A Biblically Sound Church

 

“And they were continually devoting themselves to apostle’s teaching, and to fellowship, to breaking of bread and to prayer” (Acts 2:42).

I have been involved in missions and church planting for 57 years. I have seen fads come and go through the years. Dr. Luke gives a description of the Biblically sound church in Acts 2:41-47.  Years ago Ann and I were in a mission’s conference in Dallas. The church had four banners across the front that spelled out W-I-F-E. Worship – Instruction – Fellowship – Evangelism. That is the Biblically well balanced church.

I just completed eight days preaching and teaching on sound doctrine and the cults at Hebron Baptist Church in Tegucigalpa, Honduras.

The interest and attendance continued to grow throughout the week. I am amazed at the level of maturity, and the number of young couples and university students in this conference.

With joy I can say it was a wonderful experience in a Biblically sound church. I led a successful personal evangelism conference in that church September 2016.  I returned September 2017 and gave presentations the Bible doctrines and the cults.

Last year Abide in Christ printed 1200 copies of my book on Evangelism in Depth for their mission training program and outreach. They have four missions in rural communities and have ongoing outreach in subdivisions out from Hebron Baptist Church. During the past 12 months, they have been studying the “Declaration of Faith” in the appendices of my evangelism book.

We have been invited to continue this Bible teaching ministry in Honduras at Hebron next year. The response has been very encouraging, and the need is great. The ministry in this church reaches out to other missions and pastors in a Baptist seminary.

Elmer Hererra has been pastor of this church since its beginning 27 years ago.
