Working with Veteran Missionaries

There are 7 billion people in the

WORLD. I believe this fact does not

bother the God of the Bible. However, Ido do believe that the Lord God is

bothered when His people have not told

the world of His salvation. I am so

thankful to God for parents that took me

to church. Church was a place that I was

taught the Bible. I learned of my sin and

what would become my Savior.

How shall they hear without a

preacher? Every part of this world needs

a local church proclaiming the good

news. Every community, large or small

needs some blood bought people to live

and work among the lost. They dont

know the Lord. We must go and tell

them of Jesus.

Pray with us that the Lord will raise

up ch urc he s in ea ch of t he secommunities for the glory of His Name.

I cant state this enough. We are going to plant CHURCHES.

The ministry there in Chile has simply proclaimed the Gospel of

Jesus Christ in a clear and faithful manner. People have been saved.Churches started. The converts are then discipled to be a faithfulChristian in the work of the Lord. Then God has called men into Hisministry to be pastors. Just as I heard Bro. Jason Holt say, We cantunderestimate the power of the Bible.

Elizabeth and I have been friends with Jason and Lori for many years. We are excited about learning from them as we begin ourministry in Chile. The Holts have also started a language school inwhich we will be enrolling after our arrival to Chile.

Our Testimonies of theLord Saving Us

Joshs Testimony

My testimony begins as myparents began taking me to church

from the time I was born. Romans

10:17 tells us that ...faith cometh

by hearing, and hearing by the

word of God. I was under the

faithful preaching of God's Word.

Because that preaching, at the age

of four years old I realized that I

was a sinner. My mother showed

me in the the Word of God about

the salvation that I had been

hearing about at church. It was atthat time, at the kitchen table of

our home, I trusted in Jesus

Christs finished work for my

salvation. Later in my life, at the

age of sixteen I surrendered my life

to preach the gospel. It was then

at Tabernacle Baptist College

where I surrendered my life to

missions.

Elizabeths Testimony

I was was not raised in churchthough my parents were saved.

With good parents that taught me

right from wrong, I was bothered

by the drugs at school that were

offered to me every day of myninth grade. I went to my parents

about this problem and they

enrolled me at Old Suwanee

Christian School, a ministry of

Old Suwanee Baptist Church. I

finished the last three years of high

school there. During that time I

was able to hear the preaching of

the Bible during chapel and classes.

I realized that I needed Jesus to be

saved. Right after I trusted Christ,

I became very interested in world

missions.

Our two oldest

Our two oldest children,

Hannah and Joseph have both

made a profession of faith in

Christ alone for their salvation. Be

praying that they allow the Lord to

work in their lives so they can be

equipped to serve the Lord. We

will continue to love and pray for

Olivia as we raise her under the

preaching of the Bible.

Please pray for our family

Thank you for praying for Josh,Elizabeth, Hannah, Josephand Olivia Ewing

As we travel to churches presenting our ministryPray for the health of each member of our family. Pray for safety on

the road. Our desire is to raise most of our support as close to our church

as possible, located near Atlanta, GA. We praise the Lord that most of

our support is within a six hour drive of home.As we prepare to move to Santiago, Chile

Moving can always be a difficult time. Moving countries is simply

complicated and time consuming. Pray with us about a smooth transition

to Santiago.

As we save money for our set up fundWe are still deciding whether to purchase household items in Chile or

here in the States. Shipments are not cheap however the cost of

appliances are much more expensive in Chile.

We are at 70% of ourneeded support. We praise the Lord

for how He prepares the way for us.

We would love to come and be with

the church in order that we may

share our burden for Chile. Call or

email me if you have any open

dates during which we could come.

Our goal is to be in Santiago, Chile

in October of 2012.

Our Ministry Past

and Future

Our hope is that those

saved and discipled inChile will be used of Godin a mightier way than us.

We pray the Lord will raiseup pastors, pastors wives,song leaders, lay christiansand missionaries. Thesame God that saved youand me is at work in Chile.

