DOUGLAS AND MARCY SHAW, ARE NORTH AMERICAN MISSIONARIES SERVING AS CHURCH PLANTERS IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. THE POLISH IMMIGRANTS ARE THEIR MAIN FOCUS GROUP. POLES ARE MORE OPEN TO THE GOSPEL OUTSIDE THEIR HOMELAND, AND THE SHAWS ARE SEEING THIS REFLECTED IN THEIR WORK. AFTER ONLY EIGHT MONTHS IN THE COUNTRY, THEY HAVE SEEN ONE HOME CHURCH START AND ARE WORKING WITH SEVERAL OTHER GROUPS. THE HOME CHURCH HAS BETWEEN NINE AND SIXTEEN PEOPLE ATTENDING EACH SUNDAY AND ALREADY THEIR MEETING SPACE IS PACKED. SENDING MISSIONARIES, STARTING CHURCHES AND IMPACTING THE LOST WHEREVER THEY LIVE ARE SOME OF THE FRUITS OF THEIR EFFORTS. DOUGLAS AND MARY WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR PRAYERS THIS WEEK, FOR THEMSELVES, THEIR MINISTRY, AND THEIR OUTREACH TO THE POLISH IMMIGRANTS LIVING IN THE UNITED KINGDOM. JOIN WITH US THIS WEEK IN PRAYING FOR THEM.

JEFF AND LAURA CHRISTOPHERSON ARE MISSIONARIES IN TORONTO, CANADA. JEFF IS A CHURCH PLANTER. HE PLANTED HIS FIRST CONGREGATION IN TORONTO (THE SANCTUARY) IN 2001. GOD HAS BLESSED THE CHURCH AND AS A RESULT, JEFF HAS SET A GOAL TO PLANT 250 NEW CONGREGATIONS IN TORONTO BY 2020. WITH OVER 50% OF THE POPULATION BEING BORN OUTSIDE OF CANADA AND HAVING THE LOWEST CHURCH ATTENDANCE RATIO OF ANY ENGLISH-SPEAKING CITY IN NORTH AMERICA, THE NEED OF NEW CHURCHES IS VERY GREAT. IT WILL TAKE ALL OF US PRAYING AND WORKING TOGETHER TO MEET THIS CHALLENGE. WE ASK THAT YOU, ALONG WITH US THIS WEEK, PRAY FOR JEFF AND LAURA AS THEY DISCOVER NEW CHURCHES AND MENTOR TO THE ONES THEY HAVE STARTED, IN HELPING THEM REACH THEIR GOAL OF WINNING SOULS FOR CHRIST IN TORONTO, CANADA.

OUR VERY OWN MISSIONARIES

IN OUR COUNTY WE ARE BLESSED TO HAVE MISSIONARIES WORKING OUT OF THE MERIDZO MINISTRIES AT LYNCH, KENTUCKY, THEY ARE GEORGE LEWIS - AND LONNIE AND BELINDA RILEY. ALSO IN THE TRI-CITIES AREA, IS PAULINE WHITE, MSC FOOD DISTRIBUTION AND HAROLD AND JOYCE SCROGGS WITH MSC RETREAT CENTER/ VOLUNTEER COORDINATORS.

IT IS OUR PRAYER HERE AT LIGGETT BAPTIST CHURCH THAT NOT ONLY DURING THIS TIME OF PRAYER FOR OUR STATE MISSIONS BUT WE WILL CONTINUALLY REMEMBER THESE "AT HOME" MISSIONARIES, RIGHT HERE IN OUR COUNTY.

HOW THEN SHALL THEY CALL ON HIM IN WHOM THEY HAVE NOT BELIEVED? AND HOW SHALL THEY BELIEVE IN HIM WHOM THEY HAVE NOT HEARD? AND HOW SHALL THEY HEAR WITHOUT A PREACHER? AND HOW SHALL THEY PREACH, EXCEPT THEY BE SENT?
