Morning Star Ministries is committed to reaching the American Indian with the good news of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. We have determined to do so by encouraging established works, providing resources for new works and promoting the interest and concern of  all those who love and care for the spiritual well  being of the Native American community.

A Special Commissioning Service for Morning Star Ministries was held at Berea Baptist Church in Pembroke NC, on August 17, 2008, at 6:00 p.m. The Host Pastor was Rev. Chris Hunt and the service was Officiated By Dr. Mike Cummings, Director of Missions for the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association. A good crowd attended with several churches and denominations present. There was a great response including many who made pledges to monthly partnerships. There are several other ministry presentations scheduled in the next few weeks. Perhaps you can join us in one them. If you would like for us to come to your Church or group, we would welcome the opportunity to discuss it with you.

 "Operation Healing Hands"

April 16-25, 2009

 Dagupan City, Philippines

 Morning Star Ministries and Calvary Way Baptist Church and Berea Baptist Church
Pembroke,NC

 

 

 

 A Team of 9 People will be going to the Philippines, to bring God's Message of Salvation and Deliverance to the precious people of Dagupan City and the surrounding area. Pastor Charles P. Locklear has been going to this community since 2000, and this will be His 4th trip. Calvary Way provides financial support to a local church, Bright Morning Star Baptist. In honor to Ptr. Charles, Bateng Baptist Church changed their name to Bright Morning Star in recognition of His great love for them and His willingness to raise support for a Children's Ministry in the Church. This Ministry helps provide for many children's basic needs, such as school fee's, personal needs and some help for their families. Over the years, many children have been blessed through this Ministry.

This trip, We plan to help conduct a VBS, do medical clinics and Have Revival at night. It will be a very exciting and busy time for the team. We need your prayers for a safe trip and a prosperous Mission effort.

An effort this big and this far away, requires a substantial financial comittment. Many churches and Individuals have agreed to help with the expenses, and We believe the where God leads, God is more than able to provide for, as well.

Perhaps You would like to share in this effort. We welcome You to make a financial gift to help with travel, Medicines and many other obligations a trip like this would produce. You can make your gift to Morning Star Ministries or Calvary Way Baptist Church. Your gift will be tax-deductible and will help us make a great difference in the lives of some very precious, and very poor, Philippino families. Thanks for your prayers and gifts. Be assured that God will take notice of your Love for and, concern about, His children in the Philippines

Operation Healing Hands is Completed 
On April 16,2009, a team of 8 people left for the Philippines to complete the Operation Healing Hands. We were joined in the Philippines by a Filipino Dentist and Her Assistant. Medcial and Dental clinics were held on 3 days and dozens of patients were seen and ministered to.
The American Team included Pastor Charles P. Locklear, Pastor Chris Hunt, Denis Ricard PA,  Landa Strickland RN, Carl Nephew BSW, Austin Strickland, Kyle Ricard and  Bryce Nephew. Joining us in the Philippines were Dr. Bernadette Caminero and Gina Ymalay. This trip was made possible with the generous gifts of many Individuals,  businesses and Churches. Many lives were blessed and lives were changed as several made decisions to accept Jesus Christ. A Baptismal service was held in the nearby South China Sea and 13 new believers were given the experience of Baptism. On behalf of the Bright Morning Star Baptist Church family, thanks to all those who prayed for and financially made possible this great outreach. It the generous gifts of our Ministry partners that make possible such a great effort. If you are not a financial partner, we encourage you to consider becoming one today.
Enjoy the pictures from the Philippine Trip.

 Isa 40:8 Hast thou not known? hast thou not heard, that the everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary? there is no searching of his understanding.

 Isa 40:29 He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.

 Isa 40:30 Even the youths shall faint and be weary, and the young men shall utterly fall:

 Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint

Recently We partnered with the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association, under the leadership of Dr. Mike Cummings,  to provide the cabinets for a home being built by the friends of Evangelist Richard Pickup. Rev. Pickup is a full-blood Cherokee from Salina. Oklahoma.  Pickup is one the most respected and sought after American Indian Evangelist in America. In respect to His many years of dedicated service to the effort of reaching the American Indian with the Gospel, the community and freinds thought it was only right that He be provided a comfortable and modern Home. It was our pleasure to be part of this great effort.

We recently partnered with the Sacred Pathways Ministries of Pembroke, N.C., to provide a ministry of feeding the hungry and caring for the needs of homeless and impoverished in the Pembroke area. We gave a gift during the Christmas season that will help this non-profit in their effort to be a blessing to others.

MSM recently provided a financial gift toward a toy drive, as a partner with the Womens Missionary Union of the Burnt Swamp Baptist Association in Pembroke, NC.

MSM is interested in Mission work, at both home and abroad. While our goal is to reach the American Indian with the Gospel all across America, we realize the work must begin at home. Your partnership with us will make it possible to meet needs of people. Thank You for helping us!!

Special Announcement
 We are deeply saddened by the passing of a Great Man of God, who was used by God in Native American work across American. As an American Indian, Bro. Leslie Clark understood and was skilled in facing the struggles that often are experienced by those involved in Indian work. Bro. Leslie will be sorely missed by all those who knew and loved Him. Our prayers and concern goes out to the Clark family.

The Navahos are Coming!!!!!!!
30 members of the Navaho Tribe are coming to NC as guest of Morning Star Ministries. These are also members of the Pine Hill Baptist Church near Cuba, New Mexico, where MSM  conducted the Operation Warm Worship in November 08. Pastor Wesley Castillo is the Church Pastor and  has informed us that these fine folks have been having fund raisers to enable them to come to North Carolina. It is our intention to make this a rewarding and enjoyable time away from the Reservation. The group plans to leave on May 29 and return on June 3. Pray for ther safe travel  and that God will use them while they are in North Carolina.

While visiting with us, 3 Navaho Youth decided to spend part of the summer in the North Carolina as guest of MSM. They will go home when we travel to  their  community in July. We welcome Jacobi, Roshonda and Jamall  to our neighborhood for several weeks.  They are enjoying local VBS's, Youth Camp's and the Pool.
