Missions Conference 2018 at FBC Hammond

Bro. Bosje (Missions Director)

We had a great time at First Baptist Church of Hammond's missions conference. We were already so thankful that they supported us, but the opportunity to come to their missions conference was a fantastic experience. We were honored to stay with Mark and Missy Cogley who even allowed us to come several days early. On Saturday we attended the soul winning/neighborhood canvassing time for their upcoming Easter services. Our family covered about 300 doors and had two saved.

On Sunday we attended Bro. Mark Bosje's Sunday school class. He was a missionary to Thailand for seven years and is currently the missions director at the church. We enjoyed getting to meet his class members and give a testimony. We also enjoyed going to lunch with him and his family after the morning service.  

Pastor Wilkerson

Throughout the week we were privileged to speak with Pastor John Wilkerson several times and have some fellowship. He is doing a great job leading the church. We also enjoyed listening to Missionary Kevin Wynne preach multiple times throughout the conference. What a great missions speaker! 

Da We (Senior at Hyles-Anderson)

I also had the opportunity to give testimonies and answer questions in Church Ed class at Hyles Anderson College on Tuesday and Wednesday. Here I met many wonderful students, one of them being Da We who use to live in Northern Thailand in the area close to where I am going. He is a senior and has a heart to want to go back to the area he grew up at and reach his people as a missionary some day.

Tuesday night we attended the services in the Spanish church with Pastor Andy Gomez. He is doing a wonderful job and we truly enjoyed getting to met the many great Spanish families. Their spirit was incredible as was the whole church. We felt truly blessed to be a part of their conference and their missionary family!
