September / October 2018

Dear Praying Supporters,

We are honored to partner with you in the ministry of church planting and the restarting of churches here in the United States. Thank you for your prayers for us. This fall God has been faithful to provide numerous opportunities to serve Him through BIMI and the Reseeding America Ministry.

Church Restart in FloridaWe are currently in Florida organizing, conducting and funding an “Every Door Direct Mail” campaign for Countryside Baptist Church in Lake Mary. Earlier this year we were able to help the church with a search for a new pastor; God provided a wonderful young couple. The church called Pastor Mychael Eikenberry to be the new pastor in May. He and his wife Diana are doing a great job and it was a joy to see several new people and families now attending the services. Please pray for their ministry and the mailing.

USA Mission Conference in San AntonioIt was my privilege to preach a USA Mission Conference at New Life Baptist Church in Converse, Texas, in October. The theme of the meeting was, “Who will go to America.” Every evening a USA church planter gave a testimony and shared his burden for the city where God has called him to plant a church. I appreciate Pastor Charles Lewis and his burden for church planting in the States. Several churches were holding mission conferences in the San Antonio area during the meeting at New Life. Each morning all the churches met, and the missionaries got together for training and fellowship.

New Church Start in Philadelphia, PAI met Joe Delp through a mutual friend on a church planting survey trip this past summer. He and his family were in the planning stages to launch a new church in Mayfair, which is on the Northeast side of Philadelphia. During our July visit I committed to assisting Brother Joe in the launching of Open Door Baptist Church. We worked with other groups in passing out literature before the opening. Grand Opening Sunday was October 14 with over 80 in attendance. It was a joy to see another church started on this metro mission. Pray that more men will surrender to go to the major cities here in our homeland to plant new churches.

Church Restart in Newville, PAThis fall we enjoyed working with BIMI Reseeding America Missionaries Bob and Judy Van Sant at Newville, Pennsylvania. This veteran missionary couple is restarting Berean Baptist Church. The church called Bob as the pastor in the spring and God has used them to stabilize and grow this church. We were also able to finance, organize and conduct an “Every Door Direct Door Mail” (EDDM) campaign for this church as well as preach there on a Sunday.

Thank you for your faithful prayers and support,

Bob and Jennifer Larson
