Dear Friends,
As Cassie and I enter into this Christmas season, we do so with grateful hearts. The Lord has been so gracious to allow us the privilege of partnering with local churches in order to reach the world with the Gospel. We certainly have a message to share with the world, don’t we? Jesus was born to die, so that we through Him might live. It was for that very reason the angel told the lowly shepherds in Luke 2:11, “For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.” From the bottom of our hearts we thank you for allowing us to be a part of your missions family. I am convinced that only eternity will reveal the true value of our partnership together. Thank you for your faithfulness!
Many of you are aware of the fact that our Pastor, Dr. David McCoy, went home to be with the Lord recently. My how it broke our hearts to learn of his passing! We will miss him every day while looking forward to seeing him again soon. Please continue to remember his wife, Ms. Trish, as well as the rest of his family. Our sending church, Peoples Baptist Church of McDonough, Georgia, has called Dr. Thomas Satterfield to serve as our Pastor. We love the Satterfield family and are so grateful God has given them liberty to accept the call. We are trusting the Lord for great things in the days to come.
The fall has proven to be one of our busiest times of the year. Many churches use a harvest theme and schedule their missions conference during this time. What a blessing it has been to see churches follow the faith of their pastor and determine to invest more than ever in reaching souls that Jesus died for with the Gospel! Our travels to “fan the flame of world evangelism” have taken us to New York, Indiana, North and South Carolina, and of course our home state of Georgia in the last two months. We praise the Lord for every mile of safety He has so graciously provided. Thank you for praying for our safety while on the road.
Another highlight of the quarter was our bi-annual MWBM conference hosted by the Zion Hill Baptist Church of Greenville, South Carolina, where Brother Danny Moore serves as the Pastor. Pastor Moore and the church family did an outstanding job hosting the conference, and it proved to be a blessing to all that attended. Cassie and I enjoyed every moment of fellowship with the thirty five missionary families that were there. One of the greatest blessings of the conference was seeing a young lady saved! She was invited by the missionary wives to attend one of the morning services. You never know how far an invitation to church will go. Because someone cared enough to invite this young lady to church, she heard the Gospel and was gloriously saved. To God be the glory!
Since our last prayer letter Cassie and I were blessed to be able to lead two people to the Lord. While we rejoice in the opportunity to help local churches get their missionaries to the field, there is nothing like personally leading others to the Lord. Just a few weeks ago after sharing the Gospel with a young father in Indiana, what a blessing it was to hear him call out to the Lord and ask Christ to save him. Cassie led a young lady to the Lord after a recent service in North Carolina. What a blessing as well as a specific answer to prayer. It is a joy to know that God is still in the business of saving old sinners. We like to remind ourselves often, world evangelism does not begin across the sea, it begins across the street! Remember, there is someone that only you can reach; will you?
In closing we want to thank you again for your faithful prayers and financial support. Jesus said in John 9:4, “I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work.” Truly the hour is late, and the need has never been greater. Therefore with your help and by God’s grace, Cassie and I will continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
Dr. Scott Caudill

Dear Friends,
Cassie and I greet you in the name of our wonderful Lord Jesus Christ. As always we want to thank you for your prayers as well as your financial support. We are honored to be a part of your missions family and count it a joy to labor with you to reach the world with the Gospel of Christ.
The Lord has been so gracious to allow us to be a part of several missions Sundays and conferences since our last letter. We are so appreciative for your prayers as we travel. Between meetings and missions trips we have traveled to or at least through sixteen different states this quarter. We praise the Lord for every safe mile He has granted for His glory. Thank you for praying for our safety on the road.
Throughout the course of our recent travels we were blessed to visit with one of our MWBM church planting families to South Dakota, Brother Jesse Hailey, his wife Melanie, and their children. The Lord is using this family in a mighty way in the Northwest US. Not only has God used Brother Hailey to plant a church in the state capital of Pierre, but having turned that church over to a pastor he has also planted the Elk Point Baptist Church of Elk Point, South Dakota, as well. Now, as a result of ten faithful years of pastoring the church, the Haileys believe that God would have them stay as the church’s full time pastor. It is always hard to see missionaries leave Macedonia, but I honestly do not mind losing them this way. Cassie and I are thrilled to know that as a result of the Hailey’s faithfulness two independent Baptist churches have been planted. Those churches not only continue to impact the state of South Dakota but the world as well through their own missions outreaches for the cause of Christ. To God be the glory! That is what New Testament missions is all about. Thank you for your faithfulness, Pastor Hailey! Macedonia World Baptist Missions rejoices in the partnership that was forged with you and your sending church over twenty years ago. My prayer is that God would raise up more families like yours in the days to come.
Another highlight of the quarter was to be able to preach the first missions conference of the Graceway Baptist Church of Washington DC, where Brother Brad Wells serves as the founding pastor. Brother Wells and his family planted the church in DC just a few years ago. What a great time to be in our nation’s capital: the week of July the fourth! I enjoyed preaching every night of the conference, but Saturday night proved to be very special. It was then I was able to stand and preach on the steps of the Supreme Court. While using I Timothy 2:1-4 I preached on three ways we can be a blessing to America. We can be a blessing to America by praying fervently, by living righteously, and by evangelizing faithfully. Those truths will become very evident as you and I study the first four verses of I Timothy 2. Are we really praying for our country? Are we living in a way that pleases the Lord? Are we busy about God’s business of reaching others with the Gospel? Truly the hour is late and the need to do so has never been greater! Thank you, Pastor Wells and Graceway Baptist Church, for a wonderful few days together.
In the home office, we not only continue our monthly services for our Macedonia families around the world, but we are also preparing for the MWBM conference September 26-29. This year’s conference will be hosted by the Zion Hill Baptist Church of Greenville, SC, where Brother Danny Moore serves as the pastor. Thus far, we have about thirty five missionary families planning on being a part. Please help us pray for a time of refreshment and revival for each of our MWBM families who will attend.
In closing, Cassie and I were blessed to share the Gospel recently with a man by the name of Jim. Jim is an older man that has never met Christ personally. He was somewhat receptive of our message for which we are grateful. Would you please help us pray that the seed of the Gospel that was sown in his heart would take root? We also have others on our hearts we are trying to reach as well. It is certainly our desire to be soul winners for God’s glory. World evangelism begins across the street!
May we never forget that the King’s business requires haste! Therefore, as a result of God’s good grace and your continued prayers and support, we will continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
