Dear Supporting Churches & Individuals,

During their June 9th meeting, the CBM Board of Directors voted unanimously to appoint a team of three men to provide direction for Continental Baptist Missions following the conclusion of Bill Jenkin III’s ministry as president on July 1, 2022. As you will read in the attached announcement, I have the privilege of being one of those three as the new CBM Administrative Director.

Thirty-eight years ago, when Joanne and I were approved as CBM missionaries, we would not have imagined being in this role, but we are confident of God’s leading and eager to  serve CBM in any way that we can. You have made that possible through your financial and prayer support, and we still stand in need of that support. This additional ministry role does not come with a salary; Joanne and I will continue to be supported as missionaries.

I will also continue to serve as the Director of Church Planting for CBM (formerly called “Field Director”).

When you have asked in the past how you can pray for us, our standard answer has been, “Please pray for wisdom greater than our own”. That continues to be the specific need of which we are most conscious.

We are enthused about what God has in store for CBM, and are dependent on His grace and your prayers.

God is good, all the time!

Brad & Joanne
