What a wonderful picture of the body at work.  Imagine an immigrant Chinese congregation in the US sending out a caucasian guy to work with ethnic Albanians reaching Muslims in the Balkans. You couldn't have written a more comprehensive picture of God's plan for his church if you tried, at least I couldn't have.

This weekend Radstock welcomed our newest church, Stillwater Chinese Baptist Church (scbchome.org) into the network as they are preparing to send one of their brothers overseas. As the US Director I had the privilege of participating in the commissioning of Matt Barton from Stillwater, Oklahoma, USA. Matt is being sent as an extension of the body there in Stillwater. He has been an active participant in their gospel work among Chinese university students for several years now and has made several trips to Kosova since 2005. He will be heading off to Kosova on the 15th of October to work with Rruga e Paqes church, as they strive to reach their neighbors including, some of the 5000 Chinese living in Kosova.  In addition, Matt will be continuing Radstock's Business as Mission vision in Peje. Pray for him and pray for SCHC as losing Matt will be a great spiritual sacrifice for them.
