Kevin & Nancy Bart
Dear friends,

We have started the new year running, and we have had various opportunities to share the Gospel, and we had the first of our mission trips to visit  11 countries this year. We are being greatly stretched in our faith and our resources to do the things God is leading us to do, but we are confident in His leading and in His perfect faithfulness. If you or someone you know would like to donate and partner with us to take the Gospel around the world, we would greatly appreciate it. 100% of the funds would go directly to preaching the Gospel and helping & training churches.

You can read about our mission trip to Guatemala in this newsletter, along with other upcoming opportunities and mission trips. We were blessed with a very fruitful mission trip to Guatemala, and it was a blessing to see once again the truth of Jesus' words in Matthew 9:37 "The harvest is great..."

Through this ministry that God has given us, specifically in the preaching and training aspects, we are trying to encourage and train more church members to be active and faithful witnesses and missionaries to help reach the vast numbers of people that still do not know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. 

Thank you for continuing to pray for us, for the churches we are helping, and for the people we are sharing the Gospel with. We will never know the full effect of our prayers until we get to heaven, but we can tell you that God continues to respond and He is mightily at work.

In His Love,

Kevin & Nancy

Recent & Upcoming Events
Mission Trip to Quetzaltenango, Guatemala
 
In early January we went to Quetzaltenango, which is the 2nd largest city in Guatemala. It is a beautiful area with mountains and volcanos. We worked with Pr. Jeff Stone and his church, Calvary Chapel La Esperanza. We had many opportunities to share Christ, and it was a joy to get to know the people of the church. The people in Guatemala are wonderful and very kind.

Nancy had the opportunity to share Christ with a woman on the plane and at a bus station later that day, and Kevin had the opportunity to share with a man on the 3 1/2 hour bus ride from Guatemala City to Quetzaltenango. The woman on the plan that Nancy shared with, Maria Luisa, accepted Christ. 

During the week we did our Quality Of Life outreach event in 2 public schools in the La Esperanza area of Quetzaltenango, in 1 public school in Santa Rita, and also in a private school. We also had the opportunity to share the Gospel in a small private school for adults that are finishing their high school education, and also in a drug rehab center. We all felt the Holy Spirit very strongly at work at the drug rehab center, and 13 men accepted Christ and committed their lives to Him.

Kevin also led a People Sharing Jesus training seminar on Saturday morning and on Sunday afternoon after church. About 40 people from the church participated and learned various methods to share Christ with others in the power of the Holy Spirit. Kevin also preached on Sunday morning at Calvary Chapel La Esperanza, and God moved again in a powerful way and 5 people accepted Christ, including a woman and her daughter that are Pastor Jeff's neighbors and were visiting the church.

We had a great trip and we praise God for the over 600 people that accepted Christ and committed their lives to Him, including 18 teachers, 2 directors, and many parents at the schools.    

 


Preach at Grace Fellowship - West Palm Beach FL
 
In early January Kevin had the privilege to preach in this mission oriented church located in West Palm Beach. This was the 2nd opportunity he has had to preach God's Word in the church. Kevin spoke about the desires of God's heart, especially about His desire to have close fellowship with us, and His desire and passion for all men to be saved.

At the end of each of the 2 Sunday morning services Kevin shared the Gospel, and 16 people accepted Christ and committed their lives to Him. God is so good !

Prayer Requests & Praises
  • Please pray for Nancy's health. She has a lot of pain in her shoulder due to a slight tear in her rotator cuff, and she also has pain in her back. The doctors suspect that she has lumbar degenerative disk disease and they are doing tests to confirm. We praise God that the medicine for her connective tissue disease has been working well.
  • Please pray that God will go ahead of us and open many doors to share the Gospel, and touch & prepare many hearts, and that He will touch and save many students, teachers, lost people, and families during our upcoming mission trips to Belize (March 3-9), Japan (April 13-19), South Korea (April 19-26), Nicaragua (May 26-31), Honduras (June 1-7).
  • Please pray for God's continuing provision of the resources to be able to go to the places He is leading us to share His love and the Gospel. Because of some financial difficulties we have had the last 2 years we are being greatly stretched and challenged to follow the Lord's leading, and we need His gracious provisions.
  • We praise God for the pastors and church partners that He has led us to work with and help and train. They are very key to being fruitful and successful in reaching many people for Christ, and in the important follow up work with new believers. We have most of our church partners confirmed and scheduled through 2016 and some in 2017.
