Freddy and Paula Cooper are missionaries to the Dominican Republic. Before going to the DR, they served as missionary associates to Costa Rica for over two years and served as missions’ directors in their church for ten years. They have participated in and led short-term missions outreaches to various countries since 1985. In partnership with the national church of the DR, Freddy and Paula will organize outreaches to Haitian sugarcane workers and assist in construction projects. They feel that God is leading them to the sugarcane plantations in the Caribbean in order to reach a lost and deprived group of people for His glory. Many of these fields have sub-standard living conditions, no medical care and have no educational system for the children. Most of these people are without hope and have little chance of ever leaving. Freddy and Paula will also provide teacher-training seminars and be involved in Latin American Childcare through construction and teaching. They are blessed with two children, David and Jeff, and six grandchildren. While home itinerating, they are living in Trussville, Alabama. If you would like to contact them for a service, you can call or email the following: freddy.cooper@agmd.org, (205) 427-3806, (205) 527-9555. Thank you for your prayers and support. |

Justin and Joy Felch are candidate missionaries with the Assemblies of God U.S. Missions Chi Alpha department. They are working to reach and disciple students at Troy University. God has strategically placed future leaders from around the globe on this campus at a point in their life that they are looking for direction and eager to learn. Their desire is to equip students to be a witness for Christ on their campus, in the market place, and around the world. They do this by building relationships at a time when most students have just moved away from many of the significant people in their life. When they come to campus, Justin and Joy want to be a family that supports and encourages them in all aspects of life. Discipleship is the goal and authentic relationship is the method. You can contact them by email at troychialpha@yahoo.com |

Doug and Ramona, Meredith and
Luke Jacobs have just returned from the remote nation of Nepal.
It is a country of striking beauty and lovely people contrasted
with a lack of sanitary infrastructure and water so polluted
that to drink from the streams is a sure path to affliction.
The Jacobs’s have crossed those streams and climbed the
mountains to reach some of the most remote and unreached people
of the world. A nation once noted for only a handful of
Christians is now into the 100,000's of thousands of believers.
This is a triumph of eternal proportions. The story of the Doug Jacobs family is truly one of the most exciting of our time. We are proud they belong to the Alabama District. Through the amazing grace of God, the hearts of the Jacobs’s reach into the heights of the Himalayan Mountains, the highest in the world. Yet, God's love goes even higher than those highest mountains. If you would like to contact them for a service please email dougramonajacobs@gmail.com |

Joil and Leah
Marbut are modern day Missions marvels. Their heart for the
remote and unreached is unsurpassed in the South American
continent. Facing disease, crossing foreboding rivers into the
unknown and lifting up the banner of Jesus who shed his blood on
a rugged cross is their daily bread. The Shuar Indians deserve the Gospel no more nor less than anyone else. Yet, less was the bitter portion, which they drank for centuries. Few tribes were in any greater darkness until the Marbuts’ shined the Light of the Gospel of Christ into their sin-captive souls. The Marbuts’ not only tell the story, they live the story, which unfolds into a brilliant example of God’s love and grace. The picture they paint with their lives echoes through the Ecuadoran jungles, Jesus saves, Jesus saves. Let’s get them back soon for sometimes darkness does not wait but turns to death. You can reach them to schedule a service by email joil.marbut@agmd.org or call 205-301-0996. |

Ron and Terri Pitts have
accepted an invitation to serve as Director of Operations for
Life Publishers and the Fire Bible. They will be leaving their
position as Executive Vice President of Global University and
begin itineration in April to prepare for the new assignment. Ron and Terri will be working with Bible societies, missionaries, translation teams and publishers around the world to provide the Fire Bible, a one-book Spirit filled library, to pastors and lay workers in their own language. In many countries, the cost of owning a Bible is prohibitive and tools like maps, study notes and concordances do not exist. With the Fire Bible available in 26 languages and 31 more in process, the need is both strategic and critical. If you would like to schedule a Fire Bible Sunday to help provide pastors with a Bible they will have for a lifetime you may contact Ron and Terri by email at: ron.pitts@firebibles.org by phone at 417-827-6208 or by Skype name: rlpitts. |
