Missions

Two Trips to Kenya Within Six Months

This past year we had two great mission trips to Kenya. In August we visited Serve International as guest to Bishop Paul Ligano Kissumu, Kenya. We were able to see the large work this ministry has been doing for more than 20 years and participate in ministering to many hundreds of people.
In December we ministered to a ground breaking work we started in Nairobi, Kenya. We are blessed to have such a great partner in Bishop Paulo Guata from Nairobi. He help organized our first pastors conference and crusade in Kenya. Our crusade was the healed in a community where people came to salvation from bars, business's and homes. In fact over the three nights many came each night after hearing songs, testimonies and preaching to give their hearts back to Jesus. We are now helping plant a church in a new area where we will be back in August to hold pastor's conference and crusade.

5 Years of Missions in Orissa, India

Our missions ministry has been back to India for the sixth time in the last 5 years with great God given success! We are planning a trip back every year into new territories of Orissa State. Orissa is the most dangerous un-reached area of India. Thousands of Christian's were persecuted in 2008 and hundreds of homes and churches destroyed. Since 1993 I have been a part of reaching Orissa including building one of the largest Bible Colleges in the world graduating 1,000 pastors a year.

God is opening doors for us very quickly on every trip. We have been invited to several other parts of India including Andra Pradesh and Hydrabad. While we look at those areas for future visits our heart is for Orissa. Mainly because of the many millions who have yet to hear the Gospel for the first time. During our last trip it became known that my ministry team was the first Americans to visit a certain tribal area with the Gospel. Each service was packed with people wanting the touch of the Lord on their lives. Many people were healed, saved and delivered during our ministry services.

We also have many Hindu and Muslim converts in our events. In fact during the one trip in we had dozens of Hindu's ask us permission to attend our healing service that we had in a small house. Many of those Hindu's were healed and received the Lord. On my last few days ministering in villages we had a home filled with Hindu's and Muslim's asking us to pray for their healing. God did move and many received their healing!

Many people have asked me the same question since we have made it known that we concentrate on healing services while ministering in India. That question is, "Wheres the Fruit?" They have all said if you don't do pastors conferences you can't create growth. I will tell you what I shared with them which is completely true. We have a huge infrastructure of India Bible College Graduates that assist us in training converts and churches. With that support system we have planted 70 churches, 2 Children's Homes for 80 children and a feed ministry. Thousands have came to Jesus and many more thousands have been healed! God is good and faithful.

This next trip in December will have six cities and villages around India holding ministry healing services. This trip will 3 pastors conferences, several healing services and 8 crusade nights. The healing ministry is becoming are predominant vehicle to reach entire cities & villages. This type of ministry takes a lot prayer to be effecitve against the strongholds in the area. Please pray that God will continue to bless us and protect us to reach the unreached for Him! His protection is greatly needed anytime we step out in faith in a foreign country where there are religious radicals.
