Ministry Presentation at Warrior Connection Fellowship in Odenton, MD

"I hate it here. I miss you guys. I wish there were someone here doing what you do."

This is an email we got from a young sailor who was part of our fellowship here in Virginia Beach; and then was transferred to San Diego.

The dream Yvonne and I have is to see Pentecostal hospitality house military ministries started all over the United States. So when a young man or woman gets transferred from here to another duty station anywhere in this country, that we have a family we can plug them into right away. 

Right now, as far as we know, we are the only Pentecostal hospitality house military ministry in the United States.

So part of our work is vision casting. Hopefully we can inspire and train other couples to do what Yvonne and I do. Pentecostal couples that are faithful and committed to Jesus Christ and their local church; established in their faith; with the gift of hospitality; and able to reach out to these young military men and women who are away from their homes and families.

In Matthew 9:38 Jesus said, "Ask the Lord of the harvest, therefore, to send out workers into His harvest field." Our prayer is that the Lord would raise up couples with a passion to reach young military men and women for Jesus Christ. To give couples the gift of hospitality if they don't already have it, and call them into this ministry. To enter this mission field.

People who do this become missionaries to the military without even leaving the comfort of their own homes.

The last weekend in April Yvonne and I participated in Freedom Outreach's Warrior Connection Fellowship in Odenton, Maryland.

Hosted by the Odenton Church of God we had a power packed day of fellowship, worship, listening to ministry leaders speak on a variety of military specific topics, eating together, laughing, and praying together.
