Missions Efforts Changing our World
by M.L. Walls

This year has been a very exciting year for the Foreign Missions Department of the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ! Reports from our missionaries are encouraging to know of how God is moving in their areas of labor.

We had the privilege of visiting eight District Camp Meetings this year. We sincerely appreciate the warm and welcome reception we received from each District Superintendent. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to promote the work of the Foreign Missions Department at your camp.

We had the honor of speaking at the very first Women’s Esprit Conference of the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ, Philippines.
Following the WE conference, Brother Elkins and I had the opportunity of conducting a two-day seminar for the ministers and workers. What a blessing to witness the enthusiasm and willingness to learn coming from about 100 ministers and workers! The church in the Philippines continues to move forward in a positive manner with reports of baptisms and people receiving the Holy Ghost being report on a frequent basis.

Another highlight of our year was to be able to attend the 2nd Annual European Missionary Conference. This year it was held in Ireland where Brother and Sister Thomas Potter and daughter Julie are our missionaries. The Conference was held in the brand new church building that the Potters had been praying for and working toward for some time. They now have a beautiful building in which to worship God. The anointing of the Lord was on every service. The Potters are to be commended for being such great hosts for the Conference, and for the great work they are doing in Ireland. (more…)

Growing Up in Russia by Jordan Stumbo

It was a hot summer day in southern Indiana in the month of May 1996, a day that would forever change my life. It was my ninth birthday, and after all of my birthday guests had left my parents sat me down and told me two things – first that I was going to have a baby brother, and second that we were going to Russia to live. Imagine if you can my parents trying to explain to a nine-year-old boy that he is going across the ocean to a land that he had only read about in the comics. (more…)

Q: One of the great aspects of being in the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ is the opportunity to know people on a more personal level. How has the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus impacted your ministry over the years? How do you feel your ministry has impacted this organization?

When I received the Holy Ghost at the age of 13, my family was not in the church. Many ministers in the Assemblies of the Lord Jesus Christ took me under their wings and became family to me. I started preaching shortly after I got in the church and received my local license at the age of 16. I have been blessed to be involved in some capacity of ministry and leadership the entire time I’ve been in the organization – Sectional Youth Director, District Youth Secretary, District Youth President, General Youth President (14 years), Assistant General Superintendent (6 years), and Editor of the Apostolic Witness. My life has been woven around the ALJC, and it has influenced every aspect of my life. (more…)
