For eight
years, our lives have been filled with wonderful memories of working with
the Teen Challenge ministries — one year in Iowa and seven years
as the Executive Director of Teen Challenge in Columbus, Ohio. It has
been rewarding to see the changed lives of the students and the reconciliation-taking
place with their families.
In spring of 2004, Kathy and I felt that God was beginning to re-direct
our lives into a new area of ministry. Knowing it was time to step down
from Teen Challenge, we also felt the desire again to get involved with
International ministries — this time, right here in the United States
We are US Missionaries under Intercultural Ministries to minister to
the International people living here in America, especially in Ohio..
After spending fifteen years overseas as missionaries in the Philippines
and Indonesia, the desire to minister to foreigners has not waned. The
mission field has crossed the ocean and come to our land. There are over
400,000 foreign-born individuals living in Ohio alone. When that number
is added to the second and third generations, which are already immersed
within our culture, it is evident, we have a tremendous opportunity to
make our churches more culturally diversified. We need to reach them with
the Gospel message.
Be a part of a financial support team along with an army of prayer warriors
to pray for this ministry. The "ends of the earth" has made
it to our doorsteps and we must respond to this opportunity. I believe
we are on the verge of a break-through and the Lord is putting everything
in place for a mighty harvest.
Reaching the Nations here in America
