Ministry Highlights

Ministry Goals

God is blessing the ministry of the Durhams. People are giving their hearts to Christ, and new converts are being discipled into mature Christians. Pray that God will help Ed and Heather as they seek more ways to reach hurting people with the hope of the Gospel! Here are some goals they would like to see accomplished:

• Recovery groups for alcoholics and addicts.
• A half way house for homeless people who want a changed life.
• A rehab center for alcoholics.
• Businesses run by businessmen and women to fund their ministries.
• A college for training national pastors and leaders.
• A ministry dealing with the Sex Trade.
• A prayer conference for the missionaries of Eastern Europe.
• Ever growing communities of believers that have a passion to bring hope and healing to those in their sphere of influence. In their own words, “We would love to have communities of believers all over Hungary and the surrounding countries that never stop rescuing the perishing.”
