is a blessing and we are excited to support him. We are also excited to have helped in the start of 15 churches in America so far and will be adding more next month!
Bro. Merritt, in New York, reported the opening of the Upstate Baptist Church on October 16th. They canvased their area with invitations and we will be excited to receive his next report to hear about the big day. Bro. Whitehouse, in Virginia, let us know his church is growing. He was blessed with 16 new visitors! Please pray the new visitors will become new members. Bro. Young, in Jasper, Indiana, is planning the first anniversary for the Living Hope Baptist Church! He and his wife are doing a great work there. Last month they had a contest to see which of two teams could pass out the most Gospel tracts. Together the 21 members passed out 1730 tracts. The way to grow the church is through visitation and soulwinning. Mrs. Young and her soulwinning partner are knocking on over 100 doors a week! What a blessing to see them all working together to build the church!
National Pastors & Team News
We were excited to get pictures of the new roof we helped to provide. The Outreach was able to give 90% of the funding for the new roof of the ministry which is located in a restricted access area in South East Asia!
Bro. Painter and his family are very busy in Thailand since their return. Pray for them as they are looking for a building to rent for their Foundation office. They will eventually start a church there. During travel to Chiang Mai for some paper work, Bro. Painter’s daughter gave a tract to the hotel manager. The next day he approached to tell them he had read the tract and asked Christ to save him! They were able to give him a bible and the next day he let them know he had posted on Facebook about receiving his new Bible!
We are excited to have also added Bro. Garry Way to our team. He and his wife work to provide for those in Israel. His desire is to raise the awareness to all Christians of the spiritual and physical needs of the people of Israel.
Please continue to pray for all of our foreign Pastors. Those in Nigeria, Philippines, Kenya, El Salvador, Thailand and Mexico all have needs. Each report comes with individual and church needs. The things we take for granted here in America can be a luxury to them.
Orphanage Update
It’s back to school time for the Baptist Heritage Children’s Home in Africa! There are now 10 children at the home. Two young girls, Happiness and Bright are also supported. The Home provides clothing and supplies along with all the necessary fees for all 12 children.
Their latest addition, Andrew, does not hear English and they do not understand his dialect because he is from Southern Kaduna. They are praying for a special teacher to help him with his teaching and for help with all of the fees. Please keep them in your prayers. Starting a new school year is always tough!
Tent Ministry Update
"O taste and see that the LORD is good: blessed is the man that trusteth in him." Psalm 34:8
We have a meeting scheduled! How exciting to see this ministry moving forward. We still have several things to buy before everything is completely ready to go, but God has been faithful to provide so far and we will continue to trust Him for the remaining needs! To the left is a photo of our trailer that will be a huge help in the tent ministry.

“Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” I Corinthians 15:58
We are growing again! We are honored to have Bro. Monte Watts, Jr. join our team. Bro. Watts is an Evangelist here in the states. He is based out of Indiana. We have also taken on Bro. Matthew Huntington, from West Virginia, who will be helping with each of our church plants as they get up and started. He is currently in Craig, CO assisting with their needs. Bro. Brown and Bro. Fann will also be going out to help with construction needed for the building they were able to purchase. Bro. Garry Way and his wife Jullia have also joined our team this month. They work to help the churches in Israel by providing Bibles, needed equipment and help with church planting. With plans in the works to add several more church plants this month, reports of church growth in the churches already started, and the many souls being saved, it is an exciting time to a part of the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach!

We are thankful Bro. Mark Holmes and his family made it safely back to Nigeria. The Outreach was able to help him meet his goal to finish the roof on the new college dorms! What a blessing to be a part of seeing young men trained to go out and plant churches and reach others for the Lord in Nigeria and the surrounding area.
Please continue to be in prayer for Bro. Rick Martin and his wife Becky as she continues to receive cancer treatments. Bro. Martin is traveling back and forth from the Philippines to the states. He greatly appreciates the prayers for his wife and for his safety. In his report this month, Bro. Martin does ask for prayers for a young pastor who graduated from their college. Pastor Reynald Linsayan’s church and parsonage were burned down by Communist rebels. He had been a member of this group before getting saved. They are angry he left the group. He says he is not afraid of them, but Bro. Martin would still appreciate the prayers for this young Man of God.
