HE will do it for YOU

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 […]

Approved

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! We began making plans and seeking God for the next 365 […]

Denied

Denied. That one, simple, short word stamped in red across our Russian religious visa application last summer packed a punch. My heart for sharing the gospel with the Russian people has been steadily growing for more than six years. Getting into the country is half the battle. In order to do any sort of evangelism […]

When the Devil tries to discourage you, order the cheesecake.

If the Enemy is trying to discourage you, it usually means you’re doing something great for the Kingdom. Tanja and I just returned from Russia. It was a whirlwind. In the 72 hours we were there, we spoke 14 times between the two of us. It was, by all accounts, a very successful trip.  As soon […]

155 People Give Their Lives to Jesus in Krivoy Rog

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 […]

Angelina: Fed, Healed, and Saved

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 […]
