"Twenty years ago, while at Valley Forge Christian College,
God placed a burden on my heart to serve as a
missionary Bible college teacher.
A year ago a door of ministry opened for me to teach
at the Native American Bible College in North Carolina
as a missionary teacher.  My wife, Theresa and I
have prayerfully accepted this opportunity and were recently
commissioned as U.S. missionaries to the Native Americans.

Native Americans are one of the fastest growing,
but largest unreached people groups in North America.
They are resistant to outsiders and the Gospel for
good reasons.  Today, less than 5% of Native Americans
claim to be Christian.  God still wants the original
commitment to evangelize Native Americans fulfilled.
However, today, to reach a Native American,
it takes a Native American.  The best way
to establish God's Kingdom is by providing
Biblical training to indigenous leaders.  Because Native people
know their own culture, once they are Biblically trained
they can present Christ more effectively in it
than the average missionary.

Robeson County is home to the Lumbee Indians.
It is a rural area laced with drugs, alcoholism, poverty,
violence, and crime.  In its midst God has planted
Native American Bible College to provide accessible,
affordable and culturally sensitive training for Native pastors.
This is an area deeply in need of Jesus and trained Native pastors who can effectively reach others
in their culture for Christ.
We are praying for many to join us in this
missionary burden and vision."

*** NEW APRIL 1ST, 2009 ***
From their April Newsletter
"Life is busy, but good.  I'm teaching a theology course
which is particularly hard on the students.
They would appreciate it if you would either pray for them
or lay hands on me!
Theresa is now heading up the children's ministry at church
and I am leading the teen ministry.
About 14 youth have given their hearts to Christ
in the past 6 months, PLT!
Caleb has grown a phone against his ear.  We are constantly
threatening to remove it using invasive non-surgical techniques.
This growth seems to be associated with teenage-itis.
We get to see Levi and Alicia periodically and are hoping
to visit them in South Carolina over Easter.

We would appreciate your continued prayers for
 Theresa's health, as she is now in constant pain.
 Also for her father and step-father."

DREAM AGAIN MINISTRIES
Bringing hope through...

Healing hurts
Overseas Ministry
Planting churches
Eclectic preaching

"Mary Ann and I would like to share with you
what Dream Again Ministries is doing.
First of all, it is a new ministry that God is raising up
by using our 30 years of experience to prepare and advance
church leaders in the 21st century.

We dream about connecting pre-Christians of all cultures with
the Way, the Truth, and the Life of Jesus Christ
in these crucial times.

We dream about healing wounded people by helping them
understand how to become healthy and whole.

We dream about helping pastors and leaders
both internationally and here in the U.S.
by equipping them for effective and practical ministry.

We are also dreaming about training those
who have heard the call to plant churches.

Last but not least, we are dreaming about delivering innovative,
relevant and insightful preaching and teaching
to churches around the world.

God is a big God!
Join with us as we make these dreams come true!"
Pat and Mary Ann Manzo

Proverbs 13:12
"Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
but when dreams come true there is life and joy."

The Musacchio Family
Missionaries to the Youth of Guatemala

"We are John and Dina Musacchio.
Along with our four kids, Nicco, Roman, Nina & Sophia,
we minister to the youth of Guatemala. 

Along with our four kids, Nicco, Roman, Nina & Sophia,
we minister to the youth of Guatemala. 
In our passion to serve God and those around us,
we launched a ministry called
"Impacto Juvenil" (Youth Impact).
Through IJ we are reaching and rescuing youth through
dynamic evangelism and providing fresh and relevant
youth ministry training for the Body of Christ in Guatemala.

Read below about some of the incredible things God has been doing over our first term in Guatemala. 
Even what you read below
doesn't allow us but to scratch the surface of all of the stories
that tell what God has done during these past 4 years,
but I pray that this serves to spark something in your soul!"

*Impacto Juvenil exists to reach the youth
of Guatemala wherever they are found.
We have sponsored assemblies and events in over 30
secondary schools where the gospel has been ministered
to over 10,000 students!

*Our sports-centered outreach program
has been a huge success!
Dozens of young people have received Christ
and are being discipled in our ministry.
This model has inspired the National A/G Church
of Guatemala to begin to reach out to youth in a new way!

*Youth ministry training seminars are held at our
ministry center.  This converted warehouse also serves as home
to our church plant, Vida (Life) Assembly of God.
This young church has grown to over 250 in attendance
in less than 18 months.

"We are happy to announce the birth of our son,
Aiden Michael Jones, born January 5th, 2007,
weighing 8 pounds, 20.5 inches long!"

"We have just recently found out
exactly where we will be moving in Alaska.
Our ministry will begin on the far western coast
in a Yupik Eskimo Village called Emmonak.
This village is over 500 miles from the closest city
or highway and has roughly 850 people living there.
The only way in or out is by bush plane.
Our primary mission is to revitalize the local church
in Emmonak, and ultimately plant/revitalize churches
in the surrounding villages.  This region is in desperate need
of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  We are trusting that God
will provide in abundance our monthly support.
We will depart for Emmonak, Alaska on June 1st, 2007."

"You can help spread the gospel by praying for the Chinese
evangelists who are winning people to Christ.
Just one Chinese Fire Bible is used every day
in helping people come to Christ.
Our Father knows who gave the $8.00 for it.
Someday, the person who gave the offering will say,
'It was the best investment I have ever made.'
Chinese itinerant evangelists do not have a reference library
or laptop computer.  Usually they carry a small bag with
very few things.  Their most prized item is a Fire Bible.
Your prayer and financial gifts are helping us
to distribute the Chinese Fire Bible.
May the Lord richly bless you."

Edward and Christine are asking for our prayers,
our love and our support as they are heading to Spain.
"Jesus will write his own book of Acts in that land!
Believe with us!"
Amen

"In Spain, traditional churches and reminders of the
Christian faith are seen everywhere.  In spite of this,
most of her millions of inhabitants do not know
or nor have heard the Gospel.  The reason why Jesus came
to our world or the purpose of His death on the Cross
is not known.
People are aware of the Savior's name, but not the meaning
or its delivering power.  Each person must have a personal encounter and an act of dedication to Jesus our Lord. 
For this reason,
we are going to Spain, to be involved in Evangelism,
establishing churches in cities without the Gospel.
Pray for Spain and for us, that a mighty spiritual
breakthrough may take place.
For supporting us, we thank you from our hearts."
