Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous,
but the labourers are few; - Mat 28:18 KJV And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. - Mat 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: - Mat 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.

| It was in the
year of 1987 during Marge and my 25th wedding celebration, when many
ministers were laying hands on us, praying for us, Pastor Maggos of
Alton, Illinois began to prophesy over us. (He being the first of a
number of prophecies, that we received concerning our future
ministry) What he said was what the Lord had already started dealing
with us.
The word of exhortation was that although our ministry would continue in the fields of evangelism and soul winning, that there would be a change toward teaching, training and raising us other workers to go and preach the gospel. Shortly we began to see the change and though what is most dear to us is winning the lost to Christ, we saw great joy in training others with what the Lord has given us. |

| In this way we
are duplicating and multiplying our ministries through others. In
this ‘Good News Report,’ we worked with the Slavic Missionary Church
"Bethany", located in Sacramento, California with their 350 Bible
School students.
We were there to minister in their church of about 6,000 which includes the youth. It is the largest Slavic church in the Americas. 20 years ago there were only two Slavic Churches in Sacramento. Now there are over 80 Slavic churches. |

he immigrated to Sacramento, CA.

| Our ministry was to the youth of the churches in the area and to the saints in their regular services. The power of God fell in great power in every meeting. Many were touched spiritually and physically by the Lord. I was moving in the gift of Prophecy, when one of the pastors ran to the mike and grabbed it, stating as we prayed the mass prayer of faith, his deaf ear popped open. People were healed all over the place. Glory to God! Teaching the students for the week, I sensed that they were like spiritual sponges soaking up the Word of God. Most of my teaching was on Evangelism, Soul winning and Faith. It was nice to do all the lessons in English. | |

| We had good fellowship with Walter and Nina and their family as they gave us hospitality. We were also able to map out planning for future outreaches in Russia, Ukraine and other parts of the former USSR. We prayed for and God used us in the gifts as we were able to pour our ministry hearts out to them. Pray for these future soul winners. | |