Bro. Todd Painter has plans to return to Thailand on September 8th. He will keep up with his health through a clinic in the city they live in there in Thailand, but also keep contact with his doctors in the States. He was very encouraged by the update from Bro. Pron who works for him at the church in Thailand. Bro. Pron asked to borrow his truck to take his Aunt to see her son in the Hospital. (pictured) Bro. Pron was able to present the Gospel to both of them and they accepted Christ as their Saviour. Please pray for them as her son is sick with Malaria and Dengue Fever. (Naw Ka Nee and her son Saw Dah) Bro. Painter reported in his letter; “I am very happy with the burden for souls that has been demonstrated by my helpers in Thailand. God is really using them.” What a blessing to see them carry on the Great Commission by themselves while Bro. Painter has been in the States.
The Outreach is not only growing in the States, but in all other areas too. We have begun to support five new men in Mexico, two new men in the Thailand region, and three new men in the Philippines. God is working for sure. Once again, it truly is an exciting time to be a part of the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach!
Tent Ministry & Girls Home Update
The tent is on the way! We praise the Lord it is finally finished and soon to be delivered. There are still many needs to be met for the ministry, but having the tent is one step closer to starting. The trailer is also here and being prepared for use. God has provided so much and we know He will continue to do so. Please pray for us as we begin this next phase in the ministry.
We have been blessed to be a part of the remodel of the Mercy Mountain Girls Academy in Asheboro, NC. The electrician has been working there this month, new doors have been purchased and many other plans are in the works. Mrs. Lorie is laboring hard to finish all of the needed renovations. Adding to the home will give her the ability to bring in more girls who need help and guidance. We are honored to work with the home in this small way to bring change to the lives of the young ladies who live there.
If you do not support us, please pray about becoming a part of reaching souls all over the world. It is definitely an exciting time to be a part of the Ron Middleton Missions Outreach!

“For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek.” Romans 1:16
We are excited for Bro. Andrew Merritt and his lovely wife. (pictured) They have officially moved to New York to begin the ministry God laid on their hearts. It is exciting to hear the reports of their soul winning efforts to meet new people and see souls saved for Christ. Bro Merritt’s comment in his letter: “Soul winning works anywhere you work it because the Gospel is “the power of God unto salvation” should encourage us all to do more. Bro. Merritt knows soulwinning still works!
Bro. Young and the Living Hope Baptist Church in Jasper, Indiana, continues to maintain and increase their numbers, but as with all churches you have high days of attendance and low days. His attitude was such an encouragement, “It is funny how God reminds us how He operates: on our lowest service day, we had by far our fullest altar, with one lady coming to settle her assurance of salvation!” They have seen many new visitors due to tracts being left on doors. They know: Soulwinning still works!
Bro. Nettesheim, in Elizabeth City, NC, also reports the success of soulwinning. His church has a great turnout for visitation each week. It contributed to them seeing 17 saved last month! Just as a reminder: Soulwinning still works!
Our base church, West Park Baptist in Rockwell, NC, has taken groups out soulwinning each week since the early 90’s. This past Wednesday there were over 45 children, teens and adults visiting the small area we live in. Each week there are new visitors and new riders on the buses. The Outreach supports Pastors who go out and spread the Gospel because: Soulwinning still Works!
National Pastors & Team News
Our National Pastors are staying busy and working hard to build their churches. Bro. Habakkuk Allhyayi, Pastor of the Salvation Baptist Church in Nigeria had two days of soul winning this past month. In those two days they had the privilege of seeing 147 souls saved! He thanked God for the privilege of seeing people trust Christ. He realizes: Soulwinning still works.
Bro. Melchor Herida (pictured) of the Highway Bible Church in the Philippines, has begun to hold all of their services again after the pandemic. They are holding Bible Study in very remote areas and have continued their soulwinning program along with Bro. Christopher Montero of the Golden Harvest Baptist Church, in the Philippines. He tells of a young girl named Devonie. She got saved and attends soulwinning faithfully. She isn’t ready to verbally witness to the lost but she passes out tracts to everyone she meets! Devonie knows: Soulwinning still works!
