It didn't take Bro. Mark, SBC Foreign Missionary, long to contact me. Here is his reply to the email I sent him;

Dear Bro, Carter,

 

Greetings from Iceland! I am on the road visiting personnel and still have England and Ireland to visit before returning home to Prague. I am glad to accept your invitation and look forward to being with you on September 12th. We will plan to drive up that morning and arrive by 10:30am. I will plan to give a call a week or two before to check in.

 

Blessings!

Mark

Dear Bro. Mark,

 

Mary Jo Hines of the IMB has advised that you are going to be in Texas in September of this year, specifically in Houston the week before September 12^th. As pastor of Cornerstone Baptist Church in Corsicana, TX, I would like to extend an invitation to you to speak at our church on Sunday morning, September 12^th at the 11am service. Ms. Hines says that you are going to be traveling to SWBTS and we would love to have you and to hear what God is doing in your life and in your ministry as a Southern Baptist Missionary.

 

We would pay your travel mileage from Houston, provide a wonderful home-cooked meal, and a love gift for honoring us with your presence. I might even find an imprinted coffee mug and an embroidered “Cornerstone” polo shirt.

 

Let me know if this will work and we can take care of the details later.

 

God bless you as you minister in Europe for us.
