Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

While sharing the Gospel in Kampala, Uganda, I was asked several times a simple and direct question, “What you share with us here in Kampala, do you share this back home?”  Fortunately I was able to say yes. I was reminded of the need to be a witness in my own community and very day brings more opportunity to share the Gospel of Christ.  No matter where you are, be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit and look for an opportunity to witness to someone.  My challenge is be a missionary to your own family and community.

We express our thanks to everyone for your prayers and financial support.  The goal of funding 60 National-to-National projects in 2019 seemed such a huge task and because of your generosity we have funded 45 projects. We still need to fund 15 more projects to achieve our goal of 65 projects.  Please pray asking God how you can help.  Our bank account is spent and our backs are against the wall.  It is imperative that we do as much as we can because the coming of the Lord is eminent.  The time is short and we are called to spread the saving knowledge of our Lord and Savior so than many more will come to know Him.

Please take time and go to our web-site to see all of the projects that are scheduled and planned for this year.  Note we are funding many projects in Indonesia and other difficult places.  Since these areas are not amenable to the gospel and Christians are in danger, the reports are slow in coming.

Project Testimonies on how accepting Jesus as Lord and Savior will change lives:

*note I have not made any corrections to these testimonies

Zimbabwe (Birchenough/Nyanyadzi) – A community leader who used to ban church gatherings every time there was a community meeting which was conducted on one Sunday every month.  He finally gave his life to the Lord.  The Christians in this community celebrated when news that this man and his family gave their lives to the Lord reached them.  He has since chosen the church he wants to fellowship with.  The man himself declared that there would not be any Sunday that will be disturbed and gave people all the freedom to worship with no interferences from the community authorities.

 Swaziland (Mustapha) – A woman who said to have backslidden for several years gave her life to the Lord in a very dramatic way after the team visited her.  She lost her husband several years ago and the church was not there to really care for her.  She never went to church for over ten years when the Gospel was shared with her she also realized that she has been boing to church for many years of her life without really giving her life to the Lord.  Now she is happy to have begun a new with the Lord.

Congo DRC (Njogu Baptist Association) – We praise the Lord that our visiting preachers were led to visit some houses of witch doctors in the week and fourteen witch doctors heard the gospel and were convicted of their sins and prayed to give their life to Jesus the son of God.  They all gave out their stuff to be burned that they used to do with craft.  They vowed no to go back to do witch craft.

Our team had divine appointment from God that they visited a group of rebels and they were shared about Jesus on how He changes life from evil to good.  Twenty four prayed to give their life to Jesus and surrendered themselves to the Government.  Praise the Lord that God is able to change lives.

Results of Projects where Reports have been received:

Without Jesus we are lost and slaves to sin.  Only Jesus changes our lives from the inside out.  We rejoice that over 40,000 individuals hearts have been changed and are now walking with Jesus.  Please pray for the scheduled projects, that have yet to be funded and pray asking God to show how you can be a part in sharing the Gospel of Christ to the uttermost parts of the earth.

Scheduled Projects not yet funded:

Friends and partners of Dick Senter Ministries,

Thank you for your generous monetary gifts and continued prayer support. Dick Senter Ministries (DSM) has achieved the goal of sponsoring forty National-to-National projects for 2018.  Twenty three projects have now reported results and 186,919 lost individuals have professed an acceptance of Jesus as their personal savior. Praise God for the harvest!

God continues to bless as we see the Holy Spirit working in lives of new believers.  We rejoice in having a part in spreading the Gospel of Christ throughout the world.  The harvest is ripe and the harvesters are few.  We need to do more for the glory of God.  Dick Senter Ministries (DSM) is planning to sponsor 50% more projects in 2019 than what was sponsored in 2018.  To accomplish this goal DSM will need to raise $60,000 by January 1, 2019 so twenty N2N projects can be completed in the first quarter of 2019.  Much prayer and trusting in the Lord is needed if sixty projects will be completed in 2019.

