| Building Relationships In East Asia |
| In October,
five members from Old Fort traveled to East Asia. The East Asian people
are very eager to learn English, so members of our team were allowed to
enter the country as English experts. Their objective was to hold conversational
English corners at the local university.
This trip was special. On this particular journey, God chose one of the team members to contact a East Asian student who was ready to receive Jesus as her Savior. |
As a result
of God’s merciful heart, a long and binding relationship began. It is very
difficult for a East Asian person to accept Christ because of the persecution
they incur. If the government finds out about their change, it would cost
the student his/her life.
Please remember the East Asian students in your prayers! Their very lives depend on it. Pray for the government of East Asia that they may have a change of heart. |
| 40 Days in Peru |
| These are exciting times for Old Fort Baptist Church! The R.E.A.P. program is ready to begin and you are invited by God to attend one of the greatest events in the history of our church! In May of 2005, we will be sending 7 teams of workers to Chumpi, Peru. Each team will be gone approximately 11 days. It will take at least 5 days to travel to and from the destination. One day will be an overlap day with the team coming next, so that there will be a constant presence in Chumpi for 40 days. The objective for this project will be to build relationships and to plant churches. | The teams are
as follows:
1) Prayer and logistics; 2) Medical; 3) Music and Evangelism; 4) Children and Youth; 5) Needs Team (Education or Construction); 6) Follow up teams; 7) Church planting teams. Each team will consist of two interpreters and six travelers. The trip is physically demanding. Even though the journey will be difficult, women are encouraged to seek God’s will and come along. Be prepared for the journey of a lifetime and don’t miss what God has in store for a small town in Peru! To God Be the Glory!!!!! |

On September
11, 2004, 15 members of Old Fort went to St. George to minister to an impoverished
black community. A Medical clinic was held and a meal was prepared. The
team found that most of the people who were coming to the clinic were needy,
but the majority were already Christians. God used our team to help this
community to form a vision of service for those who were in need.
