Dear Fellow Pastor,


May I take a few moments of your time to acquaint you with our missionary intern, Bill Smith. He and his lovely wife, Rhonda, are now entering their first stages of deputation as they prepare to take the gospel to the precious people of Belize. This couple, along with their children, is an exceptional family who has consistently demonstrated their love for each other, our Lord, our church ministry, and others.

Bill, while assistant manager with our local J.C. Penney store, served as one of our church deacons for over 5 years. He and his family have been members since 1984. The only exception was the time Bill and his family left temporarily to secure his master's degree at Baptist Bible Graduate School of Theology, Springfield, MO, where he graduated with honors.

Currently, Bill shares in many of the ongoing church responsibilities and ministries with a level of excellence and heart rarely seen today. Rhonda, while successfully balancing the many demands of today's family, also takes an active role in her husband's pastoral responsibilities as well as involving herself in our overall church ministry. Both of these individuals bring great strengths, experience, and passion for the Lord, His work, and others, to the ministry table. They will be sorely missed.

While we as their sending church family are going to strongly support Bill and Rhonda Smith, and their family in this missions endeavor, we realize they will need additional support from other like-minded ministries such as yours. Therefore, we are requesting you prayerfully consider having the Smith family to share their burden for Belize with your church family in the near future.

Thank you for your consideration in this matter. May God continue to keep His hand on you, your family and ministry.

Respectfully,

Dr. Harold Brown, Pastor
