  and well loved by the true worshiping Jews of
  Israel. But He was hated by the Gentile
  controlled, apostate priesthood and religious
  leaders. The two could not co-exist in
  Israelthus, His crucifixion.

Committed and Going Strong

• After pastoring for nearly 50 years, our
  Servant/Director, Bob Ross, was called in August
  04 to leave the Prairie Creek Baptist pulpit in
  Plano, TX, to minister full-time and help enhance
  the mission work that he and his church had
  developed over 29 years. Involving Christians in
  hands on mission opportunities is his heart
  desire.
• God has given Bob a deep love for Israel, Gods
  Land, the Jewish people, and most of allthe
  Jewishness of our Lord Jesus.
• He sees Christians come alive when they
  experience Israel and meet the Jewish Jesus.
  Lives change when folks leave their old
  traditional existence for new life in
  Christ. The encounter brings renewed, and
  exciting Biblical study, and challenges to one to
  walk daily with the Living Lord Jesus. Lives are
  changed!

  Anchorage.

  pastoriums, and schools inJuneau, Ketchikan,
  Prince of Wales Island, Palmer, Anchorage,
  Soldotna, Seward, and Seldovia in Kenai.
• 25 missions teams in 38 years.

  lite, since many want to visit, see Alaska, and
  fish for salmon or halibut.
• Their mission trips are 8-10 days costing under
  2,000. per person.
• The construction teams work hard helping churches
  from
• 8 AM- 430 PM and then,
• Eat, relax, hike, or fish till mid-night.

MissionYucatan, and Beyond

• In 1989, Bob and Barb had planned to vacation in
  Cancun, but God spoke to their hearts about
  mission work in the Yucatan.
• God led, and they followed
• They began working with the First Baptist Church
  of Merida doing evangelism. Most trips, they
  would see 350 come to Jesus, through the Jesus
  Film in Spanish. But, there was little
  follow-up.
• So, they helped begin a seminary with First
  Baptist of Merida. Dr. Harlan Capps came as
  president in 96, with Faith Baptist Missions.
  We joined him in the ministry and vision for the
  Yucatan. In those early days, Prairie Creek,
  Plano, and Bob were the key participants in the
  seminary work.
• Small seminaries were planted in Merida,
  Campeche, Cancun, Vallodalid, Tobasco in Mexico,
  and Havana, Cuba.
• Ten years ago there were about 200 Evangelical
  churches in the Yucatan. Today there are over
  400 churches. Praise God!

MissionCommunist Romania

• Bob and Barbara arrived in Communist Bucharest,
  Romania 12 hours before Chernobyl blew up on
  April 26, 1986.
• In 86 they taught and preached in Bucharest,
  Caransebes, Timisoara, Arad and Oradea. Before
  the overthrow of Communism. They returned three
  more times to assist the suffering East Europe
  nation. Because of the threats and dangers, only
  five churches were ministering to Romania in
  those days.
• There were 2,100 Evangelical churches, with 140
  pastors, and an underground seminary. On return
  trips, Bob taught there, The School of the
  Prophets, in Timisoara, Arad, and Oradea.
• Thousands came to know Jesus. Churches were
  packed and the Communist did not know how to
  control the revival.
• Bob and Barb ministered with Second Baptist
  Church in those days. The church faced on-going
  Communist persecution, but experienced constant
  Revival.

10
Freedom in Romania

• Christmas Eve 1989 Nicolae Ceausescu was killed
  by his own people, and Romania became free for
  the first time in 40 years.
• God raised up Emanuel Baptist Church (from the
  brave Second Baptist Church) to build for 3,600
  people. They led in beginning the Emanuel Baptist
  Seminary and publishing company in Oradea. Today
  both church and seminary are the largest
  Evangelical ministries in all Europe. What a joy
  to have been a part of prayer and support for
  this ministry, during their days of struggle and
  hardship.
• When freedom camehundreds of American churches
  rushed to experience the Oradea revival. Being
  a pastor of a smaller church, Bob moved
  eastward, to assist a new work in Tirgu Mures,
  with Pastor Vasile Paul1994.
• Working with the mother church in Targu Mures,
  today 31 village missions and churches surround
  the city. Our ministry has helped to support
  this growing ministry for 15 years, building the
  mother church, village churches, and supporting
  pastors.

