The 2020 Take The Challenge Missions Banquet will be September 10th. We will be sharing all that God has done these past 12 months and looking ahead to 2021.
Because of the pandemic, this year’s banquet will be live-streamed so all our TTC friends will be able to tune in from all over the world. The banquet will be from 6:30 to 8:30 PM, so save the date and join us virtually if you are not able to make it in person.
Dear All,
We recently received an update video from Pastor ** one of three pastors TTC is supporting as they coordinate feeding programs for pastors, villagers, and poor church members in their areas who can’t work because of the COVID-19 lockdown and therefore have no food. Watch his encouraging two-minute video here. Scott is hoping to return to ** in August. Please pray for God to re-open this great harvest field.
If you’d like to help Take the Challenge fund these feeding programs, visit our eGive site and select “Feeding Program” under Choose a Fund.
Thank you for praying for Pastor ** and for those his church is serving during this critical time!
Blessings,
Scott and Patty
Are we making believers or making disciples? God has called us to join Jesus in building His church. In Matthew 28:18-20 Jesus explains how we are to do it – by Making Disciples. Come be challenged and equipped to follow Jesus’ pattern and release your church members to become Disciple-Makers.

Kenya – October 2019
Scott will return to Kenya to continue training pastors and leaders with Pastor Martin. This trip will involve sowing seeds of biblical truth into pastors in new areas as well as gathering a small group of pastors with whom he will go deeper on raising disciple-makers. During this trip Scott also hopes to hold his first pastors seminar in neighboring Uganda.
South Asia – July 2019
Scott will make his fourth trip to South Asia, in continued partnership with three different South Asian ministries. First, he will teach at a three-day pastors conference in northeast Andhra Pradesh, hosted by Pastor Stifan (“Stephen”). Pastor Stifan’s Agape School of Evangelism has trained and sent out over 150 pastors into multiple provinces over the past 18 years. This will be the third of five of Pastor Stifan’s regional conferences at which Scott will be teaching. Listen here to a testimony from the last regional pastors’ conference.
Scott will then hold six pastors seminars in five different cities in Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka. These pastors are all part of the Joshua Mission network which is led by Pastor Dass. One of the seminars will be a three-day, in depth Raising Disciple-Makers seminar, which will include the Barnabas Method, discussed in this video testimony.
Finally, Scott will hold four, two-day seminars in the Tamil Nadu area with Pastor Rajan. Rajan is one of the pastors Scott has been mentoring through an online, weekly disciple-makers group. He is a passionate disciple-maker who has traveled as many as 28 hours by train to pass on what he is learning, by hosting his own disciple-makers training in regions where westerners would not be welcome.
