In Mexico, MO there is a church with a burden to reach the Spanish- speaking population. Under the leadership of Bro. Baitenger, Bro. Shawn Martinsic and his wife are heading up the outreach efforts, and the fruit of their labor is showing! This past April we were with them, along with Bro. Tom Zapata and Bro. Tony Tristan, for 3 services and the Lord filled 5 of their friends with the Holy Ghost.

It is our hearts desire to see a seminary Set up to train up bilingual ministers.Please help us pray that God will Open this door. The Need is growing Everywhere.

Down in Southern Florida at Bro. Andrew Urshans' church there are revival fires burning! This multicultural church takes daily prayer meetings seriously, and regularly fasts together as a body of believers. Their music is headed up by Bro. Robert Smith, our dear friend from Gateway! How powerful was the anointing in those services as he leads in worship from the piano. He and his wife are over the youth and youth choir and are doing a tremendous job raising their twin 5 year old daughters as well! Our daughter, Grace, immensely enjoyed their company!

"We go from glory to glory" or, in our sons case from Bump to bump. He has survived bumping into pews, altars, Doors, people, suitcases, our display table, bathroom sinks, etc.. However, he still continues to take it all on in 5th gear! We love to see him dance for Jesus!
