To Bishop Holland, our Corporate Officers, our Board of Bishops and the Saints of the Most High God: The officers

of the 58th National Home & Foreign Missionary Convention bring you greetings in the Name of Jesus Christ our

Lord.

It is our sincere privilege and honor to serve Mount Sinai Holy Church in stirring God’s people up in missions. We

desire only to fulfill the will of God and in this we recognize that all believers have been called to the mission field.

Knowing this truth, we also compelled to seek God for “THE NECESSARY INSTRUCTIONS” to complete our

mission in Christ name.

It is our prayer that you will be blessed, encouraged and edified during this convention. With the help of the Lord

we will leave with a renewed desire to proclaim the Gospel to the four corners of the earth.

Peace & Blessings,

The Officers of the 58th National Home & Foreign Missionary Convention

The staff and hosts for this convention have prayerfully worked to make this convention a great success, and for

that I am grateful. My earnest prayer is that every soul is blessed and uplifted during this gathering. May God bless

every preacher, teacher and presenter and every person leave better equipped for the Master’s use.

In His Service,

Bishop Thomas J. Martin, Jr. Corporate Treasurer, MSHCA, Inc.

Home & Foreign Missions Prelate

GREETINGS, To the delegates and staff of the 58thNational Home & Foreign

Missionary Convention. I am truly grateful to God for the opportunity to continue

to be God’s servant in the area of Home and Foreign Missions. God has blessed us

to continue in this work for his glory and we cannot do this without seeking him for

the necessary instructions. When we follow God’s instructions, doors are opened,

and ways are made. When you attempt to do great things for God, he will do great

things for you.

I greet you in the name of the immaculate Lamb of God Jesus the Christ. What a mighty God we serve. I am so

grateful to God for another year’s journey. To God be the glory for the great things He has done. The world is in

chaos and the fight is on. We must pray and allow God to lead us in the right direction. We must not allow ourselves

to become consumed or fascinated with this world’s view, but to pray that we stay focused and in tuned to the voice

and instructions from God. It is always my heart’s desire to see the move of God in our conventions. Let us be

empowered by the Holy Spirit. I pray that you will be blessed as you attend this

convention.

Bishop Grace R. Batten 1st Vice President, MSHCA, Inc.

Presiding Prelate Mid-Atlantic District

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.

I pray that the Convention be a success and the Spirit of God move within our midst.

Be Blessed,

Bishop John Emanuel Holland Presiding Prelate, MSHCA, Inc.

Southern District Prelate

Great Lakes District Prelate

HOLY GREETINGS, To the Corporate Officers: First Vice President- Bishop

Grace R. Batten, Second Vice President-Bishop Lawrence T. 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 58th Home and Foreign Missionary Convention. I want to remind you that

Go then and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the

Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe everything that I have commanded you, and

behold, I am with you all the days (perpetually, uniformly, and on every occasion), to the (very) close

and consummation of the age. Amen (so let it be). Matthew 28:19-20 (AMP)

To the Corporate Officers, Bishop John Emanuel Holland, Bishop Lawrence Taylor,

Bishop Kenneth Coward, Bishop Thomas Martin, Jr., and Presiding Elder Queen Harris

and to the Saints,

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 2nd Vice President, MSHCA, Inc.

GREETINGS, Oh, what an honor and pleasure it is to be able to share words of

greetings with you during this 58th 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!

“LOOK & LIVE” William A. Ogden (1887)

I’ve a message from the Lord, hallelujah!

This message unto you I’ll give,

’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”

Refrain:

“Look and live,” my brother, live,

Look to Jesus now, and live;

’Tis recorded in His word, hallelujah!

It is only that you “look and live.”

I’ve a message full of love, hallelujah!

A message, O my friend, for you,

’Tis a message from above, hallelujah!

Jesus said it, and I know ’tis true.

[Refrain]

Life is offered unto you, hallelujah!

Eternal life thy soul shall have,

If you’ll only look to Him, hallelujah!

Look to Jesus who alone can save.

[Refrain]

I will tell you how I came, hallelujah!

To Jesus when He made me whole—

’Twas believing on His name, hallelujah!

I trusted and He saved my soul.

“Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?” 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”.
