Dear Friends of Mission Surge,
Please be in prayer for Mission Surge, May 6-8. Our point man to the DR, Gene Pickern, two computer and media savvy laymen, along with myself will travel to the DR to train 30-40 indigenous pastors, church planters, and potential missionaries. We will teach them the biblical gospel, how that gospel must impact their lives, their families, their churches, and their mission field. They will be given assignments to carry out in order to apply what they have learned and they will be held accountable by us over the next several months. Those that are faithful will be brought back for the second and third training sessions (October 2011 and February 2012).
Our goals in this training are several.
1. To ensure that each church planter thoroughly understands the Gospel (Rom 1:16).
2. To ensure that each church planter has been transformed by the Gospel (2 Cor 5:17).
3. To ensure that each church planter is leading his family (1 Tim 3:4-5).
4. To ensure that each church planter is planting a healthy, biblical church.
5. To ensure that each church planter understands and embraces God’s vision of reaching the lost in their
communities and to the very ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).
I want to ask you to please pray for those of us going on this journey that God would keep us safe, healthy, energized, and spiritually strong!
1. Gene Pickern, pastor of Unity Baptist Church in Atmore, AL and our point man for the Dominican. His
travel dates are May 2-16.
2. Myself, as I train Friday through Sunday. My travel dates are May 5-9.
3. Ken Holm and Drew Dusenberry as they video and produce DVD’s. Their work will enable those in
attendance to take the DVD’s of the training home so that they can in turn train others in their churches
and community. Their travel dates are May 5-9.
4. Please also be in prayer for a team from Cleary who will be coming to the DR on May 9 to work with 2
of the pastors we train and who will be returning home on May 16.
Finally, pray for the names of the men that we have invited.
1. Wilfrido Brunache

4. Marcelina Mañón
5. Danny Ureña
6. Piterson Leger

All of these men have been invited and sponsored financially by Mission Surge to attend this training because they have shown personal integrity and promise as, either current church leaders, or potential church leaders, planters, and/or missionaries. Please, please pray that these guys will be encouraged, challenged, and revived through this weekend of training!
Thank you so much to those of you who have given to Mission Surge over these past few months! Your gifts have made it possible for men, like those above, to receive training and encouragement that would be impossible normally. It is our prayer that God would bless you for your faithful giving and praying for this ministry. I will be sending out many pictures after we return on May 9, so be on the lookout! Again thank you for your faithful support.
In Christ,
Kevin
