“Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame.”
(I Corinthians 15:34)Containers 44 and 45 were both delivered on the same day at our distribution center in Bangkok, even though were loaded six weeks apart in the USA. Tan and his team in Thailand did an excellent job of getting the Scriptures unloaded and then distributed to regional centers, as he always does.
I started the month off by traveling to Hattiesburg, Mississippi, to preach at Gospel Light Baptist Church, a new church started by a graduate of Texas Baptist College, Pastor Bill Breland. This church is less than a year old, and they voted to take on BEST Missions as one of their mission projects. Thank you, Pastor Breland. They saw the need was great!
I went to Jefferson, Texas, for the Spring Fellowship Meeting of East Texas. Then we went to Corsicana, Texas, for the Wednesday night Bible study with Dr. Gary Winters. This church has given to BEST Missions for several years. He asked me to come and give a report on how the ministry is doing. They saw the need was great!
Then we traveled to Spanish Fort, Alabama, to be with our good friend, Pastor Richard Ullo. His church conducted a BEST Missions Regional Conference. The church raised over $5,000 for the printing of Bibles.
Each one of these churches saw the importance of providing a Bible for folks who have never seen one in their own language. They saw the need was great!
Pastor Ullo’s conference was the best, because I got to see Tan Juntasung, a young man I have known since he was four years old, and it had been several years since I saw him. Who is Tan? He is the young man who runs our distribution centers in Thailand. He has only been married a little over a year. He is one of the dearest friends I have in Thailand, and he has given to BEST Missions so much down through the years.
Several churches and individuals have expressed an interest in supporting Tan. He has been called to full-time service to BEST Missions since last year. He is currently at 40% of his support needed. I promise you this young man is worthy of your church’s investment. If you have any questions about this young man’s ability, please call me. Please send support to BEST Missions, and please put on the memo part of the check that it is for the Juntasung family.
April 2025We went to a supporting church the first Sunday of the month, where I got to hear Tan preach in English. Usually he is interpreting for me, as he has done for me thousands of times.
We went to the Dallas area for Dr. Mike Well’s annual Baptist Leadership Conference. That is where we got to say our goodbye to Tan. He was to leave early Wednesday morning to return to Thailand.
Thank you so much for all of your prayers and support to BEST Missions. You will not see the importance of providing a Bible to folks who have never seen one until you get to Heaven.
Into all the world,
Brother Bowen
