The Purpose of Abide
in Christ, Inc.
The purpose of Abide in Christ
is to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ and make
disciples of all the nations, teaching them the Word
of God, the Bible; provide Bible based curriculum
for rural pastors and church leaders; shall educate
by conducting seminary extension courses, workshops,
seminars, revivals, Bible conferences, evangelism
training to effectively equip and train leadership;
actively participate in evangelism and discipleship
of local communities throughout the world; will
educate the Christian community and provide
financial assistance to national ministries of like
faith and practice. Our goal is to evangelize,
disciple and provide local pastors or church
leadership with the basic knowledge and skills that
are necessary to effectively fulfill their biblical
responsibilities in the local church. At the end of
our courses we want them to be able as pastors and
teachers to prepare God's people for service so the
body of Christ may be built up to the glory of God
the Father.
"I was able to see God at
work like I had never known."
Evangelism Workshops
Wil has taught hundreds of
evangelism workshops in churches, pastor's retreats,
and Bible conferences during the past fifty years in
Latin America. These one-day, three-day weekend, and
one week evangelism workshops have proven practical
and effective in training personal evangelism in a
local church setting. These were developed over the
years from practical experience working with pastors
in Ecuador, Honduras, Panama, and the U.S. Abide in
Christ provides a free training manual for all
participants. Reports continually come to us of people
coming to know Christ as their Savior in the weeks
and months following these conferences. Mission
churches have been started as a result of these
ministries.
Seminary Extension Programs
In January 2005, Wil taught the
first in a series of ten courses to begin the new
pastor leadership training program in Danli,
Honduras. Five intensive courses on books of the
Bible were added the next year. These courses were
also taught to pastors of evangelical churches in
other parts of Honduras and Nicaragua over the next
several years. This discipleship ministry now
includes courses being taught by Wil at Peniel
Theological Seminary in Riobamba, Ecuador. He serves
as the International Coordinator and Professor of
Biblical Studies at Peniel.
Pray for the Lord's guidance as
we seek to provide a cost effective, high quality,
professional education experience for rural pastors,
evangelists and church workers in Latin America.
These humble, financially deprived, dedicated
servants of the Lord have had little, if any, formal
training at a Bible college or seminary level.
Partnerships
We participate with
conservative, evangelical Bible believing
organizations in plating churches, discipleship, and
in some church construction. Pastors and church
leaders of other evangelical groups are invited to
study with us. The course material has been prepared
from a perspective which represents the historical
Christian theology, and is conservative, evangelical
and Bible-centered. The Bible is the required
curriculum content. We provide the students free of
charge textbooks for each course.
Statement of Faith of Abide in Christ.
These evangelism projects are
designed with a clear focus on church planting with
Latin American pastors and missionaries in needy
towns and villages. Evangelism teams are at the
heart of world missions. "When you are on mission
with God, He does the work."
Who are we?
Wil and Ann served as
missionaries in Panama, Ecuador, Honduras, and
pastored Baptist churches in the U.S. He and Ann are
graduates of William Carey University (B.A.), Azusa
Pacific University (M.A.), and New Orleans Baptist
Theological Seminary (Th.M.). They made numerous
trips to Honduras with medical and evangelism teams
while pastoring before serving as Field Director for
a medical dental mission in Honduras. Wil also
served as Director of Missions for Delta Baptist
Association in Arkansas for ten years before
retirement. He currently serves as Director of
Missions for Abide in Christ, Inc. with mission
projects in Ecuador, Honduras, Nicaragua, and India.
What can you do?
Partnership missions gives you
an opportunity to become personally involved in what
God is doing around the world.
Pray that our pastors and
church leaders in Latin America will be led by the
Holy Spirit to the locations where God is at work,
and that we will be sensitive to the leading of the
Holy Spirit in each of these ministries. We receive
many requests for these courses and evangelism
workshops in neighboring countries. Please pray for
the Lord's guidance, direction and provision.
When God calls, He provides.
Hudson Taylor observed, "God's work, done in God's
way, will receive God's supply." We have watched Him
do exactly that for 56 years. He opens doors for
teams, and then He almost startles them by the way
He makes it all possible. As the Lord provides we
seek to follow His direction in ministry. If He does
not provide financially it is obvious that it is not
where He wants us to work. In over 50 years of
ministry the Lord has always provided exactly what
is needed for the completion of His calling. When
the Lord calls He equips, and provides for the
ministry of those called. We can say with our whole
heart, "I saw God do it!"
