Donate through Macedonia World Baptist Missions

"The Gospel Boat Ministry is a ministry of Love Valley Baptist Church in Kings Mountain, NC , Pastor Barry Philbeck, and  operated by Missionary David Ballinger. He is serving the Lord in the Grenadine Islands assisted by Macedonia World Baptist Missions. Brother David has been laboring in the islands full time since 2014. 
The Lord has placed a burden on Brother David’s heart to begin evangelistic efforts on the surrounding islands with the goal of planting doctrinally sound Baptist churches. January 21st, 2021  we bought the boat supplied by the sacrificial giving of God's people. We are beginning to get things organized and ready to begin reaching out to the other islands. 

How the boat will be used 
    Transportation 
A boat is one of the most common ways of transportation in the Caribbean Islands.
In order to effectively travel between each of the islands we must travel by boat. 

        
       The boat will be used to transport the Ballinger family as they minister on a  weekly basis in the Grenadine Islands.
        
        The boat will be used to transport the Gospel tent and supplies for Gospel tent meetings, bible camps, VBS, and more. 


        The boat will one day, Lord willing, be used to take national pastors and  preachers to areas that need the Gospel.


    Accommodation
      The boat will be used to sleep the Ballinger family as they conduct weekly bible studies and ministry in the Grenadines,
     and others that help  with tent meetings, camps, revivals, etc..



    Disaster Relief 
       In the event of a hurricane or other disasters, the boat can be used to assist other church ministries in the transportation and distribution of                                       relief supplies throughout the Caribbean islands as the Lord provides.


How you can help     
    Monthly support of the boat operations
    One time donation for the purchase of the boat 
    Labor in the fields

Canouan 

Picture
Population: 2,000 

Baptist churches: 0 


    God has placed a burden on our hearts for the island of Canouan.  Nearly 2,000 people with no Gospel-preaching Church

Our hearts are greatly burdened to reach the people of Canouan with the Gospel. 
Our first step will be to hold a week or two-week  long tent meeting, and follow up with weekly Bible studies. 


Union 
Population: 2,500

Baptist churches: 0 


    The last island in the Grenadines is Union Island.  The few days that we were there on our survey trip,
we were unable to find a Baptist church. Union has two main villages, Ashton and Clifton.  Much like Bequia and Canouan, we believe the  first step will be to hold a one or two-week tent meeting,  We praise the Lord that the needed funds for the tent meetings have already been provided.
