Timothy You Never Met
By Rev. Bruce A. Howell, General Director of Foreign Missions
There are lives you've
touched; yet have never met. Paul told Timothy that the committed need to
teach the committed (2 Timothy 2:2). Passing the truth from one Timothy to
the next secures a continuous link of truth. Bible school training is essential
to spiritual growth and multiplication. It fulfills the Great Commission and
the 2 Timothy 2:2 mandate. When you commit to Ladies Ministries student support,
training projects, or Partners in Missions, you are raising up Timothys. They
are part of the committed you may never meet this side of heaven. Here's a
sampling of your giving gusto.
Gerry McLean (Nigeria) reports one of our graduates started a church under
a tree. For two years they held services there even in the rainy season but
it never rained during a single service. There was much opposition to the
planting of this church by local villagers but Brother Rock persevered. He
built a building and has over 200 members today. He now teaches at the Bible
school and has already brought three students to train as his Timothys.
Roger Buckland recently reported forty students signing up for the new Balkan
Bible Institute in Serbia. Brad Thompson, and the school in Guatemala, is
expecting 250 students this year.
Our former director and longtime friend of missions, Harry Scism told how
in 1957 he was part of the beginning of the UPC Bible School in Adur, India.
Fifty years later he went back for their anniversary Bible school graduation.
Truth is still being proclaimed as five graduated from the well attended and
blessed program. Imagine how many have been trained in half a century. Wow!
Continue to be committed. Pass the truth to another Timothy you've never met.
