    I was blessed to be able to take my very first overseas mission trip with First Day Ministry to Ethiopia in 2010 and  then make a return trip in 2011.  These opportunities with First Day have changed my life forever.  Levi,    Michael and the rest of the First Day leaders have an unbelievable heart for the nations of the world.  The strategy of First Day is a direct echo from the Apostle Paul: "to equip the saints for the work of ministry."I have been able through First Day to teach/train pastors throughout Ethiopia.  I have seen the hurt and illness in this country through the medical clinics.  First Day Ministry transforms their convictions into actions to reach  this lost and dying world with the Gospel through building the local church in every nation!

  First Baptist Church of McKenzie

I recently had the privilege of going on a mission trip with First Day Ministries.  I would like to highly recommend anyone who is looking for an opportunity to go oversees to use First Day.  From the time I signed up  to go, till I landed back in the US, every detail was taken care of.  Their planning and organization is top notch!                    

 


                            

   Pastor Mike Parker

   Hurt Road Baptist Church

   "In October 2011 I was able to go with First Day Ministries to Ethiopia. Although it was not my first foreign mission trip, it was a wonderful experience, and an ongoing blessing. Four people from our congregation also    attended, and for all of them it was a life altering trip. Every detail of the trip was pre-arranged prior to our arrival and it made for a very smooth, event free, trip. As a Pastor I was able to minister in my area of expertise  and they were flexible to allow the others in our party to do the same. There was definitely an area for each person to serve in an area where they felt comfortable. I am leading another group from our church to travel  with First Day in October 2012 and would recommend their ministry to anyone considering God’s call to short-term foreign missions.


 

Pastor Patrick Latham,

Second Baptist Cedartown

"Second Baptist Cedartown hosted Dr. Levi Skipper for a 5 day revival. Over the course of the meeting, our church was energized and encouraged for Christ and His mission. We saw several decisions for Christ and we are still seeing God's blessing's from Levi's ministry. One long time church member remarked that our meeting with Levi was the greatest revival our church ever hosted. You will be blessed by his ministry."

 


Dr. James L. Flanagan,

President of Luther Rice Seminary

"Dr. Levi Skipper is one of God's choice servants to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. God's power is evident as he rightly and passionately divides the Word of Truth."

 

 


Steve Foster,

Evangelism Consultant with Georgia Baptist Convention

"Dr. Levi Skipper is a personal friend and a great man of God. He is a tremendous preacher who God is using to reap the harvest. His integrity and character are above reproach and he has been used as a Pastor in Georgia to build an evangelistic church. I encourage every pastor to pray about using Levi in a harvest event. His biblical messages will be received by both students and adults alike. Your people will be blessed and souls will be impacted for eternity." 

Levi has had opportunity to preach revivals, crusades, and men's conferences. God has moved greatly. If you are interested in Levi's services feel free to call or complete this form and a First Day Representative will get back to you shortly.
