Lord of all creation - I come to You now in the name of this Jesus I have heard about. I was born into a sinful world and have lived in ignorance and rebellion to Your truth. Jesus, I accept You as God manifested in the flesh, born as an offering for my sins. Born to pay the price I am unable to pay - the price required for restored fellowship with my Creator.
I am sorry for all my sins and turn away from them. Please forgive me and make me a vessel fit for Your use. I release any bitterness or unforgiveness in my heart and ask You to deal with those situations. I believe You were born of a virgin, died on the cross, rose from the dead on the third day, ascended into heaven and are now sitting at the right hand of the Father, making intercession for me.
You are now Lord of my life.
JESUS IS COMING SOON! HOW SHALL WE ESCAPE IF WE NEGLECT SO GREAT A SALVATION?
Confess Jesus before men and He will confess you before the Father.
Take me home now please.
It has been my great honor and privilege to serve as administrator of the World Outreach Ministry for my good friend Paula Rayburn. We give all the glory to our precious Lord Jesus Christ. Our purpose is to please Him.

WORLD OUTREACH
- Praise God for what He has been doing in this phase of the ministry. We realized when we established a website that people all around the world would be writing in for prayer. Our minds did not yet comprehend what God might have planned for us.
We have long wanted to share details and pictures of how the Lord is moving in this outreach. We believe the new website enables us to do just that.
OTHER DOORS . . .
There are other ministries we are in contact with. They are ministering the Gospel of our Lord and remain in our prayers.
Though we have not begun any financial support for them, as always, we remain open to what the Lord would have us do. If communication continues and we come to know each other better . . . perhaps . . . God knows. -
Administrator's Testimony
- About Linda Jennings
Unfortunately, I have been in and out of Jesus most of my life. If I had "stayed in", I would have definitely saved myself much heartache. I suppose it wasn't until 1982 that my lasting commitment began.
I have tried to live my personal witness but never really felt myself "called into ministry". It wasn't until 1999 when my dear friend Paula was led to form the "Ministry of Prayer" -- and somehow she just kind of dragged me along. I didn't even consent to be on the board for several years -- even though I helped her in every way I could.
I have always been kind of a passenger on the bus instead of the driver. Behind-the-scenes is where I feel most useful. I maintain her websites, do the newsletter, graphics and printing needs. I have been in the printing industry all my life.
If there are any rewards to be had for my portion, they certainly belong to Paula. And if there is ever any glory, I gladly pass it all up to Jesus. Every time I consider His most precious gift it overwhelms me and tears flow freely. Paula has always said I was a worshiper. -
Father and Daughter Team
- Our first venture into this area was in early 2006 when a father and daughter team in India contacted us. After getting to know each other better, we began providing some support for their ministries.
These included a Church, Christian coffee shop, Bible Institute and ministry to the poor and needy. This support continued until late in 2010 when the enemy began to sow seeds of discord. A number of reasons contributed to the fact that our association with them was discontinued.
We know they have done much good work among their fellow brethren. They have a heart for ministering to the most poor and needy and we are confident that work continues on.
Ravi and Hannah will always hold them and their work in our hearts and they are remembered in our prayers. -
All Souls Ministries
- Late in 2007 we were contacted by Pastor Emeka in Nigeria. His humble request was simply for some Christian study materials to help him better minister to his small congregation.
In addition to prayer, we receive numerous requests for money and materials. Although prayer is always given, other requests are most often laid on the altar until God leads otherwise.
It wasn't until mid-2009 that the Lord brought them back to our remembrance and we contacted them again. Our communication has since grown and flourished and a great love and bond has since been established.
They have been officially recognized as our Companion Ministry. Tentative plans are in the works for people from our area to visit them in Nigeria and partake in some of their mission outreaches.
We have more to say about All Souls Ministries in the Nigeria section. -
Evangelist at Large
- Pastor Wario first contacted us in late 2009. His greatest concern was for his family and their care as he ministered the Word of God. The Spirit quickened to us the sincerity of his desires and needs.
We have since built them a home and they are now moved in. Ministry of Prayer is pleased to have been able to do this for them and they are most appreciative.
There remains a need to acquire electricity. It is not available in the area of their home and they are praying for a solar means of electricity. A drought has also prevailed for many months. His current prayer is for a cistern to be built so they may have a means to capture rain for their needs. Our prayers are certainly with them that God will furnish all their needs.
Wario is from the Moyale district of Northern Kenya and serves among the Boran speaking people. Boran communities inhabit Northern Kenya and Southern part of Ethiopia and lag behind in evangelism. In addition to speaking and mission work, he has a tape ministry which is proving to be very effective.
We currently fund frequent mission trips in both Kenya and across the border into Ethiopia. Though the muslim influence is not great in some areas, idol worship and demonic practices are.
Our feeding program there is currently supplementing the support for nine families. Pastor Wario has prayerfully selected families that are in desperate need. In addition to the monthly feeding, we also send each family on a shopping trip for clothes. Some are Christian - some are muslim - all are in need.
When we asked Pastor Wario if they built the mud huts themselves, he responded, “People do build for themselves and if not well thatched with grass or the roof covered with a polythene sheet, it will pour rain. I remember very well in my childhood our mud hut leaking rain and we covered ourselves with animal skin to avoid getting wet. When I see people living in mud huts, from my own experience, I know what it means.” -
Gekomu Fellowship
We were first introduced to Pastor Ezekiel Misati in 2016. They are located in Kisii, Mwamosioma Village in Kenya.
Through a series of communications with them, the Holy Spirit led us to believe they were a reliable ministry to aid with support. We lean on the Spirit to know what should happen in the future.

