A word from your missions office
By HEITH MITCHELL
We are excited about three new missionaries starting this month. All three of them have been equipped and sent out of BMA Churches.
Brad Cauley is preparing to make disciples in Cedar Park. Brad is an Elder at Antioch Church in Georgetown and is being sent out by them.
Lisandro Barrueta Is making disciples in San Antonio. He was discipled in the ministry of Iglesia Bautista Misionera de San Antonio and pastor Cesar Leal. He has completed an internship there with the church.
Shane Carter is preparing to make disciples in Lamesa. He has been discipled and has finished an internship at Oasis Mission in Levelland.

We will be gearing up for the start of our college ministry soon.

Haitao He– Free Salvation Bible Mission in Corpus Christi
haitao.he@bmats.edu
Mission work is to share a word from God with people who don’t know God. Their gods, or things they valued the most, are more important to them until they realize that they are sinners who need salvation. Love, forgiveness, and salvation on us the believers bear the witness of the power of salvation.
Prayer Needs:
Pray that Holy Spirit will strike people to recognize their sinful nature and Christ’s forgiveness of sin can be witnessed by our thoughts and actions.

We are always grateful for all the spiritual and economic support that each church gives us, thanks to you we can carry out the work of God in this church. God continues to work in our midst, there are several recent converts being discipled, new visitors in whom the word of the Lord has been sown, in young people and adults there have been people who have sought reconciliation with God and are about to be part of the membership of the church. Yoao is a young man who has been visiting the church all this month, he is struggling to make the decision to give his life to Jesus and there are many things that need to be corrected, pray a lot for him, as well as for Jonaiquel and Victoria who have begun their discipleship process.
Prayer Needs:
For the salvation of Yoao and the spiritual growth of Jonaiquel and Victoria, a young woman who has just given her life to Jesus and has many serious personal problems. (Translated with Google Translate)

Fidel Torres– Cristo Vive Mission in Denton

The book of the Prophet Ezekiel gives us a different picture of what life was like for a slave. Ezekiel gives us his perspective on exile. And he shows us that even in extremely difficult situations, he did not stop serving God, he always looked for a way for the slave people to remember God and depend on Him. Always ready to teach him to seek God. Dependence on God is what allows us to do the unthinkable in situations impossible for us.
Prayer Needs:
Gratitude for your many prayers in our move, since we did not hurt each other much, God provided a lot. May God give us grace with our new neighbors, and may we be able to contact many Hispanic neighbors who live in the area. That we have very good health that we recover from the great fatigue we have after the move. (Translated with Google Translate)

It’s interesting how during the toughest times you see God work through certain individuals. This has been the toughest month so far as we have had to encourage our members about their commitment to our church. We understand that people get busy but we encourage to make God a priority, especially during this evil age that we live in. With that being said we had 3 salvations and are baptizing 5- 10 people at the end of this month again. We have seen some growth but the work is burdensome and inconvenient. However, it’s all worth it when we celebrate with heaven as we rejoice to see new souls saved. Keep fighting the Good fight it’s worth it, even when we can’t see it.
Prayer Needs:
Please continue to pray for Frank Martinez. He is about to be put in the Hospital for 2 months due to Bone marrow surgery. Thank you.

Kyle Cheatham– Grace Church Jarrell Mission
kyle@gracejarrell.com
My family *loved* the Church Planter getaway in Galveston! In early June, our people gathered for a meaningful evening of prayer and worship that served as the beginning of our transition to live music on Sundays as God has provided just the right family to help with that! We had our highest attendance yet at the end of June and continue to meet and draw in new people as we study through the book of Acts on Sunday mornings and our men study the attributes of God on Tuesdays.
Prayer Needs:
Please pray for peace and reconciliation as our church continues to work through a situation that negatively affected some, however, our people are responding graciously and I believe God is strengthening us through this. Pray that the enemy is unsuccessful in dividing us and that all walk in grace and repentance toward reconciliation.

Brad Cauley– Cedar Park Mission

The Lord reminded me this month that all of our walk and all of our work is a response to what He initiates. He is God who calls, He is the God with the plan, and He is God who chooses the man (people) for the mission. In the book of Joshua, just as He did with Moses in Exodus 3, God calls Joshua to Himself and to His plan. The famous, “be strong and courageous” passage only comes after God has clearly stated what He plans to do that He then invites Joshua to walk in. What an incredible comfort and what a powerful source of boldness, confidence, and strength for the mission ahead. And when we follow God’s faithful plan to call people to His mission from Noah, to Abraham, through Moses, Joshua, David, and all the way to us, we hear His say again, “I will build My church.” Who are we that the Lord would invite us into this greatest of all missions with Himself? 30 years into walking with the Lord and I still am blown away by His tender love, His faithfulness, and His ever closer presence as He accomplishes His purpose in this world, in the hearts of His people and through their lives into the lives of others. May God’s grace and mercy and peace fuel our hearts with boldness, courage, and renewed energy to join Him as He works His will through us.
Thank you for your prayers and your support of God’s mission!
Prayer Needs:
Please ask the Lord to confirm where in our specific area, he would have us plant. Please pray for wisdom about who to bring with us as well as for open hearts on the harvest.
