Missionary Spotlight:

  By

Bryan & Heather Macphail-Fausey

This month we focus on the last of our supported missionaries, Bryan and Heather Macphail-Fausey.  Since 2012 the couple has been serving in Cameroon, West Africa through Baptist Mid-Missions with a primary emphasis on church planting.  They write…

“Thank you for partnering with us to establish healthy churches in Cameroon.

Our course on ‘How to Study the Bible’ has now been requested by several pastors.  This teaching is helpful because many of the members of the congregation find reading the Bible daunting, yet personal Bible reading is now even more important because false Gospel messages are so prevalent.  Beginning in September and finishing in October, Bryan completed this teaching series in a local church that is led by one of the pastors who previously worked in our  Federation of Church Planters.  Pray that these church members would grow spiritually from regular personal Bible study.

In October, Federation solicited input from all those who previously benefited from this teaching to help determine our future direction.  One suggestion was pairing pastors of the current churches with those in the theological education program to provide real-life experience for future church planters.  Please be in prayer for wisdom and guidance for the Federation as we consider next steps.

Lastly, we are grateful for Bryan’s good health and safe travels, but mostly for his return to Yaounde.  We often say, “par la grace de Dieu.”  By the grace of God, we are well and continue to serve in Yaounde, Cameroon.  Thank you again for praying for us!”

Missionary Visit

Dale & Vicki Bishop from Youth for Christ, in Detroit, will be with us Sunday March 8th. Also, their sons, Peter and Joshua who serve alongside them in the ministry will be here. The Bishop’s will be sharing during the morning service and during Sunday School in Kent’s class and the High School Class.
Dale and Vicki work together in the ministry of Youth for Christ in Detroit, Michigan. YFC works with young people from all faith backgrounds and has faithfully served the youth since 1944. Through the years, the Bishops have successfully worked with troubled and at-risk youth in urban areas. They focus on five developmental areas of the lives of young people – social, mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. They communicate the life-changing message of Jesus Christ by building positive relationships with young people and their families through Caring Christian Adults.
