We love working with you!
What a privilege to be laboring together in the Lord’s last day harvest. Thank you for your faithful prayers and generous giving to help us bring the uncompromising message of God’s Word and the living reality of His Holy Spirit to a part of the world that has not seen many of the truths of God that we hold so dear. The Psalmist wrote:
You will guide me with Your counsel,
And afterward receive me to glory.
– Psalm 73:24
How great are our Christian lives? We get to walk with Him and serve Him, receiving daily of His eternal wisdom and counsel. And our future is firm in the promise of the fullness of His glory. What more could we possibly want?

We exercised authority and walked in victory!
Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions,
and over all the power of the enemy,
and nothing shall by any means hurt you. – Luke 10:19
A church member called crying. “My niece has been visiting for the summer. It is time for her to return to her home country, but we just realized her passport has expired. We are at the airport and the airline has told us that, especially since she is a minor, they will not let her fly.” We told our church member that we would pray, hung up the phone, and used the Name of Jesus. It was a simple, one-sentence event. Less then 10 minutes later, she told us it was all resolved. The Madrid International Airport Customs and Immigration boss came down to the ticket counter and said that they were going to let her fly. She told the girl to tell the police at passport control to call their boss if they had any questions. The Police were very surprised, but they called, and it was so. I don’t know about your country, but in Spain that is a certified miracle. GLORY TO GOD!
“My coworker is so hateful. She often tries to start fights with me at work and undermines me with our boss.” Our church member went on to explain that this woman (who lives an “alternative lifestyle”) had verbally attacked him for something at work that was not even his responsibility. That night he woke up to a spirit harassing him in his own home. He asked us to pray. Again, we quickly took authority over the work of the enemy both at his home and place of work. The next time we spoke about this situation, he was all smiles. He was getting along well with his coworker and the boss had even taken his side in the dispute. God is so good!
Mission trip to Eastern Europe
October 27 – November 15, 2025
As you know, we periodically take a mission trip 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 and 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 for this trip 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).

We teach what we know, but we reproduce what we are.
– John Maxwell (shared by a Pastor)
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!
