Happy New Year! I pray that this letter finds you and your family experiencing the grace of the Lord as you seek to walk in faithfulness to Him. The new year is always a good time to reflect on God’s past faithfulness and to look forward to what we prayerfully hope to see God accomplish in the coming new year.
First, I want to say, “Thank you!” Because of your faithfulness to pray, give, and serve we saw God work in extraordinary ways in 2019. At home we expanded our local mission efforts through Impact KC, grew our participation in discipleship and weekly worship, saw hundreds profess their faith publicly in baptism, and celebrated one year of God’s faithfulness at our newest campus, Fellowship Olathe. Internationally, we expanded our reach into new countries and partnered with new organizations while providing a record number of mission trips with more people participating than ever before. We give thanks to God for His faithfulness through your giving. As the psalmist writes in Psalm 115.1, “Not to us, O Lord, but to Your name be the glory.”
Second, as we look forward to 2020, we are more committed than ever to reaching, teaching, and unleashing for the glory of Christ. We are praying some big prayers and asking God to move in extraordinary ways for the growth of His kingdom. Specifically, we are praying for God’s favor as we seek to establish Reach Church, De Soto, KS. We have recently hired Pastor Ryan McDaniel to lead this new campus. Please pray for him and his family as they transition into this new role. In the coming days you will begin to hear more about interest meetings and how you and your family can be involved in this new endeavor to fulfill the mission that God has set before us. In the meantime, head over to reachdesoto.com and sign-up to received updates.
Again, thank you for your faithfulness. My family and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity that God has given to us to serve Him as part of this family of faith known as Lenexa Baptist Church and we are excited as we look forward to what God is going to accomplish in 2020.
Again, thank you for your faithfulness in giving to the Lord and the many ministries of LBC. May the Lord continue to bless His church and His people as we reach, teach and unleash for the glory of Christ.
In Christ,
Pastor Chad

I really enjoyed reaching out to the community and praying for them. I saw the focus of my days as so much more than my “daily routine” because God has a purpose and plan for my life. I loved being part of a team of believers from Lenexa Baptist that wanted to serve Him.
When you submit yourself to God and express the desire to serve, He can use you for His purpose, His plan and His glory to reach others and you also receive the blessing.
When you meet some of the basic needs of an individual it gives you the opportunity to listen to that person, pray with that person and maybe lead them to Christ.
God is ready and willing to open doors for His love and His word to be shared wherever we are willing to go.
I learned that a mission trip is a blessing beyond what I imagined. I have asked God to show me other trips that I can participate in, ministries that I can be involved in and that I will be on mission with family and friends.
I have always struggled to evangelize, on this trip I was able to share the Gospel through an interpreter. Now I’m excited to find opportunities to share the Gospel more.
I truly experienced the presence and power of the Holy Spirit at our last worship time when the new believers were introduced and greeted, it was one of the most powerful things I’ve ever experienced.
God really showed up in a big way with supporters so I could go on this trip. He needed to break down the wall of my pride that I should “do it myself” and when I finally committed and stepped out in faith the waters parted.
I learned that even in areas of poverty and despair there is hope in the Gospel.
I have a new boldness to share the Gospel.
