Recently, I (Jami) spent much of the time at the ranch Bible studies crying (happy tears)! Here are 3 of the ladies who are lives that have been totally transformed by Jesus.

The Problems: Few evangelical churches (buildings) and most are not reaching their communities with the gospel Rural areas lack churches within reach The Solution: Disciples must multiply in (and outside of) homes Your Role and Ours: Lead people to Christ and train them to start house churches
In the spring of 2020, God led us to start Covone Ministries’ Project 5,000. Many of our U.S. ministry partners added a special donation for food bags to their monthly gifts. We used this as an opportunity to teach growing believers in the house churches to give to others, while sharing their faith. Covone Ministries supplied the food bags, andContinue reading Disciples are making disciples!
Demons Are Real! (by Phil) As we got started at a recent Bible study, I noticed that a young woman was sitting behind me, by a wall apart from the circle.

Not exchanging the traditional Mexican hug & kissContinue reading Sharing Hygiene Care

While others have committedContinue reading Faithful
