Last August, our Evangelize America ministry team worked with a church plant in Postville, Iowa, a very diverse town of 27 different languages and 14 different nationalities. Over a two-week span, the team saw the Lord save 14 precious souls. Since then, the Lord has saved several more folks there and continues to move that precious group forward under the direction of the church planter working with them there. We praise God for His work!
This summer the first outreach is to the Moshannon Valley of Pennsylvania at the end of this coming May. Our team is made up of the John Reed family, Pastor Nathaniel Berdine, the Barry Hubbard family, the Joshua Gordon family, and a group of passionate young men who are fervently seeking God to do a work. We are targeting numerous towns clustered together in the Moshannon Valley that are without a strong local church. Our evangelistic plans include door-to-door, VBS, outreaches for the entire family, and evening Gospel meetings.
After the initial week of meetings and outreaches, we will be holding the first service of the Victory Baptist Church of Moshannon Valley on May 30, 2021. A small number of believers already in the community are READY for a church in their immediate area. God has called Pastor Nathaniel Berdine to stay in this community indefinitely and pastor this new church. One or two of our team members will continue to work with him throughout the summer.
Our second summer outreach is working with church planter Marty Roembke in June/July 2021, in his work with the Menominee Indians in Wisconsin. We will be seeking to reach a number of these dear folks for Christ so that a church can be started on or near the Menominee reservation.
We are seeking to raise $30,000 to cover the needs of this new church in PA and the expenses of the summer teams and projects. Any funds not used in these projects will be used in the continued ministry of Evangelize America. If you would like to help with financial support, please make a check payable to Martinsville Baptist Tabernacle.
