Wedding Opens Eyes of Missionary to Needs in the Pacific Northwest Washington ANDY BROWN discovered the need for gospel-preaching churches in metro Seattle when he visited the region in 2012 to perform a wedding. That weekend God began to impress on Andy the need for new churches in western Washington. In January 2013 Andy and his family moved to Bothell, Wash., to start The Landing Church. In January 2015, he started another at Pike Street Market in downtown Seattle. Your gifts given through the Cooperative Program help Andy and his wife, TRANG, serve the people of metro Seattle. Please pray that the Lord would draw people to Himself in the Pacific Northwest using missionaries like Andy. A lifestyle, characterized by good management, is a balanced lifestyle. As Christians, we manage what God provides for us and seek to balance the number of things accumulated and consumed with the amount we give to God and to others.

Heart Language Bible Storying [South Asia] Christian workers, DYLAN and JESSICA VILMEK,* teach South Asians to share the gospel using Bible stories and also to make audio recordings of the stories so they can be shared with others in a particular language group. Many South Asians are literate but still find it hard to understand what they read. Their education level is low and their preferred learning style is oral. During one training event, the Vilmeks’ goal was to craft 200 Bible stories into a particular people group’s heart language. Your gifts through the Cooperative Program help provide the gospel in many languages so that people can understand the good news of Christ.

Unity in the Body [South Africa] One hundred and fifty believers gathered in a small Baptist church. Although racially-motivated attacks were tearing their city apart, they stood together to ask God to bring peace. An elder called out the ethnic groups by name: white South African, Zulu, Xhosa and a dozen more. Everyone stood—black and white, young and old—joining hands across the aisles and singing together, “We are one in the Spirit.” “It was beautiful,” said IMB worker, ROSE SHEPHARD.* “We saw beautiful unity within the body of Christ today.” Thank you for giving through the Cooperative Program so workers like Rose can point others to a God who unifies The preceding "Missionary Moment" was made possible by gifts to the Southern Baptist Association Cooperative Program, which is supported by several Clay County churches who are members of the Booneville Baptist Association which consists of 25 churches in Clay and Owsley counties which are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Kentucky Baptist Convention.

God’s Love Transcends Differences [West Africa] Three-year-old EVAN BRASHER* has never met a stranger, according to his parents, JOEL and RUTH,* who are Christian workers in West Africa.

Searching for God East Asia LEE HENRY* was walking one day when someone called her name. It was one of her English students from years before. He told her that his family was going through a difficult time, when he realized that the only way out was through God. He found a Bible, and while he was searching for God, the Lord spoke to him, reminding him that his teacher, Lee, was a Christian. He set out to find her. Lee began training him. He now wants to move to a region to minister to Muslims. Gifts to the Cooperative Program support missionaries like Lee, who encourage and train new believers to live for God.

The people to whom they minister are spiritual but not churched and not followers of Jesus.

They are OK with whatever religion you want to follow, but they don’t want you to share that with them. Your support through the Cooperative Program is helping to change the people of Tucson.

New Life for a Dying Church [Kansas] KRISTOPHER SMILKO’s newly formed congregation was growing quickly and needed a meeting space. God led them to a church with a dwindling congregation. The two merged to form Grace on the Rock church. The church is located in Sedan, Kansas, a small community where many people grew up attending church and say they believe in God, but do not have a relationship with Jesus. Kristopher says drug abuse and subsequent poverty have become strongholds that keep people from following Jesus. Pray for Grace on the Rock as they search for another worship leader. Pray that the church continues to grow and give generously through the Cooperative Program to support this ministry.

Ministry among Mormons [Idaho] When SCOTT and JENNIFER PLATH received an email challenging them to consider ministry where Christianity is seen as a cult, they thought of someplace overseas. Surprisingly, the message pointed to the Northwest U.S. They learned of the Mormon influence in eastern Idaho and of the extreme need for SBC churches. After seeking God’s will, they packed up and moved from Tennessee to Rigby, Idaho, to plant Faith Baptist Fellowship. They also lead a Bible study at a nearby juvenile corrections facility.

Evangelical Ministry on Campus Maine MARILYN MCCLENDON serves as a collegiate ministry coordinator in Maine. She shares the gospel with college-aged young adults who are not part of any evangelical ministry, providing opportunities for them to connect with other students for conversation, Bible study, worship, discipleship and more. Maine has 42 higher education campuses, and less than one third provide any type of evangelical ministry. Only 3 percent of the population of Maine acknowledges a church affiliation, and less than 1 percent of those profess faith in Christ. The work, though a blessing, can be difficult and discouraging. Pray that college students would have soft hearts toward the gospel and that campus administrators would be open to evangelical ministry on campus.

Sharing God’s Truth North Africa and Middle East Tarik* had no more funds for the small school he operates where Syrian refugee children learn about God’s love for them. If not for the school, many of the boys could follow extremist groups. Barring a miracle, he would have to close the school.

Speaking with Urgency Sub-Saharan Africa IMB missionary ROBERT LANE listened as a local believer in South Sudan made plans to return to his village to share the gospel. Then the man received a message: His village had been attacked on eight sides. Most of his people were killed and their houses burned. His sister ran for her life, her baby in her arms and an AK–47 on her back. Her husband was already dead. “We speak with urgency not because people are getting old and dying without Jesus,” said Robert, “but because they are being killed before we can get to them.” Continue giving through the Cooperative Program so missionaries can share Christ in extreme places. Ephesians 4:11-13 Christians are expected to grow. Various leaders have been provided to help us mature in Christlikeness. Spiritual growth usually has an outward expression. For most Christians, at some point, spiritual growth is expressed as growth in giving. The preceding "Missionary Moment" was made possible by gifts to the Southern Baptist Association Cooperative Program, which is supported by several Clay County churches who are members of the Booneville Baptist Association which consists of 25 churches in Clay and Owsley counties which are affiliated with the Southern Baptist Convention and the Kentucky Baptist Convention.
