Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
— John 14:6
Eric & Sarah Lantrip Eric was saved as a child. He attended Baptist Bible College in Missouri
and received a Bachelor’s degree in Missions and Bible in May 2000. He
attended Louisiana Baptist and received a Master’s degree in Christian
Counseling in May 2010. Sarah was saved at the age of 11. She was raised
in Faith Children’s Home in Tampa, Florida from 18 months to 21 years.
She attended Clearwater Christian College and received a Bachelor’s de-
gree in Elementary Education. They have three children—Luke (17), Lisa
(14) and Leanne (12). Eric and Sarah Lantrip were approved as Baptist
Bible Fellowship missionaries to Austria in May 2002. They served their
internship at the Bethany Baptist Church in Melbourne, FL. After a two
year break, the Lantrips were reinstated as BBFI missionaries to Austria in
May 2010. They have seen several former Muslims come to Christ in
Austria, through Bible studies and discipleship. Several were baptized and
many came out with clear stands for Christ. One man named Reza was
one who started out as a Muslim, then moved from Iran to the Ukraine
and became a communist and then met the Lantrips in Austria. He made a
clear profession of faith and after discipleship for 2 years began teaching
other Muslims and people from Afghanistan and Iran. They also were
able to help an Austrian, Baptist church without a pastor for 3 years. He
was able to preach many times and do baptisms within the church. This
was one of the few non-Catholic churches within Graz.
Ron & Nancy Minton Ron Minton grew up in Dumas, Texas where he was saved as a teenager at
Bible Baptist Church. He dedicated his life to the Lord at age 20 while in
the Navy, and has desired to serve Him since. He earned a B.A. in NT
Greek, a M.Div. at Grace Theological Seminary, a ThM in Hebrew and
OT Studies. He received a ThD in NT and Greek from Central Baptist
Theological Seminary. In the military, he served as a submariner and later
as a Navy Reserve Chaplain. Nancy (Gavitt) Minton grew up in Rhode
Island, and was saved at age nine under the preaching of Evangelist Hy-
man Appleman. She was raised by godly parents, attended Second Baptist
Church, and was a leader among the church teens. She won numerous
awards in high school and attended several colleges. She toured the USA
for a year with the musical-drama group, the Agape Players. Ron and
Nancy were married on July 4, 1972. They are blessed to have two grown
sons who are serving the Lord. While teaching Greek at Capital Bible
Seminary, they answered the call as full-time missionaries to Ukraine. Ron
is the director of the IBBC-International Baptist Bible College in Ukraine.
In Ukraine, Nancy takes care of her husband, keeps the house livable,
mentors and teaches women and children, does nursery work, helps with
administration and computer issues in IBBC, is active in outdoor evange-
lism, promotes hygiene and health among the students and churches, and
helps communicate with supporting churches.
UNCERTAIN FUTURE
The modern Bible-believing mission program is in grave danger today. Deputizing missionaries are finding it more difficult than ever to raise the needed funds to serve the Lord abroad. Looking at the situa-
tion realistically, we face a crisis that we dare not ignore, hoping it will disappear. Among Bible-believing Baptists there is a reservoir of funds that must be tapped to get missionaries to the fields beyond. But
that supply of funds is being challenged as it must serve the need not only of new missionary recruits, but must also bolster the growing needs of veteran missionaries who find themselves in a world where
inflation is devouring their current support. As a result, many of these veterans are actually returning on furlough to again enter the field of deputation to raise support for their budget. How does a mission-
ary continue his ministry on the field under these conditions? They must ask their supporters for additional funds, or they must come home. Will you be among those here at Southside Baptist Church who
make missions a priority in your life? Will you give by faith promise so they can go? Will you give so they can stay there? Or perhaps, will you go?(Excerpts from “The Uncertain Future of Worldwide
Missions”, David Cummins, Baptist World Messenger, Summer 2007)
Scott & Jessica Marsh Scott grew up in a Christian family going to Christian youth camps, but it
wasn’t until the summer of 1999 when he first understood that salvation
only comes through a real, personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Imme-
diately, Scott was burdened with the thought of how many people were
living without a real relationship with Christ. It was at this time that he
determined to serve God through full time, vocational ministry. When
Jessica was 17 she recognized a desperate need for a Savior. Through
unavoidable circumstances and a series of bad choices she came to a place
where there was no mistaking her need for a relationship with Jesus Christ.
Her desire and ever growing passion is for others all across the globe to
know and experience the reality of Jesus Christ. Scott & Jessica both
attended Baptist Bible College in Springfield, MO. They met during their
freshman year (2001) and were married in June, 2004. They have two
children—Violet (2) and Ruby (1). Jessica graduated in 2005 with a degree
in Education, and Scott graduated in 2006 with a degree in youth/Bible. In
2008, they both earned a missions degree through Baptist Bible College/
Louisiana Baptist Theological Seminary. During the fall of 2006 they went
on a trip to Amsterdam. It was on this trip that they recognized the great
need for Christ centered churches in Holland. After several months of
prayer, they knew God was directing them to start churches in Amsterdam
and throughout the Netherlands.
