Dear Pastor and Church Family,

God filled these past two months with reminders that He is worthy—not only of our praise, but of our full devotion in taking the Gospel to the world. As your missionary representative through World Wide New Testament Baptist Missions, I am grateful for your continued partnership. Your prayers and support are fueling real work in real places, with eternal results.

Family Fellowship Week: From the Nations, for His Name

In April, we welcomed more than one hundred of our missionaries, family members, and guests from around the world to our Annual Family Fellowship Week. They came from Cambodia to the Carolinas—a global representation of what God is doing through our mission family. This year’s theme, “Worthy,” centered our hearts on the worthiness of God in every area of life and ministry. Every sermon, every testimony, every song pointed us back to the greatness of our God and the urgency of the Great Commission.

I am deeply thankful for our mission staff, who labored diligently behind the scenes to make this meeting a time of true spiritual strengthening and joyful fellowship. The fruit of this meeting will be seen in souls reached, churches planted, and missionaries helped around the world.

See the Harvest: Mobilizing the Next Generation

March also brought key developments in our See the Harvest ministry. This initiative introduces young people to the mission field by putting their feet on the ground in another culture. In March, we sent a team to Grenada under the capable leadership of Bro. Cody Carden, who is now directing the See the Harvest ministry. In June, he will lead another team to Scotland. These trips are more than experiences—they are catalysts. They help young people see the world as Christ sees it, and many return home with a clearer vision of their role in missions. We've seen students enrolled in college get involved in their churches, engage in soul-winning activities, and bring people to Christ, as well as head to the mission field as a result of traveling with our teams. If your church is interested in achieving similar results, please don't hesitate to contact me.

One church in Virginia embraced this vision in a powerful way. After hearing the burden and seeing the need, they gave a generous gift to help more young people take their first steps onto the mission field. Their investment is helping us raise up the next generation of senders and goers.

Preaching the Word, Strengthening the Church

I continued my preaching ministry in several churches during March and April. In one particular missions conference in Georgia, the Lord moved in a special way. I preached a series from 1 Corinthians on the believer’s role in the local church. The book of 1 Corinthians confronts carnality with clarity and calls God’s people to live distinct lives of Gospel hope. It was a joy to see how the Spirit used His Word to stir hearts and renew purpose.

At the close of April, I preached at a faithful, supporting church whose pastor passed away late last year. I rejoiced to see that their heart for missions remains strong—not tied to a personality, but grounded in the eternal truth of Scripture. Their legacy continues through obedience to God’s Word.

Writing to Build and Equip

In between meetings, I continued my writing ministry. I recently completed two books:

A study through 1 Corinthians, helping believers navigate the tension between church life and a carnal world.

A discipleship resource titled "The Miracle of Salvation," which outlines 27 life-changing events that occur the moment a person is saved. It is already being used to ground new believers in the faith and remind seasoned saints of the depth of their salvation.

A Personal Note

The Lord also gave us time in March to be with our granddaughter—a precious reminder that ministry is both public and personal. We want to serve Christ well in every role He has given us.

Thank you again for standing with us. Your investment is bearing fruit in churches strengthened, missionaries equipped, and the Gospel proclaimed. May we remain faithful—because our God is worthy.

Yours for the harvest,

John O’Malley
