Matthew Sutton here from Verity Baptist Church Manila just providing you just a video trying
to recommend a couple soul winning groups here in Asia for you that maybe are online
listeners and you're not aware of it.
One group is in Singapore and we have people from Singapore that we are friends
with that have visited our church that donate from time to time and a lot of overseas
Filipino workers that are in Singapore and they've been devotedly going soul winning
for more than a year and they've been even not always having a great church and from time
to time they've been listening to our live streams in Manila and then going out soul
winning together and you know I just recommend that if you're in Singapore or if you ever
visit there or if you're anywhere near there, there's a great group of people that
love the Lord that go soul winning each week and honestly I really believe that
if you want a great church start in your area, you know honestly it's going to start
with a need for a church, you know the things that are wanting the Bible says
and so soul winning's kind of the first step and so if you're in that area and you say
well if there was a great church I'd be there every week, well why don't you be the start
of that great church because there's already people that are there going soul winning,
motivating each other.
I just encourage you and recommend you to go if you're in Singapore and if you're
not sure who I'm talking about or where they're located, you know send me a message
on Facebook, send me an email and you know I'll get you in touch with those people
because they're people that love the Lord, they're great friends of ours, they're
doing a great work over there in Singapore.
The other group I wanted to recommend is the group in Hong Kong and we had a brother
Bo and his wife were with us this weekend visiting from Hong Kong and you know I've
known the people from Hong Kong here for about a year and a half or so, we had the
first missions trip and I met a couple of guys in 2018 and you know then we kind
of stayed in contact with them, we're friends with them, they visit from time to time,
they've sent donations and things such as that, they're great friends of ours and
they're doing a great work over there and they're devotedly going soul winning every
single week and they do have churches that they go to on Sundays but they're
holding preaching services on Saturday, they're just kind of preparing for the
future of a possible good church and you know honestly you know if you're in
Hong Kong and you say wow there's no great church, you know join up with
that group of people because there's still great preaching they're hearing on
Saturdays, they're going soul winning, they're trying to prepare for a future
great event in Hong Kong and you know I truly believe where there's a need
God's going to bless that area and one great example is with Sure
Foundation Baptist Church in Vancouver, Washington and they're obviously
tearing it up, their services, they've grown a lot, great soul winning going on
there and you know also they've started a lot of churches, they've had
great success as a church and it really started because there's a group of
people without a great church going soul winning together all the time, putting in
big effort, traveling several hours to meet up for soul winning events such as
that and you know God bless that area and they have a great church now and
honestly I believe that's the answer throughout the entire world you know
instead of waiting for a good church why don't you prepare for that good church
by going soul winning and being very devoted and look if you have a great
church to attend you know obviously just attend that great church but the
reality is that outside of the United States in a lot of countries there is
no church even right in the gospel, there's no church that's even close to
being a good church and so in some areas you really just have to be
self-motivated to kind of meet up and go soul winning together and if you're in
that situation
hey you know what just be motivated on your own and you know find a few people
that are like-minded you know I believe there's like-minded people in every
country pretty much in the world and so basically you know meet up together
go soul winning and you know eventually you know maybe a great church will be
starting in that area and another thing to consider is that you know it's
possible God is leaving you in a specific area because there is nobody
else to do the soul winning and maybe there is no great church but maybe God
wants you in that area so I just encourage you to be self-motivated and if
you're out there in Singapore or in Hong Kong and when you visit there from
time to time I just want you to realize there are great soul winners out
there doing the work and you know let me know if you're not sure who they
are how to get in contact with them but they're starting great works over
there and they're getting tons of people saying both those those
locations anyways thank you and God bless