For new contributors and prayer partners of Dick Senter Ministries (DSM) it is important to clarify how DSM uses your contributions:

• All contributions go to National-to-National (N2N) evangelical projects (unless otherwise indicated) and all overhead expenses are paid by the Board of Directors of DSM.
• DSM identifies projects based on number of churches involved in the project, local acceptance of the Gospel and the needs of the churches involved.
• Projects are administered and implemented by our ministry partner International Commission (IC).
• Money designated for a specified project goes directly to the designated project to cover travel cost of National participants, material support, training of church members and other direct project expenses.
• N2N projects are conducted by believers within their own country. Nationals share the saving grace of God with other nationals.

*40 National-to-National Projects to be  Sponsored in 2018

Testimonies from Projects:

Swaziland - When we were doing the door to door visits with one church called Devine Restoration we visited a man who had been sick for little over two years now. he has been bed ridden but able to talk. we were welcome to to his sick bed and we shared the Gospel with him. after a few discussions he gave his life to the Lord. the family was so much shocked because he was known to be very resistant to the Gospel for many years. "I thank God who has send his servants from different nations to come to this country and share the Good News with me and the people of my country. Iam so exited because I never realised that the issues of the Gospel are this serious" the man remarked. by the end of our project we got news that God was miraculously healing this man and he was now able to do things that he was not able to do before. we praised God by such a powerful testimony.

Tanzania - Our team visited an old man of 90 yrs. and also a leader of a  devil worshiper group, they shared to him about the true savior  of mankind Jesus. This man was convicted of his sins and he prayed to give Jesus his life. After the prayer, he requested our team to go and send the devil worship stuff back to the main group and he would come to church . The old man was so happy to have Jesus in His life. May God be given all the glory for He is able to change life of people who open their hearts in true faith.

We are so thankful to God for what you dear ones have contributed towards this project. For without you, it would be very hard to do it.  For you who prayed for us, we very much needed your prayers for our spiritual encouragement.

Zambia - A man who was a Muslim drastically gave his life to the Lord when our team was making visits in one area called Emmasdale. He was captivated by the evangel-cube that was used to present the Gospel to one of his friend that he had visited. Even though he was not wearing the regalia of being Muslim he drew closer to the preacher and asked "can you please explain to me also the message you are sharing with my friend". The preacher explained to him and he began asking some questions. He first confessed that he was Muslim but he wanted to believe in Jesus because for the first time in his life he got hold of the truth that he has been ignoring for a number of years. The preacher then lead him to Christ and took him through the assurance of salvation.

Central Africa (Non-disclosed location due to safety for believers) - Our team had an opportunity to share to rebel soldiers and praise the Lord that they were convicted of their sins and they prayed to give their life to Jesus and surrendered themselves to  the Government. Praises to the King Jesus who changes life of people.

There were sixteen witch doctors saved in this crusade and they gave their charms and were burned. Sure our God is God praise His name.

We are so thankful to God for you brothers and sisters who contributed towards this crusade. Sure it would be very hard for us without this contribution. Glory and honor be to God and bless you all.  For you who prayed for us, we needed it for our safety and good health and courage to walk long distances on foot. God bless you also.

Ethiopia - A woman who was under demon control, she could fall down and faint, she heard that there were visiting  preachers in her area and she decided to look for them. She found them at their place they were staying. Our team of preachers were so glad to see this woman.  They shared to this lady about Jesus and what He can do.  The lady was convicted of her sins she prayed to give her life to Jesus.  After the prayer of confession for this lady, our team laid hands on her and cursed the evil powers out of her, praise Jesus for He set her free. After this prayer, she said " I thank God today I am set free from the evil powers, I give God all the glory " Praises to the name of Jesus our savior.

I am reminded of how many believers, in foreign places, are risking their lives for the kingdom of Christ.  We had the privilege of sending 250 Bibles (in support of National-to-National work) to the highlands of Vietnam where the Bible is illegal in the native language.  A local pastor smuggled the Bibles into Vietnam, from Cambodia, utilizing a underground network of believers.  These believers are risking their life while we sit back in comfort without fear of persecution.  This makes me ask how much more can we give financially for the work of the Lord.  Please pray how the Lord can use you to help spread the gospel of Christ to an unsaved world.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; ³⁸ therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38

Again thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Friends of Dick Senter Ministries

God has abundantly blessed Dick Senter Ministries this year and it is a pleasure to inform you that the goal to sponsor 15 National-to-National projects in 2017 to honor the life and ministry of Brother Dick Senter has been exceeded.  The ministry has now funded 20 projects which were made possible through God working in lives of believers who have caught the vision of Christ to the World.

