I have been preaching for 50 years and in the last two years people are coming from east and west to join our ministry as never before. These are people who the Lord is sending to us; people who have gone with us to Brazil. They are young, they are energetic, they are anointed, they are hard working, they are creative and more than anything, they love Jesus. It is really a breath of fresh air coming our way. I want you to meet then here today. By the way, I have 10 people named here, but there are new souls coming to be part of our ministry every day.

1-David Bleakman

An engineer with a heart for God. If you meet him you will be impressed. Everything he does not only moves forward and but produces results. He went to Brazil and his life changed. He is only one of the people who the Strange family has brought to Jesus in the last year. it’s amazing what God is doing through David Bleakman.

2-David Schmid

Another engineer who joined our ministry and has become an amazing story. David traveled to Brazil to draw plans for the mission church extension which is about to take place. David is a single man – a person who can cook and keep a spotless house in Peachtree City, Georgia. He used to race Lotus cars and now works for an engineering firm in Atlanta. David is a blessing to the kingdom of God.

3-Mike Reader

I don’t know how many times I have thanked God for our brother Mike. An electrician by trade, he lives in Madison, Florida with his wife Melissa. His imput into our ministry has changed the way we operate. His involvement with the INTERNSHIP PROGRAM  in Brazil has been an overwhelming blessing to us. You need to meet Mike. He will bring joy into your life. 

4-Clint Strange.

I finally met Clint, one of the five Strange brothers, this last March. I will never forget the power of the Holy Spirit ministering to him in Brazil. There are spiritual events that you know you will remember forever, and his experience in Brazil is one of those. Clint is a credit to his family and a credit to the kingdom of God. What a joy to meet Clint and get to know him as a man of God.

5-Jennie Armstrong

You have to meet her: a single mother who loves the kingdom of God. She is energetic, creative and a blessing to those who have the privilege to meet her. Her sharing with us about events, public relations and simply sharing Jesus has blessed all who know her.

6-Michelle Burnette

She works as an anesthetist who puts people to sleep in our hospitals. But in terms of her family, she puts them into the kingdom! Her father has received Jesus Christ as his Savior on the March trip to Brazil and now the family is hearing from the Lord about themselves and others. What a joy to see God at work in this family. It all began with Michelle. Have you ever met her?

7-Paul Phelan

You that do not come to our Tuesday Bible study at Bethlehem UMC, Georgia, have never met Paul. He is a quiet, gentle man of God who has changed so much, I sometimes do not recognize him. He is filled with the Holy Spirit and anointed of God. What a blessing to us Paul has become.

8-Robin Marshall

Those of you from Dahlonega know Robin well, but others from Georgia need to meet her. She is creative, filled with ideas and one serving and anointed lady. When you come to the Rekindle The Flame conference AUGUST 14-16, 2009 AT THE CIVIC CENTER IN ATHENS, look for Robin. Anything that has to do with the way things look comes from her. What a blessing she has become to Jesus.

9 – Daphne Wright

When she first came to Brazil on a mission trip, she wanted to be invisible.  But the Lord saw her and called her to ministry.  She has come back to Brazil as an intern and helped us tremendously there.  And now, she is bringing 10 people from her small town in Tennessee on our first June 2009 trip to Brazil.  She is growing in leadership and anointing.  She has a great purpose in life and she is impacting so many for the kingdom.  We love Daphne.

10 – Christina Lohmeyer

She took a brave step of coming on a Brazil mission trip in March, even though she did not know what it really was all about.  Everyone in Brazil fell in love with her.  She stepped up to the plate and helped to make a miracle happen for one of our staff members there.  She prayed for people into the kingdom in some of the darkest places in Brazil. She immediately became “part of the family” because of her heart and her love for Jesus.  We hope to see Christina many more times and to see her family blessed.
