Who we Are. What we Do.

This is a ministry relying on the power of God.

I was planning to be a Clinical Psychologist, studying Psychology even before I entered university.

While a student in college I was confronted with the teachings and claims of Jesus by a music group from out West. It interested me so much I could not forget it. Later I was confronted by an itinerant travelling evangelist who played the guitar and preached the Gospel. From those two experiences I became a convert and follower of Jesus Christ.

I was then called into the ministry in 1968. I did not want to go into ministry as I thought it was most unappealing. That was my image of ministers. But after reading the book The Cross and the Switchblade by David Wilkerson I changed my mind. I saw a different side of ministry that was for those who were sincere and bold to preach. That event changed the direction of my life for a second time (the first was conversion).

I enrolled in seminary and while there had a Pentecostal experience.That was the third event that changed my life in the year 1970. After that I was given a fervency to study the Bible. That led to my first and strongest gift from the Spirit: Teaching. I was able to read a verse or more in the Scriptures and supernaturally preach on it with insight, understanding and anointing beyond my natural ability.

That was the third event that changed my life. I have been consumed with Scripture since.

Just before retirement I was offered a small church in Western New York where I presently serve.

Mark 16:15 Ministries is an answer to prayer I prayed in 1979 when inbetween church denominations. God has been faithful to answer. This ministry now is both in the USA as well as overseas.

But it's not really about me, but about a living God and how He works today. And I credit him for any and all success in this ministry.

##################################

I am serving the Lord Jesus in healing ministry he called me to many years ago in a vision (1972). The Lord has graciously added teaching and pastoral work to that calling.

My ministry background is Lutheran (ordination). In 1979 I transferred into the Assemblies of God and served a church in NY. From there I went to Ontario to serve a church and Bible College with North American Native peoples. After that I pastored a church in Napanee Ontario where I finally was led into a full time Prison Chaplaincy position with the government of Ontario. From there I came back to New York State to serve as a Chaplain for New York State government (corrections). Since retiring I have been ministering as pastor and teacher at a small congregation of wonderful people (Java Village Baptist Church).

We Believe in salvation of the soul through repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

We Believe in the Baptism of the Holy Spirit with supernatural evidences.

We Believe in baptism in water in the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ.

We Believe in Bible prophecy literally being fulfilled and that we are now in the last days of history and the Church.

We Believe all the Bible says is true and beneficial for living a successful and fulfilling life of service that is pleasing to God and benefitting others.

We are pleased and blessed to have Evangelist Michael Abana from Africa join in our ministry. Michael is an effective Assemblies of God trained evangelist praying the prayer of faith and seeing results.To God be the Glory.
