PRAYER REQUEST

noreply@blogger.com (Wes Stepp) — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 02:26:00 +0000

The church in French Guiana has been worshipping on the back porch of the preachers house. They are experiencing a nice growth with a lot of potential. They have been asked to tear down the makeshift coverings and locate another place. Availble space is not that availble - so please pray for God to open the doors and the wisdom they will need to make the right decisions.

Two New Projects

noreply@blogger.com (Wes Stepp) — Sat, 22 Mar 2008 01:39:00 +0000

BICM is making plans for two major projects.

One is to purchase land in French Guiana which will cast $100,000. This will provide land to build a much needed facility for one church and offer an environment to conduct youth programs along with a total church program.
The other project is a research center in Leyte Philippines. This will offer a facility to be used for advanced studies, small group studies that will help for more maturity in biblical matters. This will serve the area islands that will be more convenient for preachers, leaders and other church groups to attend.

The cost is approximately $60,000 for land, $35,000 to build and $30,000 to equip it with up-to-date equipment, material and language lab. This will house a well equipped library. This is strictly a research and study facility.

PLEASE PRAY FOR GOD TO USE HIS PEOPLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN AND THAT IT IS HIS WILL.

Update

noreply@blogger.com (Wes Stepp) — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 03:15:00 +0000

The convention in Cayenne went very well. Our focus was to introduce the local people to the teaching of a New Testament Church. We aslo wanted to instruct those attending that evangelism is done by various ministries using many talents and skills. We were able to complete the effort. We had a great team that really put their best effort into making that happen. The convention center was very accomodating and the staff of the center were very helpful and nice people. Three clowns were part of the team that taught local members how to use a clown ministry as an outreach for the church. The photo shows the clowns and those that studied with them. In the photo Dr. Wesley Stepp is conducting a class on the Lord's Supper.

Dwight Good is seen holding two little children. Dwight and his brother Dwayne are the Good Twins singing ministry. If you have not had the Twins for a concert you need to have them at your church. God blessed both the churches and the team from America in fellowship and good health. We praise God for the money that was available and the time for all eleven people to make the trip. We are making a dvd of the convention. If yoiu would like a copy we are asking $6 US for the cost of the dvd and mailing.

Jackie McArthur

noreply@blogger.com (Wes Stepp) — Sat, 12 Feb 2005 19:03:00 +0000

It is always a blessing to hear testimony of a godly person. Jackie McArthur (in picture with her husband Homer) went home to be with the Lord and left a wide trail of an example for what a Christian should be like. When she left your presence, she left something behind with you. At her funeral testimonies were heard from people in different times and places of her life. This spirit is seen in her children and grandchildren. Jackie was a volunteer secretary for BICM and her positive attitude and outlook toward situations was remarkable. It is hard to express all that she did and the energy she offered even up to her final days. One of her last wishes was not to buy flowers but to send the money to BICM. This was her pattern for thinking of others and the Lord's work in her final days before going home. This tribute is say thanks to her family for the contribution to this ministry. Speaking for many that has known Jackie for any period of time understands that she was concerned that preaching the Gospel is very important.
