Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.

Matthew 28:19-20

Our Missionaries 

Craig  and Ada Cook have been missionaries in Spain for 36 years. The Béjar Church is the base of operations for the Cooks.  Although they have ministered, mostly in church planting, extensively in Béjar, Guijuelo, Piedrahíta, Miranda del Castañar and Salamanca, they can count more than 20 cities and towns in which they have contributed. Their ministry passion is personal evangelism, and their ministry activities focus on evangelistic Bible studies in small towns along with a good quantity of discipleship and leadership development. Ada collaborates with a small Bible Institute called Proyecto Éfeso and Craig with Editorial Peregrino, a publisher of Reformed literature.

Craig is originally from Newberry, SC, and met his wife Ada in Spain. They have four adult children.  Ruth is married to Chris Hylton, who works in a university ministry.  Ruth teaches English and translates Christian literature. Alan teaches English in different contexts and writes Christian songs and musicals for the church.  Nathan and his wife Lucy are an active part of the ministry Companion and in the Béjar church.  Joshua is working on a second two-year degree and continues to do videos and editing for ministry projects as well as manage the church’s transmissions on YouTube. Craig and Ada also have a new grandchild, and they are very proud of him!

Bob and Cathi Selph are serving Christ Jesus in full time evangelism in inner-city Atlanta (since September 2015). They seek to shine the light and love of our Lord just west of Atlanta’s skyscrapers among a great population of impoverished African Americans. As they employ a variety of venues where they freely share the Gospel of Jesus Christ, they are involved in, and joyfully use the fine church, East Point Church, for their work of evangelism. Both Bob and Cathi were converted to Jesus as teenagers while living in Flagstaff, Arizona. C.H. Spurgeon’s sermons had a lot to do with that. Bob was one of the pastors of GBC Taylors for many years, as well as another RBNet member church for a total of 29 years. Before that, he was on staff with two independent Baptist churches for 7 years. He also served as Missions Coordinator for Reformed Baptist Mission Services for 9 years. Being very involved in the Southern Baptist Founders movement, he wrote the book, Southern Baptists and the Doctrine of Election, which was distributed widely throughout the SBC. Bob and Cathi have been married since 1971 and have 3 grown children + spouses, and 9 grandchildren - They are so blessed to know that their children walk in the truth!
