A Brief Testimony and Burden for Washington State

    My name is Tim Wall and my wife's name is Jennifer.  We are missionaries to the state of Washington.  We attend Missions Baptist Church in Winston-Salem, NC.  Jennifer grew up in church and was saved at the age of 5 years old.  I did not attend church growing up.  One day a co-worker of mine started witnessing to me about the Lord.  About a month passed and I decided to go to his church.  On June 15, 1997, God saved me by His grace.  Two months later the Lord called me to preach.  In the fall of 1999 I started Bible College at Calvary Baptist Bible College in King, NC.  I graduated on May 30, 2003 with my bachelors in Theology. 
 
 
   Jennifer and I will be working in Whitman County.  According to the 2002 census the population of Whitman County is 40,740 people.  The city of Colfax is the County seat of Whitman.  It has a population of 2844 people in the inner city.  However, there are thousands of people living in the local area and surrounding cities.  Pullman is just 16 miles south of Colfax with a population of 25,000 people.  Washington State University is location in Pullman where thousands of students attend.  There is not one independent Baptist work in the whole county of Whitman.  Whitman County is not alone.  There are several surrounding counties that have no gospel witness.  The Bible says, "How shall they hear without a preacher" (Romans 10:14). Our prayer and heart's desire is to bring the gospel to the people in Washington State where there are no fundamental, Bible-Believing churches.  We are church planters and our goal is to plant self-governing, self-supporting, self-propagating churches in Washington State starting in Colfax, Washington.  We plan to do this by knocking on doors, preaching the gospel, and sharing the love of Jesus Christ with the people.
