BIMI Reseeding America
USA Field Conference
By Bob Larson
We try to make “encouragement” our number one priority at
every BIMI USA Field Conference. Some of our missionary
church planters labor in very remote areas of our country and all
of them need the fellowship of other families who are in ministry.

This year our USA Field Conference was held April 7–10 and was
hosted by Talking Rock Road Baptist Church in Branson West,
Missouri. Pastor Delbert Davis and his staff did a wonderful job
of preparing meals, planning family events, and coordinating
hotel arrangements. They also provided shuttles to and from the
airport and motel and let us use their church facilities for all our
sessions. Additionally, the church put together a great children’s
program each morning for our missionary kids.

Reseeding America would like to thank all the churches that
contributed to the expenses of housing our missionaries at a
nearby motel and providing funds for the meals and family
events. Dr. J.B. Godfrey was our main speaker for our USA
Field Conference and God used him in a great way to help and
encourage our people. Retired Air Force Colonel Chris Dooley
spoke on Christian leadership and did a wonderful job! We also
want to thank Stanley Heights Baptist Church in Chattanooga,
Tennessee, for taking care of the expense of flying out Assistant
Pastor Ed Alexander and Intern Jordan McDowell to conduct
sessions for our teens. Our missionary teens loved each of the
sessions and bonded with each other and the speakers. All of us
had an opportunity to hear Dr. John Bailes preach a challenging
message. Please pray for our BIMI Reseeding America families.

A New Building for
Legacy Baptist Church
By Bob Larson
This story ought to encourage any church planter who is out there planting a church in
a metropolitan city or close to a metro area. Church planter Mike Clark and his family
went to Washington, Pennsylvania, on the south side of Pittsburgh to plant Legacy Baptist
Church in May of 2011. He was with our ministry (BIMI Reseeding America), and my wife
and I came to help his family get his church started. Four years later the church was self-
supporting and the Clarks came off all mission support. They have faithfully and patiently
waited on God to provide their church with a building to house their ministry. Recently, I
had the privilege of walking through their newly constructed church building! They hope
to be in this new structure by June of 2024. Now
unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the
power that worketh in us, Unto him be glory in the
church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world
without end. Amen (Ephesians 3:20–21).
