the Conference Booklet - Missions@VFBT

WELCOME
PROCLAIM! This is exactly what our Lord and Savior asked us
to do right before He ascended into heaven. Jesus wants us to
share our faith with others – starting at home and going all the
way around the world. Of course, we cannot all go to hundreds
of foreign countries, but we can send our missionaries to help
us reach others. The Lord does not want us just to live a quiet
Christian life and shine our light. He wants us to use our voice
to share the great things that God has done for us. The greatest
thing that any of us have ever experienced is our salvation. This
is what we are privileged to share with others.
Plan on being a part of every single service and event of our
world missions conference. Not only will you receive a blessing,
but you can share a blessing by your presence and prayers for
these very special co-laborers. As we join together, the
Lord is allowing us to make our voices heard, as we
PROCLAIM the Gospel.
WELCOME
Pastor Scott Wendal

Jeremy and Liz
PINERO
Monique, Nichole, Naomi, and Abigail
Jeremy was brought up in a missionary home and was saved at the age of five in Sunday
school. At age 12 his parents changed fields and moved to Vanuatu. While in Vanuatu, at the
age of 16, he surrended to full-time ministry, but it wasn’t until he was 19 that he surrendered
to return to Vanuatu as a missionary. Liz grew up in a Christian family and got saved at a young
age. Her family was here at VFBT, and at the age of 10, she surrendered her life to the Lord under
Pastor Wendal’s preaching. Her parents were called to the mission field of Australia, and Liz got
involved in the ministry with her parents. It was during this time that Jeremy’s family was on
deputation heading to the mission field of Vanuatu. Jeremy and Liz were married in 2003, and
God has blessed them with four beautiful little girls. They have been serving in Vanuatu since
2008, and God has allowed them to grow Luganville Baptist church to a vibrant growing church.
They have seen the establishing of seven local churchs in the jungle, and have also had the
opportunity to see two new works established on the outer island of Gaua.

Hannah was saved at the age of five while attending Christian school. She
attended Piedmont Baptist College for two years and then graduated with
a nursing degree from William Carey College in Hattiesburg, MS. Hannah
surrendered to full-time missions after a Missions Conference in Yuma, AZ.
While in South Africa in 2013, she knew that the Lord was calling her to
go back to Knysna, South Africa, and start a prenatal and postnatal clinic.
She plans to use this ministry as a tool to share the Gospel, while also
attending to medical needs of women and children.
G R E NADA
Joseph and Donna
CHILDERS
Brielle and Ryan
Joseph was privileged to grow up in a dedicated Christian home, but was
not saved until September 5, 2004 in Bible college. God called him to the
mission field a month later, working on his heart through Isaiah 6:8. Donna
was born in the country of Grenada, and came to America at the age of
13. She was saved four years later after a faithful soul-winner knocked on
her door and shared the Gospel with her. God has called them to plant
churches in Donna’s hometown of Grenville, Grenada. The entire Childers
family has dual citizenship, which affords them numerous opportunities
throughout the Caribbean, Central, and South America.
PITMAN
Levi was raised in a Christian home and accepted Christ at age seven.
He has made three trips to Vanuatu and served a total of three years
there. Jenn was a bus kid and accepted Christ at church camp at the
age of 12. She served and taught in Poland, Ukraine, the Philippines,
and Vanuatu while she was in college. Levi and Jenn grew up in the
same church and were married June 27th, 2015. They are burdened for
the souls of Vanuatu and feel God’s call to help get the Gospel to these
people. Levi speaks Bislama, the trade language, and they are familiar
with the customs and culture.

assurance of her salvation. Kim moved to Michigan as a young adult and

FAITH
PROMISE
The Faith Promise plan of missions giving is a scriptural and systematic method
of supporting world evangelism through the local church. Each person decides on
an amount they believe God wants them to give, making a promise to God to give
that amount. Filling out a Faith Promise Card is not a pledge to the church, but it
helps the church to estimate its probable missions giving to better plan missions
projects and take on new missionaries for support.
Let us step out by faith and give, trusting God to supply.
