Saved by His Grace

I grew up in Adrian, Michigan. When I was just a small child, my parents divorced, and I lived with my dad. I don’t recall ever going to church, and as a teen I chose to live without direction or proper standards. Through a series of poor choices, I became very rebellious and, at the age of nineteen, found myself making going downhill quickly.  I met some nice folks from Berean Baptist Church and they shared the Gospel with me. Upon hearing the Gospel for the first time in my life, I readily accepted Christ as Saviour on February 28, 1990. I spent the next two years getting to know the Lord. Daily I spent hours upon hours in prayer and Bible reading. I became a student of the Bible and had an unquenchable desire to grow. I witnessed to the others around me the best I knew how.

In the spring of 1991, I received some preaching tapes that God used to call me into the ministry. They were all by the same pastor, except one. That particular tape was by Dr. Jack Hyles. It was through this tape that God called me to preach. I was rebellious and told God that He couldn’t use me, because I had messed up my life too much. But God was at work in my life.

In January of 1992, I began attending Berean Baptist Church pastored by Dr. Mike Cox. I was baptized soon after that. God was still at work. I knew He wanted to use me, but I didn’t think I was a qualified candidate. I sought counsel from Dr. Cox and an assistant pastor. They assured me that God could use anyone He chose, and that “if God wants you to do something, the best thing to do is to just go ahead and do it.” I surrendered to God’s will for my life and made preparation to move to Northwest Indiana to attend Hyles-Anderson College.

I met my wife Robyn in 1989; we were high school sweethearts. Dr. Cox’s wife led her to the Lord on February 28, 1990. We were married September 4, 1992. Soon after, we were expecting our first child, due the following September.

In December of 1993, my wife, my three-month-old son, and I packed up a truck and moved to Indiana. I still didn’t know in what capacity God wanted me to serve. God began to plant the seed of missions in my heart, and I watered it with prayer. That seed began to grow. God was directing us towards missions. During a mission conference held at the college, God confirmed that call to missions in my life. I went forward that Sunday and surrendered to give my life to reach the world with the Gospel.

I started full-time deputation January 8, 2003, and graduated from Hyles-Anderson College on January 29, 2003, with a bachelor of science in pastoral theology. I was ordained into the Gospel ministry on October 18, 2003. On November 29, 2005, we left for Ireland to start the Anchor Baptist Church. After turning this work over to another man, God directed me to start a new Bible study in another part of the country. God also opened several doors to help other churches and ministries get started. We have had the privilege to minister throughout the country, as well as in several places throughout Europe. We are honored to have had these opportunities in the past and are excited for further opportunities to serve Him in the future.

After 13 years or being a full time missionary to Ireland, the door began to close due to changing immigration laws.  However, when God closes one door, He always opens another.  In August of 2016 I sought counsel to serve full time with a ministry called Wings Bearing Precious Seed.  WBPS is a Worldwide Scripture Distribution ministry.  As of January 2017, I have served with Wings and have had the privilege to have a part in sending millions of Scripture portions throughout the world as well as serve on several mission trips to help missionaries on the field.

Elias and Robyn Correa Prayer Letter: Winter 2024

Elias and Robyn Correa Prayer Letter: Winter 2024Noteworthy News

Where did 2023 go? We are thankful for all God did through our supporting churches last year and our Setting Them Free in ’23 projects. By God’s grace, and your generosity as well, we had a great year, shipping 14.3 million Scriptures around the world to a total of 25 nations (see details on Page 2). We are excited about our new theme, Sowing More in ’24! In II Corinthians 9:6, we find these words: “. . . He which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.” We want to sow more than ever before and, by God’s grace, reap more than ever before. Our goal is to ship 24 million Scriptures to 24 nations on all continents, as God enables. Remember, while there is power in the printed Word of God, it does no good sitting in warehouses! For more information, please look inside our newsletter. Also, we invite you to visit our updated website, WingsBPS.org.

Prayer Petitions

Please pray that the Lord would mightily use the 14.3 million Scriptures shipped to 25 countries around the world in 2023. Pray that God would enable us to Sow More in ’24 by providing His Word to needy souls. Pray for the container in Nigeria to be released and delivered finally, sooner rather than later. Thank you for partnering with us to get the Word of God to a lost and dying world through your prayers and giving! We believe in the power of prayer and are thankful for your support. Thanks again, and may the Lord bless you as you faithfully serve Him.

Correa Chronicles

We praise the Lord for each of you and thank you for another year of partnering with us in getting the Scriptures out and reaching the lost. We rejoice in the glorious victories and ways the Lord met our needs in answer to prayer. We are excited to see what 2024 brings and look forward to Sowing More in ’24 for the glory of God!

We did have some struggles through 2023, but the Lord has been faithful. Robyn is still recovering from a severe case of shingles. She contines to deal with some of the after effects. We covet your prayers in this matter. Thank you for all of your love, kindness, faithfulness, and support over the years! We love and appreciate you very much!

*********************************************************************

Praise the Lord, thanks to your faithful prayers and financial support, over 14 millions Scriptures were distributed around the world in 2023. With your help, God enabled us to ship Scriptures to the following 25 countries: Angola, Aruba, Bahrain, Brazil, Chad, Chile, China, England, Eswatini, Guatemal, India, Lebanon, Libya, Mexico, Micronesia, Mozambique, Philippines, Serbia, South Africa, Tajikistan, Thailand, Trinidad, United States, Wales, and Zimbabwe. Scriptures in the following 13 languages were shipped: Chichewa, Chinese, English, Farsi, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Portuguese, Sepedi, Siswati, Spanish, Tamil, and Telugu. Nations and languages in bold italics were shipped for the very first time in 2023.

We thank each and every one of our supporters for making all of this possible. Please accept our appreciation, and thank you for investing in Setting Them Free in ’23! Only eternity will reveal all of the fruit that has been added to your account. Following are a few pictures from 2023.

Sowing More in ’24

Our theme for 2024 is Sowing More in ’24! Our goal is to ship 24 million Scriptures to 24 nations and a container to every continent, as God enables. Remember, while there is power in the printed Word of God, it does no good sitting in warehouses! There are three ways in which you can help us with Sowing More in ’24!

1. Pray – Use our updated World Prayer Map (free upon request).

2. Participate – Go with us on a Scripture-distribution missions trip.
• Jesús 4 Juliaca (Peru in April)
• The Gospel 4 Gabon (June)
• Christ 4 Colombia (August or November)

3. Provide – Give so that others may receive the truth of the Word of God—$1.00 will ship a whole Bible!

Please consider a special gift to help us with Sowing More in ’24! We have upcoming shipments to Samoa and Peru and trips to Peru, Gabon, and Colombia. Feel free to contact us for more information on any of these particular projects or to have us present one of them in your church.

Thank you for your time and consideration. May the Lord richly bless you as you faithfully serve Him.