We ask you keep Bro. Todd Painter in your prayers. He is scheduled to return to Thailand in the beginning of September if all goes well with his health and some other paperwork issues. In the meantime, he and his wife continue the Karen language Sunday school class at their home church. Pray also for Bro. Mark Holmes who will soon return to Africa. There are many needs in his ministry, but most importantly at the moment is the need for funding to purchase materials to add the roof on the second story of the new college.
We receive reports from all of our 98 pastors. There could never be room enough to tell every story, but sharing a few with you gives you a glimpse of their mission to serve the Lord. We are so honored to be a small part in their ministries. We continually pray for their health, their families and their safety. The men and their families work hard to visit and grow their churches. Most importantly they are personal soulwinners who realize: Soulwinning still works!
Tent Ministry & Girls Home Update
The Lord is still providing for this next addition to the Outreach. We were blessed to receive a donation to cover the cost of a new generator. We also have a trailer, the sound equipment needed and hymnals. We are still in need of lighting, big fans, folding chairs, a movable stage and sledge hammers. Please be in prayer about our being able to obtain these items. If you are led to help in any of these areas, please do not hesitate to contact us.
We also have a quick update from the Mercy Mountain Academy for girls. They have finished Phase 1 of their remodel on the home. The septic system has been updated and the county gave permission to add to enrollment. They have enrolled 2 new girls and have seen 3 of the girls accept the Lord as Saviour! What a blessing! There are two more phases in their remodel plans. Pray they receive the funding needed to continue updates.

What a blessing to see the Lord answering the prayers of His faithful servants. Bro. Dice and his family (pictured) moved to Illinois believing God would provide them with the building for the Liberty Baptist Church. The Lord did not disappoint. It is a beautiful facility. Bro. Bryan was able to visit with them and was thrilled to see the church growth. Each Pastor supported has news to share each month. We are excited to hear everything. From the AFC team, led by Bro. Walters in Texas, having 251 saved to Bro. Whitehouse in Virginia having twins born to new members in his church. Every accomplishment is a blessing and we are honored to be a small part of it all. God has big plans for all of our Pastors and for the Outreach. We are still working hard toward starting churches in every state. We have been involved in church plants in 14 states to date. We realize there is a long way to go, but God is certainly able. We took on our first Evangelist for support this month. Bro. Monte Watts and his family are out or Crown Point, IN. Bro. Watts supports churches in multiple capacities. He not only preaches but also helps with remodels, he builds custom pulpits and tables. We are thrilled to have them as part of our team.
National Pastors & Team News
The Outreach has started support to even more national pastors in Mexico City (5), Indochina (2) and Nigeria (2). Souls are being saved in Vietnam, Cambodia, the Philippines and many other countries through the Outreach. The Lord is opening doors all over the world. We are truly honored to be a small part in God’s plan! We do ask you pray for Bro. Holmes and Bro. Painter. They are currently in the states, but will be returning to their churches soon. Both will be minus one as they go back. We congratulate Rebekah Painter and Joseph Holmes who each graduated high school and will be staying in the States for college. Pray for their parents as they will be in different continents for the first time. Bro. Painter is praying to return to Thailand in September, if things continue to go well with his health. He is busy here with the Karen language Sunday school class he and his wife began at their home church. They are seeing as many as 15 attend the class and were excited to get the report of 9 souls trusting Christ in their work in Thailand this month. We also ask that you pray for several needs in Nigeria. Bro. Ransom Bob-Manuel is asking prayer for his Jr. Church and Bible Clubs. He was so happy they were able to buy a typewriter through the support we send. He can now give certificates to those who get baptized. Pastor Sikiru Mukaila told us of a group of teens having a conflict with another group over a motorbike. In retaliation one of the groups decided to burn down the community. The pastor and his family were forced to flee for several days before returning to find things in the church had been damaged and many members were left with no homes. Pray for the City of Refuge Ministry. The Refuge takes in those who leave the Muslim faith and fear retaliation. They have requested prayers for the family of Pastor Shaibu who was killed by a group of Muslim youth because he accepted Christ. On the same day he was killed the group burned down his church and parsonage leaving his wife and seven children with no place to live. All of our National pastors need our prayers. America is a truly blessed nation.
