You will find many things as you go through our website, sermons, teachings, cassettes and Cds to order, but we are also here to do what we do everywhere. God calls us to be His hands extended to you, to proclaim His word, to show you His love, and to be used by Him so that He can meet your needs.

Please feel free to contact us with any questions, or prayer needs and we will respond to you. And please send your prayer requests, He hears and desires to answer! There will also be announcements (as in the new book released above), along with our itinerary. You will have a place to e-mail us all along the way to ask questions and get awnsers, so please enjoy the site and come back periodically.

Thieves in the Kingdom reveals much about our lives and our world, about what is wrong and why, and about what is to come. Much is coming, and we dare not to be ignorant of it. We cannot be so caught up in our daily lives that we do not prepare for the future.

This is especially true living in the fast-paced generation and society we live in today. Even with world news constantly informing us and information at every fingertip, we still need to focus on the priorities of our lives.

We need to see this world as it really is, and to see ourselves as we really are, as well as our place in the midst of it all. I know that can seem very challenging sometimes, but we must persevere anyway. We must not ignore the most precious part of our lives, as most people are prone to do. The riches, the rewards, and the outcome we are supposed to get out of life are just too great, too important, and way too much for us to miss out on.

Fiction, fantasy, and imagination are sometimes very good and can make for great books and movies. But when the real deal is bolder, broader, and more revealing than any story someone can come up with, we ought to check it out and be willing to see it for what it is.

Craig and Ellen were both born and raised in Mpls, Mn, and both of them met the Lord in the spring and early summer of 1980. They spent the next weeks and months in serious study of God's word, Christian living, and in constant fellowship with God's people. That fall, the Lord called them to full time ministry and they have been living and doing the work of the ministy ever since.

They started out by knocking on doors in the low income area of their city where they led people to Christ and invited people to their church. As Evangelists they went forward into the world reaching the lost and leading them to Christ. They did that not only by preaching in churches, but in missions, in prisons, in jails, and out on the streets to drug dealers and gang members alike.

Many people are far away from the Lord, and sometimes for many different reasons, but they all need the same thing, they need the love of God. They also need to have the truth presented to them, and to be encouraged and challenged to receive it. That has been a big part of their ministry as is evident when you hear them.

As Evangelists God called and equipt them to speak and to travel to a world in need of Him, and whether to large groups, or to one individule at a time, the message is always the same. God loves them, has their good in mind, and wants to receive them as His own. He is there for them, and if they will come to Him with a heart of faith and receive Him as their savior and Lord, He will receive them gladly and take care of them now and forever more.

The past 28 years have been wonderful, and filled with so much as life has plenty for all of us. But there have been many lessons to be learned as well and we have learned them. You don't travel in ministry for that many years without learning many things, and it is also our job to share with the body of Christ those lessons, so that God's people are not only equipt but are warned of the ways of mankind, and the many snares of the devil.

But God's people need help and encouragement too, and they also need to be equipt for service so that they can do the ministry work that God has for them.Craig and Ellen have been preaching, teaching, and calling God's people to a closer walk with Him, and bringing them the gifts that God has for His people.
