Dear Friends and Co-Labourers,
Cassie and I greet you in the name of our wonderful Saviour the Lord Jesus Christ. We are so very grateful for your faithful prayers, your financial support, and your friendship. We could not do what God has called us to do without you. From the bottom of our hearts we thank you.
Most churches have begun to at least try to resume somewhat of a normal schedule of services since the start of the worldwide pandemic. Therefore, Cassie and I have been very busy with missions conferences and special missions Sundays. It has been such a blessing to see pastors realize the need to keep world evangelism in front of God’s people even during these unprecedented days. The work of God must go on! There is no time to waste! Truly the hour is late, and the need to reach the world with the Gospel has never been greater! Our hearts have been blessed to hear of many churches doing even more for missions recently than they have ever done before. To God be the glory! Thank you, Pastor, for your burden and vision as well as your determination to “keep the main thing the main thing.” Only eternity will reveal the extent of your efforts as you lead God’s people to do more for missions.
Recently, I had the joy of preaching a missions conference at the Sumter Baptist Temple of Sumter, South Carolina, where Brother Mike Westmoreland serves as the Pastor. What a great few days! The first night of the meeting while preaching out of John chapter six, I reminded the SBT family of the little lad that gave his little lunch to the Lord. I also reminded them that just as God used that little lad’s lunch in a mighty way to feed the multitude, God can and will use our “little lunch” as well. The very next night of the meeting a young lady by the name of Valerie, with her dad standing by her side, gladly told me that she had made the decision to give her “little lunch” to the Lord. Hallelujah! After the service that night, several other teens lined up to tell me the same thing. Another told me she felt that God had specifically called her to serve Him in missions! What a blessing to actually see real missions revival in the hearts of God’s people. Thank you, Pastor Westmoreland and SBT family, for your passion for world evangelism. My heart was both encouraged and challenged as a result of our few days together.
I also want to thank you again for praying for the software transition for our home office that I mentioned in my last prayer letter. Please continue to pray for this need. Our MWBM missionaries are much too busy with their own ministries for them to have to even remotely be concerned with getting their monthly suppprt in a timely manner. If all goes as planned, this new software will enable us to serve our missionary families even more effectively in the days to come. Our office staff has worked tirelessly on the behalf of each MWBM family and have determined to continue to do so. I never cease to be amazed at their level of commitment to what our home office must do on a daily basis in order for each missionary family to remain busy on their prospective field. I am challenged daily by their faithfulness. Thank you dear friends! You are doing a wonderful work for the Lord!
In closing, Cassie and I would ask that you join us in prayer for safety as we travel. We have missions conferences planned as far north as Maine and as far south as Florida within the next quarter. Most importantly, we desire and seek God’s touch to be used in a mighty way to “fan the flame of world evangelism” in the hearts of God’s people. With your help and by God’s grace, we therefore continue by faith.
For the sake of souls,
Dr Scott Caudill
President, General Director
