Dear Pastor, Church, & All Supporters:
Mark 16:15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel to preach unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,
The flow of reports in chronological order was interrupted, with other pressing schedules, reports, and events, however it’s all the LORD’S work and I trust each mission’s report will encourage you and may you see the hand of our LORD working in all that we do.
It is not only the (BIG) events, rather all the (little) steps we take that we really begin to grasp what our LORD is doing in our lives, and the furtherance of His Kingdom.
No matter where we find ourselves, as God’s children, we all are in some form or another a ‘missionary’ and the field we serve in is always before us, a child of God, being the ‘salt & light’ of this world, cannot be part-time. The field is the world, the seed is the ‘Word of God’ and the sower, you and I.
The third week of June and first week of July I helped Bro. Dale Wallace at the Bible camp in which, he hosts every year at Boone, N.C. I have laboured in this (mission field) more than once in the past years, each time is refreshing, encouraging, the evidence of many parayers being answered. Within two weeks of preaching, teaching, the little ones, and big people too, sit under the equivalent of one year’s ministry. Many bible camps are operated around this country filled with entertainment, parents drop off their children just to be entertained, and find a babysitter so they (the parents) can take a holiday or so.
We have not been called to entertain, pacify, please, babysit or otherwise….The LORD gave specific commands to His people, & His church what to do, until He returns again. Every pastor, church member, missionary (all of us) will stand before the LORD Jesus and give an (accounting), a report, you the reader, you too will give your mission report to the LORD in heaven, how you did in the field he put you in. Remember, its not just me that will answer, give my accounting of my time, effort, energy, the money spent, resources etc… so many people want to give money to someone else for them to do the job they are to do! How will your tale be told in heaven?
I highly recommend Boone, N.C. Bible camp for those who can get there, I also highly recommend that you don’t just drop off your child, rather you too attend (if possible).
This past summer at the Bible Camp it was very special to me. I had the honour and privilege to teach alongside my former pastor (Elder Rick Perdue), the Sunday starting camp at the morning services Damascus Baptist church, my two former pastors were in attendance Elder Rick Perdue, & Elder Steve Fulton. My current pastor Elder Tate Pierce was in route otherwise he too would have been there.
Being called to walk by faith not by sight, the LORD brings His ministers together, the children, parents, coworkers, teachers, and preachers, giving them a gift, talent that is shared. There must be a ‘willing ming / heart’ in the life of God’s people IF they want the LORD to bless the work of their hands.
When the LORD saves one of His chosen, there should be a ‘Biblical testimony’, we are not called to scrutinize, put under the microscope and somehow become the ‘Judge’ of the one making their confession. Who is it that really knows the hear? Who hath made the ear, or the eye, or the mouth? Can you hold the wind in your fists, or bind the waters in a garment, can you establish the ends of the earth? The new birth is from above!
Only heaven will reveal who truly has been born again, or not, we are simply commanded to preach His Word, baptise those who make confession of faith in Christ, and teach, tutor them in “all things” of His Word, a lifelong vocation.
May our LORD bless the work of your hands, smile upon your life, as you labour for Him in the field He has placed you.
In His Name,
Missionary Peter Halliman
