Dear Co-Labourers and Friends,
Matthew 28:5-7a says, “And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And GO quickly, and TELL his disciples that he is risen from the dead;…” When these ladies witnessed for themselves the empty tomb that first resurrection morning, they were instructed by the angel to GO and TELL. As a part of the same family, we too have been commanded to do the same. That is the work of world evangelism. That is why we go. That is why we give. That is why we get involved in the great commission. It is not a suggestion to be ignored; it is a command to be obeyed! GO and TELL!
Cassie and I want to say thank you again for your support prayerfully and financially. With your help we are able to more effectively go and tell. Rest assured we never take your partnership for granted and count it a joy to be your representatives to the world. Many of you were kind enough to send a special Christmas gift last quarter along with your regular support. What a blessing you have been to us! From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you.
The Lord has certainly kept us busy since our last letter. Thank you for continuing to help us pray for the software transition here at our home office. If all goes as planned, by the time you read this letter it should be up and running. That is not only the result of a lot of prayer but also literally months of hard work on behalf of our office staff. We have also been busy in our office interviewing new MWBM missionaries. I am very excited about these missionaries reaching the Middle East as well as the Pacific Northwest with the Gospel. Also, we continue to train missionaries through Macedonia World Baptist Institute of World Evangelism. In fact, you can take classes yourself! Log on to mwbminstitute.org and check it out. Then of course, week after week God has opened doors for Cassie and me to help Pastors stir God’s peoples’ hearts for reaching the world with the Gospel. What a joy it has been to see churches increase their missions giving in spite of a world wide pandemic! Rest assured friend, God is not through just yet! I have been blessed in conference after conference to see Him work in the hearts of His people in a mighty way. Believing that God would give through them what He would have never given to them, one church increased their missions giving by $5000. Another church has determined to more than double what they had given the previous year for God’s glory. I realize it takes more than money to get a missionary to the field, but what a wonderful way for God’s people to not only partner with missionaries around the world, but to also exercise their faith as well. Thank you for giving to the cause of Christ! Only eternity will reveal the true worth of it.
In closing, would you please continue to pray for our safety as we travel? Would you please continue to pray that God would work through our own personal soul winning efforts to reach others with the Gospel? Would you please help us pray that God would raise up more labourers for His harvest? On a personal note, our son Joshua will be getting married March 26. Please help us pray for him and his fiancé Amanda as they begin their lives together. Believing that you will continue to pray for us, Cassie and I therefore continue BY FAITH.
For the sake of souls,
Dr Scott Caudill
President & General Director
