Dakota Baptist Convention

Larry and Lillian Vickery announced to the church and the association they serve that Father’s Day, June 18, will be their last Sunday with them. Larry is the pastor of Belfield Baptist Church in Belfield, ND, and the associational missionary for Badlands Association. The Vickerys have served in the Dakotas for the past 46 years, serving in churches, associations, and with the Dakota Baptist Convention.

Larry expressed his gratitude to those that helped in their work over the past four and a half decades. He said, “God has truly blessed us and the work we have been involved with.” He thanked “the churches and individuals supporting us,” saying that it made “possible for us to do so much more in the ministry for the Lord in these 46 years.”

Larry and Lillian are planning to move back to South Carolina. As to their future plans, the longtime pastor and missionary said, “We do not know what the Lord has for the rest of our lives, but we will be like Isaiah in 6:8; ‘whom shall I send and will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me.’”
