That Was Awesome Pastor Langwell!

Gateway Worship Center - San Antonio Texas

The way that Pastor David Langwell of Gateway Worship Center in San Antonio, Texas handled the service was a missionary’s dream. First of all he allowed me the privilege of coming to share with his Church at very short notice. Secondly, after a great time of prayer and worship around the altars that Wednesday evening, Pastor Langwell did not just give me a window, but the whole service in which to connect with the congregation and encourage them. I was able to share testimonies of the tremendous things God is doing around the world, as well as how the Lord is allowing Raynan’s healing.

Then, after I shared, Pastor David had me pass out Faith Promise forms to everybody. He explained that they should pray to see what the Lord wants them to give our ministry by faith on a monthly basis. Pastor explained that they could send in that amount to our World Missions office each month, and they would get on our mailing list to get updates directly from us concerning our family and our ministry. He explained that it would avoid our newsletters winding up on his desk where nobody could see them. Pastor Langwell said that the Church will pick us up for monthly support, but he is allowing the Holy Spirit to move on the hearts of individuals as well, and getting them personally involved with missionaries and their work.

Great job, Pastor David! We have already receive a Faith Promise in AGWM from one of the congregation, and I am sure others will follow!

Alva & Louise (Jeter) Walker, Bible School Directors, Manacas, Las Villas, 1954

My Aunt Louise Jeter Walker and her husband were directors of the Cuban Bible Institute in 1954.

Some of the First Laborers in the Harvest

Cuba has been very dear to our family, and is the country where I was born!

The doors of the Cuban Bible Institute were open in 1954 for all those who had a call of God to the ministry…

Cuban Pentecostal Bible Institute, Manacas, Las Villas, 1954

After years of experience in teaching, writing, and editing, Aunt Louise became the first writer and editor for the Global University courses. Now Global University courses help train hundreds of Bible School students and leaders through distance education.

A New Chapter of the Same History

Director and Graduates of Global University

New Laborers in the Harvest

A Cuban pastor has taken the responsibility of the new look of the Cuban Bible Institute, as Director for Global University of Cuba. He is the son of students of the Class of 1954! He visited our International Office recently and shared these pictures with us. What a thrill to see my Aunt Louise and Uncle Alva and to know how the seed planted so long ago continues to bear fruit!

I am now privileged to minister at Global University, helping train this new generation of workers as they go into the Harvest!

The Lord is building his Church! We are workers together with Him, and we will all share in the reward. God is in this work for the long run… if we remain faithful to do our part, in due time we will reap a harvest!

Crane Assembly of God – Pastor George and Margaret Burnash

What a delight to be with Pastors George and Margaret Burnash at Crane Assembly of God in Crane, Missouri this morning. Nathalie accompanied me to the service to visit with her long-time friends. It was great to feel their passion for the Lord, for the ministry, and for their community. We had a wonderful time of sharing with each other and from the Word. They have a heart for missions, and we know that God will honor their ministry as they step out in faith and follow the leading of the Lord. Thank you for having us Pastor!

Nathalie and Raynan at Hemmingway's

Who would have ever thought that such an elegant dining facility would be hidden up on the 4th floor of the Bass Pro Shop in Springfield? The lunch buffet at Hemmingway’s Blue Water Cafe has become one of our favorites. From the extensive salad bar to the chocolate mousse for dessert. Raynan and I took Nathalie there for a late birthday celebration.

Happy Birthday Nathalie!

Back Home at Faith

Doug — Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:19:26 +0000

It is really hard to describe the feeling of being back in the pulpit where it all started 44 years ago. I was at Faith Assembly of God in Pasadena, Texas, Sunday morning to share a testimony of how God is bringing about a healing in Raynan’s body, and the wonderful things that are taking place around the world in missions. Some of our long-time friends (we don’t have “old” friends) are now gone, others have more wrinkles or have been seriously diminished by disease or other difficulties of this life. However, the heart of the church is still intact. There is still a world waiting to receive the message that there is hope and salvation in Jesus Christ, and Faith still is a very vital part of that vision. Pastor Johnny McDuff and his congregation have continued over the years to be one of our mainstays of partnership and support, and Raynan and I salute them! They called us “Heroes of the Faith”, but who is more of a hero, the one who goes or the ones who stay and intercede and support and make the victory possible? We love you, Faith Assembly!

Great Pastor, Great Church!

I am in South Texas for the month of January going on the Light for the Lost tour of the district. I had the privilege of attending Sunday School and morning service at Humble First Assembly of God yesterday, missions emphasis Sunday. Pastor Milton Pool has such a great missions heart. When all the necessary preliminaries were over, we partook of communion, saw a special missions video, and listened to interviews with church members who had gone on missions trips, Pastor Pool only had 5 minutes left to preach a missions message. And he gave me 2 of those 5 minutes to thank the Church for their faithful support, and give an encouraging report on how God is providing healing for Raynan as a result of prayer.

When the economy got tough and the missions offerings did not come in, Pastor Pool took the money from the general fund to make sure that the missionaries did not come up short on their support. God has honored his faith, and they are once again “in the black”, doing more for missions than ever. Praise God for pastors like Milton Pool and churches like Humble First Assembly!
