We Preach The Word To Reach The World

In Following The Lord Back To Northern Ireland: 
Romans 12:1 I BESEECH you therefore, brethren ,
by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice,
holy, acceptable unto God,
which is your reasonable service

The Lord has never asked anyone to do an "unreasonable service." 
We read of many unique callings God placed on the patriarchs of old;  Moses called to deliver Israel from Egypt, Noah to build an ark, David to lead God's people, and the list goes on and on.
The service God has placed is this age of Grace is such a simple task compared to the saints of old, yet it is so much neglected, and that is "To tell the World of Jesus."

We are church planting missionaries called to the field of Northern Ireland.
 I pray to keep Jesus and the Word of God in the middle and in the front our ministry. 
It is all because of Him and all because of Eternity.

  We ask that you pray for us as we carry the gospel
to lost souls in Northern Ireland.

We served as missionaries with MWBM to Northern Ireland from June 2000 till November of 2008. During this time the Lord allowed us to see Roe Valley Baptist Church organized and established through the salvation and discipleship of precious Irish souls. The church was turned over to another man and remains a great gospel influence in that area as a New Testament Church.

At the end of those two terms in Northern Ireland, feeling that we had achieved what the Lord had sent us to do, I came off  the field thinking our work in Ireland was accomplished.

I now realize that God was not finished with us in the country of Northern Ireland. God has brought me to understand how He has prepared us for the work in Northern Ireland. We have a working knowledge of the people and permanent resident visas that allow us a hassle free settlement in the country. Truly, the most important thing of all is that I have a calling from God to plant churches in Northern Ireland. There are still tens of thousands of people who have never heard the Gospel and town after town exists without any kind of a Baptist or Gospel preaching church.

God has placed the town of Strabane on our hearts, a town of nearly 20,000 people with a reachable population of over 200,000. The town is 90% Catholic and has never had a Baptist church anywhere in the area. 

I feel the Lord will allow us to establish a local New Testament church that will have the presence of the Gospel as an outreach to the community. A church that will stand as a beacon of light so that no man in that area will be without excuse.

I have a beautiful wife and wonderful children that have always been an asset to my ministry and very supportive of the work.  My pastor, Bro. Floyd Perry, and the congregation of my home church, Emmanuel Baptist of Granite Falls, NC have also been very supportive in this mission work.  I have been blessed to have been a member of this church since 1992.
We are once again going through Macedonia World Baptist Missions as they have proved to be a tremendous group of men and women who assist the missionary, both on and off the foreign field, without bypassing the local church.

By God’s grace we will soon be back on the field. If you feel the Lord would allow us to be part of your mission outreach, or would like for us to present our work and calling to Northern Ireland in your church, we would be most be grateful.

Thank you for your time and for your prayers.

I Praise God for His protection, guidance, 
and longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, 
but that all should come to repentance.
