Missionary Spotlight: Alf Evans

"Where two or three are gathered…doesn’t have to be a church building. Through worship, music, laughter, and relationships, Alf serves churches, senior centers, and bars and restaurants, using the gift of music to meet people where they are. Spending years leading worship for kids ministry, youth, and adults, Alf has a unique opportunity to bring encouragement and the message of hope found in Jesus to people from many different walks of life. In churches, he serves through worship, preaching, and ministry events. At senior centers, his music provides an opportunity to bring joy, encouragement, and meaningful connection to people who may be experiencing loneliness or isolation.

On weekends, Alf often takes his music outside the traditional church setting, performing at bars, restaurants, and other venues throughout the community. These settings provide opportunities to build genuine relationships with people who might never step inside a church. Alf doesn’t see these venues simply as places to perform, but as mission fields—places where he can listen to people’s stories, encourage them, and be a positive presence while allowing God to open doors for spiritual conversations. “I like to have church on a Friday night!, Alf explains, doing gospel “sing along songs”, such as “I Saw The Light” and “Amazing Grace”. It’s beautiful how often we break in to worship on a Friday night at a bar. Through country music, gospel, and hymns, Alf uses music as a bridge between people and the Gospel. His desire is simple: to go where people are, love them well, build relationships, and allow God to use every song, conversation, and encounter to point people toward Christ."

Missionary Spotlight: LeRoy & Judy Curtis

"In 1989 Judy and I were commissioned by IOM to start a ministry training institute in Kenya, East Africa. After a year of preparation we relocated to Kitale, a city in the western part of the country. We integrated ourselves into the local community and soon found favor there and an ideal situation to begin our work. We learned a lot about missions that cannot be taught in a classroom. The story of our wonderful eight- year adventure in missions is recorded in our book, “Out of it in Africa: Dispatches from Clueless Missionaries”. Over time, we were able to complete a comprehensive inductive Bible curriculum, Basic Inductive Bible Studies (BIBS), and to establish a two-year diploma program that was presented in two-week intensive sessions every three months.

In 1996 we graduated our first class of students. Soon afterward we purchased a plot of land and built a campus. Thanks to extensive IOM participation, the Kenya Ministry Training Institute has grown beyond imagination and continues to equip pastors and church leaders with a solid, practical biblical education. Thousands of students have graduated from KMTI over the years, resulting in the establishment of numerous churches and other Christian ministries. (Ephesians 3:20)

The curriculum was translated into Spanish, and since 2013 IOM has partnered with Mexico Outreach to establish ministry training institutes in Mexico, using the same methodology that was proven successful in Kenya. There are currently two campuses there. We continue to promote and assist in the establishment of ministry training wherever it is needed and to provide the same proven curriculum that is used in Africa and Latin America. Our prayer is that we are able to get the curriculum translated into several languages and make it available on thumb drives for worldwide distribution.

Footnote: After graduating from the University of North Carolina in 1965, LeRoy was commissioned in the United States Navy, where he served until God called him into professional ministry. Upon completing his studies at Asbury Theological Seminary with a Master of Divinity degree in 1972, he pastored various churches, gradually becoming involved with Christian education."

We are so thankful for the many years of ministry partnership with LeRoy and Judy!

Ministry Spotlight: Lifting Hands

"Rick and Pat Peacock founded Lifting Hands ministry to provide support and encouragement to missionaries on the field. , Missionaries are on the front lines of a spiritual battle fighting for the souls of people around the globe. In their work of sharing the love of Christ and discipling new believers, missionaries can feel alone and become discouraged. Based on Exodus 17:12-13, Rick and Pat come alongside as advocates, essentially lifting up their hands so the missionaries can stay the course and the battle can be won. Rick also serves as the Director of Outreach for Reynolda Church in Winston-Salem, NC.

Update from their recent trip to Malawi:

Thank you for your prayers, gifts, and support for our mission trip to work with Pastor Stephen Banda in Malawi. Our team consisted of Chuck and Janelle Siebsen (Reynolda Clemmons campus), Wes Tuttle (Mission Pastor of River Oaks Community Church) and us.

Our goal was to bring encouragement to Pastor Stephen Banda, the many pastors in his denomination and the church in general. We visited 6 churches and a school during our 7 days in Malawi, with two days to travel to and from the capital of Lilongwe to Blantyre, a major city in the South. We were received by our brothers and sisters in Malawi, which truly is the "warm heart" of Africa.

After an extended time of singing and worship, our team was next on the schedule. Here is how our part of the service typically went:
Pastor Wes would normally bring a greeting and sometimes open in song.
Chuck would then tell the story of Gideon while Janelle displayed pictures of the story. Rick would share the lessons from the story of Gideon for that particular church, such as prayer, trusting God, depending upon the power of the Spirit, denying false gods, etc. Pat would share words and scripture that God put on her heart.
Janelle would give her testimony. Wes would summarize and give the final words of encouragement. The people appreciated the effort it took for us to be there and we were mutually encouraged.

We are so thankful for those who helped support the trip financially or with gifts to take.

River Oaks donated $2500 for Bibles, which were handed out at each service to those designated by the pastors to receive one. Many of you donated reading glasses, which were greatly appreciated for those whose eyes can no longer see up close. Soccer balls were donated as well and were a big hit with the youth. Candy was given to the children.

Even though the Malawi people have very few material goods compared to American standards, we saw a great spiritual maturity. We sensed that God is raising up the churches of Malawi to be missionaries to the world."