The words of the Doxology “Praise God from whom all blessings flow!  Praise Him all creatures here below!  Praise Him above ye heavenly Host!  Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  AMEN” remind us of how we are to praise our Lord in all things great and small.  Then we are reminded in Luke 15:10   ^“Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” We as believers who share in the great commission praise God for the work that He has accomplished this year through the N2N projects where the angels have rejoiced over the 104,000 plus, lost sinners, that have received the bread of life that trusting is Jesus as Lord and savior brings.

 The number of new believers accepting Christ through these projects is amazing; however, even if only one person came to accept Jesus as their savior all of these projects would have been a success.  All that we are asked to do is tell others about His saving Grace.  We recognize that God is in control as it says in 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.⁷ So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.⁸ Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.  Our reward is sharing in the blessing of seeing men and women come to the Lord.

The following are results (not previously shared) from DSM sponsored projects:

                        Kenya              March 3, 2017             44,287 professions of faith (held in large                                                                                          refugee camp)

                        Cuba                June 6, 2017                1,195 professions of faith

                        Costa Rica       July, 1, 2017                674 professions of faith

The following projects are scheduled and will go for two weeks.  Much prayer is needed so those who received the gospel message will respond and surrender their hearts to the Lord:

                        Philippines (Northern Samar)            Oct. 21, 2017,

                        Cuba (Isla de Pinos)                          Oct. 21, 2017,

                     North Africa (undisclosed location) Oct. 21, 2017

                      Bolivia                                                  Nov. 4, 2017

                      Ukraine                                             Dec. 9, 2017

It is the Goal of Dick Senter Ministries to do even more for the furtherance of the Gospel in 2018 we have set a goal to sponsor 40 N2N projects.  This will require much prayer and financial contributions, of believers, to accomplish such an ambitious undertaking.  We recognize that this is possible if undertaken by the urging of the Holy Spirt since God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and all we are to do is be obedient to his call on our lives whether contributing financially, pray or going to the mission fields.  We urge you to pray for guidance in considering what your part will be in helping to attain this goal.  It is very important that we sponsor no less than 15 projects in the first three months of 2018 if this goal is to be a reality.    Please pray that the Lord will provide the $40,000.00 needed.

The question has been asked why such a big goal?  Again, we want to be reminded that the harvest is ripe but the workers are few and the lost will not accept Jesus as Lord and savior unless they hear.  It is the will of God that none should be lost when Jesus returns.  It is our prayer that we not be caught sitting still but trust in God.  2 Peter 3:8-10  says “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Let us do our part until Christ returns,

Jim Warkentine

We at Dick Senter Ministries have been engaged in efforts to expand the Ministry.  As most of you are aware the support of DSM has come from those that knew brother Senter personally or had at one time attended a church that he pastored.  It was felt the results of the mission projects sponsored in the past by DSM warranted expanding the base of support for the ministry so more mission projects could be completed.

We now have completed a DSM web-site (www.Dicksenterministries.com), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DickSenterMinistries) and a twitter account (twitter.com/Dsenterministry.)  Do take the time to like Dick Senter Ministries on Facebook, visit the web-site and share information with Facebook and twitter.

God continues to bless the N2N crusades and am happy to report the latest information received concerning the projects completed in Kenya and Uganda are as follows:

                  Kenya     July 14, 2017

Profession of faith................................................ 2322.

Rededication.......................................................15.

Those baptized ........................................... 40

            Uganda July 7, 2017   

                        Profession of faith..................................................   5210.

Rededication..........................................................     122.

Baptisms made.......................................................      13.

The following is a testimony concerning the Uganda Project:

“An amazing thing happened in this project through the power of the living God.  Our team of preachers were invited to preach to a XXXX school, all was under God's grace, the students listened to the word of God, Jesus being proclaimed as the one way to heaven, and who is the savior of every human being, praise God that 180 students prayed and gave their life to Jesus.  Praise God that He is able to save all who come to Him in truth.”

