Ministering in Montenegro:

“Least evangelized country in Europe”

The Lord opened doors for us in a special way in a country that has seen little gospel ministry. 

• Shared a word of encouragement in a local congregation
• Ministered one-on-one with a local convert who was considering returning to the world
• People were spontaneously asking for prayer and blessing.

Stunning opportunities in Istanbul:

“Light for Muslims“

What an amazing time we had in Istanbul. We were careful and conservative in this country that is 98% Muslim, but God threw open the doors wide for us!

• Witnessed to Mosque Security Guard! It’s true. The Lord gave us the opportunity to share God’s love and gospel truths with a guard at one of the most important Mosques in Istanbul!
• A woman prayed in the street to accept Jesus as Lord. We are still in contact and working with her. 
• Connected with a Christian who does various outreaches including a Christian YouTube channel/talk-show. Provided him with faith-filled books. He wants to know if we can get them for him in Turkish.
• Met with and gave a copy of The Believer’s Authority book to a Turkish Pastor.
• Here in Turkey, one of the ministers told us that there are less than 10,000 evangelicals in the whole country. That is less than one born again Christian in 8,400 people! This has to change, in Jesus Name!
• Note: We are not on any social media so that we can go to sensitive countries like this one. If you know of anyone who would like to get our e-mails so that they can stay informed, let us know.

Faith-filled Books for the Nations:

“12 ministries in 6 countries“

• We were able to bring faith-filled books to 8 Pastors and 4 ministers in 6 countries of Southeastern Europe.
• We had direction from the Lord to provide books to this region. On this trip we mostly gave away The Believer’s Authority and God’s Medicine, along with a few others.
• About half of these Pastors and minsters had never heard of these books and only one had ever read one! What a blessing to play a part in introducing these important truths to this region.
• The woman in the picture above saw me giving one of these books to a minister and asked if she could have one. Of course! Then she asked if I had other titles. I had one and gave it to her. It turns out that she had read photocopies of these books and loved them. She really wanted the actual books. That day happened to be her birthday, and God gave her the desire of her heart! How God loves us!
• The majority of the nations we visited have only a few thousand evangelical Christians in the whole country – less than one half of 1%. Please join your faith with ours to see that change!

Than you so much for your prayers and generous gifts. Imagine the difference that we are making together by God’s grace. Praise Him!

Let’s do it Together!

Rejoice with us! God has provided over $1000 of new monthly partnership in 2025. Please believe with us to be fully funded to reach more for Christ.

The ministry is expanding! In recent years, Rev. Rich has done mission trips about 2 months out of the year. That could increase to nearly 6 months in 2026. Why? Because in Europe (and other places), very few people have known the Lord. Look at these statistics: only one in 50 (Spain) or one in 75 (France, Ireland) or one in 100 (Italy) or even one in 200 (Israel, Poland) people are saved. [To put that in perspective, 1 in 4 Americans claim to be evangelical.] Where we work, country after country is filled with city after city starved for the light of the gospel and full of people currently on their way to hell. We must bring them the light and help them change course! Much more travel equals much more cost. 

God is our great provider,
and if we all do our part, it won’t be too much for anyone.

Trust God with us to increase our finances by at least 1/4 at this time.
We could achieve this with the following commitments:
1 partner at $1000 per month
2 partners at $500 per month
3 partners at $250 per month
5 partners at $100 per month
10 partners at $50 per month
20 partners at $25 per month
20 partners at $10 per month

Please pray about getting involved, and do whatever the Lord puts on your heart.  We would be honored to have you take hold of this work with us and help us reach further. God gives us each the grace to do our part. If now is not a time to do more financially, perhaps you know someone who is looking to partner with a ministry like ours. And your prayers are always the most valuable thing that you can give!

Write us and let us know how you would like to get involved. We are excited about what the Lord is doing and your part in His plan!

