Dear Church Family,
For more than a year, Paul, Bethany, Aidan, and Elijah Hardison have been preparing to
go as career missionaries to a remote area of Guatemala. They will be working among
the Mam people group, an indigenous tribe related to the Mayans. The Hardisons will be
working to strengthen and disciple the few Christians who are there. They will live the
love of Christ through helping with community health initiatives, projects in agriculture
and other evangelism efforts. What is very different about this mission approach is that
the Hardisons are being sent by our church, rather than through a denominational
mission agency. As a result, we will be much more involved in every aspect of their
ministry. We will be responsible for prayer, emotional support, and helping to set
ministry goals and objectives. They will be an extension of First Baptist Shreveport on
the side of a volcano in Guatemala! We will all be a part of their ministry, and we do
need a church-wide commitment. There are several ways you can help: 1) Prayer; 2) In
giving to the church budget you are helping to support the Hardisons. We have made a
significant commitment from our church budget toward their support. 3) Personal
financial commitment beyond your tithe: They continue to need
ministry partners who can commit to giving monthly toward their
ministry. 4) Connections: If you know of other churches or
individuals who might join their prayer and financial support
team, please contact me. This is an exciting new level of
missions involvement for our church, and I look forward to
seeing how God works.
Blessings,
Jeff
