past several years and hook up with some of God’s most
awesome people. Below is a list of just a few of the
many ministries and services that we have worked with in the

Spiritual Growth
Andrew Wommack Ministries
www.awmi.net
We have known
and worked with Andrew & Jamie Wommack for
over 20 years. Andrew has a phenomenal teaching ministry,
whom the Lord has used to build a solid spiritual foundation
in our lives. We presently lead all of the praise & worship
in Andrew’s Gospel Truth Seminars held around the US & the
UK.
St. Louis Family Church
www.slfc.org
Our home church
since 1995. Pastors Jeff & Patsy
Perry, whom we have been in close relationship with before
any of us were married in the 70s, are an awesome team whom
God is using to lead many into salvation and close fellowship
with the Lord.
Joyce Meyer Ministries
www.joycemeyer.org
We
have known Dave & Joyce Meyer since the late 70s, and
have had the privilege to watch the amazing growth of their
ministry go from home bible studies to reaching the world through
TV & radio. We were honored to have the privilege
to lead the praise & worship before thousands in their
Life In the Word conferences around the nation for seven years,
ending in September 2004.

Disaster Relief and Foreign
Missions
Should you have desire to give towards Hurrican
or Tsunami relief, all of these ministries have hands-on involvement
in the relief and rebuilding efforts in their respective regions. You
can be assured that your gifts will go directly to the needs
specified, and not be caught up in the bureaucratic red tape
that much of the aid sent over has be entangled.
Service International
www.serviceinternational.org
S.I. is the disaster relief arm of
our church (St. Louis Family Church), and was birthed in 1993
as a result of the flooding which directly affected our church
and the entire region. Since then they have also been
involved in rebuilding efforts in hurricane, flooding and tornado-stricken
areas of the US such as Houston, S.W. Missouri, South Carolina
and many other regions. They also have an on-going recovery
ministry in Jakova, Kosovo, Sri Lanka and the hurricane-ravaged
areas of the Gulf Coast.
Daniel & Menorah McCarty
Happy Family Overseas Ministries
www.happyfamily.org
We
have known the McCartys for over 10 years. Presently
basing their ministry in Bankok, Thailand, they have hands-on
access to helping many people in the Tsunami-stricken area
of Phuket, along with outreach in other Asian nations through
Bible colleges, conferences and personal ministry.
Pat Bradley
International Crisis Aid
www.internationalcrisisaid.com
Pat & Sue Bradley have been close friends of ours for
20 years. During this time they have developed an insatiable
desire to help the “suffering church” around the
world, which has developed into a crisis relief organization. Pat
personally arranges and implements the delivery of several
tons of relief items (such items as rice, oil, flour,
salt, shovels, seeds, cooking pots, and many other effects
necessary for human survival) into such areas as southern Sudan,
Ethiopia, Afghanistan, and now Sumatra, Indonesia.
Jack & Sherry Harris
Global Messenger Service
www.globalmessenger.org
We
met the Harrises in 1983, and it was them who took
us on our first international trip to India in 1986. The
bulk of their ministry consists in Asia, but they have on-going
works in Brazil and other parts of the world, as well. Jack
and a team of co-workers will have an on-going work in the
Tsunami-affected areas, including Sumatra, Indonesia.
Tim & Karol Svoboda
YWAM
www.ywam-india.com
We
first met Tim & Karol on our first trip to India back
in 1986. They have lived in Chennai (formerly known as
Madras) for over 20 years, and have been directly involved
with the Tsunami relief effort, which devastated their home
state of Tamil Nadu.

Various Ministries
Don & Wendy Francisco
www.donfrancisco.com
Don & Wendy are good friends of ours who have a great
musical gift to the Body of Christ. Don, the author of
such renowned songs as “He’s Alive” and “I’ve
Gotta Tell Somebody” continues writing to challenge the
Church to rise up and take their place. Wendy is a multi-gifted,
precious woman of God who not only writes and plays incredible
creative songs, but is also a painter and artist of many different
mediums. Check out their website for a refreshing, and
even amusing visit (be sure to check out “Shasta’s
Page”).
Hillsong
www.hillsong.com
Our entire family had the privilege
to attend the annual Hillsong Conference in July 2004 for the
first time, and found ourselves so refreshed and lifted that
we came away with a stronger anointing in our own ministry.
The mindset that Hillsong carries throughout every facet of
their ministries
struck such a prominent note in our hearts that we have joined
ourselves with their Hillsong Network of Ministries, to stay
connected in a more essential way. We also try to attend other
conferences throughout the year, which continue to challenge
us and keep us even more stirred up in our giftings.
Eye on Gardening with Tim Alan
www.eyeongardening.com
Eye on Gardening airs weekly coast to
coast exclusively on iLifeTV Digital Cable Network. Tim Alan
is an evangelist at heart and uses this TV show to not only
share practical tips, landscape advice and showcase beautiful
locations throughout the Southeast, but he also integrates
a gospel message
into each program. Tim has linked our own website on his homepage
to encourage people to discover "the ultimate in praise & worship" (as
he says).
Mercy Ministries of America
www.mercyministries.org
Mercy Ministries is a fantastic outreach
to young women who are facing crisis situations. Unwanted pregnancies,
drug/alcohol abuse, suicide attempts and eating disorders are
among the backgrounds encountered by many of the residents.
Upon entering the live-in program, the girls are immersed into
a 24/7 environment of God's love and the power of His word
through Bible teaching, counseling, DVDs, chapel services and
attending local church services. M.M. does not charge to house
a girl in their first-class facilities, and are supported through
monthly donations and grants. We are honored to support such
a worthy and life-changing ministry as this.
