WBF MISSION OFFICE Serving local churches and their missionaries August 23, 2017
Dear Co-laborers, This year at Mission Camp, two families were added to our WBF Mission Family! Josh & Rachel Easlon were approved as WBF missionaries to Nigeria August 8, 2017. Josh was saved as a child in his home in Paris, Texas. He attended East Paris Baptist Church until he moved to Denton, Texas to attend the University of North Texas where he received his first Bachelor’s degree in Psychology in 2010. After moving back to Paris, Texas, Josh and Rachel started attending Victory Baptist Church. Rachel was raised in a non-denominational home, but was saved at the age of 23 at Victory Baptist Church. She graduated with an Associate of Applied Science in Dental Hygiene in 2014 and started taking courses through Arlington Baptist College in 2015, when they felt the call to full-time ministry. They served as youth leaders from 2015-2017 at Victory Baptist, but then felt the call of missions on their lives after visiting Mike & Christie Starling’s mission in Huachichil, Mexico in 2016. Josh graduated from Arlington Baptist College in 2017. God has led them to serve in the country of Nigeria. They will be church planting as well as ministering at A Place Of Hope Africa. They have one son, Blace. Their sending church is the Victory Baptist Church in Paris, Texas, Pastor Curtis Blake. You may contact them or get more information through email:
