Missions
Reverend David Olson The Olsons, veteran missionaries, who have served with the Media Ministries for many years have accepted a new Global assignment. He will train leaders for future assignments, lead teams around the world in production of new tools for ministry, which will help to reach the lost and explore new avenues of outreach. He will produce films and work with Assemblies of God schools in getting new missionaries involved in media ministries. His previous work with International Ministries in Brussels, Belgium, working around the world, training and providing support for Global Teen Challenge, was helping to prepare him for this new responsibility. Increasingly, the rest of the world is looking more like the USA, watching TV and films and surfing the Internet. We need to reach them by means of new technology, bringing them the Gospel. Reverend Earl Stubbs The Stubbs are veteran missionaries to Andhra Pradwsh, India. He and his wife Arlene are the first and only Assemblies of God missionaries to live and minister in this state of over 80 million people and 77,000 cities, towns and villages. This Assemblies of God District was established in 1988 and now has 200 churches and outreaches and a Bible school with 60 students enrolled. The Stubbs have also pioneered and are pastoring an English-language church in the capital city of Hyderabad. Plans for a new Evangelistic Center are under way. India is made up of 25 states and 7 union territories. India?s civilization is one the oldest in the world. 83% are Hindus, 11% Islam and only 3% Christian. It is an enormous task to reach them with the Gospel. Reverend Kevin Folk The folks are newly appointed missionaries to Spain.
