The Downey family serves in Wales. They minister to existing baptist chapels that are struggling to stay open. Bro. Downey pastors Bethania Baptist Chapel. Before they came, this church only met a few times a month for regular church services – no Sunday school, no bible study, no prayer ministry. They now have all three going at full force. Their scripture verse for their ministry is Revelation 3:2 – “Be watchful, and strengthen the things which remain, that are ready to die: for I have not found thy works perfect before God.”

At the request of many concerned parents, Bethel Christian Academy began in 2006 with a vision of training students in the nurture and admonition of the Lord and providing excellence in a Bible-based education. Bethel Christian Academy became Footprints Christian Academy and exists to teach children Christ-like character that is scripturally disciplined; to love God; to serve others; and to proclaim Christ. They believe the best education teaches both academic excellence and Christian values. Therefore, they place much emphasis on high-quality academics with sound moral and spiritual values based on God’s Word. Their teachers are dedicated to each student’s total well-being and they are very skillful in handling God’s Word to mold and shape the character and life of each student.

When Bob and Joyce Landis were working as youth directors in their local church they quickly saw the importance of training young people to serve the Lord. It became evident that they had to show them, not just tell them, how to serve. So they began training their youth group and taking them on short-term mission trips. Soon families from other areas began asking whether their teens could travel with them as well. As a result, Make a Timothy Today Ministries (MTT) was born. MTT has ministered in 15 different countries around the world and now takes out as many as six teams a year. MTT is an avenue for young people to seek God’s will or just to make a difference somewhere in the world.

Make a Timothy Today (MTT) ministries exist to help independent, fundamental, Bible-believing churches produce Christ-centered young people with a servant’s heart. Their theme is “Molding the next generation for Christ.” They work to give college and high school students an opportunity to serve the Lord through short-term mission trips around the world. They believe that a mission trip can be a life-changing experience for the Christian young person. They training every team before each trip because they believe that every Christian should be “prepared unto every good work.” (II Tim.2:21) The training is important so that the team is a help and not a burden or hindrance on the mission field. The training also provides fertile ground in which to grow spiritual fruit that can remain in the lives of each team member.

The Lawson family serves in Brazil. A “saved” man once told Bro. Lawson that he thought having six children and going to the mission field would be a burden to the Lord. His comments made it sound impossible for their family to get to the mission field. The Lord had other plans. The Lord has worked graciously in their lives and they now have a web site to inform the world about what God is doing in missions. They appreciate your prayers and support as they endeavor to reach Brazil with the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The McPeters family serves in Wales, UK where they conduct bible studies and are working with local ministries to plant a church. They are on their first term in Wales.

The Roberts family, Jim, Autumn, Elijah and Ali Grace, are church planters going to the country of India. We are currently on deputation and are excited that God allows us to serve Him. We are also looking forward to what God is going to do in India.

Robbie & Cathy Smith have been involved in missions since 1978 when Robbie surrendered to go anywhere the Lord needed workers. After working in Brazil for over 29 years, the Lord has changed the direction of the ministry. Our prayer is that the Lord will continue to send laborers into HIS harvest. Please take a few minutes and see what the Lord has allowed us to be a part of. We count it an honor and a priviledge to be Ambassadors for Christ.
