Fellowship & Team Building

Meeting Co-Laborers

The first Sunday of September started with a drive all over northern part the beautiful state of Utah. My wife and daughter were in Peru visiting family, and we did not hold our service in the park because the other family we meet with was traveling for Labor Day weekend. I took the opportunity to visit the only other ABA church in the state of Utah, Landmark MBC in Vernal. It was a beautiful day for the two-hour-and-45-minute drive through the mountains. Once there, I had a wonderful visit with this church family and was encouraged by their faithfulness. This was our first time meeting, and the only person I knew there was the late pastor’s wife, Sis. Cindy Still. It was a pleasure to meet several of the other members and share a meal with some of them after the service. Please continue to pray for this church as they prayerfully seek their next pastor. My prayer is that we will have more opportunities for fellowship in the future and that we can be a mutual encouragement to one another.

After that visit, I drove another three hours to Morgan, Utah, to visit the only BMA church in the state. This visit was also a great blessing. I was thankful to meet these fellow believers, be encouraged by them, and see the fruit of their ministry here in Utah.

Planning and Team Building

My wife and daughter traveled to Peru at the beginning of September, and I joined them later in the month. We attended two family events in September and were glad to be there for them. While in Peru, we also enjoyed fellowship with my wife’s home church in Trujillo, as well as the men who are now leading the church and their families.

One of these men is Bro. Joel Cosme, whom we hope will be able to join us on the field here in Utah in the future. We spent some time discussing plans for navigating the visa process for him and his family. Their help would be invaluable, given the substantial percentage of native Spanish speakers here in Utah County. In addition, we spent a couple of days with the Cosme family, Bro. Renato, and his wife, Camilla, at a home owned by my wife’s cousin on a nearby beach. We enjoyed time together with devotions, worship, prayer, and plenty of fellowship and conversation. I believe it was a blessing for all of us. There is something special about sitting on the beach with a guitar, worshiping the God of creation. I thank God for these brethren and for moments like these when we can pause and reflect on His greatness.

“Behold, how good and how pleasant it is For brethren to dwell together in unity!” Psalm‬ ‭133‬:‭1‬

Upcoming Travel

My family and I will be participating in two Faith Mission Promise Conferences in the coming months. We will be with Benchmark Baptist Fellowship in Fredericksburg, VA, from October 22–25 and with Southside Baptist Church in Smithville, MO, from November 19–22. If you are anywhere near either of these churches, I hope you’ll consider coming out to enjoy the fellowship and worship with us!

Additionally, I will be attending the Arkansas State Meeting of Missionary Baptist Churches on November 5-6 at Sharon Baptist Church in Benton, AR. I look forward to seeing many friends and enjoying a good time of fellowship. If you plan to attend, be sure to hunt me down and say hello! I will also be available to share with a church near Benton or Malvern on Wednesday evening, November 4. If your church would be interested in having me come and share, please reach out. I would love the opportunity to be with you!

You’ve Got Mail!

In addition to the VBS offerings I shared in previous months’ reports, youth from three different churches have sent cards and crafts letting us know that we are in their prayers. Special thanks to Landmark MBC, Mt. Enterprise, TX; First Baptist Church, Cave City, AR; and New Beginnings Baptist Church, Malvern, AR. These have been a blessing to receive!

Refreshing, Reflecting and Envisioning

  A New Year! We pray that you, your families, and your churches are off to a great start to this new year. God was so gracious to us throughout 2025, and we are excited to see what He will do in 2026. We thank each of you for your interest, support, and prayers over the last year—we would not be where we are without God’s people behind us.                                           During the month of January we had no deputation visits, but we were certainly just as busy. We started the year in Peru. On the first Sunday of the year, I had the opportunity to preach at Iglesia Bautista Gethsémani in Trujillo, Peru. This is my wife’s home church and the church where Bro. Joel is currently serving with his family. This church was started by Bro. Percy Hernandez, another missionary sponsored by Landmark. We are thankful for his labor for the Lord in Peru and the fruit that it has pr...

Preparing for Transition

Image
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...

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...
