Missions Sermons, (Paperback)

Pastor Bill Slayton touched many lives in his 65 years of ministry. He preached thousands of times, and led hundreds to Christ. He pastored churches all across the state of Texas. He had a tremendous burden for world missions work, and these simple sermons reflect that concern. The sermons in this book were written on everything from napkins to scrap pieces of paper, and compiled into homemade books. It is our prayer that they will continue<br>to bless people for many years to come. <p>Pastor Slayton passed away on February 9th, 2025. His funeral felt more like a revival service or a preachers' conference. While it is difficult to capture an influential life in a few short words, we can say there was a great host of witnesses to welcome Pastor Slayton home, from his more than 65 years of ministry. He led many to faith in his Lord Jesus, influenced multiple generations of preachers, encouraged the growth of Sunday Schools and churches across several states, and hosted an annual Pastor's Conference on Missions in Mexico. Pastor Slayton surrendered to the call of the Gospel in Lubbock, Texas. In preparation for that call, he attended Baptist Bible Seminary in Ft. Worth, TX, graduating in 1956. He pastored Baptist churches in Texas; Dumas (1950's), Fort Worth (1950's-60's), Athens (1960's), and Farmers Branch/Carrollton (1960's-2000's). Following his retirement from active pastoring, for another 18 years until COVID impacted his health, Bill supported many pastor friends across North Texas through pulpit supply. </p><p>While most of his contemporaries are passed on, those he influenced and mentored in ministry continue the traditions handed down by a life of influence. The Bill Slayton stories are numerous and humorous, such as his trying to roll colorful phrases into a sermon, or his witty motivational sayings. He was a collector, an avid bargain hunter. His collection of Breyer Horses, wagons of all formats, rusty garage sale tools, Case knives, and stylish suits to name a few. But his crowing collector's achievement is the thousands of sermon outlines collected from others or developed at his International Office (McDonalds-bargain senior coffee!), written on napkins and paper scraps, self-bound into notebooks, and written on the margins of numerous Bibles. </p><p>These sermons on missions are directly from his iconic notebooks. These are completely unedited and authentic, and we hope that they will be a blessing to you. </p><p><br></p>