“A XXXX priest was visited by our team and he welcomed them to share the living gospel of the Lord Jesus.  The XXXX priest was touched by the spirit of God and he was convicted of his sins and he said I need to be saved.  He prayed the sinner’s prayer. He said pray for me for the danger around me from the other XXXX.”

I am really encouraged how the Spirit of God is moving in Africa.  It is good to see that the redemptive power of the word of God is moving even in these XXXX areas.  The time is short and the harvest is ready but the workers are few.  Now it is more important than ever to do everything that we can do to sponsor as many evangelical projects as possible.  Please pray with us that Christians throughout the world will catch the vision and urgency to do whatever they can to win the lost for Christ before Jesus returns.

It was a goal of DSM to honor the efforts of Brother Dick in spreading the Gospel of Jesus throughout the world by sponsoring fifteen mission projects by the end of this year.  The ministry, un-expectantly, received a $10,000.00 gift making it possible to fund the additional mission projects needed to meet our mission goal for 2017. 

Another mission minded individual at Churchill Baptist Church, here in San Antonio, felt the call of Christ to extend the Goal for 2017 by an additional five projects.   He took on the task of paying for the printing of 1,500 brochures in honor of his daughter who passed away in March of this year.  These brochures are to be distributed by the friends of the ministry to their friends and other churches so they too will have the opportunity to be involved in world missions.  These additional projects will be to sponsored to honor his daughter, Phyllis Riley Gustafson, who throughout her life had a heart for spreading the Love of Jesus to those she met.

Please help us raise the additional resources to fully fund these five additional projects to be completed in 2017.                    Argentina              September 30, 2017

                                    Columbia              October 7, 2017

                                    Cuba                         October 23, 2017

                                    Cuba                         October 29, 2017

                                    Cuba                         December 5, 2017

We will need approximately $15,000.00 to meet the extended goal of twenty mission projects completed in 2017.  Your contributions will make this possible and I can only think how happy Brother Dick would be to see the work continue and many individuals come to a saving knowledge of Christ. 

Apostle Paul said in Rom. 9:1-3 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— ² I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.  He was in great sorrow for those that did not believe.  Let us join together in prayer of those that have not yet accepted Jesus as their savior.

With the Love of Christ,

*40 National-to-National Projects to be  Sponsored in 2018

Testimonies from Projects:

Swaziland - When we were doing the door to door visits with one church called Devine Restoration we visited a man who had been sick for little over two years now. he has been bed ridden but able to talk. we were welcome to to his sick bed and we shared the Gospel with him. after a few discussions he gave his life to the Lord. the family was so much shocked because he was known to be very resistant to the Gospel for many years. "I thank God who has send his servants from different nations to come to this country and share the Good News with me and the people of my country. Iam so exited because I never realised that the issues of the Gospel are this serious" the man remarked. by the end of our project we got news that God was miraculously healing this man and he was now able to do things that he was not able to do before. we praised God by such a powerful testimony.

Tanzania - Our team visited an old man of 90 yrs. and also a leader of a  devil worshiper group, they shared to him about the true savior  of mankind Jesus. This man was convicted of his sins and he prayed to give Jesus his life. After the prayer, he requested our team to go and send the devil worship stuff back to the main group and he would come to church . The old man was so happy to have Jesus in His life. May God be given all the glory for He is able to change life of people who open their hearts in true faith.

We are so thankful to God for what you dear ones have contributed towards this project. For without you, it would be very hard to do it.  For you who prayed for us, we very much needed your prayers for our spiritual encouragement.

Zambia - A man who was a Muslim drastically gave his life to the Lord when our team was making visits in one area called Emmasdale. He was captivated by the evangel-cube that was used to present the Gospel to one of his friend that he had visited. Even though he was not wearing the regalia of being Muslim he drew closer to the preacher and asked "can you please explain to me also the message you are sharing with my friend". The preacher explained to him and he began asking some questions. He first confessed that he was Muslim but he wanted to believe in Jesus because for the first time in his life he got hold of the truth that he has been ignoring for a number of years. The preacher then lead him to Christ and took him through the assurance of salvation.

Central Africa (Non-disclosed location due to safety for believers) - Our team had an opportunity to share to rebel soldiers and praise the Lord that they were convicted of their sins and they prayed to give their life to Jesus and surrendered themselves to  the Government. Praises to the King Jesus who changes life of people.

