I want you to mark a date on your calendar: Sunday, July 24. That morning, we are hosting one of the missionaries we support, Dr. Drake Williams. Drake is a professor at Tyndale Seminary in the Netherlands. Drake is part of the administrative team for the seminary, and a professor of New Testament. Drake and his colleagues train students from all over Africa, Asia, and parts of Europe. Upon graduation, most of these students return to their home countries to continue spreading the gospel. Because most of the student population of the seminary is from relatively poor countries, the seminary chooses to shift as much of the financial burden away from the students as possible. Each professor must raise half of his salary in support from other churches and individuals in order to keep serving at Tyndale.
On Sunday, July 24, Drake and his family will host a Sunday School class for adults and older children in the fellowship hall, where Drake will share in greater detail about what is happening at the seminary. Drake will also be preaching at the morning service. I do hope you are able to join us for what will be an encouraging time, hearing about what God is doing in other parts of the world!
Blessings,
