Partnership and Connections

July was a busy and encouraging month full of fellowship and new friendships. We visited two churches in Michigan. Then we got to spend a weekend with our sending Church and celebrate two baptisms, ahead of 6 weeks of travel. Half way through the month, my in-laws arrived from Peru and my Pastor joined me in driving to Chicago to welcome them and pick them up. Not only are we glad that they are here with us for the next several weeks but they are also a great help when traveling with a toddler. We are thankful for their willingness to help! During my trip out west they were a great help to my wife. We are thankful to our church and pastor for the special effort they did in making them feel welcome by having a bilingual service their first Sunday here.

In July I had the opportunity to visit:

Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in South Haven, MI - Pastor Larry Phillips.
First Missionary Baptist Church in Buchanan, MI - Pastor Waymond Bond.
Sheridan First Baptist Church in Sheridan, IN (VBS) - Pastor Jason Rumph.
Rocky Mountain Missionary Baptist Association - Hosted by Calvary Missionary Baptist Church in Gillette, WY - Pastor Darrell Ray.
Victory Missionary Baptist Church in Cheyenne, WY - Pastor Richard Crain.
Greeley Missionary Baptist Church in Greeley, CO - Pastor Ike Thompson.
White Oak Baptist Church in Nancy, KY - Pastor Josh McClendon.
Clay Hill Baptist Church in Somerset, KY - Pastor Jeff Lockard.



We are very thankful for each of these churches for their hospitality, generosity and prayers.
We also had the opportunity to briefly visit Grace Baptist in Hope, IN as the Macedonian Builders worked with them to build a new Sanctuary and classrooms. We are excited for them, and are thankful for their love and support.

One thing I cherish about our associated work is the connections that are formed around the furtherance of the Gospel. We serve a mighty God who brings people together under himself. When I was a kid my family did not leave town without an ABA book with the hope of finding a church of like faith and order as we traveled. I learned then that regardless of where I was in the country if I was with like minded believers I felt right at home. Ten years ago I took my first international trip and went to Peru, during that first two week trip I learned that to be even more true. In July, I attended the Rocky Mountain Missionary Baptist Association meeting in Gillette, WY. I was reminded of this truth once again. I wanted to attend this meeting because it is the closest regional association to where we will be and I wanted to meet the men serving in this region of the country. I was very glad to be accompanied by my friend Bro. Levi Boudra, who pastors our newest supporting church, First Landmark MBC in Marion, IN (I am thankful for the support he has been throughout this process). We enjoyed the preaching of God’s Word and the fellowship with these new brothers, our time with them solidified in my heart further not only the need of the Gospel in Utah but the great need in the West. Levi and I were encouraged by them as I pray they were by us. Thankful for new fellowship in Christ.



Special Prayer

Pray for Lourdes and me as we travel to Utah August 15-18.
Pray that God will open the door for us to be able to spend an extended period of time in Utah during the winter months as deputation travel slows down due to weather.

Special Thanks

To the Cosme Family who is seeking to join us in Utah. Throughout this process so far God has grown our relationship with them into that of a team, that has been exciting and encouraging to experience. They helped us making an animated video. We already see their commitment with this mission and can't wait to keep serving together. Please pray for the visa paperwork and all the doors that God will open for them.



We want to Thank God for our newest supporting church. First Landmark MBC in Marion, IN has decided to partner with us monthly.

Currently we have around 30% of our estimated launch budget saved up and are receiving about 10% of what we predict needing in monthly support. We want to praise God for this and thank those that are giving toward this new mission.

Marching forward

March, was a very busy month for the Teague Family with many blessings along the way. During the month of March we traveled almost 4400 miles, through 9 different states. We had opportunities to share the burden God has put on our hearts with 8 different churches in 5 different states as well as attend 6 days of coaching and training at Sublett Road Baptist Church in Arlington, TX through the Missionary Training Ministry (MTM) a ministry of Flatwoods Baptist Church in Mountain View, AR we are thankful for both these churches and many others for their investments in missions, and missionaries. We’d like to say a special thanks to all of the churches we visited during the month of March for letting us share our burden and encouraging us.  Victory Missionary Baptist Church in Seymour, IN - Pastor Kenny Roberson Grace Baptist Church in Hope, IN - Pastor Scott Bourland Hopewell Baptist Church in Cunningham, TN - Pastor Terry Romine First Landmark Missionary Baptist Chruch in Marion, IN ...

The new journey begins | Vol. 1

A little over a year ago God sparked an interest in my heart for the state of Utah, after seeing some statistics revealing their great need of the Gospel and Local New Testament Churches. In May of 2024, my family and I took a trip out to Utah to see in person the areas we had researched and prayed about. During that time we were able to meet locals and learn more about the people and the culture, we also had opportunities to share our faith. While there we also met with and worshiped with pastors of some local  English and Spanish-speaking Baptist churches to learn more about the area and the need. It was an encouragement, and we went home with much more to pray about. After much prayer and council, my wife and I have determined that we feel God is leading our family to plant a church in the State of Utah. My home church affirmed our calling and has decided to send us as their missionaries, together with them we’d ask that you consider coming along-side us in prayer and support. S...

JESUS was calling, and he just said YES!

After a lot of prayer and years of discernment our dear friend Joel Cosme announced his call for the ministry the last August. “ And the Lord came, and stood, and called as at other times, Samuel, Samuel. Then Samuel answered, Speak; for thy servant heareth.” 1 Samuel 3:10 Our family has known Bro. Joel for more than a decade, Lourdes got to know him at church when both of them where in college.    In her late teens, they went to the same college, she studied Corporate Communications and he studied Systems Engineering. I got to meet him and his now wife in my first trip to Peru in August of 2015, since that trip he has shared with me about his time in Utah, and how this state had a special place in his life. This just makes us think how special the month of August is becoming in our lives. In December of 2023, when I felt God was leading our family to be church planters in the State of Utah, I began to pray for a family that could go with us. Bro. Joel and his family came imme...
