Here you will find exciting information about some of the international partners God has blessed us with during the past few years. These partners represent literally hundreds of thousands of lives all over the globe! It has been our joy and honor to assist each of these ministries in their vital work.

 

"In February, 2006 I stayed with Jeff, Jane his wife, and his 3 children for a week at his home and was so humbled by his love for me and the way he loves his wife and children. In July, he visited me in Uganda...his preaching touched many leaders...who are always asking me to bring Pastor Jeff back..."

Bishop Patrick Baligasima, Discipleship Mission International - Uganda, Africa

1. You and your church can pray for us! Please visit the events and prayer section of this website so that you can be better informed as you pray.

2. You or your church can give financially to this vital ministry. Due to the 3rd world status of many of the countries we assist, the financial need is great. We would be honored to be "adopted" as you or your churches "missionary!"

Bishop Patrick has been serving in Uganda for over 20 years. When he started out there was much opposition. He had a church of only 3 people and his father would go to all the villages speaking against his own son! Then one day God performed a miraculous healing through Bishop Baligasima's ministry and his father surrendered to Jesus. The church immediately grew to 300 people!

Since that time, over 250 other churches have been started in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. Over 250 pastors have been trained. Three academic schools are now operated by Bishop Baligasima with over 1,700 students! He also oversees a main church of nearly 2,000 attendess and he cares for over 350 orphans daily!

Bishop Baligasima is the humblest man Jeff has ever met - please stand in prayer for Bishop Patrick Baligasima and the great work he oversees!

 

Evangelist Imran Sadiq is a dynamic 25 year old evangelist. He was blessed with a beautiful voice for singing, but early on refused to use the gift for God's glory. After a very challenging medical experience, he surrendered all of his gifts to God for His glory.

This young evangelist now oversees 50 house churches with 5 full-time pastors! And he is not stopping - he is praying for 50 more house churches with 5 more full-time pastors. He loves Pakistan and is passionate about reaching this Islamic nation for Jesus.

Recently he began a Brick House Ministry. This ministry primarily reaches out to the poor, illiterate, and lost people of Pakistan who make bricks in the rural parts of Pakistan. His vision is to train and equip these people with the Gospel of Jesus!

Please join us in praying for this dynamic young Evangelist!

 

Joseph has been ministering along the coastal villages in the Konapapapeta region of India for over 10 years. He has faced much persecution during this time. Through hunger, heat, and much opposition, he began a church with only 3 people. Today this church has grown to over 300 and he also oversees 23 other churches. He has plans for 20 other churches in the near future!

When asked about dealing with the persecution he faced, Joseph replied by saying "My hunger for souls did not consider my physical hunger." - WOW! Please stand with Joseph and his wife in prayer as they plow the field God has assigned to them.

 

Terry and Arlene Dupont lead a powerful ministry called Open Eyes Ministries. They have served primarily in Nicaragua for the past 7 years. They are originally from Tennessee. This ministry partners with churches all over Central America to train them in small groups, conduct evangelism, and lead in other types of ministry.

In the short time the Dupont's have been in Central America, they have seen literally over 1 Million people surrender their lives to Jesus! Terry is past retirement age, but he is not stopping any time soon - he has now branched out into Honduras and Costa Rica and has plans for ALL OF CENTRAL AMERICA!

Please stand in prayer for Open Eyes Ministry and the Duponts! You can also visit them on their website at www.openeyes.org.

 

Lance is a sports fanatic from Nebraska. He has served as a missionary in El Salvador for nearly 10 years. He pastors a vibrant growing church in Apopa, El Salvador. Jeff has preached many times in this church and now they are having to double the size of the sanctuary!

Pastor Lance also leads a tremendous high school ministry. Public schools all over the region regularly ask him to come and teach their kids about values and morals which inevitably leads to teaching about Jesus! Literally thousands of lives have been touched by this ministry. Lance's only comment about this is to say, "The problem is we don't have enough people resources to go into all the schools that are asking us to come." - WOW!

Please pray for Pastor Lance and his dynamic ministry. Also, Pastor Lance married a Salvadorian girl named Karina a few years ago. They recently gave birth to a son and now Karina is pregnant again - Praise the Lord!
