Dear Friends and Co Labourers,
It is hard to believe it has been eight years since Cassie and I left the pastorate in order to serve with Macedonia World Baptist Missions. Many of you have partnered with us from the very beginning for which we are so very grateful. Please know we do not take your partnership for granted and pray for you regularly. We are honored to be a part of your missions family. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your prayers and faithful support. Only eternity will reveal the true worth of our labors together.
Just since our last prayer letter our travels to “fan the flame of world evangelism” have taken us through North and South Carolina, Illinois, Tennessee, Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, our home state of Georgia, and even to our nation’s capitol in Washington, DC. We praise the Lord for safety on the roads! We also praise the Lord for open doors to assist pastors in challenging churches to do more to reach the world with the Gospel. Many seeds have been sown, and we are trusting the Lord for the harvest.
We have also been busy here in our home office. We have just finished hosting the Georgia Youth Fellowship where eight church youth groups were represented. Not only did it prove to be a great time of fun and fellowship but also a time of great contemplation as well. Each of us who attended were challenged to give our lives in service to the Lord. We are already looking forward to hosting the fellowship again in the spring of 2023. Please help us pray that God would raise up another generation of missionaries.
We are excited for MWBM to host the “Reach the World Youth Conference” on Saturday, June 18. Registrations continue to come in, and we are planning, preparing, and praying for a life changing day. Several MWBM missionaries will be teaching and preaching. We pray this day will prove to be a great catalyst for labourers in the Lord’s harvest. For more information log on to mwbm.org or call our conference director Brother Nathan Saunders at 406-360-9392. Cassie and I both look forward to seeing you here!
I am thrilled that within the next few weeks we will be having two different interviews with potential MWBM missionaries: one for the New England area and another for the Western USA. Truly the hour is late, and the need has never been greater. Will you go that the world might know the Saviour? If not you, who? If not now, when?
Please join me in prayer for our Orientation that will begin Monday, June 20. A great week of training, fellowship, and services is planned for our attending Macedonia families. Our families in the Western USA will also be having their orientation in Buffalo, Wyoming, in July. These are busy days but exciting days. What a thrill to serve God!
Finally, please join us in prayer for labourers. Truly the harvest is plenteous, but the labourers are few. Since the need has never been greater, Cassie and I are determined by God’s grace to continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
March 2022

Dear Friends and Co Labourers,
As Paul penned his letter to the church of Philippi, he was careful to say of his friends there according to Philippians 4:16b, “…ye sent once and again unto my necessity.” Since May of 2014 many of you have done the same for the Caudill family. Therefore, from the bottom of our hearts Cassie and I thank you so very much. Our wonderful Lord has worked through your prayers, friendship, and financial support in order to sustain us and for that we are so grateful.
The new year always proves to be a busy time for the staff here at our home office. I often say that our office deals with the part of world evangelism that very few people ever stop to think of. For instance, preparing 1099’s for over 120 missionary families in preparation for tax season is no small task. However, the work must be done if those families are to stay on the field preaching the Gospel. I am glad to report that thanks to the hard work of our office staff that work has been accomplished, and therefore the work of the Lord can continue around the world. To God be the glory!
In February I was blessed to be a part of a “Reach the World” youth conference at the New Testament Baptist Church of Floral City, Florida, where Brother Ledford Hodges serves as the pastor. One hundred twenty young people from several different churches were there, and God blessed in a mighty way. MWBM missionary Nathan Saunders does a great job organizing and setting up these meetings. Our hope is to have several throughout the year that God might work through them in order to raise up another generation of missionaries. Pastor, would you like to host a “Reach the World” youth conference? MWBM can help! Give Brother Nathan Saunders a call at 406-360-9392. He is looking forward to hearing from you.
Recently while preaching in Hampton, Virginia, Cassie and I had the privilege of visiting with MWBM missionaries Blake and Haley Muscott. The Muscotts have a very unique ministry reaching the Seaman of the World from the shippings ports there around the Tidewater area. The world has literally come to them, and God is using them to reach the world in a mighty way. We are very grateful that God is still in the business of calling quality young couples like the Muscotts to accomplish His will. We are also praying regularly that God would raise up more couples to do the same. Truly the hour is late, and the need has never been greater. Will you go?
Cassie and I continually desire your prayers for safety as we travel. As we enter into the spring, opportunities abound for us to “fan the flame of world evangelism.” The Lord has been so good to fill our calendar with missions conferences and missions Sundays. Between the work here at the home office and special missions meetings, we are as busy as we have ever been in the ministry. We could not do it without you! Therefore with your help and by God’s grace we will continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
Dr. Scott Caudill