Wario Gagalo
Wario's family converted to the Christian faith when he was 6 years old. He went to mission and secondary school as he was active in the church. Unfortunately they did not preach against many of the evil practices the world engages in. Then one day (much like Paul's Damascus experience) he was walking along and reading the Bible. The scriptures came alive to him about forsaking the ways of the world - the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. That day changed his life as he pledged to serve and live for God. He has since obtained a Higher Diploma in theology and married his wife Daki in 2005. They currently have two children and are expecting a third.
Daki Gagalo
Daki was born in a Christian family but only began to understand the truth and reality of Jesus Christ during secondary school when she joined a Christian Union. She calls this the time when her life was totally changed, as she listened to preachers share the truth of the Word of God. She discovered the wonderful "secret" of prayer and how God responded (even to getter better grades). She graduated from college with no outstanding fees by God's grace and provisions. She is now employed at Somare Primary School. It was even prayer that brought a God-fearing man to be her mate, Pastor Wario.

Pastor - Ezekiel Misati Ongoko
Pastor Ezekiel first contacted us in 2016. We were impressed with his sincere desire to serve our Lord and do the work of His ministry.
His congregation is a close knit group of people. Though they all share in taking care of the orphan children, a majority of the support has to come from the church.
Although the most of their ministry is to the local congregation, they love to do evangelistic outreaches when opportunity arises.
We have built several structures, along with assisting in meeting much of their daily needs.-

Ezekiel Misita
God called me when I was 15 years old. I was in the traditional African churches and did not know anything in the bible. I started to pray, asking God if He truly has His church in this world.
Then one day I had dream that I was taking bath at the lake and I saw that it was likely to rain. By the time it was raining and the dark cloud was covering the earth, I started praying to God and asking God to help me come out of that place. I saw a big white dove coming out of heaven and going into all corners of the earth.
I prayed and when I woke up, I found myself thanking God for putting me in His church. Reaching 1990, I was baptized. In the year 2005 I was ordained as pastor. I was called to start my ministry which I answered. Since then I have been ministering.
I am a carpenter by trade and do some farming to meet family needs. Glory to God.-

