May Mission Surge Update
Dear Friends of Mission Surge,
We are so grateful for all of your prayers and for your financial support for our Dominican Pastor Training last weekend! We had between 20 and 30 pastors for every session as we taught them the Core Components of the Gospel and how that biblical Gospel should impact their lives, their families, their church, and the world. The men were really challenged. We are so grateful to God for Ken Holm and Drew Dusenberry for sacrificing their time and their finances to travel with me to the Dominican Republic in order to video each session and produce DVD’s of each session for every pastor present at the training. That means that these men will take what they learned back to their churches and Bible studies and re-produce the training there over and over again. The training will continue to spread and go on and on in the Dominican and I am so grateful for your prayers and support. I hope to have some pictures up on the website in the next month or so.
I would ask that you begin now praying for our next training in the DR October 7-9, 2011. In this training we will discuss Gospel driven prayer as individual pastors/leaders, families, churches, and for the world. Please be in prayer for this training and for the needed funds to sponsor these men and enable them to return. It is also my prayer that we will be able to provide each of these 30 or so pastors with a copy of Wayne Grudem’s Systematic Theology in Spanish when we return in October or at the last training in February. Please pray with us about this.
Finally, please please be in prayer for our upcoming pastor training in Kenya and Uganda. God has been faithful to provide financially for this training and we are believing that he will put it on your hearts to pray fervently for this training.
Please be in prayer for Dr. Paul Young as he goes to teach. Below is a note from him. Please read it and pass it along to everyone that you will…
Hi Everyone,
Just wanted to take the time to update everyone on the upcoming trip to train pastors in Kenya and Uganda. The trip is now less than 2 weeks away. We have been in regular contact with Pastor Jacob Lusweti in Eldoret, Kenya. We are expecting about 500 pastors to attend the conference we will be having there. They will be from Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda. After that 5 day conference we will be going into Uganda to do a 2 day conference for the pastors there. We will also be preaching in various churches. Our primary focus will be to teach pastors to prepare biblically solid sermons. Most of these pastors and church leaders have no formal training and no Bible study resources (commentaries, Bible dictionaries, etc.). I have developed a system to teach them to study and prepare sermons that are biblically accurate using only a Bible. The majority of our time will be spent teachig them this method and practicing it with them so that they will be equipped to preach to their churches. We will also be speaking to them about the core convictions and commitments that a pastor must have. Also, we will instruct them on the core components of the gospel. We will be very busy and we ask that you pray for strength for us, as the conference is scheduled to begin less than an hour after our plane lands in Eldoret. Also, pray for God to bless our travel and give us grace with customs officials in each country.
Please pray for myself, Rev. James Washington, Curtis Broadwater, and Patrick Goode as we undertake this exciting work for the kingdom of our great God and Savior.
Dr. Paul Young
