An 80 percent hearing loss and speech impediment doesn’t discourage Scott Blanchard from remaining committed to his calling.
As a church planter and pastor of Lakepointe Church in Detroit, Scott uses his disability to encourage and connect with others. He proves each day that God can use anyone who is willing to be His servant.
Scott’s passion for church planting is firmly planted in the belief that reaching more people with the gospel is about multiplying churches. As such, Scott is investing in the lives of church plant interns and apprentices like Jimmy Jones, who will be planting a new church just 20 minutes from Lakepointe so more seeds can be sown in the Detroit area.

PRAY:
- For continued growth in the congregation as they seek to help church planters and interns start new church in surrounding areas.
- For more workers to reach the harvest and see more lives transformed by the gospel of Jesus Christ.
Like the sower who was focuses on spreading the seed everywhere, North American missionaries know their message of hope needs to cover all of North America.
The results may vary, but their commitment to continuing to share the gospel to all people is firm. And they need Southern Baptists’ help.
People all over North America, even in your own community, are waiting for seed to be sown, waiting for someone to tell them about Jesus, and waiting for a new church to take root so that life-changing transformations can take place.
In what areas are you sowing the see of the gospel? Are there people in your own backyard who need to hear the gospel and be discipled?
PRAY:
- For churches and individuals to stand with and support North American missionaries as they spread the gospel.
- For obedience and strength to share the gospel with all people no matter the challenges or risks.
