Mission Partners– Every year, teams of short-term volunteers come from Southern Baptist churches here in the United States to serve in Guatemala. David and Regina White help the volunteers have places to stay and set up witnessing visits and training conferences. A while back, David and Regina enlisted a man named Miguel as translator. He spoke English well, but he was not comfortable talking about Jesus. Still, Miguel translated for teams over and over as the Americans shared the gospel and trained local believers in many ways. Over time, Miguel was discipled! He grew strong in his faith and began ministering with passion and commitment. Our church helps support David and Regina through our Cooperative Program giving.

Training Christian leaders is an important part of missions. Jeremy is one of our missionaries serving in Uganda, in Africa. Five years ago he met a believer from

South Sudan named James. For some time Jeremy trained James in church planting, spiritual disciplines and Bible storytelling. James went back to South Sudan. Two years later Jeremy visited a camp in Uganda where refugees from South Sudan have fled to escape the war in their country - and he ran in to his

former student, James. Imagine how happy Jeremy was when he learned James had planted six new churches among the refugees! Our church had a hand in that training because our church's Cooperative Program giving helps support Jeremy,

our missionary in Uganda.

Trunk-or-Treat Candy Collection– During September, we are collection candy for our annual trunk-or-treat outreach event on October 31. This fun event lets us spend time with our neighbors and gives us a chance to talk to them about Jesus. You can help by donating individually wrapped candy. There will be a bin in the lobby for donations.

Our Missions Partners– Did you know that about five percent of the world's

population is Deaf? That's more than 460 million people. We're going to pray today for two our missionaries to the Deaf. We're going to call them Trent and Victoria Mullen for security reasons, though those are not their real names. Trent and Victoria have trained Deaf Christians across Mexico in how to communicate the Gospel to other Deaf people. In one part of Mexico, Trent and Victoria trained two Baptist women who are Deaf - we'll call them Ana and Sally. They have been able to share the Gospel with many Deaf people in village after village by telling Bible stories in sign language. Our church is supporting Trent and Victoria through our Cooperative Program giving. Let's ask the Lord to keep our missionaries, Trent and Victoria, safe as they travel and teach across Mexico.
