Partners and Friends,
In 1990 just east of Edinboro, PA, I was praying on a lake at the end of a trailer park. I prayed a prayer of consecration: “God, I don’t know why you saved me but you did. For that, I give you my life and all that is in it. I’ll do what you want me to do, be what you want me to be, go where you want me to go.” I even prayed: “God, if you want me to live in a tent in Cambodia, I will gladly do it. I may not choose that life, but if you want me to, I am willing.”
After a couple of hours, the presence of God fell and I felt like I had an audience with the Lord. I sensed He was pleased with my heart. It seemed as if He said, “Son if you ask me for anything, I will give it to you.” So I answered, “Lord, it is my heart’s desire to see a million souls saved in my lifetime.” I sensed the Lord was pleased and said we would do that and more. A vision was birthed.
The Pursuit of the Vision
Since then, we have been relentless in pursuing that goal. Bible school soon followed, then ministry throughout the U.S., then years of missions in Africa and beyond. In 2005, we began focusing on a closed country in the Western Hemisphere, adapting crusades into training nationals to win souls and plant churches. Our vision has expanded, but the heart remains the same: 1,000,000 souls saved.
Milestone Reached
We are pleased to announce that our original goal of 1,000,000 souls won to the Lord has recently been achieved. We have endeavored to track every name and follow up each soul with discipleship opportunities. While not perfect, the system is strong and growing.
Recently, we provided support for every church in the two regions where we work to have at least one leader trained in follow-up and discipleship. With over 500 churches involved, every congregation now has both a pastor and a leader inviting the newly saved to a six-week discipleship course.
Looking Ahead
The road has not been easy, but God has been faithful. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for every dollar sown, every prayer prayed, and every hour volunteered. We could not have done it without you.
Please continue to pray for us and for wisdom as we move forward. Volunteers and partners are always needed. Let us know if God places it on your heart to help us carry the gospel forward from here.
Thanks & Blessings,
