Exciting News from our Partnering Missionaries!
Praise Reports from the Mission Field
  • Rudi and Sharon Swanapoel, missionaries to Africa, share their plans for 2020. They have four international Seek and Save events planned and are also planning to train and install the first full time Seek and Save evangelist/coordinator in Tanzania. In May, they will minister in South America, their first venture into that country!
  • Dave and Debbie Johnson, missionaries to Asia Pacific Theological Seminary, thankfully report the successes of this past year from their students. Seeing their students hunger for more of God and His touch upon their lives, is a culmination of their efforts. One of their students from China wrote an essay for a class that revealed an amazing level of maturity in her spiritual perception. Pictured here is one of their small groups, comprised of students from Sri Lanka, the Philippines, Mexico, Pakistan, Columbia, Korea and China! Being a part of what God is doing in the lives of all of their students is a testament to the loving faithfulness of God!
  • Kim and Shari Babcock, missionaries to Argentina, joyfully share how God has provided for their ministerial needs at Kings Castle ministry! God has provided the necessary materials for them to create and provide lessons on forgiveness, cyber-bullying, sexting, animé cartoons, porn, identity and suicide… the things that kids today are faced with on a daily basis. Currently they serve 2,308 Teens and kids in King’s Castle ministry!
Prayer Requests from the Mission Field
  • Marti and Brenda Roman, missionaries to China, request prayer as they have been in Thailand for a series of conferences and are not being allowed to return to China due to the Coronavirus outbreak concerns. Please pray that their return to the states to wait it out will be a short period of time and they can get back to their mission field in China.
  • Kurt and Stephanie Plagenhoef, missionaries to Albania and the Balkans, ask for prayer for Albania in the wake of the 6.4 magnitude earthquake in November 2019, for relief efforts to provide all that is needed to help all of the thousands of people and churches affected from this tragic event.
  • John and Deborah Sims, missionaries in Latin America, ask for prayer for the completion of the Berea Child Hope school Zacapa, Guatamala. This school will benefit more than 500 children who suffer from the effects of extreme poverty and do not have access to basic education. Children who attend this school will learn about God’s love and will be given the opportunity to excel in life, thus breaking the cycle of poverty and becoming the next generation of Christian leaders in Guatemala and beyond.
