Exciting News from our Partnering Missionaries!
Praise Reports from the Mission Field
  • Rudi and Sharon Swanepoel, missionaries to Africa, report that their new Seek and Save Hosanna Orphan Care Center was recently dedicated to serve the entire village of Tsabalala. All of the children received a pair of "shoes that grow". They also praise God for the 5,600 people that said YES to Jesus in 2 days as they gifted 6,000 Seek and Save Books to children in public schools.
  • Craig and Sharon Metzner, missionaries to Northern Asia, report on recent celebrations launching the Punjabi FireBible in the city of Ludhiana in Punjab, where over 900 Indian leaders were present. The Punjabi language is the mother tongue to over 130 million people and this FireBible is the very first Study Bible in the Punjabi language. They also launched the Marathi FireBible, which is the heart language to over 83 million people in Northern Asia.
  • Mary Hoskins, missionary to the homeless in Detroit, reports that as she and her volunteers shared food, clothing, and hugs to the homeless men and women, they began to ask for prayer, saying that they were Muslim. These were people grasping for the truth, reinforcing how we need to speak BOLDLY and share the truth that JESUS died for our sins. They arrive into an area that is glum, but leave it better off than when they arrived. Making a difference for the Kingdom of Heaven is POWERFUL!
  • Paul and Christine Pierquet, missionaries to the Ukraine, report the celebration of people from six nations coming together after decisions to follow Christ, with 13 water baptisms on the Dnieper River in Kyiv. Included in this number were two ladies from their church plant, with 400 people celebrating with them. Praise the Lord!
  • Richard and Lori McLane, missionaries to Poland, report that they have begun construction on a camp/training facility located an hour outside of Warsaw. This facility, "Camp Victory" will be a place for ministry to Pastors and Families, and the first building they raised was a pavilion! God provided complete funding for this building before they even began construction! Praise the Lord!
Prayer Requests from the Mission Field
  • Ruth Clark, missionary to the Philippines, requests prayer for a personal need. For some time she has been having problems with her eyes. She has returned to the US to seek a diagnosis and asks for prayer as she seeks treatment and wisdom in this situation.
  • Mike and Cindy Edson, missionaries to Estonia, ask for prayer for new opportunities opening up at their Transition Center where they work with special needs children. Partnering with an educational society that can affect real change and awareness in the schooling of special needs children is key, as they work with the 400 moms with Down's Syndrome children and the families in their neighborhood who have special needs children.
  • Gary and Janice Dickinson, missionaries to Africa, ask for prayer for their 8th church plant two weeks ago, in the Republic of Gabon. Their church plant team named the church "The Potter's House". They are averaging 40 people each Sunday and want the power of God to be manifest so that many come to Christ in this high witchcraft area.
  • Steve and Kim Puffpaff, missionaries to Suriname, ask for prayer for their Church Planting movement. New opportunities to plant churches continue to open, such as the beginning stages of the new church construction in Lebi Doti(UPG), Suriname. Another church plant is the first Spanish-speaking service for the Assemblies of God in this country, as there are over 35,000 Spanish speaking people there. Pray for churches to be established to bring Salvation to this Spanish speaking people. Also pray for transformation of people's lives who will then transform their communities.

2019 MISSION TRIP TO PANAMA CITY, FLORIDA
Our awesome team (pictured here with the pastors) spent a week helping restore a church & bringing supplies to folks who had lost their homes.
Some of the supplies we brought with us to help those who had been displaced from their homes.
The devastation was unreal. Our team replaced insulation, hung drywall, scraped and cleaned the cement floors to ready them for new flooring,and replaced electrical & plumbing so the church could be used for the glory of the Lord.