Pray that many will receivethe gift of salvation as wehave received it.

Elizabeth and I beganserving the Lord together

during Bible college atTabernacle Baptist Church. We were married 2 yearsinto our 4 years of collegethere in 2001. Aftergraduation in 2003 we wentfull time on deputation withMacedonia raising oursupport to go to Indonesia.

We moved to Indonesiain 2005 where we ministereduntil 2010. During the 4 years we lived in Indonesia,Elizabeth had problems withChronic Fatigue as well as ahormone imbalance. Theheat of Indonesia was verydraining on Elizabeth. Wecame back to the States in2010 during which time weprayed about the Lordsfuture plans for our lives.

It was during this time ofprayer that the Lord led us

to Chile. The climate ismuch milder than Indonesiaand the health care is morecomparable to that in theStates.

Our future ministryphilosophy can be found in 2Timothy 2:2. And thethings that thou hast heard

o f m e a m o n g m a n ywitnesses, the same committhou to faithful men, whoshall be able to teach othersalso.

1. What we learn andhave learned

2. We must commit untoothers whom are faithful

3. Who shall teachothers also

THE BIBLEWe believe that the BIBLE is

the WORD OF GOD, andthat it is divinely inspired. Webelieve in the plenary, verbalinspiration, that it is the onlycomplete and final revelationof the will of GOD to man,and the supreme, infallibleauthority in all matters of faithand conduct. We use the KingJames Bible for all teachingand preaching in English. II

Timothy 3:16; II Peter 1:20,21;Mark 13:31; John 8:31,32;John 20:31; Acts 20:32

GODWe believe in the Trinity, theunity of the Godhead. Thereare three persons: TheFATHER, The SON, and TheHOLY SPIRIT. They areequally perfect in every divine

quality, and execute distinctbut harmonious offices in thegreat work of redemption. (A)We believe in GOD theFATHER (B) We believe inJESUS CHRIST (C) Webelieve in the HOLY SPIRIT.Genesis 1:1,26; John 1:1,3;Matthew 28:19; John 4:24;Romans 1:19,20; Ephesians4:5,6

THE FATHERWe believe in God the Father,an infinite, personal spirit,perfect in holiness, wisdom,power and love. We believethat He infallibly foreknows allthat shall come to pass, that Heconcerns Himself mercifully inthe affairs of men, that He

hears and answers prayer, andthat He saves from sin and

death all who come to Himthrough Jesus Christ. Luke10:21,22; Matthew 23:9; John3:16; 6:27; Romans 1:7; ITimothy 1:1,2; 2:5,6; I Peter1:3; Revelation 1:6

JESUS CHRISTWe believe in Jesus Christ,God's only begotten Son,conceived by the Holy Spirit.We believe Jesus Christ is God.

We believe in His virgin birth,sinless life, miracles, andteachings. We believe in Hissubstitutionary atoning death,bodily resurrection, ascensioninto heaven, perpetualintercession for His people, andpersonal visible return to earth.Matthew 1:18-25; Luke1:26-38; John 1:1; 20:28;Romans 9:5; 8:46; II

Corinthians 5:21; I Peter2:21-23; John 20:30, 31;Matthew 20:28; Ephesians 1:4;Acts 1:11; Romans 5:6-8;6:9,10; Hebrews 7:25;Hebrews 9:28; I Timothy 3:16

THE HOLYSPIRITWe believe in the person of theHoly Spirit who came forth

from the Father and Son toconvict the world of sin,righteousness, and judgment,and to regenerate, sanctify, andempower all who believe inJesus Christ. We believe thatthe Holy Spirit indwells everybeliever in Christ, and that Heis an abiding helper, teacher

and guide. John 14:16,17,26;15:26,27; John 16:9-14;

