THE VOICE OF GRACE IS A BAPTIST
CIRCUIT-RIDING MISSION

Our calling is to folks in rural communities, especially those
in cattle and horse country.

OUR METHODS

We purpose to use Bible based activities as did the original
circuit-riders. Personal encounters, Bible classes, cowboy
gatherings, and community evangelism are some of the
programs used. We serve rural churches in pulpit supply,
conferences, VBS, camp meetings, and helps necessary in
new church starts.

OUR PURPOSE

We want to win folks to Jesus Christ. Most churches in rural
areas are small. Very few can reach all those in their county.
Our calling is to minister to those who are being missed by
the more traditional efforts of ministry. The primary thrust
of our mission is to guide converts into area churches. When
necessary we expect to be used to start or restart churches
under the oversight of First Bible Baptist Church of Great
Bend, Kansas or other like churches that may be closer to a
given area.

OUR CONSIDERATION

The ministry to rural America is different than in the large
communities. Ask these people and they will be quick to
tell you how different it is. The smell of new mown hay, the
call of a new calf or foul, the feel of a good saddle or a new
pair of boots, nothing in the city can take the place of that
in their life. A ministry that reaches them must build on
that life and not destroy the important foundation God has
given them.
Many of these folk are considered poor, yet they have so
many riches that they can never spend or take to the bank.
We tell our foreign missionaries not to Americanize, but to
evangelize. Our work is to bring the Gospel into the existing
environment and let the Lord convert the soul. He then will
make better the good and take away the sin.
The Bible is our guide, the Lord Jesus is our Strength, the
Holy Spirit is our overcoming Comforter, and converts to
Christ as Lord is our constant prayer.

OUR STRUCTURE

The Word teaches us to be active in home area missionary
work. This will then build all other mission work. All mission
work is important to a strong Christian and church
experience. A circuit-riders work must be built upon a
strong relationship with local churches as set forth in the
Scriptures.

OUR MOTIVATION

As I look back on my salvation experience I feel sure that if
a circuit-rider had come by I would have responded to his
ministry and it would have saved me much heart ache. No
two people have the same problems, but all can find the
ultimate cure in salvation. The real question for us to
answer is, “What is the value of one soul?” Answer that
question before considering geography or environment in our
missions labor.
God has called us the area of blue jeans, big hats, boots and
long hours of sweat and tears. God can help a lot with the
tears and bring “abundant life” to as many as receive Him.
“ How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not
believed? And how shall they believe in Him of whom they
have not heard? And how shall they hear without a
preacher? And how shall they preach except the be sent?”
Romans 10-15a.
