​Over the years, the Lord has spoken to us about traveling to eastern Europe. In 2013, we attended the Holy Spirit Conference in Yalova, Turkey. We also attended the conference in 2014 and 2015. Since then, we have had ministry opportunities continue to open. In 2014 a new door opened to Slovenia. All three of us have made several trips to Slovenia each year since.

​We officially launched Beloved International on January 1, 2015.
​Our mission is to assist pastors and encourage believers.

Florida and the U.S.

Traveling is our main calling. Since 2013 God has been increasing our travels. Going from church to church, we encourage believers and help strengthen ministries. It's always exciting to bring a fresh revelation of God's love everywhere we go.

When home in Florida, we join the radio broadcast, "Ask the Preacher", which airs every Friday from 5-6 pm on WLKF 1430AM/96.7FM. Pastor Wayne Friedt leads the broadcast. Both of us are co-hosts on the live call-in talk show.

We are also advisory staff at Believers' Fellowship in Lakeland, FL and Faith Family Outreach Church in Clearwater, FL. We assist with Sunday services, providing teachings on love, finances, healing, faith, grace, righteousness, prayer, and worship.

Slovenia

2003 was the year we led an emphasis on praying for the nations, specifically the unevangelized countries. God arranged for Dan to pray over the country of Slovenia. Over the next 10 years, the desire grew to one day visit Slovenia.

​We decided to visit Slovenia on our way to Turkey in 2014. Dan found a contact through the internet and everything was arranged for a four-day visit. Those four days planted a love for Slovenia in our hearts.

​We now have resident permits for Slovenia. Currently we are working with 7 churches, 5 home groups, and numerous pastors and leaders to build up the churches.

​Our projects include continued support of the churches and home group leaders through teaching and financial assistance. Book translating and printing is ongoing and are developing an online Bible training program in the Slovenian language.

Serbia

Our ministry in Serbia began in 2017. We were invited to minister at a church in Novi Sad that Spring. We returned later that year and twice more in 2018. 

Since then we have spent even more time each year in Serbia. Every trip brings new friendships at new churches. We have fallen in love with the people. Their sincere desire to know God is infectious.

​We continue to work with the churches, establishing relationships, and helping to train believers. Our goal is to increase financial support for the pastors and translators.

Turkey

Our first trip to Turkey was in 2002, nine months after the 9/11 attack. On that trip to Istanbul, we worked closely with Larry and Kay Mills, missionaries to Turkey from the US. We have known the Mills since 1992. We also met Corey and Rose Erman, the pastors of River Istanbul Church.

​We have been back to Turkey 6 times since 2002. Each time we were ministering with Larry and Kay at their Holy Spirit Conference.

​Like much of eastern Europe, there are very few Christians. It is exciting to play a part in reaching the lost and training the saints in these unreached nations.
