Our vision
The fundamental problem in South Africa is the lack of Bible
preaching churches among the black population. South Africa is a
diverse country made up of three major races--the whites, the
coloreds, and the blacks. The black population makes up close to
80% of a country of 52 million people. Although many profess to
be religious, most are involved in ancestry worship and a worksbased belief system. We believe that God is leading us to be
church planting missionaries. We want to do more than just give
everyone a chance to hear, we want to plant churches. This is a
huge task because of the many languages throughout South
Africa. Our vision is to start churches and train leaders that will
be able to eectively reach their own people.

Recommendations

Joshs Testimony
I was saved at 5 years old after VBS at Fellowship Baptist Church. I was
raised in church and lived a life close to God as a child. When I reached
high school age I began to hang around the wrong kind of people and
began to get into sin. I lived like this for about a year until, after high
school ended, I began to draw back to God. I realized that even though
I had left Him, He had not given up on me! Later that year I
rededicated my life to God and soon after answered the call to preach.
The key thing that changed my life was a missions conference in 2010.

Meagans Testimony
Pastor Tom Hatley

It is my pleasure to recommend
the Sullivans to South Africa. I
have been privileged to be Josh
and Meagans pastor since their
childhood. I personally mentored
Josh and he has served with me
as a sta member of Fellowship
Baptist Church.

I had the honor and privilege of being raised in a Christian home, by

Godly parents. Unfortunately, even as a child, I was a notorious worry
wort. That being said, I struggled with salvation for 12 years! I always
believed with my head, but could never seem to settle it in my heart.
Finally, at the age of 17, I trusted the Lord as my personal Savior. From
that day forward, the Lord has proven Himself to me over and over. I
married my husband just 2 years later, and Ive watched the Lord work
in both of our hearts. I look forward to serving with my husband
wherever the Lord leads!*

Pastor Je Irwin
It is my pleasure to recommend the
Sullivan family as missionaries to
South Africa. I have had the
pleasure of knowing Josh and
Meagan for over fteen years. They
grew up in my youth group at
Fellowship Baptist and were always
actively involved in the ministries
of the church. As adults, I have
watched them grow in faith and
family with a strong zeal for the
Lord.

Doctrinal Statement
We believe in the verbal, plenary inspiration and preservation of Scriptures
(KJV for English speaking people).
We believe the Bible reveals the fall of man, the way of salvation and God's
planned purpose for the ages.
We believe in a triune God: The Father, The Son and The Holy Ghost.
We believe in the virgin birth, the sinless life and the substitutionary death of
The Lord Jesus Christ.
We believe in Jesus Christ' resurrection from among the dead in the same
body in which He was crucified, and the bodily return of this same Jesus to
earth to establish His Millennial Kingdom.
We believe in Dispensational Pre-millenialism (Pre-trib Rapture, imminent
personal return).
We believe that the Holy Ghost enters, seals, and baptizes the moment one
is born into the family of God through faith in Jesus Christ, and He endues,
guides, teaches, sanctifies, empowers, and keeps the believer eternally
secure.
We believe that salvation is the effect of regeneration by the Spirit and the
Word; not by works, but by grace through faith in the shed blood of Christ.
We believe in the everlasting bliss of the saved in Heaven and the everlasting
suffering of the lost in the lake of fire.
We believe in the necessity of maintaining, according to the Word of God, the
purity of the church in doctrine and life (ecclesiastical and personal
separation).
We believe the ordinances of the local church are: believer's baptism by
immersion only, and the Lord's Supper.
We believe we have the obligation of obedience to fill the Great Commission
to the best of our ability (Go, Win, Baptize and Teach).
