November Newsletter

Dear Friends of Mission Surge,

I know it has been some time since I have written and for that I apologize.  As you most likely know we finally found a home, by God’s grace, in the summer and I have been working, between preaching engagements, on getting the house ready and moved into.  It is so much more than we thought God would provide us.  He has proven good once again, though He tarries often.  We are finally settled in for the most part.  There are still several projects that need to be completed, but they can be done in time.  I appreciate your prayers for us during this transition and covet your continued prayer support.

I write today for a few reasons.  First,  I ask that you please pray for me this weekend as I travel to Birmingham to preach at The Master’s Plan for Fatherhood conference there.  I will be speaking on Malachi 4 and I need prayer!  I would also love for you to come be a part.  There is still time to register.  If you are able to break free Friday and Saturday I would love to see you there.  You can register here:  https://ncfic.org/events/view/birmingham-masters-plan

I also would like to ask you to pray for me as I begin making plans for 2014.  We are planning a 12 day pastor/church planter training tour of the entire island in February.  Please pray for this effort.  Also pray that God would open doors for me to preach harvest days, family discipleship conferences, church revivals, and mission conferences.  Also pray that pastors would be willing to open their pulpit to me on a Sunday night or Wednesday evening service to share about the work and vision of Mission Surge.  Pray that 2014 will be a fruitful year.

Finally, I am writing to inform you of a new project we are beginning work on now.  We are beginning the process of putting together a high quality DVD tract.  Let me explain.  It is my belief that the vast majority of people, here in the buckle of the Bible belt, are confused about the Gospel.  They have a misunderstanding of who God is, who they are, who Christ really is, and how to respond to Him as their only Savior and Almighty Lord.  This has been a burden on my heart for some time.  The problem is most people will not take the time to listen to a full explanation of the Gospel, and sadly, very few if any will take the time and thought necessary to read a full explanation.  It is because of these realities that we have felt compelled to put together a brief (35 to 50 minutes), high quality, video explanation of the biblical gospel.  We intend to produce this DVD tract and make it available for mass distribution in multiple ways (DVD, I tunes, Youtube, etc.)  This project is going to cost us roughly $2500-3000 dollars for video, post production, and manufacturing.   It will be complete by May 1.  I would like to ask you to pray for this project.  Pray for funds to be raised to cover this project.  And if God moves you to give in order to help make it a reality, we would greatly appreciate it.  Just contact me and let me know (kevin@missionsurge.com).  As an incentive, anyone who would donate any amount to this project will receive a free copy of the DVD tract.  It is my hope that God would use this effort to open many eyes to the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Please pray!

Thank you so much for your continued prayers and support.  Please lift me up this weekend and come join me in Birmingham!  Please pray for many opportunities to open up in 2014!  And please pray for the  DVD-gospel tract project.  And spread the Word!  Thank you again and again for your faithfulness to hold the ropes for this ministry as we keep developing and growing and seeking God’s will for this work.

In  Christ,

Kevin
