Dear Co-laborers in Missions,

Greetings in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our only Lord and Saviour.

It was inevitable. After thirty-three years of missionary service, our beloved friend and brother Rev. Earl Pinckney officially retired from serving as a missionary for Westminster Biblical Mission. The board then unanimously voted to make him “Missionary Emeritus.” This was the first time this has ever been done by our mission.

Dear Friends and Co-laborers in Missions,

Greetings in the blessed name of our Lord Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of the World. (John 4:42)

The prophet Malachi, nearly four hundred years before Christ gave the great commission, wrote these words, ‘My name will be great among the nations, from the rising to the setting of the sun. In every place incense and pure offerings will be brought to my name, because my name will be great among the nations,’ says the LORD Almighty (Malachi 1:11).

NOVEMBER 2005

Dear Friends and Co-laborers in Missions,

“Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”

I’m happy to report that we had a wonderful banquet and board meeting in Cape May , New Jersey this past month. Although we felt a real void with the absence of Dr. Robert Rapp, who was unable to attend due to a medical procedure for his heart, we were once again encouraged by the reports from our mission fields. If you would like up to date information on any of our fields, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

Pakistan Report, Spring 2005

Dear Partners in Missions,

Jesus told Peter that on the basis of his testimony as to who Jesus was, He would build His church and the gates of hades would not overcome it (Matt. 16:18).

It is with thanksgiving we acknowledge that we are but the Lord’s workmen involved in building His church in Pakistan, especially as we face challenges in the work. As threats of the work come in, it is our repeated prayer that the Lord watch over His work. We know He will. Read more…

Pakistan Report, Winter 2004-2005

Dear Partners in Missions in Pakistan,

“Enlarge the place of your tent, stretch your tent curtains wide, do not hold back; strengthen your stakes.” Isaiah 54:2

It is thrilling to see how the Lord has expanded the work in Pakistan in spite of the violence and insecurity facing the whole Christian world and with Pakistan right in the middle of it.

Since my last letter much has happened; there was the summer retreat with about 120 people participating. All the schools, Bible literacy centers, the clinic and the Lahore Council of Churches have been open and functioning. However, at Calvin’s Academy No. 3, the enrollment was lower than hoped because of the violence in the area. When three Americans who were participating in the annual convention went to visit, they had to enter at the rear, to avoid calling attention to their presence. Even the five-day convention, which normally had over 2,500 in attendance, had to meet in a room that would hold only 300 people because the government had forbidden public religious gatherings. The last day they did set up a tent and had about 600 in attendance. All went well. The three Americans who participated in the convention have returned to the USA very enthusiastic in their support of the work and have encouraged others to participate by praying for and giving to the work.

Dear Partners in Missions,

God is our refuge and strength, an ever present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear…” Psalm 46:1, 2a.

It is a great joy to participate in some of the activities of the Kingdom of God in Pakistan. Each day brings new challenges and we can see God providentially enabling His people to meet them. We are engaged in a spiritual battle with the forces of darkness, and the cause does not advance without struggles. Read more…