11
MissionBulgaria

• Under Bulgarian Communism, the United Churches of
  God, in Sofia became the umbrella for all the
  Evangelical work in the country. This work is
  led by Bishop Vasil Elenkov.
• We joined him in ministry in the fall of 06 and
  taught on the Jewishness of Jesus for his church,
  and seminary students. What an incredible
  adventure! Since then, our ministry has assisted
  that seminary in training pastors for Bulgaria,
  parts of Eastern Europe, Macedonia, and even
  Turkey (where Paul ministered).
• We will continue to support the seminary, and
  assist Evangelical churches begun by the
  graduates of the seminary.
• We invite you
• Come over into Macedonia and help us.

12
MissionSeminary Training inCommunist Cuba

• In February 04, our director went to Cuba, with
  the purpose of working with Christians on that
  Communist island.
• Bob works with two committed pastors, who have a
  vision for the entire island of Cuba, and beyond.
  Cuba is 400 miles long, and about 50 miles wide.
  It is home to 11 million (most of Catholic
  background), with an incredible hunger for the
  Gospel.
• He discovered an urgent need for formal training
  of pastors and missionaries (house church
  pastors). Bob encouraged Dr. Harlan Capps, to
  establish a Havana seminary, as an extension of
  the Faith Baptist seminary system.
• Today there are 51 students, and 14 professors in
  Havana plus, two eastern Cuba extensions. Three
  more are planned for 2009.
• Our ministry carries half the support of the
  seminary in Havana.
• In 4 years, 20 house churches have been started
  by students.

13
Medicine for Cuba

• Our ministry helps to support Bread of Life
  ministry, which is directed by a wonderful single
  lady, Eliana. She catalogues prescriptions, and
  medical needs for members of over 800 Cuban
  Evangelical churches, in her lap-top computer.
  We help collect medical supplies and medicines,
  which she distributes from her small apartment,
  by couriers, to all parts of Cuba. We assist
  her, and her medical work financially and take in
  medical supplies for distribution. Medical
  donations are most welcome.

Baptist Pastors and Missionaries Starting Cuban
House Churches

• We assist Pastor, Miguel Romero, who coordinates
  pastors and missionaries, for Baptist work
  throughout Cuba.
• In 2008 we helped support and train 40
  missionaries, and 10 area coordinator/leaders.
  These missionaries are beginning house churches
  in all parts of Cuba in 2009.
• With no consistent public transportation, these
  pastors often walk 5-10 miles, to minister to
  their house churches. Our ministry has sent in
  money for 20 bicycles (110. each).
• Note Most young pastors and missionaries have
  less than 10 per month income for their
  families, their church work, food, travel, and
  other needs. US/Cuba relationships only allows
  limited financial aid, but this we do.
• All seminary students in Havana, and Pinar del
  Rio are required to start house churches. God is
  moving in incredible ways.

15
Pure Water for Our World

• Working closely with Michael van Hoye (engineer
  and expert in water purification) we are
  developing systems both for homes, house
  churches, and systems for communities.
• We have taken over 400 home/house church systems
  into Cuba, and another 100 into the Yucatan.
• The cost of these water purifications is as
  follows
• 100 supplies 99 pure water, for 50 people
  daily, for 3 years.
• Translation one penny per week, for one person.
• What an incredible missions investment for
  Eternity!
• Michael van Hoye, with the University of Texas,
  Edinburg, is developing a new design in water
  filters for greater production. These new
  filters will be available in the spring of 2010,
  and will be available missions, and communities
  around the world.