Tent Ministry Update
The Lord is truly providing for this next aspect of the Outreach. The Tent Ministry will be used to help our church plants get people excited about the new church by attending the meetings held. The tent has been ordered and will be picked up in August. A ministry such as this will require many extras. We have been praying for a 21 ft. trailer for hauling and the Lord provided! The trailer has graciously been donated, but we are still in need of a truck to pull the trailer. We will also be in need of a generator, lighting, big fans, folding chairs, a movable stage and sledge hammers. Please be in prayer about our being able to obtain these items. If you are led to help in any of these areas, please do not hesitate to contact us. We can’t wait to see how God uses the tent ministry to further the building of churches across America!

“I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.” 1 Corinthians 3:6
We are so excited to see the increase God is providing to our church plants! Bro. Andrew and Katlyn Merritt are our newest plants (pictured). They will be working to start a church in upstate New York by the end of June! Please be in prayer for them as they are currently searching for housing and work. Once those things are accomplished they can move and get on target to start the church. Bro. Netteshiem, in North Carolina, is rejoicing in the fact they were able to purchase a new home in their area. His family is planting roots to continue the work God has given them. We have also started support to Bro. Ernesto Marticorena who has a Spanish church in Comstock, Michigan. He is seeing souls saved and baptized as his church continues to rejoice in God’s increases. Bro. Stephen Dice has signed a one-year lease on a building in Carmi, IL. They are working hard to have it ready for services on June 5th. Bro. Walters in Texas took his group to share the Gospel with Afghanistan refugees who have settled in a south Dallas apartment complex. They are of the Muslim faith, and few speak English, but 2 teenagers did receive Jesus Christ as Saviour! His team has seen 592 people saved through the end of April. The Outreach is now in 12 states. Our prayer is to continue to open churches in all 50 states across America. Pray the Lord continues to open doors and provide the needs. Pray also for our church plants in Colorado and Oklahoma. They each need a man of God to lead them and help them to grow. We are planting and waiting to see the increase the Lord gives.
National Pastors & Team News
“Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them.” Mark 11:24
Our National Pastors have so many needs. One of the most important is transportation. There is a great need for vehicles so the people can come and support the churches. Without people having the means to attend, the pastors cannot grow their churches. For that to happen the church must purchase a vehicle and keep up repairs. The outlying areas where most of the churches are do not have public transportation which would help ease the burden. Bro. Thompsons, in Africa, is one of those who requests prayers for his Church vehicle. More importantly he asks prayers for the health of his wife who had a major surgery and for the family of his personal assistant and soul winning partner, Brother Jeyhz, who passed away last month at the age of 39. Bro. Todd Painter is still in the states. He is hoping to be back in Thailand soon to continue his work there. Bro. Pron has done a great job to continue the church in his absence. It continues to grow and have souls saved, but he would appreciate prayers to return as soon as possible. Pray for the Swahili Bible Translation that has begun in Kenya with Bro. Robert Mickey. They have just begun the long journey to completion, but what a blessing it will be for the people to read the Word of God in their own language! Bro. Mark Holmes and his family are in the states currently to “send-off” their son, Joseph, to college. It is a bittersweet time as they will return to Nigeria, after their four-month furlough, without him. We all have needs, but we can pray believing God will work them out for our good and His glory. The National pastors we support have many more needs, but their true desire is not for the comforts or easing of their burdens. It is to see souls saved and lives changed for the Lord. It takes a team dedicated to spreading the Gospel to reach the World and with the Lord’s help and continued prayers, we can be that team!
