 Seale and Marcia Price
harvestingsouls.org
Seale and Marcia Price are great examples of those who have decided not to retire but to “refire”. In 1997, while they were both in their 50’s, they founded a non-profit organization to help the people of Venezuela. They established a headquarters in Venezuela in 1998, where they had ministers going to five different areas in the mountains on a weekly basis, sharing the Gospel with the people in each of those areas.
In January 2000, they moved to Venezuela to start a Bible School in Villa del Rosario. Once the Bible School was established and the nationals began graduating, they expanded the ministry. In 2005, they started their first Bible School in Colombia. The graduates of the Bible Schools in Venezuela did most of the teaching in Colombia until the Columbian nationals completed their training, and additional teachers were raised up in that nation.

Mike Croslow is a passionate advocate for world missions and a veteran missionary having served 20 years on the field in East Africa. As founder of Abundant Life Ministries in Uganda, he focused on church planting, ministers training, and childrens ministry, primarily among the Busoga and Iteso tribes. Now fully indigenous and under African leadership, Abundant Life Ministries has become a church-planting movement with over 40 churches in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya.
After moving back to the States in 2000, Mike served as International Director for Agape Missionary Alliance. In 2003 he helped found and establish Harvest Churches International (HCI), and served for three years as Executive Director and then as Coordinator for World Missions. During this eight year period he helped raise over five million dollars for local church missions outreach. Mike currently serves as Africa Director for HCI, building a network of churches and ministers across East And Central Africa.
Mike is currently in the process of launching a bold new initiative that will provide opportunites for Africans trapped in poverty to receive assistance in the form of small business loans. Known as microfinance, this approach gives the poor a "hand-up" as opposed to a "hand-out", and creates lasting and sustainable change in their lives. After months of research, study and consultation with leading microfinance experts in several nations, Mike and his wife Vail, will be moving to Kampala, Uganda the first quarter of 2009 to start microfinance operations and build a model that can be replicated in other nations.

Shanda, our baby girl, Audrey, and I are set to start traveling again to finish raising our support to return to Berlin, Germany. We are looking forward to seeing friends and sharing our vision with local churches as we begin our trek around the southeast and midwest United States.
As we open the paper or tune into the news and hear of the possibility of a recession, it is encouraging to see that the generosity of the godly has not diminished! Throughout modern history, the church is known for their willingness to give and sacrifice to help others.
We have seen that recently with the hurricanes that have reeked havoc in the Gulf of Mexico. Even in the devastating tsunami of Indonesia, it was the Church of Jesus that stepped up to the plate to offer all the assistance we could to help those in need.
Now there is a new need in the world. It isn't the voice of hurricane victims or tsunami survivors but the voice of the lost of Europe. The educated indifference of millions of souls that don't know Jesus but are still crying out for something to fill the voice in their lives. With 90 million people and only 2% of them Christian, it isn't hard to see that Germany has turned its back on God.
