This past Sunday, we had the privilege to have 3 souls baptized, and what’s more exciting, is that it was in another language.

Many have asked the plan for our survey trip to Thailand.  So, this is our plan. Why go on a survey trip anyway? 1.  Because my eye affecteth mine heart. I know the Gospel, and I have read the stats, talked to people that have been there, and I know Thailand’s fate without the Gospel, but […]

Under his experienced leadership, Vision has gone from meeting in a basement, […]

Scott Newton has been around missions and world evangelism since he was just a young boy. Growing up on the mission field in Portugal, Scott saw, first hand, a country that is without the gospel on every street corner. Living in the United States, where we openly have the gospel, it can be easy to […]

Anyone who goes through school, home, Christian, or public, can tell you that it can be a tough place. There are very few true Christians in schools today, and many of them are confused on how to serve the Lord in school. And that’s why Vision Baptist is going to have a Battle Cry service […]

What the Summit means to me I’ve only been to one Summit in my life, but it had a large impact on my life. Granted, I go to the Summits and the Leadership Camps having already surrendered to being a missionary on the foreign field, and so my point of view may be different than […]

That equates to 16% of the total members.  Those missionaries are going to 8 different countries on 5 different continents.
