About the
Miss ionar ies . . .
Mike was born on July 7 1949 in Odessa Texas. At the age
of
12 he joined
the Antioch Christian Church in Odessa and was a member until he left for
Ozark Bible College He dedicated himself to full-time Christian Service in
November
and
has been preaching the gospel since January 1969. During his
ministry at Schell
City
Christian
Church
the
Lord
added over 30 to His
church
the attendance as well as the giving rose and an addition was built onto the
church. In March 1971 he received a letter from Ed and Sarah Holt in Santiago
a inglh o
come down and work with the missionaries there. After prayer
fully considering the call Mike resigned at Schell City and is now raising support
to go. He will graduate in May with a Bachelor of Sacred Literature Degree.
Patsy Sheffield is also from Odessa Texas. Born August
30
1949 she met
Mike in the 9th grade
and
they were married in July of 1968. She is a member
of
the Antioch Christian Church also and has worked together with Mike in his
ministry at Schell City.
They have one son Michael Jr.
who
was born January 12 1970. He
and
his
mom and dad plan to leave for Chile in September 1971. Pray for them all as
they prepare for this work.
Recammendat ions;
We
the
members
and
Elders
of
the Schell City Christian Church do give
our
full support to Mike and Patsy for their work in Chile. We feel he is worthy of
the task he is attempting to do and place our stamp of approval upon his efforts.
Wilbert
Schmidt Sec.
Schell City Christian Church
I am sure Mike and Patsy will serve the Lord faithfully wherever they are led
by Him to go and I recommend them without reservation.
Paul Butler
Registrar—Ozark BibleCollege
I
have known Mike Sheffield for 9 years. 1 first met him during my ministry
with the Antioch Christian Church in Odessa Texas. He came
into
the church
then. 1 commend both
of
them to
you
as being most worthy of your financial
support.

Please
send
along
with this form copies of recommendations from
churches
which
will
encourag
other
churches to support
your
missionary
work.
There are
churches
which wil l not a llow
a
visiting
missionary
to speak unless a church recommendat ion can be shown. Since it is impos
s ib le for any one
person
to know
all Christ ians
in the world, this recommendation by a respon
sible
New
Testament
church
is
a
vital
help
in
persuading
others
of
your worthiness
and
the value
of
your miss ion.
Mission
Services stands
ready
to
help
you
inform HORIZONS readers
about
your
church
recommendations. Since
th e church
is sending you to the mission field Acts 13:1-3
and wil l
help
provide
the
necessary needs on
th e field,
naturally
the
church should share
the
credit
in your missionary
ministry.
One of the ways that
the church
can do this is
to
share
thei
conviction regarding your missionary minis t ry with others. Certainly,
their
words will help
convince
o the r s r ega rd ing the worthiness of your
work.
Please help
MISSION

in
March dur ing Mis sions
Emphasis

to
go, and od Is s t i l l guiding and changing
my
l i f e .
I
have always f e l t
the need
f o r world^wide evangelism.
I
had kept
a f i l e
on
another countyy from my
beginning
in school and f e l t sure
this was where od wanted
me to go.
But,
the
doors
just never
opened
I continued to pray and seek God s
w i l l
as the
end
of my senior year
rolled around. Then I
recieved
a l e t t e r from my good friends in Chii,
Ed and
Sarah
Holt. He
asked
me
just
to
pray about
i t
and I
did.
Then,
I
s a t
down
with
Gad's word and
began
to
read
the
book o f
Jeremiiik
I d i d n t
have
to read
far
to
see
God was t e l l i n g
me
^hat I was to go
even as he told Jeremiah.
So.
I plan to go and
work
with the exist ing
missionaries on the f i e l d primari ly with f ol low-up with new Chris t ians

THE BRaVN

Many of

of

good f r ie nd s o f
ours
t o dr ive t h i s summer. t was
an
old
clunker, but i t
served
it s purpose
very well
and vre drove
i t
many
miles. I t
has
been
over it,000
miles
when it decided to end it here Af t e r our t h i r
week
of
camp, we
were heading home
one Saturday morn
ing
only
60 miles from home when
the
transmission
blew up,
the
drive shaft
broke
in
ii places, and
the
motor
block
f e l l
out
on
the
ground,
a
unloaded
our
things
into
our forwarding
agents car,
said our good
byes,
and
watched the old g i r l
being
carr ied off to
her final resting place.
After the
old brown Bomb died,
it
made
Patsy
and I
stop
and think. • .we
have
no home
of
our own, and now
we have no
car .
But, then I began
to
remember tha t
Jesus never
had a
car.
He
never
had a
home,
He
didn' t
even have
a place
to s leep.
Then I
began to rea l ize

I had before, our home i s not

time of our service to

we will f ia-

How about yourself? **here i s your home? Jesus
said,
^where
your
heart
is,
that
is

After preaching and telling of our plans^ then
we
leave with the churches and
the

choice of whether to use God's
money

Two
churches have

The

In the.Old Testament, the story is v/ritten con
cerning a young
man
by the name of Gideon. He
was cabled of God to go and perform great
thingss
for
Gb;^
as well as be His spokesman.
Gideon
had
problem that
is
not unique to
him,
but to us
all.
id-that he had a lack of faith. In order to
find the will of'God,
and
to be sure Gideon 7/as
willing
to accept it,, he put out the fleece
for
God t«
honor by showing Gideon His wdll»
The
complete story is found in Judges 7,
The
whole point
in
Gideon's fleece v/as so that
Gideony,
not
God, vrauld know
for sure
that
is
what
God him to do. This is the way we have
tried live this summer. In the beginning, we
soughtrj^o see God s vrf.ll by asking for spetifi
aignq- t.^at
we might
knov7 for
ourselves?
that what
we
werb:.:tr^ng to accomplish
might

they

are both

course
of
the Church of Christ
will

MICHAEL S MEDITATIONS,
Did you hear??? Daddy has a garden I don t
think
we ll
start truck farming
just
yet, but he did look
funr^ out there
hacking
away at those weeds;:. I help
ed
him
by
pulling
up
the
weeds
he
wafe
working
on
right
then. Daddy doesn t appreciate ray help too much, be
cause
he
would raise the hoe and holler about always
in the way . h well, I
made
up for it by watering
the yard for him. I
love
to water for Daddy, because
he usually misses the buildings, himself, and the
•clothes
hanging
out to dry. But, I usually manage to
help
him
out. I don t
know hovf
much of a garden he is.
supposed
to
have, so I decided
to
take
some
of the
weeds
out for
him. Boy
J A
guy
sure has i t hard these
days. ow
was I
supposed
to
know
that
weed
was corn
Anyv/ay,
I
ipiow
Daddy likes me to help
him
in the yard.
Like the time I helped pick the old flowers, I
knew
they
were
old because they weren t flowers anymore
just little round buds. So much for ray helping
Daddy..
But, you
can help
Daddy
by
writing and telling him
i t
is
alright.
Maybe
you
have
a
little
helper
around
your house too. So long, I just
found where
the carrots
are planted. I never did like those things.