All Souls Ministry
- UPDATE: We are sorry to announce that our dear brother Emeka has gone to be with our Lord. He was taken from us suddenly with a heart attack after a crusade meeting. This happened a while back but our hearts were too saddened to make any public announcements. After some time and prayer we have decided to leave all the information contained in the Nigeria link as a testament to his life's work and dedication. We feel blessed to have known him in this life and to have been allowed to contribute and watch him and his ministry grow. Until we all meet again in the age of the glory of our Lord Jesus.
--------------------
You can see here the humble beginnings when we were first contacted by Emeka. He was in an old bamboo church with a small congregation (and I think most of them were his own children). But he was strong in faith and in the God who had called him into service. I know he did not look at the things that were but at the vision of what God was showing him they would be.
His sincere actions and friendly manner even prompted a muslim family to donate land for his church. That says a lot about the esteem he is held in.
We have now built a church for him. It is growing daily as the Spirit increases.
Ere - We have obtained two outposts in remote areas. Our first venture was into the village of Ere where we purchased 1 acre of land. The first endeavor there was to build a well so they would not have to continue to drink contaminated water from the river. We have a large mission house there. Just recently (early 2012), we have put most of the finishing touches on the building. Some plastering and painting remains to be done. In additional to our frequent uses for various ministries and night vigils, we see this as being an ideal place for interdenominational retreats and crusades. Accommodations are offered for free. Our only desire is to see the body of Christ come together and the name of our Lord Jesus lifted up.
Apamu - We have also acquired 1 plot of land in the village of Apamu. There also, our first project was to dig a well for the villagers. We have also completed a small mission house where a permanent teacher (Pastor Aloy, his wife and 2 children) will live to instruct and assist the people.
Crusades have already been held in both areas. The people love them and very much look forward to them. People are continually being saved, delivered and set free by the power of God.
There are also frequent trips to various villages in the area. When finances allow, we try to provide occasional food provisions for the children and widows. Fanji is one of the places frequented. It was our desire to establish a mission house there also but the price of land prohibited it. We love to buy land and build wells for the people. There have already been deaths in Fanji from poor water quality. We continue to pray for them and all the other villages - many still bound in idol worship and dark arts.
Pastor Emeka is very bold in fighting the forces of evil. When discussion began about purchasing the Apamu land, he was told the land was adjacent to the "evil forest". His reply was that he would take it because he was not afraid of the devil. "We believe those who come to do sacrifice there will one day hear our voice and repent - or our prayers will reach out and touch them"
We have recently purchased a motorbike to assist Emeka to travel the surrounding areas. Our prayer is that one day there will be finances to purchase a small bus for them. This would enable more of the home congregation to go down to the outposts and also enable a source of transportation to bring villagers to the crusades. -

Pastor Emeka Ately
Emeka is the last born of 9 children. His father was an idol worshipper and his mother a luke-warm Christian. In 1979 he gave his life to Jesus and began to suffer persecution from family and friends - even to denying him extended education. In 1993 he married Augustina. They now have 6 children - 2 boys and 4 girls, which all love the Lord. In 1996 Emeka felt God calling him deeper into ministry. He enrolled in Samuel Bible Institute and was ordained a pastor in 1999. In 2000 he founded All Souls Ministries. His character and behavior has also granted him favor among many Muslims. Because of the love they both have for children, they also started an orphanage.
Augustina Ately
Augustina's parents never knew or wanted to know about Jesus. Her mother worshipped a vodoo spirit called "Igbe". Augustina was lead to Christ by a neighbor. In 1993 she married Emeka and they now have 6 children - 2 boys and 4 girls. Their union and the witness they live has brought repentance into the lives of her parents. Her mother is now a preacher of the gospel. Augustina is very active in the church and mission work of All Souls Ministries. She is also busy with the children of the orphanage. Wherever she goes into all the mission fields, children flock to her. I always call her "Mother Sarah".

INDIA - Bangalore
- India is characterized by features of various ruling dynasties as well as constant and stubborn invasion by the foreigners. Since Independence, India officially adopted its own constitution on 26th January, 1950 (Republic Day). At present, the country's economic as well as social changes are not dependent on any foreign power.

Evangelists - Ravi and Hannah
- Ravi comes from a Hindu family (Brahmin at that). After some difficult situations, I went on a search and found peace and hope in the Bible. I come to believe in Jesus and want to serve Him the rest of my life.
I came to faith in Jesus through my father. My vision is to reach out to the ones who are far out there. God talks about how he deliberately chose what in the world is lowborn and insignificant and branded and treated with contempt, even the things that are nothing. That describes many of the people of India. I want to reach the prostitutes and abused. I want to bring them the hopeI have.

Pastor Parish Holder
- My name is Paresh Holder. I was born in HINDU family. There weren’t any Churches or Christans, so I didn’t learn about Jesus Christ. My life was in darkness and hopeless. It was useless and tired; without a future. It was on July 20th in 1998.
I remember how I was listening to the radio and hear the word God. It was Matthew 11:28 that spoke to me. Come to me, all of you who are tired from carrying heavy loads, and I will give you rest. Really, I felt rest. Jesus talked with me. I knew I was a sinner. My prayer, “Oh God please forgive me and receive me in your kingdom. I believe Jesus is only Savior.” Acts 4:12. I gave my life to Jesus. Jesus gave His love. From that time on, I am His. Every day I am growing in Jesus and his love; knowing the truth of His Word.
God continued to bless and I continued to serve. The blessings continued. I decided to earn my Bachelor of Theology (B.Th) . It was a 3 year course in Hindi from Allahabad Bible seminary.
I got married on October 18th, 2007. My wife name is named Arnika (Khushi). She also studied for Double M.com and Theology Collage and took a computer course.
We have one baby boy. His name is Joshua. One year old.
