“I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.” (Galatians 2:20)
My life is now one of traveling and raising funds for printing, shipping, and distributing the Word of God for believers of Southeast Asia and to reach non-believers with the Gospel through the printed Word. If any man dies in Southeast Asia and goes to Hell, let him die with a copy of the Word of God in his hand.
Driving over 4,500 miles in September, I preached in several churches and attended two major conferences. I again had the privilege to teach a class to missions students at Hyles-Anderson College for my good friend, Dr. Mark Bosje. I want to thank Pastor Steve Crane, Pastor Keith Bell, Dr. Jeff Fugate, and Pastor Barry Kirves for giving me the opportunity to help others see the great need for Scriptures in Southeast Asia.
At Landmark Baptist Church in Evansville, Indiana, Pastor Barry Kirves asked me to preach and teach on Faith Promise giving. Pastor Kirves later called and reported to me that the church had a significant increase in their commitment for World Missions. Praise the Lord!
The Lord allowed me to see 8 come to Christ, with 1 following the Lord in baptism. I am so thankful the Lord still uses me to win souls as I travel. I pray every day for someone to cross my path that I can give the Gospel to. My wife and I celebrated our 49th anniversary on September 24. God is so good. He continues to meet all of our needs daily. I’m so thankful for God’s protection while traveling so many miles with no breakdowns or delays and for God allowing me to keep all of my scheduled meetings.
We are so thankful for all those who have given cash donations for printing Bibles and making it possible to ship the Scriptures to Southeast Asia. We have another container scheduled to be loaded on October 30 at the BEAMS warehouse in Gulfport. Praise the Lord! I have already made plans to be in Thailand December 14 through January 8 to receive this container. Please pray for its safe arrival.
Into all the world,
Brother Bowen
