PACE = People Advancing Compassionate Evangelism
By Jay Walsh, Director of PACE
PACE is the arm of ABWE that helps missionaries meet the unprecedented
opportunities of world missions. Since its inception in 1980, more
than a million dollars have passed through the PACE account to
ABWE fields around the world.
- Recife Brazil...a church secretary writes, "How thankful
we are for your $3,000 gift for our church. Lighting has been
installed, and we are building a fence around our property to
help keep out
thieves and dogs. On behalf of everyone of the Igreja Batista
Emmanuel Church in Olinda, thank you very much."
- Missionary
Gene Hayden writes after receiving a $20,000 gift for the Paardeberg
Mountain Camp in South Africa, "What
a gift! For several years we have rented camp facilities but
now we can
have our own camp on a 400-acre mountain and boating pond. We
have ten new churches with up to 1500 people coming to the camp.
Teen
rallies draw over 150 young people. The camp will give us a great
new scope for ministry to the people in Cape Town."
- Missionary
Geoff Williams writes, "Just a note to tell you
how essential the PACE gift was to the Chia Baptist Church in
Columbia. Apart from the generosity of PACE we would not have
been able to
complete Phase 1 of the project. Phase 1 is a beautiful building
that now houses the church and provides for a fellowship hall
and a pastor's apartment. Thank you for your help in this growing
ministry."
People involved with PACE are called pacesetters for world evangelism.
They join the program by making a faith pledge to support each
month. PACE receives a steady flow of requests. To meet all of
those needs, we are asking the Lord to give us a new host of
pacesetters.
