As Cassie and I send our last prayer letter for the year of 2024, we do so with grateful hearts. It has been ten years now since the Lord led us to leave the pastorate in order to serve at Macedonia. During the last decade, God and His people have been so good to us. We are thankful to labor with you to reach the world with the Gospel. From the bottom of our hearts, we thank you for your friendship and for your faithfulness!
As we reflect upon the year, we cannot help but contemplate the goodness of our wonderful Lord. He has allowed us to travel thousands of miles to share the Gospel and to help and assist those He has called to plant churches. We praise the Lord for a fruitful trip to Africa to visit two different countries and three different Macedonia missionary families while there. Our hearts have been thrilled as we have seen local churches determine to do more to reach the world with the Gospel through both going and giving. We have rejoiced as God has sent MWBM more missionary families to partner with. It has certainly been our joy this year as well to continue to labor with local churches and pastors in helping get their missionaries to the field and to sustain them while they are there. On a personal note, Cassie and I became grandparents this year. Our son Joshua and our daughter-in-law Amanda presented us with beautiful Everly Rose Caudill on September 30th. We rejoice in that she is healthy and continues to grow every day. To God be the glory! We certainly thank Him for another wonderful year of ministry and by faith look forward to what the Lord will do in the days to come. He is able and certainly worthy of our best efforts.
We also continue to move forward with our Pavilion Project here at our headquarters in Hoschton, Georgia. Some of you have given towards this project, and we appreciate your help very much. We have applied for the needed permits from our county and, Lord willing, look forward to getting started after the first of the new year. We continue to pray that the remaining $65,000.00 needed to complete the project will come in soon. Several of our missionary families have given sacrificially for which we are grateful. I have again included the QR code that will give you more information as well. Would you prayerfully consider helping us?
Please hold these dates on your calendar! Our yearly “Reach the World Youth Conference” will be held next year on Saturday, April 12. Our Labourers Together Pastor’s Banquet will be held Tuesday evening, November 11 during our National Conference at the Peoples Baptist Church of McDonough, Georgia. We are already looking forward to a wonderful time together. We would love for you to join us. For more information, log on to mwbm.org.
Since our last letter, Cassie and I have been blessed to see three precious souls saved during the meetings that we have been a part of. We rejoice in the fact that God still saves old sinners! We also rejoice in the true meaning of Christmas. We trust you and yours will have a wonderful Christmas and a fruitful new year. Thank you again for your partnership in this great work for God! It is by God’s grace and with your help, we will continue by faith.

Dear Friends,
The Caudills at the Fundamental Baptist Church of Tingandogo, Burkina Faso.
Since our last letter we have traveled to and returned from Africa having visited two different countries and three different Macedonia missionary families while there. It was certainly a life changing trip that presented each of us with an opportunity to share the Gospel ourselves. I was blessed to preach sixteen different times for our missionaries’ church plants and meet several national pastors that I enjoyed getting to know personally. Cassie spoke in two different ladies meetings, one in which three ladies in Ghana trusted Christ as their Saviour. To God be the glory! We again want to express our thanks to those of you that helped with the expense of the trip. We are convinced that only eternity will reveal the fruit that will abound to your account as a result of the investment you have made. Thank you so very much. The Lord has kept us both safe and well, and we are tremendously thankful. Praise His good name!
We also want to thank you for praying for our reFresh week here at our Home Office that we hosted in June. It proved to be a very profitable week as a record number of our missionary families were both equipped and encouraged for the ministry that God has called them to do. Weeks like this are only a part of the services our board provides for the missionary families we are blessed to labor with. We would love for your family to be a part of the next reFresh week. If God has called you to go, we would love to help you get there! For more information log on to mwbm.org today.
Over the course of the last few years, as Macedonia has grown so has the need for expanding our meeting and training facilities. Currently, we annually host the Reach the World Youth Conference with over two hundred young people coming to our campus to learn about opportunities for missionary service around the world. We have also experienced cramped quarters during our training classes and meetings for our new missionary candidates. As a result of this our Executive Board has unanimously decided to build a covered pavilion to serve these as well as other functions. I have included a QR code on this quarter’s prayer letter which in turn will lead you to a short video explaining The Pavilion Project in much greater detail. Currently, we have about $112,000 set aside for this need and are trusting the Lord for the remaining funds to complete the project. Would you prayerfully consider what the Lord would have you and your church to do to help? Thank you for laboring with us.
Truly the hour is late, and the need to reach the world has never been greater! Therefore with your help and by God’s grace, Cassie and I continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
