OUR MISSION

Who would have known?  When Karyn and I stepped down from First Baptist, Spartanburg after all those wonderful years, we did so with the deepest gratitude in our hearts and with a renewed prayer that God would simply open the doors where and when He chose to do so.  What a year of incredible life and ministry.  We ended up spending only about 5 weeks in Spartanburg the entire year!  While we deeply missed our church family and so many friends, invitations to preach, teach and encourage came in from all over the world.  

 

In addition to my leading incredible tours to Israel and the Journeys of Paul, we have seen amazing things happen for Jesus in churches of every shape and size, conferences and conventions, teaching doctoral students (one time) at the New Orleans Seminary, preaching and teaching for Samaritan’s Purse and BGEA, major mentoring and loving on (younger) ministers and their wives and overseas missions five times this year.  Suitcases have been attached to our hips!  We have loved one another, laughed ourselves silly, loved on our most precious family, and seen so many decisions for Christ everywhere. What a year God has blessed us with.

 

And 2024 is shaping up in an exciting and meaningful way again.  Looks like we are everywhere again. Our only objective is to share Jesus with our searching world.

 

I do sense and feel a renewed power and presence of the Lord as I preach the Word of God.

 

I do want to thank so many of you for your prayers and obvious love for us.  I also want to say thank you to those who have gone to my web page and have supported this ministry financially.  These funds are singularly for ministry and allow me to go and share Christ without financial constraint or requirement.  Some are able to provide expenses and honorariums but many cannot.  Our mission in Africa, for example, could not have taken place for 6 weeks had we not had significant help with plane tickets and many other costs like car hires and accommodation needs.  Most of the places and pastors we serve have very little to give.

 

So, thank you my friends.

 

I know you will prayerfully consider a year-end gift to donwiltonministries.com  All gifts are tax deductible and both Karyn and I cannot thank you enough.  

 

Our family units are all doing so great.  Dan and Shelley in Jordan and so engaged in flying and serving others.  Greg, Abby and our 4 grands serving Christ at New Orleans Seminary and as Greg preaches and teaches everywhere it seems!!  Rob , Annabeth and our 4 grands about to begin a very exciting ministry call to First Baptist Charlotte, North Carolina!!  Just the love of God on display!  How thankful Karyn and I are as we watch, in amazement, as our family serves Jesus!

 

I pray for you and your families.  I pray for God’s power and strength to be yours in every way.  I pray for your every need and situation in life.

 

I pray for this world.  We need Jesus badly.

 

Your friend and brother,

Don Wilton