Orphanage & Girls Home Update
The orphanages we support are continuing to thrive. There are always needs to be met, but their most important prayers are for the salvation of each child. The rearing of children for the Lord is a big responsibility. The Mercy Mt. Girls Academy is a huge example of the need of the Lord in children’s hearts. Without the proper guidance, and sometimes even with it, children will make wrong choices. We are blessed to have Bro. and Mrs. Thompsons in Nigeria, the Samson’s in Thailand and Mrs. Lori in America who have dedicated their lives to loving these children and teaching them about Jesus. Pray with us that all the children who pass through their doors will grow to become spiritual leaders in their future homes and churches.

“Church planting teaches two things more than any other: that God is faithful and that we must learn how to depend on that faithful God.”
Stepping out on faith to fulfill God’s will for your life can be a daunting endeavor. We are so thankful our Pastors have humbled themselves to follow God’s will for their lives. It is a true blessing to hear how God is growing our church plants. The attendance is up at each, souls are being saved, and lives changed. Please continue to keep them all in your prayers. Especially pray for the Colorado and Oklahoma plants that God would send the right men to lead them. We are thrilled for the Living Hope Baptist Church! Bro. Young was too excited to wait for the building to be ready and began holding services in his home. There were 10 people at the first service! They have visited over 75% of Jasper, IN and are already seeing their numbers grow. For their grand opening on Easter Sunday there were 52 in attendance! What a blessing to see God work. Pray for Bro. Richardson and his family in Kentucky. An outbreak of Covid slowed things down for a bit but he was thrilled to report a good number of visitors and souls saved this month. From Colorado to North Carolina and many states in between the Lord is moving to see souls saved! America needs the Lord and we are so blessed to be a part of reaching souls for Christ!

“And I will give you pastors according to mine heart, which shall feed you with knowledge and understand.” Jeremiah 3:15
Please pray for the men God has allowed us to support. Each man is very important and the work they are doing for the Lord is such a blessing to see. Bro. Juno in the Philippines said it best, “True happiness in life is that when somebody got saved because you done something for Him to know the Savior.” The pastors we support have dedicated their lives to seeing souls saved! Bro. Sihok in Cambodia had the privilege of leading 6 adults to the Lord. Bro. Montero, also in the Philippines was rejoicing over “Family Sunday 2022” where 11 souls were saved and his church “witnessed an event that was done for the glory of the Lord.” Yenagoa Independent Baptist Church in Nigeria has grown two bus routes and goes out Soulwinning on Fridays and Saturdays. The pastor is thrilled with the average attendance of 50! Transportation for soulwinning is not easy in a lot of the countries we support. In America we definitely take a car in every driveway for granted. We sincerely covet your prayers for all of our men. Bro. Painter is still in the states due to health issues. Please, pray he will be well enough soon for he and his family to return to Thailand. When God has laid a country on your heart the people become like family. We know he will be thrilled to be in his church with his people as soon as possible. Bro. Ayodeji Peter in Nigeria recently graduated from Bible College and has begun his church. His prayer requests are very important to continue his ministry. He needs a permanent place of gathering, an access to water for baptisms, and along with Bro. Tamobele at the Faith Alive Baptist Church, he requests prayer for more laborers to assist with the work. There always seems plenty to do for the Lord, but not always enough workers. They are so thankful for the support we offer, but truly appreciate our prayers as they know God can provide all needs.
Orphanage & Girls Home Update
“Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward.” Psalm 127:3
The smile on her precious face says it all (pictured). The simple joy of a new school uniform, a backpack and lunchbox. What an honor it is to help the children at the orphanages. We at the Outreach truly believe the Lord is blessing because of the support we provide to the precious children who need it most. The children are safe, loved and not only fed physically, but most importantly spiritually! We thank you for the continued support. Bro. Thompsons in Nigeria was thrilled to be able to pay all the school fees for the children without any delays. Thankfully there were no health issues this time. He attributed it to being able to buy tanker water. It seems a small thing, but to them it can mean so much. The home there has several needs as do the homes in Burma. Please pray the Lord continues to bless them and meet those needs. In Nigeria a roof is needed over their building, a generator is needed and the annual rent comes due quickly. There are so many things we take for granted in America. For us electricity is readily available, clean running water is as easy as turning a handle but to these children obtaining even simple things can be a struggle. Continue to keep them in your prayers.