There were sixteen witch doctors saved in this crusade and they gave their charms and were burned. Sure our God is God praise His name.

We are so thankful to God for you brothers and sisters who contributed towards this crusade. Sure it would be very hard for us without this contribution. Glory and honor be to God and bless you all.  For you who prayed for us, we needed it for our safety and good health and courage to walk long distances on foot. God bless you also.

Ethiopia - A woman who was under demon control, she could fall down and faint, she heard that there were visiting  preachers in her area and she decided to look for them. She found them at their place they were staying. Our team of preachers were so glad to see this woman.  They shared to this lady about Jesus and what He can do.  The lady was convicted of her sins she prayed to give her life to Jesus.  After the prayer of confession for this lady, our team laid hands on her and cursed the evil powers out of her, praise Jesus for He set her free. After this prayer, she said " I thank God today I am set free from the evil powers, I give God all the glory " Praises to the name of Jesus our savior.

I am reminded of how many believers, in foreign places, are risking their lives for the kingdom of Christ.  We had the privilege of sending 250 Bibles (in support of National-to-National work) to the highlands of Vietnam where the Bible is illegal in the native language.  A local pastor smuggled the Bibles into Vietnam, from Cambodia, utilizing a underground network of believers.  These believers are risking their life while we sit back in comfort without fear of persecution.  This makes me ask how much more can we give financially for the work of the Lord.  Please pray how the Lord can use you to help spread the gospel of Christ to an unsaved world.

Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; ³⁸ therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:37-38

Again thank you for your prayers and financial support.

Friends of Dick Senter Ministries

God has abundantly blessed Dick Senter Ministries this year and it is a pleasure to inform you that the goal to sponsor 15 National-to-National projects in 2017 to honor the life and ministry of Brother Dick Senter has been exceeded.  The ministry has now funded 20 projects which were made possible through God working in lives of believers who have caught the vision of Christ to the World.

The words of the Doxology “Praise God from whom all blessings flow!  Praise Him all creatures here below!  Praise Him above ye heavenly Host!  Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.  AMEN” remind us of how we are to praise our Lord in all things great and small.  Then we are reminded in Luke 15:10   ^“Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” We as believers who share in the great commission praise God for the work that He has accomplished this year through the N2N projects where the angels have rejoiced over the 104,000 plus, lost sinners, that have received the bread of life that trusting is Jesus as Lord and savior brings.

 The number of new believers accepting Christ through these projects is amazing; however, even if only one person came to accept Jesus as their savior all of these projects would have been a success.  All that we are asked to do is tell others about His saving Grace.  We recognize that God is in control as it says in 1 Corinthians 3:6-8 I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase.⁷ So then neither is he that planteth anything, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase.⁸ Now he that planteth and he that watereth are one: and every man shall receive his own reward according to his own labor.  Our reward is sharing in the blessing of seeing men and women come to the Lord.

The following are results (not previously shared) from DSM sponsored projects:

                        Kenya              March 3, 2017             44,287 professions of faith (held in large                                                                                          refugee camp)

                        Cuba                June 6, 2017                1,195 professions of faith

                        Costa Rica       July, 1, 2017                674 professions of faith

The following projects are scheduled and will go for two weeks.  Much prayer is needed so those who received the gospel message will respond and surrender their hearts to the Lord:

                        Philippines (Northern Samar)            Oct. 21, 2017,

                        Cuba (Isla de Pinos)                          Oct. 21, 2017,

                     North Africa (undisclosed location) Oct. 21, 2017

                      Bolivia                                                  Nov. 4, 2017

                      Ukraine                                             Dec. 9, 2017

It is the Goal of Dick Senter Ministries to do even more for the furtherance of the Gospel in 2018 we have set a goal to sponsor 40 N2N projects.  This will require much prayer and financial contributions, of believers, to accomplish such an ambitious undertaking.  We recognize that this is possible if undertaken by the urging of the Holy Spirt since God owns the cattle on a thousand hills and all we are to do is be obedient to his call on our lives whether contributing financially, pray or going to the mission fields.  We urge you to pray for guidance in considering what your part will be in helping to attain this goal.  It is very important that we sponsor no less than 15 projects in the first three months of 2018 if this goal is to be a reality.    Please pray that the Lord will provide the $40,000.00 needed.

