Reflections From The CEO

Dear Fellow Kingdom Builder:

The Lord called me from veterinary medicine in 1989 to devote myself to the Great Commission. The call has taken me on a journey of teaching, training, and preaching in twenty countries. The Great Commission requires our obedience to complete our part for the cause of Christ. We must not allow the command to become merely a great suggestion. We must reach the nations with the gospel of Christ Jesus. God is at work; we must be faithful and available to His call. The challenge of Philippians 1:21 gripped my heart from the beginning and has not lessened. Philippians 1: 21 – “For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.” We are thankful for your heart to pray and give to support our team of missionaries across thirteen countries. Your prayers and investments in the kingdom are changing lives, enabling evangelism, church planting, leadership development, and physical relief. The foundation of this ministry was established by Tim and Carol Prewitt over 40 years ago. I am confident that by God’s grace, the work will continue to impact future generations until the Lord returns.
