Morningview Baptist Church

Ecuador Mission Trip
June 26 – July 3, 2009

Pastoral Resource Packets

One of the key aspects of our Ecuador Mission trip next month is the biblical books we’ll provide for Ecuadorian pastors and leaders.  The list we’ve assembled should be helpful in equipping and encouraging these men to lead their families and churches.  We would like for our Morningview families to know the book list and consider giving to help provide these resources for the pastors/leaders.  Each ‘Pastor Packet’ contains a study Bible, a commentary and various Christian books.  The retail value for each ‘Pastor Packet’ is about $165.

Here is a look at some of the books each Pastor or leader will receive in a Spanish translation:

For personal devotion and study:
Pierced by the Word by:  John Piper
Desiring God by: John Piper
Systematic Theology by: Wayne Grudem

For family biblical training:
Shepherding a Child’s Heart by: Ted Tripp
The Cross Centered Life by: C.J. Mahaney
The Gospel According to Jesus by: John MacArthur

For training in biblical truth we have:
How to Get the Most out of the Word of God  by:  John MacArthur
Commentary on Ephesians, by John MacArthur

For Church leadership:
God is the Gospel  by:  John Piper
Let the Nations Be Glad by:  John Piper
The Pastoral Ministry  by: John MacArthur
The MacArthur Study Bible

Please prayerfully consider how you can give towards a ‘Pastor Packet’ to help support these men.  We’d love for each Morningview family to consider giving one fourth of the packet cost or about $40.  To fully fund one ‘Pastor Packet’ would cost around $165.   Whatever part you can have in helping with this resource ministry would be greatly appreciated.  These packets will be a great resource for the Ecuadorian church leaders for many years to come. Our team will be spending four evening sessions in targeted ‘pastoral training’ with these men.  Thank you, church family, for your support of this ministry.