Romans 8:9; I Corinthians3:16; 6:19; Galatians 5:22-26

MANWe believe that all men bynature, choice and practice aresinners, but that "God so lovedthe world, that he gave his onlybegotten son, that whosoeverbelieveth in him should notperish, but have everlastinglife." We believe, therefore, that

those who repent of their sinsand by faith receive Christ asLord and Savior will rejoiceforever in God's presence, and6those who refuse to receiveChrist as Lord and Savior willbe forever separated from God.John 3:14,16; 5:24; John 5:30;7:13; 8:12; 10:26; Romans9:22; II Thessalonians 1:9; Rev.19:3,20; 20:10;14,15; 21:18;

Psalm 51:7; Jeremiah 17:9;James 1:14; Romans 3:19;5:19; Proverbs 28:13; I John1:9; John 3:16; John 1:13; IICorinthians 5:17; Romans 8:1

ETERNAL STATEWe believe in a literal Heaven,the eternal home of theredeemed. We believe Heavento be the literal place where

the saved will live forever in theeternal bliss and blessings ofGod. We believe in Hell, theChrist-less eternity for the lost,where there will be burningand tormenting for thosewithout salvation, who haverefused to receive the gospeland Jesus Christ as Lord. Webelieve that Hell, unbelievers,

Satan and all the fallen angelsshall be cast into the lake of

fire to be tormented day andnight forever and forever.Matthew 13:41-43 Mark9:43-48; Luke 16:19-24; John14:2; 2 Corinthians 5:8;Revelation 21-22

SALVATIONWe believe salvation involvesthe redemption of the wholeman, and is offered freely to allwho accept Jesus Christ as

Lord and Savior, who by Hisown blood obtained eternalredemption for the believer. Inits broadest sense salvationincludes regeneration,justification, sanctification, andglorification. There is nosalvation apart from personalfaith in Jesus Christ as Lord.Genesis 3:15; Exodus 3:14-17;6:2-8; Matthew 1:21; 4:17;

16:21-26; 27:22-28:6; Luke1:68-69; 2:28-32; John1:11-14,29; 3:3-21,36; 5:24;10:9,28-29; 15:1-16; 17:17;Acts 2:21; 4:12; 15:11;16:30-31; 17:30-31; 20:32;Romans 1:16-18; 2:4; 3:23-25;4:3ff.; 5:8-10; 6:1-23;8:1-18,29-39; 10:9-10,13;13:11-14; 1 Corinthians1:18,30; 6:19-20; 15:10; 2Corinthians 5:17-20; Galatians2:20; 3:13; 5:22-25; 6:15;Ephesians 1:7; 2:8-22; 4:11-16;Philippians 2:12-13; Colossians1:9-22; 3:1ff.; 1 Thessalonians5:23-24; 2 Timothy 1:12; Titus2:11-14; Hebrews 2:1-3; 5:8-9;9:24-28; 11:1-12:8,14; James2:14-26; 1 Peter 1:2-23; 1 John

1:6-2:11; Revelation 3:20;21:1-22:5.

BAPTISMWe believe in baptism byimmersion after salvation withno merit for salvation in thename of the Father, Son, andHoly Ghost (Spirit). We rejectinfant baptism and any form ofsprinkling for infants or adults.Baptism is an outwardexpression of our faith in JesusChrist and simply a public

testimony of what God hasdone by His grace. Romans6:1-5; Acts 8:36-38; Acts 2;41;Matthew 3:16; Matthew28:19-20.24; John 14:2; 2Corinthians 5:8; Revelation21-22

THE CHURCHWe believe in the local church,consisting of a company of

professing, born-againbelievers in Jesus Christ,immersed on a credibleconfession of faith, andassociated for worship, workand fellowship. We believe thatto those local churches we arecommitted, for perpetualobservance of the ordinancesof baptism and the Lord'sSupper, and that God has laid

upon these churches the task ofproclaiming to a lost world theacceptance of Jesus Christ asLord and Savior, and theenthroning of Him as Lordand Master. Its scripturalofficers are pastors anddeacons. While both men andwomen are gifted for service inthe church, the office of pastor

is limited to men as qualifiedby Scripture. Matthew

28:18-20; Acts 1:8; Acts 2:42;Romans 6:3-5; I Corinthians11:23-26; Ephesians 2:19-22;Ephesians 5:19-21; 1 Timothy2:9-14; 3:1-15; 4:14; Hebrews10:23-25.7

