Our Family Is Growing!

The Lord blessed us this March with a beautiful new daughter-in-law, Stephanie Kahn Sims! Nathaniel and Stephanie reside in Orlando, FL and are currently on staff at Resound Missions Base.

STEPHANIE SIMS is the Assistant Director of Resound Missions Base, oversees Resound Summer Sessions, and Outreach Orlando. She grew up in church most of her life and served in various ministries for several years, yet she felt that there was more to God than she was experiencing and living. God answered the cry of her heart for more of Him. After graduating from University in the Philippines, she came to America on what would turn out to be the best adventure of her life. It was here that she attended Resound School of Ministry and found what she was looking for a deeper relationship with God and a life set on fire. After graduation from Resound School, Stephanie joined Resound’s full-time staff. Stephanie is committed to raising up those who are called to faithfully minister to the Lord through prayer, community, studying the word and outreach.

Cuba Today!

In 2013, God placed a passion in my heart for the church in Cuba. My desire was to assist them in the building of their churches as the Holy Spirit empowers them to reach the lost. It’s been an amazing phenomena that cannot be explained in human terms, yet it is happening. In April the Confidence in God Church in Havana Cuba will have a public dedication. This has been a 15 year work in progress, from permits to building.

Joe Crew writes. . . Even though the building is not 100% complete, Pastor Moises had this service on Sunday evening, December 28th, in the Confidence in God Church, Havana, Cuba. Over 800 from around the community were in attendance with 60 conversions. Praise The Lord!

Thanks to the dedication of the church in Cuba, the partnership of US teams, and generous donations, a miracle has taken place! What a privilege to be a part of this historic making project! To God be all the glory!
