Missionary Prayer Focus
Scott & Victoria
*Last name withheld for privacy.
Scott and Victoria live in Kalamazoo, Michigan. As a member of the Pastoral Enrichment Program (PEP), Scott provides needed biblical and theological instruction to pastors in developing nations who have little or no formal ministry education. He and those on the PEP Team invest in the Lord’s servants around the globe by equipping them to better shepherd and instruct God’s people. Sometimes he has the opportunity to teach in Bible Colleges and Seminaries overseas, enabling those institutions to strengthen their academic quality and credentials. In each of these ways Scott invests in what God is doing around the world by strengthening those who are serving Him in the trenches.
Scott is also the coordinator of the Baptist Mid-Missions School of Church Planting and the Publishing Coordinator for Bibles International’s Scripture Engagement Department. The first seeks to better prepare church planters and pastors to accomplish the biblical mission. The second assists Bibles International in the production of quality materials to accompany their translations.
