This fall Pastor Dave Smith shared his plans for a new phase of ministry: back to the mission field.
Pastor Dave has directed ODBM since 2010 and has also served as Morningside’s missions pastor for the last several years.
Dave grew up in Papua New Guinea. After he and Shawn served there for about a decade, he returned to direct Open Door Baptist Missions and eventually became Morningside’s missions pastor.
As Dave traveled the world working with ODBM missionaries and their partners, he often worked with national pastors. Many of those pastors serve in countries that are closed to American missionaries. This year, he realized that with his training and contacts he could serve even more effectively closer to the field.
Dave and Shawn present their new ministry plans on the evening of September 3.
You can learn more about their plans now on their new website.
