The Holy Land needs Yeshua ha Mashiach! David and Victoria Walker are strategically placed in Jerusalem, living with their three young children in the land where Yeshua – Jesus Christ walked – and is “still walking.” Their passion is to teach the Scriptures not only in Israel but throughout the world. David was a tour guide, completing a rigorous two-year course under the auspices of the Israel Ministry of Tourism and continues online biblical studies. Victoria, having graduated with a degree in Theology (emphasis on Hebrew, Greek and the study of the Dead Sea scrolls), also has a heart for womens’ ministry. The Walkers combine their knowledge of the Scriptures in the original languages, and familiarity with the region where they were written, to effectively communicate the truth of the Scriptures. Their desire is to see more Messianic congregations who follow Yeshua established in Israel. Locally, they are involved in distributing Bibles to multi-lingual Messianic congregations, as well as teaching in their very own congregation.
Partnering with the Walkers will allow them to minister full time in Israel. Please support them both in prayer and finances. Here are varied ways as to send support to the Walkers:

As a missionary kid growing up in Japan, Zach always knew he would return some day to serve on the mission field he calls home. Having forged a three-party agreement between GLINTS, Japan Baptist Fellowship and Zach, the first year of service will also include language study, re-establishing old relationships as well as building new ones, and church planting. Lord willing, he hopes to be able to continue to serve in Japan long-term.
Zach graduated from Redeemer University College in Hamilton, Ontario majoring in Religion/Theology and Psychology. During college and since graduation he has pursued his love for working with his hands through a wide variety of construction and maintenance jobs and volunteer work. Some of the organizations Zach was involved with include 541 Eatery and Exchange, Helping Hands, Dismas, Indwell, and his home church in Canada.
As a new global staffer of GLINTS, Zach is looking to build his base of prayer and financial support. You may send your donations by:

The world is Lynette’s stage. As a daughter of American missionaries, she was born in Kathmandu, Nepal, grew up in Tucumán, Argentina and did her undergraduate education at the University of Oregon (BA Political Science 1995). Because of her cross-cultural upbringing, she has a good command of both English and Spanish.
Sensing God’s call to missionary service, she moved to Montevideo, Uruguay in 2004, ministering alongside her parents as a church planter on La Rambla. This experience gave her the opportunity to grow in the areas of disciple-making, teaching the Bible and witnessing, introducing secular and atheistic Montevideños to Jesus.
Lynette loves the people of Uruguay. In her next season of service, she will be partnering with GLINTS, returning to Montevideo in September to student ministry with Comunidad Bíblica Universitaria (IVCF/IFES), community outreach to her neighbors, and her home church (Rey de Paz ) as a disciple-maker.
GLINTS is grateful for this opportunity to partner with Lynette in reaching the least churched country in the Americas for Christ. Your prayers and financial support are vital to her quick return and effectiveness as a minister of the Gospel.

Stephen and Erika are embarking on a life journey towards serving long-term in Japan. Their decision has been confirmed through life experiences (short term trips to Japan and Japan-focused conferences) and the counsel of godly mentors.
As GLINTS associate global staff, Stephen’s primary assignment will be ministering to Japanese who have registered to learn English as a second language. He will serve full time as an instructor for a year. Stephen and Erika’s long term vision is to raise disciples in Japan through workplace ministries (Stephen) and women’s and orphan ministries (Erika).
The Crofts obtained bachelor’s degrees from Biola University- Stephen in Intercultural Studies, Erika in Psychology.
Stephen and Erika are excitedly looking forward to leaving for Japan in July and are looking for churches, families and individuals to support them as they embark on this journey into full-time cross-cultural ministry overseas, following the Lord in obedience.

Ruben and Simona Crisan both grew up in Christian families in Romania. They separately found their way to the United States with Ruben and his family moving when he was 8 years old and Simona migrating by herself when she was 22 through a visa lottery.
Both of them also grew up with a love for music and travel, and have used their talents to serve God in the local church, as well as by participating in multiple short term missions trips.
Sensing that God is calling them to international, cross-cultural ministry in the future, Ruben and Simona began attending Levi Velasco’s (GLINTS founder) missionary prep program (MPP) class at the Moody Church in 2013. Their desire to serve as a couple in short term missions led them to take the Global Ministry Assessment Course (GMAC) of GLINTS in March 2017.
The Crisans have sought opportunities to serve in areas of the world where there are great needs, especially in influencing the younger generation, the world’s future leaders. In April 2019, they will join the Japan Baptist Fellowship’s (JBF) annual missionary retreat at the Okutama Evangelin House in the western edge of Tokyo. They will meet with GLINTS global staff and other missionaries under JBF’s leadership in hopes of discerning the Lord’s will regarding future ministry service in Japan.
You can participate in the Crisans’ ministry by praying for them and giving financially. They will need a back-up team here in the U.S. to be effective servants of the Lord as they respond in obedience to the Lord! Here’s how to give:

Mel has been engaged in Great Commission work for most of her adult life. Healthcare, education, mentoring and church planting have kept Mel busy for 36 years. After graduating from Moody Bible Institute in 1987, she and her family worked among the Yao people of Malawi. Her current involvements include teaching English to refugees, being an online missionary and coaching missionary candidates. She initiated and helped produce the Jesus Film in her native language, Ivatan, and traveled to Batanes Island, Philippines where it was shown last year.
Her passion to reach the Ivatans in Batanes Island for Christ continues to grow. She’s taking the next step in her missionary journey to develop discipleship training programs using the Jesus Film as a springboard. Mel envisions raising an army of trained Ivatans to carry the torch of Christ for generations to come.
Pray for Mel as she embarks on this God-sized vision. You may give towards her ministry by:

“Sports is a language the Japanese understand,” concluded Charles after outreach events in Japan during the World Cup in 2002. Having served in Japan since 1999, Charles and Anne Marie Smoker refocused their ministry, leveraging Charles’ passion of combining evangelism and sports to reach the Japanese for Christ. During some days, Charles spends time in the classroom of a local Japanese pre-school, middle and high school where he engages the youth with English conversation and/or sports, developing relationships in the local community.