For he who sows to his flesh will of the flesh reap corruption, but he who sows to the Spirit will of the Spirit reap everlasting life. And let us not grow weary while doing good, for in due season we shall reap if we do not lose heart. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith. – Galatians 6:8-10

Thank you again for your prayers and partnership. We believe that God is putting together all of our prayers, giving, and steps of obedience to provide good, stable, Word & Spirit ministry all over the world. The Gospel must be preached in all nations. This revival must come to full fruition. The harvest must be gathered in. The Lord must return! By His grace we will be faithful in our generation. Many blessings to you and yours!

Precious in the sight of the Lord
Is the death of His saints. – Psalms 116:15

My Dad went home to be with Jesus! We were in the USA for a week in September to celebrate his life with our family and friends. We will miss Dad, but his life was easy to commemorate. And we will see him again forever. Our lives in Christ are wonderful. 
I want to share a few neat things about Dad with you. Of course none of us are perfect, but he really was a great Dad. He was busy by choice, but he always took time for us. He was very available and talked with me a lot about life. 
As a small child, I rode hours and hours with him on the tractor, hanging from his arm. How did he not get tired? As a teen and adult, we would take long walks and rides and thoroughly discuss all areas of life and even Bible doctrine. While on the mission field, we met every week, usually Friday mornings, and talked for up to 2 hours about all manner of things. Precious times!
Here is something interesting that I thanked him for over the years. Growing up, Dad never watched TV. He wasn’t particularly against it; he just always had better things to do. That simple thing changed my life. I grew up with a different sprit about me because of less influence of TV in my life. I will always be grateful to Dad for that.

How enduring is God’s loyal love;
the Eternal has inexhaustible compassion.
Here they are, every morning, new!
Your faithfulness, God, is as broad as the day.
– Lamentations 3:22-23 [TVB]

Testimony from Spain: Avoid sadness, stay in the church where God called you!

One of our church members recently decided to leave our church. She told us that she was not offended, nor did she disagree with us doctrinally, but she decided to make a change. 
Some friends invited her to a different church, so she got her young daughter dressed and went. All the way to church the daughter was crying, and the mother started to cry too. When they arrived the daughter became more and more inconsolable. The workers and mother could do nothing to calm the child down. Finally, they left for home.
The child calmed down. Soon they passed by our church, and the mother asked her daughter if she wanted to go to our church. She said that she did. They arrived about 20 minutes late. We knew nothing of what had transpired. It was a nice Sunday morning, mother and daughter content. After service, she told us everything, and decided to stay in our church!

But now God has set the members, each one of them, in the body just as He pleased. – I Corinthians 12:18

We have a professional chef in the church! We have done 2 meals in our home. Enjoy pictures from our second group [those who work morning shift]:

Mission trip to Eastern Europe

October 27 – November 15, 2025

We are off on our mission trip! As you know, we periodically travel to areas that have seen less full gospel ministry. This fall, the target is Southeastern Europe. We will visit former-Yugoslavian countries (North Macedonia and Croatia) which are in an area traditionally low in evangelical ministry. For instance, North Macedonia only has one evangelical Christian for every 500 people according to Operation World (fewer even than Saudi Arabia)!
The Lord dealt with us to get good books into the hands of the people in this region. He then provided contact information for several Pastors that are open to the things of God, but do not have much good material. We will be bringing in copies of Kenneth E. Hagin’s books, The Believer’s Authority and God’s Medicine to give them. What an exciting opportunity to make an eternal impact!
We will also be visiting Turkey, which is 98% Muslim. This is our first mission trip to a majority Muslim country. Believe with us for God’s direction and wisdom on how to safely make a lasting impact in this important regional power with a population of nearly 85 million people.
Please pray that the Lord will guide us to the right people and give us His supernatural words and power to meet the deepest need. His Word says: “For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.” (Romans 8:14), and “[praying]… for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel” (Ephesians 6:19).

Trip Budget: $8,000.

We provide the PayPal button below if you would like to help us reach these wide-open harvest fields. Thank you so much, and may the Lord multiply your seed sown (2 Cor. 9:10).

Thank you again for your prayers and partnership.

The Gospel must be preached in all nations. This revival must come to full fruition. The harvest must be gathered in. The Lord must return! By His grace we will be faithful in our generation.
