There are many blessings in the ministry and it is humbling to be in evangelism. I’ve been guided by and challenged by Romans 12:1,2. I’m grateful for every opportunity to apply this passage in the ministry of evangelism.
During the month of September of last year, I once again had the opportunity to partner with Evangelist Tom Faulk at Bow Baptist in Weathersfield Bow, VT. I taught Sunday School and led singing. The following Sunday, I filled in for Pastor Jared Dunbar at Tabernacle Baptist Church in Peabody, MA. October found me having a part in the missions conference at Landmark Baptist Church in Loudon, NH. I have appreciated the support of Pastor Paul Clow
and church family there for many years now. I was able to give an update and preach. From there I traveled down to Curtis Corner Baptist Church for our fall Save New England Conference. I led in the congregational singing and provided special music. The conference as always was a spiritual “shot in the arm” and challenge.
November began with my filling in for Pastor Eric Ness at Center Conway Baptist Church in Center Conway, NH for a full Sunday followed by my filling in for Evangelist Tom Faulk at Bow Baptist Church in Weathersfield Bow, VT on the second Sunday of that month. I ended the month speaking, along with Pastor Dale Schwartz, at a missions conference at Heritage Baptist Church of New Haven, CT where John Gaydos is the pastor.
In December, I led a Christmas Hymn sing at Trinity Baptist Church in Moscow, ME and preached a salvation message. I also attended the Pastor’s Refreshers’ Conference at Calvary Baptist Church in Sanford, ME. Again, I was blessed and challenged as I have been every year that I’ve attended this conference.
I have been a member and served for nearly nine years at Gospel Light Baptist Church in New Vineyard, ME. It’s been a blessing to see what the Lord has done and is doing there. After many months, after Pastor Steve Grubbs moved back to Tennessee, the Lord has brought Pastor Aaron Ware to the church, and I
believe the Lord is continuing to grow the church spiritually and to reach more people with the gospel in that area of Maine for Christ. I found another need to help a church in Waterville, ME where Pastor Randy Risinger has taken the pastorate.
After speaking to Pastor Risinger, he expressed his need for help, and I felt that my assistance in the area of music would be helpful to him as well as the church. With that in mind, I decided to move my membership to Getchell St. Baptist Church in Waterville, ME and did so on December 14th. At present, I’m leading the congregational singing and taking part in providing special music when not on the road.
This last January I filled in for two Sundays at Curtis Corner Baptist Church in Wakefield, RI. Both Sundays were good services and even with the snowy weather, I managed to get there safely. Last month of February, I updated, preached and provided special music at another one of my supporting churches, Tabernacle Baptist Church in New Britain, CT where Chris Shafer is the pastor. I had a unique opportunity to present the ministry of Save New England at Independent Baptist Church in Honolulu, HI where Kan Ching is the pastor. I preached and provided special music on a Sunday and Wednesday night while there.
This month of March has me preaching at a Spanish speaking Baptist church in Yonkers, NY and then off to Servants Conference! I will share the details in my next update. Let’s stay at it for Christ! If I can be a help in any way pastor, don’t hesitate to contact me. The greatest blessing for me as an evangelist is to be a co-laborer with faithful pastors to help mature the saints for the work of the ministry!
