Missions Commissioning Service
This coming Lord’s Day evening I will have the special privilige of bringing the message for Jason Rice’s Commissioning Service in Grays Lake, Illinois. Jason was on our very first Baptist Youth With A Vision in 1996. Since then he has finished college, married, achieved high marks in completing seminary at Calvary Baptist Theological Seminary in Lansdale, PA, and has completed a Th.M at TEDS. He and his wife have two children and are planning on serving the Lord on the mission field. They are serving under the auspices of ABWE. I am very honored to have interacted with Jason’s zeal for missions over the past 11 years and I am looking forward to a wonderful service tomorrow night.
Jason’s vision for missions is contagious. I believe that he had a very significant role in starting a missions prayer emphasis at Northland Baptist Bible College before his departure, a ministry that was taken up by his friend Ben Eckman. Thank God for these men and their vision. Thank God for men whose vision for mission is going deeper than the superficial cliché-tortured area of ministry we call missions.

Very cool.
Jason & I were classmates @ CBTS. (We both have sons named Gavin born just a few weeks apart!) I am thrilled to hear what the Lord is doing.
Where are they going?
I pray churches will see the value in a trained man going to the mission field and will support him in significant ways, so he and his family can get there soon!