THERELATIONSHIPBETWEEN

CHURCH ANDSTATEWe believe that every humanbeing is responsible to Godalone in all matters of faith;that each church isindependent and autonomousand must be free from anyecclesiastical or politicalauthority; therefore, Church

and State must be keptseparate as having differentfunctions with each fulfilling itsduties free from the dictationor patronage of the other.Matthew 22:21; Mark 12:17;Luke 20:25; Acts 5:29; ITimothy 2:5; Romans 13:1-7;14:7-9,12

SPIRITUAL

GIFTSWe believe that spiritual giftsare given to the church for theexpress purpose of winning thelost and edifying otherbelievers. The Holy Spirit isgiven to each believer uponacceptance of Christ and Hispurpose is to exalt and bringpeople to Christ. Speaking in

tongues was the leastimportant of these gifts and

was given as a sign forunbelieving Jews. That is whyVision Baptist Church does notteach or practice speaking intongues. John 7:37-39; 14:17;Acts 2:38; 1 Corinthians 1:22;3:16-17; 6:19-20; 12-14

ETERNALSECURITYWe believe in the eternal

security of all blood-boughtindividuals or believers andthat such inheritance isincorruptible, and undefiled,and that each believer is keptby the power of God andnothing can separate us fromHim, ourselves included. Webelieve that believers can losethe joy of fellowship with God,can grieve God and can

quench the Spirit of God inhim or her, but not lose his/hersalvation. John 3:16; 5:24;6:37-39; 10:27-30; Romans8:35-39; Philippians 1:6; Titus1:2; 1 Peter 1:5; 1 John5:11-13; Jude 24

WORLDEVANGELISM

We believe that the apostolicoffice ceased with the death of

the Apostles. We believe that itis His church that He promisedcontinual existence, tocontinue the work He starteduntil He comes again. Webelieve that the ministry ofreconciliation is committed toevery believer and all aresaints/priests of God. TheLord Jesus Christ hascommanded the preaching of

the gospel to all nations. It isthe duty and privilege of everyfollower of Christ and of everychurch of the Lord JesusChrist to endeavor to makedisciples of all nations.Matthew 16:18; 28:18-20;Mark 16:15; John 20:21; Acts1:8; 2 Corinthians 5:18-21; 1Peter 2:9; Revelation 1:6; 5:10

SECONDCOMINGWe believe in the literal returnof Jesus Christ to the clouds totake all saved people from theearth before the beginning ofthe Tribulation period. Webelieve in his bodily visiblereturn with his saints at the

close of the Tribulation periodto rule and reign for a

thousand years on earth. Webelieve that unbelievers willface God and be judged at theGreat White Throne Judgmentaccording to their works, notfor salvation, but for theirproper and rightful places inthe lake of fire. I Thessalonians4:13-18, Revelation 4:1,Matthew 16:27; Mark 14:62;John 14:3; Acts 1:11; Phil.

3:20; Thessalonians 4:15; IITimothy 4:1; Titus 2:13; ICorinthians 4:5; I Corinthians15; II Thessalonians 1:7-10;Revelation 20:4-6,11-15

BIBLICALSEPARATIONWe believe that all the savedshould live in such a manner asnot to bring reproach upon

their Savior and Lord; and thatseparation from all religiousapostasy, all worldly and sinfulpleasures, practices andassociations is commanded ofGod. II Timothy 3:1-5;Romans 12:1-2, 14:13; I John2:15-17; II John 9-11; IICorinthians 6:14-7:1
