Presbyterian Missionary Union is a non-profit missions agency associated with the Bible Presbyterian Church. Our purpose is
to advance the cause of missions that are biblically based and practiced and to stand against any compromise of the saving gos-
pel of Jesus Christ. PMU is directed by a Missions Council of Christian leaders who volunteer their time to guide the ministry.
To learn more about missions opportunities through PMU, or to learn more about the BPC please contact us. The Missions
Banner is published ten times a year and is distributed without cost to interested individuals and churches. It seeks to promote
the clear stand of the BPC by providing a biblical perspective on issues, fads, and theories in missions and church development.
Our Editor is Len Pine, and our Publishing Coordinator is Tito Lyro.

The Paauwes and a BPCWA Team Travel to Esperance


Dr. Ed Paauwe and Lehia recently traveled to a town on the south coast of Western Australia. Esperance is about
450 miles from Perth and the purpose of their trip was to encourage the folks at the Windabout Lakes Christian
Church and be of help to them. Five others from the BPCWA (Bible -Presbyterian Church of Western Australia)
joined the Paauwes on the trip to Esperance—an all-day drive,
mostly on two-lane country roads.
The group enjoyed warm fellowship with Pastor and Mrs. John
Barlow and the Windabout Lakes church members. Ed preached
at the worship service and the team presented two special songs.
Sunday afternoon one of the team members participated in evan-
gelism and other team members visited in the homes of some of
the church families.
Now back in Perth, Ed and Lehia continue with their varied
ministries at the BPCWA. Evangel Bible Institute begins a new
semester on August 2, 2006 and Rev. Paauwe will teach New Tes-
tament Survey. A video course on Crisis Counseling by Dr. Jim
Berg of Bob Jones University will be presented and the Greek stu-
dents will continue their studies.
Ed and Lehia are thankful for your faithful prayers and support
for their ministry in Perth as well as for their travels to other ED AND LEHIA PAAUWE
churches and youth camps throughout Australia. Pray, too, for Esperance, Western Australia
God’s protection and blessing on their son Daniel. In August he will be deployed to Iraq for one year.

THE B OLIVIA TEAM ARRIVES HOME!


Tired? Oh,yes. Grateful to be going home? Absolutely. Hungry for pizza? For sure. Looking forward to sleeping in
your own bed? Can hardly wait. But, despite the joy of knowing you will soon be home with family and friends, there is
an odd ‘tug-of-war’ going on in your heart… a quiet sense of loss in leaving behind brothers and sisters in Christ with
whom you’ve prayed, toiled, and worshipped.
Team Timothy is now back in the USA and are eager to tell the story of their ministry in Bolivia. The Lord blessed
this team in many ways as they saw their months of preparation result in the working of God’s grace in the hearts of Bo-
livians. Through preaching, teaching, music, games, crafts, and simply sharing the love of God, the Team returned
home with a sense that the Lord had, indeed, blessed their efforts to encourage and help Pastor Quisbert in the La Paz
BPC. There is much to tell and the next Banner issue will have the complete story and plenty of photographs. You will
also be able to view the Banner in color by going to the PMU website.
