Our Ministry

God created the heavens and earth, a vast expanse of time and space.  Even though Adam was created in a garden with all he needed to survive, he soon found himself sent out from the garden and wandered beyond its confines. 

The story of mankind is one of wandering and moving from place to place.  Many of the heroes of the faith were told by God to leave their homes and go to a different place.  Abraham wandered, Moses wandered. Even after the Israelites settled in the land promised to Abraham, there are countless instances of those who travelled to pursue God’s will, or spread the word.  Jesus wandered in Judea and Galilee, the first disciples were sent to preach the words of Jesus to the Jews  and Paul wandered on numerous missionary  journeys to preach Jesus Christ to the gentile world.  In Matthew 28, we are told by a resurrected, living Jesus to go and make disciples of all nations and as disciples we are heeding that directive and taking the Good News of Jesus Christ to the “nation” of America, where we are seeing a huge void in the spiritual health of our people.

As Karen and I have travelled around this country and even into part of Ontario, more than 40,000 miles since September, 2011, we have been overwhelmed by the thirst of people in the small towns and rural area for a more meaningful life and a reason to continue in their work, raise their families and pass on something of value to their children and grandchildren.  We see a hunger for someone to listen to their hopes and fears, to encourage and uplift them as they search for a meaning for their life and the troubles and sorrows which tend to drag them down or create fear of the future.  We don’t have all the answers, but we do know that Jesus Christ has been the answer to our anxieties, fears, uncertainties and by His grace and mercy we have been given new life, and the hope of a sure and certain future beyond the days we have left on this earth.  We want to continue to preach the Word, not as ordained ministers or educated theologians, but as ordinary people with a call God placed on our lives during our 40 day, “2013 Reunion trip” of 7000 miles thru 17 states and Ontario, to travel where He leads us, to meet whoever He places in our path and try to be light where there is darkness,  a bearer of hope where there is despair and being Jesus where He is not known or not followed. 

We want to be Jesus-directed and obedient to the leading of the Holy Spirit.  We have no planned itinerary or timetable.  God is our roadmap and our clock.  We go wherever and whenever He calls.
