With all this disaster with the coronavirus, one can quickly lose sight of God and who he is. In this sermon, we will learn about three characteristics of God and their effect on our lives. Be encouraged by this timely message by Shawn Brann, preached today at Chrüzpunkt church in Wettingen, Switzerland!
For the past 3.5 years we have been on the mission field in the most expensive city that lies in the middle of the most expensive country in the world. Now, that seems not only not smart but actually very stupid when you rely on financial support from the outside and mostly from people in […]
One of the things we see time and again in our work preaching the gospel is that we have to be the hands and feet of Jesus, not just the voice. When we’re sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, we get to do both. Our recent trip to Ukraine exemplified this. We partner […]
Approved After the devastating news that our Russian religious visas had been denied, we were over the moon when God worked a miracle and not only got us approved for one-time entry visas, but religious visas that allowed us entry for an entire year!

That’s exactly what happened on my recent trip to Istanbul, Turkey. The country is 98% Muslim, and Christian evangelism is illegal. […]
Krivoy Rog, a city in east Ukraine, is the longest city in Europe, at just over 120 km. It’s spread out and broken into many different zones. In Soviet times, this city was the outpost of the steel, metal, and mining industries. Most of the city was built by prisoners. Seventy percent of those prisoners […]
While evangelizing on the streets of Odessa, Ukraine, my team and I met Angelina, a woman whose angelic name should have indicated her destiny, but she was caught in the snares of the Enemy. Angelina approached our tent and asked if we could spare any food. She hadn’t eaten in three days. I gave her […]
