I know that most of you have already heard by now, but I wanted to write a few lines about BIMI missionary Johnny Todd who was killed in a car wreck on Saturday evening around 7 PM the 11th of Aug. 2007.
Bro. Todd was driving home from a funeral of a church member in one of their works there in Ghana, Africa. He had just talked with his wife on his cell phone twenty three minutes before the wreck. His last words to his dear wife were, "I love you." There was a large truck that broke down in the middle of the highway with no lights or signal of any kind. Bro. Todd was driving and didn't realize the truck was stopped. The doctors said that he and the two nationals with him were killed instantly.
Please pray for his dear wife who has been battling cancer lately. I believe that at least two of their children are missionaries. One of his daughters, Deborah, is the wife of Dwayne Harrison and they are missionaries with us at Macedonia World Baptist Missions and are missionaries in Mali, West Africa.
Some of their other children are here in the USA and are trying to get to Ghana for the funeral of their dear father, who will be buried in Ghana. Please pray because I know it will be difficult coming up with the needed finances to make this long trip.
Bro. Todd and his family have done a tremendous work for God in Africa. Many souls have been saved and churches started because he gave his heart to God and the work in Africa. Missionary Johnny Todd is truly one of the all time great missionaries. We will certainly be praying for the Todd family.
Where are the replacements that will give themselves to God for the work of reaching lost souls? You can't really "replace" great missionaries like Johnny Todd and Terry Anderson, but God has someone to take up the baton of this, the greatest race on earth. The race to reach lost souls before they die without hope!
If God has touched your heart about becoming a missionary, please contact us at Macedonia World Baptist Missions. We would love to be of help to you.
