Missionaries

We are blessed to be able to support several missionaries and ministries through our faith promise missions program. We believe that missions is the “heartbeat” of the local church.  Every New Testament church should have a burden to reach people in their area, as well as taking the Gospel to the “uttermost parts of the earth.”  Currently we support eighteen different missionaries representing fourteen different mission fields, as well as three ministry organizations.

Name: Ronald & Tennille Downey	Location: Wales
Description: My ministry consist of ministering to existing baptist chapels, that are struggling to keep open. At the present moment we are pastoring as (Missionaries) Bethania Baptist Chapel. Before we came, this church only met a few times a month for regular church services. No Sunday school ministry no bible study and prayer ministry. We now have all three going at full force. My scripture verse for our ministry is from Revelation 3:2 Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.

Name: Bob & Joyce Landis	Location: Short Term Mission Teams
Description:  When Bob and Joyce Landis were working as youth directors in our local church, they quickly saw the importance of training young people to serve the Lord. It became evident that they had to show them, not just tell them, how to serve. So they began training their youth group and taking them on short-term mission trips. Soon families from other areas began asking whether their teens could travel with them as well. As a result, Make a Timothy Today Ministries (MTT) was born. MTT has ministered in 15 different countries around the world and now takes out as many as six teams a year. MTT is an avenue for young people to seek God’s will or just to make a difference somewhere in the world.
Mission Board:   MTT Ministries	Email:  mttministries@aol.com

Name: MTT Ministries	Location: Greenville, SC
Description:  Our Purpose in MTT is to help independent, fundamental, Bible-believing churches produce Christ-centered young people with a servant’s heart. Our Theme is “Molding the next generation for Christ.” The purpose of this application is to give college and high school students an opportunity to serve the Lord through short-term mission trips around the world. We believe that a mission trip can be a life-changing experience for the Christian young person. We offer training before each trip, because we believe that every Christian should be “prepared unto every good work.” (II Tim.2:21) It is important for us to be a help and not a burden or hindrance on the mission field.

Name: Brian & Jessica Lawson	Location: Brazil
Description: A “saved” man once told me that he thought having six children and going to the mission field would be a burden to the Lord. His comments made it sound impossible for our family to get to the mission field. However, here we are. The Lord has worked graciously in our lives and we now have a web site to inform the world about what God is doing in missions.  We appreciate your prayers and support as we endeavour to reach Brazil with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