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,
June 2021

Psalms 126:3, The LORD hath done great things for us; whereof we are glad. It was seven years ago this May that Cassie and I left the pastorate after almost twenty two years in order to become a full time part of the ministry of Macedonia World Baptist Missions. Several of you have labored with us now for each of those seven years, and through you God has supplied our every need. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you. We are honored to work with you in order that we together might reach the world with the Gospel. Truly the hour is late, and the need has never been greater.
Many of you have been praying for our recent software transition here at our home office. I am glad to be able to report that the new software is currently up and running. During the difficult transition not one missionary missed receiving monthly support or special offerings. This is a great testimony to the grace of God and the hours of labor performed by the office staff. Thank you MWBM office staff. To God be the glory!
Besides the labor in our office, the Lord has certainly kept us busy in missions conferences and missions emphasis Sundays. Just since our last prayer letter we have been in North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, Indiana, and Georgia. One of the joys of our lives is helping local pastors “fan the flame of world evangelism” in their churches. We certainly praise the Lord for the increases in faith promise giving that we have been blessed to see and the lives we have seen surrendered to do God’s will. One of the highlights of the quarter was seeing a young teenage boy saved during the missions conference at the Central Baptist Church of Ocala, Florida, where Dr. Andy Bloom serves as the pastor. What a meeting! What a God we serve!
It was also thrilling to recently host several new missionary families here at our home office during our two day mini orientation. There were church planters to the Middle East, Idaho, North Dakota, and Mexico here. It proved to be a productive time of training and fellowship for each missionary family. What a joy to welcome new missionaries and friends to the MWBM family! We pray daily during our devotions that God would raise up even more.
Our print shop recently finished an order of one million Gospel tracts that will be shipped to Honduras within the next few days. Some of you have graciously given to print those tracts, and others have given to ship them. Only eternity will reveal the true worth of our labor together. Thank you!
We are so excited about three special opportunities to reach out specifically to young people in a missions emphasis. MWBM just hosted the quarterly meeting of the Georgia Youth Fellowship where over one hundred teenagers were on our campus for a rally meeting. I had the opportunity to preach to them about the great need of the Gospel around the world. In June we will also host the “Reach the World Youth Conference.” We will have missionaries from around the world teaching classes and preaching to young folks who are considering giving their lives for world evangelism. Also, I will have the privilege to preach at a missions youth camp in Roanoke, Alabama. Please help us pray that the Lord will send forth laborers into his harvest from these meetings.
In closing, Cassie and I always ask our friends to pray for our own soul winning efforts. As long as God gives us breath to breathe it is our heart’s desire to be shining lights for Him. Therefore, with your help and by His grace we will continue BY FAITH.

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.

Dear friends and co-labourers,
I Corinthians 15:58 says, “Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye stedfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.” What a joy to know that our labour for the Lord and His great cause is not in vain. I am convinced that only eternity will reveal the true worth of our work together to reach the world with the Gospel. From the bottom of our hearts Cassie and I thank you for your faithful prayers and financial support.
Whereas the month of December slows down quite a bit for us at least as far as traveling is concerned, this January and February have been some of our busiest months to date. I have found that many churches who have a desire and drive to reach the world with the Gospel utilize the first two months of the new year to emphasize missions in their church. Therefore the Lord has filled our calendar with mission’s Sundays and mission’s conferences as well. Week after week, mile after mile, praying, preaching, and preparing to assist the next pastor and church family focus on world evangelism is what God has put in our hearts to do. It has been absolutely thrilling to see the Lord move upon the hearts of His people not only concerning giving but also going themselves as well. In fact, I have been amazed at the number of interviews we have had with new missionary candidates just since our last prayer letter. We have met with missionary families that God has called to take the Gospel to Ecuador, South Africa, California, and Northwestern USA, as well as an international ministry reaching mariners based out of Norfolk, Virginia. It has been such a thrill to meet these precious families who have willingly laid their lives down in service for our wonderful Lord. I look forward in the days to come to working with their sending churches and pastors in order to help them do what God has put in their heart to do. We also make it a matter of prayer weekly here at our office that God would raise up more labourers for His work. Truly the harvest is great, but the labourers are few. Who will go that the world might know the Saviour?
Our staff has certainly been busy here at our home office as well. Of course every new year our office works diligently to prepare the necessary tax forms for every MWBM family. This alone constitutes hours and hours of labor for our office staff. I am careful to mention that, because quite honestly it is a part of missions that very few people ever think about. However, it is a job that must be done in order for the missionaries to focus on their work. Therefore, I want to thank our office staff here at Macedonia that work diligently to take this load off of the sending church, pastor, and missionary. On top of that, our staff has been training for months now in order to implement a new computer and accounting system which should go into effect April 1. Would you please join us in prayer that all will go well with this transition? Our missionaries and their works are depending upon it. We certainly would appreciate your prayers for these needs.
In the month of July 2020, Cassie and I plan on attending Macedonia’s next European Church Planters Conference with our European field director, Dr. Roger Baker. It is looking like the conference will be held in Germany again this year. Would you please join us in prayer concerning the trip? The plane tickets usually cost around $3000 for the two of us, and then there is lodging to consider as well. In the past God has always provided for these needs, and we believe with all of our hearts that He will do the same this time as well. Where He guides, He will provide! Thank you for praying with us for this need. It is certainly our heart’s desire to be a blessing to our nine families labouring for the Lord in Europe and the Middle East.
There are many highlights I could mention over the course of the last quarter, however one stands out among them all. Cassie and I had a wonderful “World Missions Sunday” in January with Pastor Alan Sinclair and the wonderful people of the Berean Baptist Church of Ellenwood, Georgia. What a blessing after I finished preaching Sunday morning to see a teenage boy walk the aisle and trust Christ as his Saviour. I am glad God is still in the business of saving old sinners!
We could not do what God has called us to do without you. Thank you for letting God use you. Thank you for your faithfulness. Thank you for labouring with us. Because of the cause of Christ and with your help, we will continue by faith.
Sincerely,
Dr. Scott Caudill
