Dear Bro. John, Thank you for your prayers for out trip to Ukraine. The Lord was pleased to graciously bless and we had a great time of fellowship the saints there. I am now safely back home trying to get ready for Sunday services. As to your comments about the saints being scatter from Jerusalem, you are correct. I do believe that all of God's saints are to be witnesses for Him wherever they are. However, this is not to endorse women preachers or teachers in the Lord's churches.
You might find that the Apostles were all left in Jerusalem (Acts 8:1) at the persecution, so the preachers who went out (whom I call the Acts 8:4 preachers, and have written a lengthy article about) were unordained, ordinary men and women, members probably of the church in Jerusalem.
I shall remember this trip and others in prayer, certainly.
If the Lord had not allowed the Devil to scatter the Apostles from Jerusalem to spread the message; we would all be in Hell. No doubt; the church the Lord set up was Missionary in practice. Bro. Paul
Yes, times are changing. God has been pleased to recover some Primitive Baptists from their error concerning Biblcal missions so that today we have Biblcal mission work going on in India, Ukraine, Phillipines, Africa and Cambodia.
