WE ARE WORKERS TOGETHER IN
THE RIPENED HARVEST FIELDS: PART TWO! In last month’s Good News we shared some of the Family Heimsoth ministry and the part that they have had over the years in the ministry. There have been some ministries that our ministry has influenced. We thought that it would be good to tell of one family ministry, the Heimsoth family from Indiana. This month Missionary Evangelist Martha Heimsoth shares a few words but first a little more from her sister Michelle then continuing with Martha. It has been a great blessing to know we have had a positive influence in lives that have taken up the ministry of soul winning. We have always encouraged ministers with these words that I learned years ago from one of my mentors, T.L. Osborn, that The Supreme Task of the Church is the Evangelism of the World. We continue now with the testimony of Missionary Evangelist Michelle Heimsoth and her sister, Evangelist Martha Heimsoth. |

Michelle continues... God has used Brother Tony and Sister
Marge in other ways as well, to influence the direction and
calling of my family. In 2004, My sister Martha was praying
about what to do with her life upon graduation from high school;
and, within 24 hours of praying, we had a phone call from
Brother Tony who happened to be ministering in Osaka, Japan and
recognized the need of the church there for an English
teacher/missionary.
Martha wasn't interested initially because
her dream of missions looked more like a thatch hut somewhere
deep in the jungle, but God had other plans
and has shown her that missions is more than a trip: it is a
LIFESTYLE! He has blessed her there in Japan the past 13 years
and has taught her much about surrender, self-sacrificing love,
and a faith that prevails! |

Martha continues… God has also opened many doors in the
former Soviet Union for my dad and me to teach in different
Bible schools organized, supported, or sponsored by Brother Tony
Abram and Brother Walter Zygarewicz; and, through those schools,
we have had many opportunities to travel and to minister
alongside the students once they have graduated, strengthening
them in their faith and ministries It was in fact at a
missionary conference in Eaton, Ohio, that I committed my life
to serve God as a missionary. The Abrams were there ministering that night and gave an alter call for anyone who wanted to serve God. I was about eight years old at that time when I went forward that night. Ten years later, the Abrams connected me to the Good Samaritan Church here in Japan. I came first thinking I would just be there one year, my older sister Lynette spent 6 months there in ministry, but 13 years later I am still doing the work of a Missionary/Evangelist/Teacher. |

Japan is in desperate need of a move of God and I'm excited to be a part of it! God has also opened doors to go to other countries as well… Korea, Asia, Malawi, Russia, Kyrgyzstan, etc... I can not see what the future holds but I continue to run forward following the Call of God, expecting that the best is yet to come. I have been four times to Russia with Michelle! |

 VILLAGE OPEN AIR CRUSADE! |
|
My ministry has taken me a number
of times to Malawi, Africa with my Dad and Michelle. We traveled
and ministered the length and breadth of the country (literally
border to border!) doing pastors and leaders seminars.
All of the meetings were well attended and there was great hunger in the people! We saw God's healing and protecting power in our own lives, and were blessed to be a small part of what God is doing on that side of the world. |

 HEIMSOTH WORKER’S SEMINAR |
 HEIMSOTH FAMILY |

Thank you Michelle and Martha for your words of testimony in this and last month’s Good News report. Also, we want to thank your father Pastor Mike Heimsoth for his ministry, your mother, your brother and two sisters who are not only standing behind you but are involved in ministry themselves. I am sure that many more will begin to pray for all of you. Marge and I have known your whole family for many years. We praise God how you and your brother and sisters have been used by the Lord with some reaching to the Nations and others on the home front. Marge and I know that much credit must be given to your father and mother, Pastor Mike and Linda Heimsoth. They have brought you up in the knowledge and fear of the Lord through the Word of God and being an example to you all. |
