Latest Report: June 2026 Special Update

In their latest special report, Brother Carl and Sister Melanie Bromley shared that they believe their mission assignment in New Zealand has come to completion and are seeking the Lord’s direction for their next field of ministry.

The Bromleys have transitioned to a new sending church. Spring Valley Missionary Baptist Church in Missouri accepted and embraced them as their missionaries, effective May 18, 2026. Spring Valley will now process their missionary support.

As the Lord opens the door, the Bromleys are pursuing ministry in the United States. Their current plan includes helping establish a new mission plant in Missouri around the Willard/Springfield area, developing a Bible-based Gospel mental health ministry, and serving alongside Spring Valley MBC as it grows and reaches its community.

They are also seeking to enter the United States through a Religious Workers Visa. Rowland Road Baptist Church is assisting administratively with the visa process, while Spring Valley serves as their primary sending church.

While they await visa clearance, Carl and Melanie plan to relocate to Australia, where they can stay without a special visa under the shared arrangement between Australia and New Zealand. Please pray for them as they walk through this significant transition, seek God’s clear direction, and continue preparing for Gospel ministry wherever the Lord opens the door.

They also shared encouraging evangelism highlights from May, reporting that 22 souls put their faith in Jesus as Savior, with their children leading 16 of those to Christ. During outreach at an apartment complex in Texas, Sharon was able to continue knocking doors while Bro. Caleb spoke with the office staff, and a young lady named Sara trusted Christ as Savior.

They are also praying for the Lord’s provision for a 15-passenger van, three MacBooks for their children’s schooling, and continued opportunities to present their ministry.
