Special Projects

David and Ruth Ann Arthurs

(Updated on March 3, 2008)

The Arthurs have been on Pohnpei running a AM and FM radio station 24 hours a day for 20 years. They have been active on the mission field in several countries for over 40 years, and are looking for a family to come and work with them with the idea of taking over this ministry in the near future. Anyone interested should contact the Mission Office.

Our current project is the Makalanga Fundamental Baptist Church Project. This is our newest church, and will seat 200 church members. The total cost will be $10,000.

We currently have three special needs:

1. Aierdi water heaters. The plumbing project at the farmhouse is going forward. There is a small brick addition being built behind the house where we plan to install three water heater units. Until then we will continue to use cold water! Thanks for praying for finances for these!
2. Church piano. The piano we have was given to us years ago and was already quite old. We are hoping to buy a good electronic piano that would not have the same maintenance needs. These are quite pricey here in Europe, ranging from $2,000.00 – $2,500.00
   Financial prayer request: $2,500.00
3. Zumarraga project. We are praying for this city and hoping God will soon help us get a Bible study going in it, and finally a church. Our son Danny is heading up the evangelistic literature and offering a Gospel of John Bible Study to all who want it. The printing expense for these will run about $1000.00.

Please pray with us for the Lord's direction regarding when to return for a furlough.

Praise the Lord for chairs provided by the Jett family and Cross County Baptist Church!

We are currently raising money to go to New Zealand for 3 to 6 months, in order to assist the Victory Baptist Church of Ashburton. This church has been without a pastor and has requested that we come for a short period to assist them, as well as to gain information as we prepare to move permanently to NZ. Please see our February prayer letter titled Church Rescue for more information, including a breakdown of expenses needed.

We are trying to establish the Pohnpei Baptist Church Camp on land already owned. Initially we would like to build 10 cabins at a cost of $450/cabin. In addition we will need a boat for transportation to the island, which will cost $6,000; and a generator which will cost around $3,000.

Andy and Becky Messer

(Updated on December 16, 2008)

We currently have two special needs:

1. Church benches for the newly constructed church. There is a fund started at World Wide for church benches. Each bench costs $64.
2. Construction of a young ladies home: this ministry will reach out to the many prostitutes, single mothers (during and after pregnancy), and other young ladies who need special help. Our goals are to win them to Christ, teach them skills for living (reading, writing, cooking, a trade skill such as sewing), and help them to understand God’s purpose for their life. The cost for this endeavor is approximately $100,000.

Sonny and Lihna Padock

We currently have two special projects:

• Church building extension: Plans and designs for the building extension are ready. It will cost around $11,560 to complete the project in its entirety.
• We are in need of a computer to be used for translation work and sermon preparation, as our old computer is giving us trouble.

Jack and Melinda Peeler

We have a need for a metal brake to do vinyl siding. The cost of one is about $1,000. There have been several times that we could have saved the price of renting one. This is the type of equipment that would be good for years.

Elsa Ramirez

(Updated on February 12, 2009)

There are several needs in my ministry:

1. Money for material to teach 3-6 year old Sunday School pupils
2. We are in need of $5000 to complete the construction of two buildings for our newest mission outreaches.
3. We need two buses in good condition.
4. We need $60,000 for our new building, as we have outgrown the current building and currently have people sitting outside listening through the open windows.
5. We are in need of a sound and recording system.
6. I need $20,000 for a down-payment on a secure home with a garage

(Updated on February 20, 2009)

Our project is the translation into Spanish of the four-book-set named The Fundamentals (Los Fundamentos). We already have the first book translated, and are beginning the second. We would like to print at least 1,000 copies when it will be finished. We are still working on that. I have formed a translating committee so now there are six people translating. We have no idea of how much it is going to cost, but would like to have funds reserved so once the translation is complete there will be no delays in printing. There is a “Fundamentals Fund” at World Wide.

Jimmy and Sharon Watson

(Updated on December 11, 2008)

We are now officially recognized by the Mexican government as a church, which means we can now buy property in the church's name instead of in the name of a member. Having done this, we are in the process of praying about and looking for the perfect property to buy. We're praying for specifics, and trust God will answer according to our desire. We want a property big enough to build a church building with classes for Sunday School, and big enough to have activities outside, in a good location that can be found easily, and with a good parking area. We also trust the Lord will supply the funds to buy the property and build the new church building. Would you please join us in praying for God to answer these major requests, and pray about what He might have you to do to help win souls here in Mexico, by way of contributing to this building project. Thank you for your prayers and support.

We need to remodel the church house bathroom and add a prophet’s chamber for visiting pastors and special speakers. These two projects would cost about $6,500.

Paul and Sherry Zimmer

(Updated on February 12, 2009)

We are currently trying to erect an additional 100 feet of radio tower on top of the 100 feet we currently have. Please pray with us about the Lord's provision for this need.
