International Fellowship for Everyday Saints

How do your gifts help?

1. Bibles, Bible portions, and other Christian literature and media to give freely to those who are interested in seeking God's grace.

2. Time and focus and resources to help launch new Bible studies among the poor and less reached people and working with partners to help build these up.

3. Training & encouragement for laborers & leaders so that more will reach out to those without the Good News. Providing flexibility in my schedule & travel to meet with and build up those who are seeking to serve Christ & to make Him known. Help also enables me to travel to preach in various gatherings of believers.

4. Communication & shipping: what it takes to connect with people for follow up, either sending them Bibles & books or arranging for meetings & maintaining networks or promoting prayer.

5. Freedom to evangelize those in poverty, those who have immigrated, and those who are studying in the USA in order to enlarge their vision of God's purposes and the call to repent.

6. Gifts to those in need: help with groceries, basic durable medical/health related equipment, prescription assistance, and clothing for those in need. Also gifts help enable me to take time to fill out paperwork and send it on behalf of those in need.

7. Financial partnership with other strategic ministries which are on the frontlines & are similarly focused on making Jesus known among those who haven't heard. Discipling all nations. Among these are a ministry connection in Western Kenya which is helping a village develop in every dimension of life.

God is working on public transportation, in apartments, in gatherings of Christians, and on college campuses and elsewhere in and around Washtenaw County, MI, USA (home of the University of Michigan, Eastern Michigan, Washtenaw Community College, and others). International students, scholars, immigrants, and the poor are being reached as we sit down with folks or walk with them along the way to discuss the person and power of Christ.

The lost are seeing prayers answered in Jesus name & hearing what He did on the cross & in the resurrection. The religious face the fact that all have sinned. Sinners are turning from their sin & becoming true saints. With the Word of God in many languages & prayer, we are seeking to share the love & vision of Christ with the lost, the least, and leaders of the Lord's church. 

Peoples impacted by our witness include: Jews, Arabs (Egyptian, Iraqi, Jordanian,  Lebanese, Palestinian, Saudi, Yemeni), Atheists, Bahai, Buddhists, Chinese, Christians (Apostolic, Baptists, Catholics, Mennonites, Methodists, Orthodox, Presbyterians, Quakers, Reformed...), Druggies, Greeks, Hausa, Hindus, Hispanic, Indonesians, Iranians, Japanese, Jehovah Witnesses, Kenyans, Koreans, Mandaean, Maninka, Mormons, Muslims (Ahmadiya, Alawi, Shi'ite, Sufi, Sunni), New Agers, Pakistanis, Rastafarians, Sikhs, Somalis, Unitarians, Universalists, etc.

We do this by maintaining the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace. We believe God's purpose in this epoch of history is for the whole church to share the Whole Christ from the Holy Bible with the whole person of every person of every people in every language in all lands for all time with all boldness, focusing on the lost, the least reached, and leaders. Our own service is primarily in Washtenaw County, Michigan, USA. Occasional outreaches have taken place in parts of Arkansas, SW Michigan, NW Indiana, Indonesia and wherever the Spirit may take us.

Pray for those who are in these areas, that they would be impacted by the presence of Jesus. Pray for free access to God's Word. Pray for the joy of the Lord to be our strength. Pray for more laborers who will give their all for the Kingdom of God. Pray for us to be filled by the Holy Spirit. Will you join us in being fishers of men?
