One of wonderful things I get to do as Executive Director of Global Missions is discover new missionary candidates. God is still calling young people to be missionaries, the \u201csent out\u201d ones. We are always looking for those who are called to help us reach the unreached people of the world with the gospel of Christ.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In today\u2019s culture with high-tech technology, advanced communication, and even AI, we have a special need for young men and women who are able to respond to the Great Commission and spread the gospel in today\u2019s context.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For this reason, we are excited to announce the appointment of our two newest missionaries, both of whom were presented at our recent national convention in Kissimmee, Florida.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McKendre Veenstra<\/strong> has been appointed to serve as a missionary in Japan. The leaders of Open Bible Churches in Japan have long desired to have a missionary come to teach English, not only as a means of learning the language but also as a tool for evangelism. In addition to teaching English, McKendre will also be using his God-given talents to assist our churches in Japan with worship and youth ministries. This collaboration between Global Missions of Open Bible Churches and Japan Open Bible Churches is a great effort to work together to reach the Japanese people with the gospel of Christ.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

McKendre is currently itinerating in the Central Region to raise his support and hopes to go to Japan in fall of 2025. Thank you for your prayers and support! Donate to McKendre here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zac Anderson<\/strong> will be serving alongside the directors and staff of Puente de Amistad in Tijuana, Mexico. He will be leading teams and supporting existing ministries and churches in their work to reach the youth of Tijuana. Since 2010, Zac has impacted the lives of thousands of children throughout the Ohio region and around the world. His life verse is Matthew 5:16: \u201cIn the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven\u201d (NIV).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zac shares, \u201cI know what it\u2019s like to be ignored and feel unloved. My goal is to be the person someone feels comfortable talking to who will point them toward the Savior who changed my life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Zac will be itinerating in the Open Bible East Region in fall of 2025 and plans to move to Tijuana, Mexico, in January 2026. Thank you for your prayers and support!

God is still calling young people to be missionaries, the \u201csent out\u201d ones.<\/mark><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Please pray for the Lord to anoint and bless McKendre and Zac as they begin their ministry overseas. We are expecting God to do great things through their lives and ministry as they obey God\u2019s calling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
