International Crusades and Partnership Missions have been a part of the BJEA since 1976. These missions have taken place in 20 different countries. Some of the most fulfilling of these have been in needy third world countries where we have been assisted by construction teams, medical teams and dedicated lay people who are willing to give of themselves in teaching, witnessing and serving.

The picture below is representative of the crowds that come to the medical teams to be treated for various problems. The medical teams bring medications to fill prescriptions at no cost as long as the supply of medications hold out. Medical teams always draw a crowd and have an opportunity to share Christ with the patients.

Below is another example of ministering to the crowds by lay people and a missionary. Seated is N.T. Dellinger, a Southern Baptist Missionary, who is serving in Central America. He resides in Belize but ministers to many of the surrounding cities. Along with N.T. is Ken Culver who is a Southern Baptist minister and is Benny's right-hand man on these mission trips. Ken is a talented man for spreading the Gospel but in addition, he is very handy on construction projects.

Here is a sample of an advertisement of the coming crusade. These posters were posted far and wide in an effort to draw as many people as possible to hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ preached.
This poster was in communities of El Salvador and the picture that follows is indicative of the crowds that came to hear Benny proclaim the Gospel every night of the crusade.

When the invitaion is given, many come forward. Here we see Benny and one of is associates praying with a group that has come forward wanting to know how to be saved. Only by the blood of Jesus can our sins be washed away. It doesn't matter who we are, or where we are, the color of our skin, or age or anything else. The only way a person can be saved is by trusting in the Lord Jesus Christ and asking for forgiveness of sin and asking Jesus into our hearts.
