Greetings in Christ Jesus!
I hope you are well and enjoying a good summer.
I'm happy to report that things are going very well for Mission Journeys and Global Bible School.
We’ve had a great year so far with encouraging reports from our ministry projects around the world.
Our Executive Director, Wayne King, just left for an extended mission trip, taking place from July 29th through September 9th. This trip will include ministry in FOUR countries: India, Tanzania, Malawi, and Burundi.
If you can help at this time, please see the way to give below. If you cannot help right now, we would urge you to pray for our missionary efforts around the globe. Your prayers ARE making a difference! We greatly appreciate it!
In Him,
Greg Herriford
Development Coordinator

Update from BELIZE:
The Underwoods celebrate 16 years in Belize!
The Lord continues to do good work through the Barnabas Project in the Central American nation of Belize. We are the only ministry/mission of the Independent Christian / Church of Christ in the entire country of Belize.
Dan Underwood and his wife, Maria (Toni), have been serving faithfully there for 16 years (since June 14, 2010)!
The Cotton Tree Church continues to do very well! Dan continues to preach each Sunday morning, although now in a wheelchair. Please continue to pray for Dan’s health as it continues to decline.
On July 31, 2026, Dan reported the following Praises:
More people are taking an active part in leading different aspects of the ministries of the church - we have moved from being a church that is considered a "mission field" (needing help from others) to a "mission force" (having a strong emphasis on both domestic and foreign missions. We presently have a mission team on a 10-day foreign mission trip - all self-funded - our small groups (one for men and one for women) are producing fruit. What is being learned/shared in these groups is being taken back into the Body, and peer ministry is taking place. Those individuals from the small groups are encouraging the new members/immature Christians to grow in their relationship with the Lord.
As a result of that, we see the health of the church improve and a greater amount of peer evangelism being done, reaching a greater number of people in the village with the Good News.
We've seen 12 baptisms so far this year!
Galatians 2:10
"All they asked was that we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I had been eager to do all along."
