Every time we get together for a new family picture, I (Steve) blink a couple of times and ask myself, “where has the time gone?” This is especially true of the above three pictures. The first was taken on a chilly day in November 2021. We had been BCP missionaries for only a few months and were working on making our website. The second was taken when we officially joined Constantia Center Baptist Church (CCBC) as their missionary pastor family in August 2022. The last was taken this past Sunday, March 31, on our last day at CCBC.

If you look at London and Calvin, they have changed so much over the past few years. London no longer looks like a little girl, but has become a young lady. Calvin has lost his baby face and now looks like a young gentleman.

This reminds me of James 4, where we read that our life is like a mist – it appears for a little time and then vanishes. In response, we are not to boast in ourselves but rather are to rely upon the Lord. We ask that the Lord continues to teach us to number our days so we may get a heart of wisdom! We want to be joyfully obedient in serving our Savior and Lord, knowing that each moment is significant!

This past Sunday, as I shared above, was our last at CCBC. With many tears, we said, “see you soon!” to the church we have loved for the past two years. It is incredible how God knit our hearts together. They have become family to us! We’ve mourned together, rejoiced and sang together, laughed during birthday parties and meetings, wrestled with sin, prayed for one another, encouraged each other, and more. While it is hard to step away, we rejoice knowing that Christ is the head of the church! We have complete assurance that He who began a good work in them will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ! What blessed assurance we have serving our God who does not lie and does not forsake us! Each of His promises will come true and He will provide for CCBC long after we have gone. Our God is so good to us.

Our mission statement: Through the grace of God and His word, the redemptive works of Christ, and the sanctifying efforts of the Holy Spirit, we encourage and equip the body of Christ in order to ensure its members, both near and far, are enduring in the lifelong work of glorifying God and discipling faithful men and women who will be entrusted to continue this work until our Lord and Savior returns.

We are passionate for the local church. We desire to see churches disciple their members to grow in adoring Him, loving one another, sharing the hope of the gospel, and living transformed lives. You can learn more about partnering with us on our website:  wynnmissions.com/partner
