On the Road Again!

February began deputation again, and it has certainly been a blessing. In February we visited the following churches and youth Rallies.



  • Calvary BC Magnolia, AR - Pastor Micah Carter.
  • Macedonia Association Youth Rally at Hickory Grove MBC Newport, AR.
  • Oak Grove MBC Searcy, AR - Pastor Alan Payne.
  • Emmanuel MBC Malvern, AR - Pastor Carol Koon.
  • Mount Hope Association Youth Rally at Faith MBC Ozark, AR.
  • Calvary BC Ozark, AR - Pastor Evan Blackford.
  • Bethel MBC Paris, AR - Pastor Jeremy Jones.
  • Concord MBC Omaha, TX - Pastor Donovan Jarvis.
  • Faith Mission Conference at Nevill’s Chapel MBC Mount Pleasant, TX - Pastor Shawn Findley.

We returned to Arkansas the first week of February and were thankful to settle back into the mission home at Mt. Zion MBC in Malvern, AR. After missing two Sundays due to weather and sickness, it was refreshing to worship together as a family before resuming travel.

That evening we visited Calvary in Magnolia, I am greatful for the opportunity and the fellowship. I thank God for this church’s investment in Indiana, having sent missionaries to start two churches in Bloomington and Hope, Indiana. We were also thankful to be invited to Oak Grove, a church connected to three of my former pastors, and welcomed at Emmanuel in Malvern, where there are longstanding ties to my home church. Many of our original members—including my dad’s family—came from the Malvern/Hot Springs area when General Motors relocated families to Indiana, making this visit especially meaningful. It amazes me how God moves people to accomplish his will.



Later in the month, we were welcomed into Calvary in Ozark and Bethel in Paris, my pastor’s home church. Calvary hosted a chili cook-off, a City Reach fundraiser after the service, providing a sweet time of fellowship. Visiting Bethel was a special blessing, as I have heard my pastor speak highly of them for years.

We thank the Lord for the connections He has given us in ministry and for each church that has encouraged us along the way.


We finished the month visiting Concord MBC in Omaha, TX, ahead of the Mission Conference at Nevill's Chapel in Mount Pleasant, TX. Concord was warm and engaged as I presented, which is always encouraging. The Mission Conference was a tremendous blessing. We saw God move in a mighty way, particularly in the area of intercultural ministry, for which I praise Him. After the Friday evening service, Bro. Shawn commented that our fellowship included people from America, Mexico, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Japan, the Philippines - and even a redneck. It was a reminder that the Gospel tears down barriers. There is something truly beautiful about witnessing unity in Christ in the midst of cultural diversity.


A Generation on Mission

One special blessing this month was the number of youth activities I was able to participate in. After three weeks of planning and preparation, my wife, daughter, and I had the opportunity to race cars in an Awana Grand Prix at Mt. Zion. We were thankful to be included.



I also had the privilege of sharing our burden and encouraging young people to consider God's plan for their future at two youth rallies: first with the Macedonia Association, the group I grew up attending church camp with, and then with the Mount Hope Association, where my pastor is from. Both meetings were a blessing, especially seeing young people step up in leadership and service. Not only am I grateful for these opportunities, but l am also looking forward to two mission-focused youth rallies in March - one in person and one virtual. I continue to pray for the next generation as God prepares them for this ever-changing world. They need the support, counsel, and love of seasoned saints. My prayer is that they will see the Gospel continue to advance into new and unreached areas, and that they will be examples of Christlike conduct and love in every area of their lives.






"Let no man despise thy youth; but be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity. Till I come, give attendance to reading, to exhortation, to doctrine." 1 Timothy 4:12-13

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...

Preparing for Transition

September was an encouraging and edifying month. We were ministered to at each church we visited. We visited: The Refuge Baptist Church Plainfield, IN - Pastors Jonathan Woodring and Cody Right. Madison Ave Missionary Baptist Church Kentwood, MI - Pastor Nate Lowe. Hyde Park Baptist Church West Monroe, LA - Pastor Trey Emory. September looks slower but God did as much this month as he’s been doing all along. We started out with The Refuge Baptist in Plainfield. We participated in their   Share your Story   series where we were interviewed about what brought us to a point of realizing that God was leading us to Utah. It was a wonderful time to share with them, we are thankful for the Woodring family for their support throughout our Marriage and my ministry. We went the following week to Kentwood, MI, and had a wonderful time there with Bro. Nate Lowe and his church. The week prior to this visit my wife Lourdes had a death in her family. She was unable to travel to Peru and be w...

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 (VB...
