I just returned from teaching an introduction to the Apostle Paul's letters to a large group of leaders at Hebron Baptist Church in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.
I also presented a workshop on personal
evangelism in one of their mission churches. This is the
third year I have had the privilege of ministering in this church.
I love the emphasis of the pastor on
leadership training, expository preaching through books of the Bible,
sound biblical doctrine, evangelism teams, establishing mission
churches, etc. It is a joy to serve with Pastor Elmer.
I led a successful week long personal
evangelism conference in this biblically sound church in September
2016 using my training manual.

The Lord is continuing to call out those
whom He has chosen to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. We have the
privilege of disciplining and training His servants. I thank the Lord
each day for the faithful pastors, professors, and mission leaders who
gave me the opportunity to serve Him. God calls them; let's encourage
them to be all that God has called them to be. One day, we will have
the joy of hearing the Lord welcome these faithful men and women:
"Well done, my good and faithful servant, enter into the glory of the
Lord."
"If you don't read; don't preach." Fifty-eight years ago
these were the solemn words of wisdom a preacher gave to me who was
retiring after 50 years of ministry. If you want to be a successful
minister of the Gospel, you must know the Scriptures. If you don't
study; don't preach. Let's teach them to love the Word.
