The Goal of Christ-centered Ministries

MISSIONS INDEX

"We proclaim Him, admonishing every man and teaching every man with all wisdom, so that we may present every man complete in Christ (Colossians 1:29).

I never cease to wonder at the privilege and opportunities the Lord has given me to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The amazing thing is that He keeps opening up these new ministries in strategic areas. Often, it is with an astonishing surprise!

I am so grateful for God's continued faithfulness as we press forward in our 58th year of ministry:

1. I just returned from teaching two seminary courses for Peniel Theological Seminary in Pintag and Yaroqui, Ecuador. These were fourth year students. A medical doctor asked me a few days ago if it was worth it. I said, "Yes. I see maturity and spiritual growth in these students compared to three years ago." They are growing in Christ, and I am involved in something that will still be worthwhile a million years from now.

2. In January seven Quichua churches in Pallatanga, Ecuador, came together to inaguarate the second seminary extension in their province. Last July we celebrated the graduation of the first extension. Alberto Copa and I spoke at the inaguation on the importance of a good Bible education for pastors and leaders.

3. I preached and conducted the Lord's Supper at Genesis Bilingual Evangelical Church, and then preached for special services at Nueva Amanecer Quichua Church.

4. Pray for our Medical Evangelism Team going back to minister in the Andean communities March 24-30, 2018. I will go down the week before and teach an intensive seminary course at Pintag on Paul's letter to 1 Corinthians.

5. We need door to door evangelism teams to begin outreach in the subdivision where the Peniel Theological Seminary property is located. Seminary students will also be required to do personal evangelism in this location as a prerequisite for graduation.

6. Our 8^th Annual Abide in Christ Peniel Theological Seminary Pastor Leadership Conference will meet under a large tent on the seminary property and will focus on church planting. These evangelistic campaigns will give opportunities to share God’s love with those who have never heard the Gospel. It will identify the seminary property with the local evangelistic outreach.
 

Abide in Christ teaches personal evangelism at Peniel Theological Seminary and in local churches.
 

  Abide in Christ ministries are made possible by the generous support of friends like you!

Sleeping in class or at the break?

The churches in Pallatanga rented a warehouse large enough to accomodate the dedication worship service.