The question has been asked why such a big goal?  Again, we want to be reminded that the harvest is ripe but the workers are few and the lost will not accept Jesus as Lord and savior unless they hear.  It is the will of God that none should be lost when Jesus returns.  It is our prayer that we not be caught sitting still but trust in God.  2 Peter 3:8-10  says “But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day.⁹ The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.¹⁰ But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up.”

Let us do our part until Christ returns,

Jim Warkentine

We at Dick Senter Ministries have been engaged in efforts to expand the Ministry.  As most of you are aware the support of DSM has come from those that knew brother Senter personally or had at one time attended a church that he pastored.  It was felt the results of the mission projects sponsored in the past by DSM warranted expanding the base of support for the ministry so more mission projects could be completed.

We now have completed a DSM web-site (www.Dicksenterministries.com), Facebook page (www.facebook.com/DickSenterMinistries) and a twitter account (twitter.com/Dsenterministry.)  Do take the time to like Dick Senter Ministries on Facebook, visit the web-site and share information with Facebook and twitter.

God continues to bless the N2N crusades and am happy to report the latest information received concerning the projects completed in Kenya and Uganda are as follows:

                  Kenya     July 14, 2017

Profession of faith................................................ 2322.

Rededication.......................................................15.

Those baptized ........................................... 40

            Uganda July 7, 2017   

                        Profession of faith..................................................   5210.

Rededication..........................................................     122.

Baptisms made.......................................................      13.

The following is a testimony concerning the Uganda Project:

“An amazing thing happened in this project through the power of the living God.  Our team of preachers were invited to preach to a XXXX school, all was under God's grace, the students listened to the word of God, Jesus being proclaimed as the one way to heaven, and who is the savior of every human being, praise God that 180 students prayed and gave their life to Jesus.  Praise God that He is able to save all who come to Him in truth.”

“A XXXX priest was visited by our team and he welcomed them to share the living gospel of the Lord Jesus.  The XXXX priest was touched by the spirit of God and he was convicted of his sins and he said I need to be saved.  He prayed the sinner’s prayer. He said pray for me for the danger around me from the other XXXX.”

I am really encouraged how the Spirit of God is moving in Africa.  It is good to see that the redemptive power of the word of God is moving even in these XXXX areas.  The time is short and the harvest is ready but the workers are few.  Now it is more important than ever to do everything that we can do to sponsor as many evangelical projects as possible.  Please pray with us that Christians throughout the world will catch the vision and urgency to do whatever they can to win the lost for Christ before Jesus returns.

It was a goal of DSM to honor the efforts of Brother Dick in spreading the Gospel of Jesus throughout the world by sponsoring fifteen mission projects by the end of this year.  The ministry, un-expectantly, received a $10,000.00 gift making it possible to fund the additional mission projects needed to meet our mission goal for 2017. 

Another mission minded individual at Churchill Baptist Church, here in San Antonio, felt the call of Christ to extend the Goal for 2017 by an additional five projects.   He took on the task of paying for the printing of 1,500 brochures in honor of his daughter who passed away in March of this year.  These brochures are to be distributed by the friends of the ministry to their friends and other churches so they too will have the opportunity to be involved in world missions.  These additional projects will be to sponsored to honor his daughter, Phyllis Riley Gustafson, who throughout her life had a heart for spreading the Love of Jesus to those she met.

Please help us raise the additional resources to fully fund these five additional projects to be completed in 2017.                    Argentina              September 30, 2017

                                    Columbia              October 7, 2017

                                    Cuba                         October 23, 2017

                                    Cuba                         October 29, 2017

                                    Cuba                         December 5, 2017

We will need approximately $15,000.00 to meet the extended goal of twenty mission projects completed in 2017.  Your contributions will make this possible and I can only think how happy Brother Dick would be to see the work continue and many individuals come to a saving knowledge of Christ. 

Apostle Paul said in Rom. 9:1-3 I speak the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience confirms it through the Holy Spirit— ² I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart.  He was in great sorrow for those that did not believe.  Let us join together in prayer of those that have not yet accepted Jesus as their savior.

With the Love of Christ,

Jim Warkentine
