Wow! What can I say but God is good by allowing us to get started by giving us a wonderful sponsoring church. Let me tell you about how this process Got started to bring you up to speed.
Back in the spring of 2010 I was pastoring a small church just south of Bloomington, Indiana. God was good and was working through that ministry. Then that spring God laid a burden on my heart to get into mission work. After praying about it for a little while I realized that God was moving me into this burden. I resigned my pastorate after just a little over a year. God moved me temporarily to Victory Missionary Baptist Church in Seymour Indiana. After spending some more time praying as to God's direction he laid the burden for Brownstown Indiana and began laying the foundation for Brownstown Indiana missions.
We started the process of seeking a sponsoring church. Man, was this a time that God taught me patience, and what waiting on his timing was about. I prayed from June of 2010 to March of 2011 for God to open a door for a sponsoring church. During that time I had some communication with some pastors about being our sending church, but God didn't open any doors. It was a time of praying and searching For God's will and direction.
It was then in March of 2011 that Brother Kenny Roberson pastor of Victory MBC told me that Pastor Micah Deaton of Redfield MBC had talked to him and told him they were looking to support an interstate missionary. Brother Kenny relayed this information to me and I contacted Brother Micah.
After several months of communication, answering questions, asking questions, praying, and seeking Gods will Brother Micah and his family came to Brownstown to survey the field with my family and I. Wow! God truly laid out the vision that day. After some more praying and seeking Gods will, the doors finally opened. On Sept 11, 2011 the members of Redfield MBC voted unanimously to be our sending church. Praise God!!!! He has put together the team he had in mind to move this mission work forward.
During the months of communication with Brother Micah God started opening doors. He provided a meeting place. It needs some work but the price is right. FREE!! Yes you read right, Free!! He has provided a pulpit , communion table, and a passion on people's hearts to get the building ready to meet in.
I humbly ask you to join us in this mission endeavor. We need your prayers, labor, and financial support. God has called us all to Go. Will you Go with us? If you wish to help financially please e-mail me and i will give to the address to mail to.
Thank you in advance for your support!
Brother Mike
I'm impressed on what God can do. Meeting you when I was a little girl, I was not too impressed with you, but now.......WOW! that's all I can say. Let God lead you; you will never know what He is going to do. You & your family will be in my prayers as well as the mission in Brownstown.
