     These were the topics Ron addressed the men with at a Pastor-Church Worker retreat in Paxton, Illinois in  March.  Ron was pleased to renew acquaintances with several men who were his classmates in Bible College and Seminary.

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.”  Psalm 126:5

Mission~ Building for Eternity was the theme for the missions conference at Bethel Baptist Church of Santa Ana, California held in March.  It was a blessing to be with Dr. Dan Davidson and the wonderful people of Bethel!

God used His Word to speak to hearts regarding “The Responsibility of the local church to missionaries”, “Giving to Faith Promise Missions” and “How to effectively pray for missionaries”.  We look forward to see how God is going to increase the faith of His people in regards to reaching their Faith Promise Goal for the coming year.  With God all things are possible!
Text Box: “Mission Impossible” was the theme emphasized throughout the week long missions conference at Calvary Baptist Church, San Francisco in April. Of course it was an honor to return as keynote speaker to the church where we ministered for 26 years and where God ultimately began working on our hearts regarding missions and missionaries. It was a thrill to be with missionaries Matt and Susan Yieter, (Cameroon), Brian and Rebecca Brock, (church planter in Apple Valley, CA), Tom and Sara Horton, (ministering at Camp Ironwood in California) and Dave and Diane Ferris, (Philippines). Pastor Mike Allen continues to encourage the people of CBC to get involved in the lives of their missionary family. The highlight of the week was a Birthday Party held on Thursday evening. Church members participated by bringing items the missionaries listed; what a joy to watch the delight in children and adults as God supplied so many of their needs and even some of their wants! We look forward to hearing that the people of CBC reach their Faith Promise Goal for the year and perhaps even surpassing it.
