CURRENT MINISTRY: Their primary ministry is called TNT (training national trainers), where they equip national pastors and leaders to teach God's word with God's heart. These pastors then teach others, who, in turn, teach future generations of leaders how to mentor more indigenous leaders. This work is flourishing throughout Asia. the South Pacific, Latin America, Africa and the former Soviet Union.

CURRENT MINISTRY: Natives of Kenya, God has directed Pastor Kefah and Edinah to begin a ministry through their church. They were connected to Lone Rock Bible Church by way of the internet. Two men from Lone Rock were able to visit them in August of 2013 and see first-hand the ministry that God has given them. Pray for God's wisdom as they provide for 10-13 orphans in their home; as they preach the gospel with their lives, and safety while traveling. Their needs always exceed our ability to provide, pray for wisdom as we seek to teach them to raise their own support from local resources.
