Taylor, Bishop Kenneth Coward, Bishop Thomas Martin, Jr., Presiding Elder Queen T. Harris and to all the Saints of the Most-High God, I greet you in the precious name of the Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As we assemble in this 58 th Home and Foreign Missionary Convention. I want to remind you that Jesus commands us to go and do mission work, it is the missionary imperative to be my witnesses in Jerusalem, all Judea, and Samaria and to the end of the Earth. The world will not be saved if we fail to realize the importance of missions. There is so much work to be done; will you be willing to be a witness for the Lord? Are you ready to witness for the Lord my brothers and sisters? Look for every opportunity to be a witness, Jesus is coming. We want souls saved. We do not want them to miss heaven.

Amen (so let it be).

GREETINGS, Oh, what an honor and pleasure it is to be able to share words of greetings with you during this 58 th National Home and Foreign Missionary Convention of the Mount Sinai Holy Church of America. God has been so good to us! As we are now in the month of November, we can see the year quickly coming to an end. Throughout the year of 2018, God has done marvelous things! He has brought us through many trials, and situations and has given us the victory. To this we say, TO GOD BE THE GLORY! When we think about the past storms, Florence and Michael, that have hit our country, and the devastation that it has left, we can find a reason to give God praise! We are still alive and well. We realize that it was because of the prayers of the righteous, that things were not as severe as they could have been. Lamentations 3: 22 says It is of the LORD S mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not. So, as we plan to enter this coming new year, let us do so with a vigor and determination to give God Glory! We want to encourage Bishop Thomas Martin, Evangelist Karen Burgess, Missionary Aleta Fonville, their Staff, and every Missionary that is part of this wonderful organization, that they are doing a marvelous job and to continue in the work. We want to remind them that their labor is not in vain and that they are having an impact upon this world. In Genesis 41: 55 57, We find that Joseph was given the awesome responsibility to put in action a plan that would allow the Egyptians and the people of the land to be able to eat grain during a famine in the land. In order to do this, Joseph had to listen closely to God and to the King s dream. During his time of listening he was able to get the Necessary Instructions that he needed to execute a plan that would provide food for seven long years. God has allowed us this time during this blessed Missionary Convention to fellowship with one another, to encourage one another, and to receive the Necessary Instructions that we need in order to continue to work for him. So, while we are here let us listen closely to the Instructions so that when we leave this place we will feel strengthen and revitalized, and we can feed the world with the food that will give nourishment and life to their souls. Your Most Humble Servant, Bishop Lawrence L. Taylor 2 nd Vice President, MSHCA, Inc.

Then I said, Here am I. Send me (Isaiah 6:8)(AMP) The work in the Philippines was initiated by the Will of the Lord. The Saints there are fearlessly declaring Holiness Unto the Lord. They are embracing and are excited about this common bond to us. The Lord showed himself faithful and provided a way for us to go. We were in Davao, Philippines from October 9th thru October 23rd, 2018. In continuation of our desire to encourage our brethren there, I solicit an ongoing stream of financial help. The Saints there are enthusiastically reaching out into various areas with the gospel but they need finances to advance their efforts. I ask that you feel the burden with me to Help in Macedonia.
