Getting Ready

Now we are getting ready for our long mission trip to Russia (August - September). Our focus in Russia at this time is rural Siberia (ten churches in cities and villages in the Irkutsk region) and the urban city of Nizhniy Novgorod in the European part of Russia. We already ministered in these areas and our brothers and sisters in Christ are waiting for our words of encouragement and prayers.

We believe

God will restore marriages and families! We believe women and men with alcohol and drug addictions will be set free! We believe pastors will be strengthened and encouraged for new revival. We believe that the magnificent presence of God will be in each city and village with a powerful move of the Holy Spirit.

Please pray for Siberia

That God draws Christians closer to Jesus and that the lost would be saved. Please also pray that the zeal of Christ will fill all who hear the Word and that their cities and villages would be affected by the outpouring of miracles, signs, and wonders following the Word.
