Praise God for the young men and women willing to spend their summer to go and proclaim the Gospel to the boys and girls in Pennsylvania!
We leave tomorrow morning for CEF of PA CYIA training. It will be great to get together with the PA team, see the returning summer missionaries and meet new ones! We’re especially thankful for Amy and Christopher who will be serving with Schuylkill County this summer and are taking part in the training.
Pray as Brent gives the chapel message on Monday and that he will be a great help wherever needed. Pray for Amy and Christopher to be diligent in their studies and practicals.

New from the Fields – May 2022
The Senior class spoke about what the Lord has taught them…
God is so good!
We truly want to thank you for supporting our family as we live and serve here among these students and this Senior class. We are so honored to be up close to watch the Lord in the lives of these students. The Seniors recently spoke of some of what the Lord taught them in their two years here. (photos below)
18 days until Graduation!
Please pray for our Seniors:
- Some are already being sent by their church to start missionary training this Fall.
- Some are returning to their sending church to build relationships before being sent by them to missionary training.
- All of them know God’s heart for the world and are ready to continue to be His light to the world as He leads them to their next step.
God has done amazing work in their lives in two short years. It is absolutely incredible to watch their growth and to be a small part of their lives here at Bible school. If you know of anyone who would be interested in Bible School, send them our way. Click the blue button below for more information.
The Senior class raised funds for sending one of our staff couples to serve overseas. They asked Dave to recreate his timeline from one of his classes, and they put it on shirts to sell. That was super special!!
Thank you for partnering with us financially every single month so that we can have this amazing opportunity!
Thank you for praying, loving and supporting our family,
Dave, Kim, Reece & Clark Field

The Lenz’ – March 2022
Joe and his family. Their baby girl was born around New Years 2022
Holy Smokes…
Several years ago, due to some most unfortunate circumstances, an outreach was started with a group of about 13 people. Among these were Jo and his wife Airen. Jo was quite rough around the edges. Admittedly, he spent a lot of his time gambling at the local village markets and most of their money was spent on drugs and alcohol. Airen, on the other hand, was a very religious woman. Though she knew about God and had heard about Christ, she didn’t know Christ nor what he had to do with her salvation.
When Airen would read her trade-language Bible at home, Joe would get angry with her and yell at her to stop reading it or would sometimes throw the Bible across the house. One day he recounted how he would even take pages out of his wife’s Bible and use them to roll tobacco into his own smokes. He would do this just to goad her for being religious.
Through the teaching of His Word, both Jo and Airen became believers. Over time, our wives discipled Airen into becoming a Sunday school teacher and Jo had the desire to become a Bible teacher and continue to share the message of Christ with others. Unfortunately, though, Jo got tangled up in some of the things of his past and his commitment to proclaiming the message of salvation fell to the wayside. For the last 2 ½ years, our friend has battled some pretty serious illnesses and in mid-January, was told that he had a month, at most, to live. When we visited him around New Years, Jo told Robyn and me that he hasn’t abandon God’s Word, but that he would gather his family in the evenings and read his Bible, in his own language, to them. He said that he had given his life as an offering to God and whether God chose to heal him or allow the sickness to take his life, that was okay with him. One-by-one over his last weeks on this earth, Jo called his friends and family members into his house to settle any unresolved issues between them; both requesting and giving forgiveness. His mom told me the other day, as I went and sat with the family for a bit, that he had a notebook whose pages were filled with Scripture verses he’d copy down as he spent time reading his Bible over the last couple years. From rolling the pages of the Scriptures into Holy smokes…to copying them in a notebook…to seeing the Author face-to-face.
In the last week of his life, Jo said he had a dream in which he was in a garden full of beautiful flowers. Someone called out to him and asked, “Are you teaching Kos 1 (the Creation-to-Christ Bible lessons) to your children? Go back and teach it to your children.” After the dream, Jo told Airen that she had to teach God’s Word to their children. He knew he didn’t have enough time left to do so himself, but he knew it needed to be done!
Friend, whatever it is that stands between you and your friend/family member, don’t wait until the end to make it right. Offer your lives to Christ as a sacrifice now (Romans 12:1) and work diligently now to freely share the love of Christ with others while you still have the breath to do so. Please pray for Airen as she teaches her young children the Word of God. Pray for her as she lives the hard life of a widow in a hard culture. Pray for the church to learn how to care for the widows.
You Prayed and God Provided…
We have reached the full amount of funds needed to purchase a vehicle for the ministry here! We have even had some who have personally taken it on to provide a bit extra to get it outfitted with a turbo to help it climb the mountains better. It has been an amazing faith-grower to see God work in this awesome way. We really feel that “Thank You” is inadequate to express our gratitude for your part in praying with us about this need and your sacrificial giving toward it. You all make up an awesome team and we’re thankful for your part in this work. Our vehicle has been ordered and now we wait. We were initially told that it should be here by late-March, now we’ve been told that vehicle shortages are causing a 7-8 month delay. God raised the funds in remarkable timing, so I can trust that he’ll provide the physical vehicle in his timing as well.
Thank you again for your selfless support, prayers, and encouragement to our family in this ministry.
Your Co-workers in Christ,
Levi, Robyn, Michael, Daniel, Matthew, and Krystiana Lenz
Grace Covenent Ministry – 2021 in Review
Grace Covenant Ministries – Tommy Miracle
Our goal each year is to impact our community with the redeeming love of Jesus Christ. Our role is to facilitate and arrange projects for each partnering organization. We come alongside each group with needed skills to ensure each project gets done to the best benefit of those receiving the work.
Blessings of 2021
We were able to complete a community fitness center with the help of our partners this year. It has been a dream of ours to provide this much needed facility for several years. With the financial help of our supporters and their voluntary time, we were able to complete it and open at the close of this past year.
Challenges of 2021
COVID-19 continues to be a burden not only to us, but around the world. Due to COVID-19, the availability of our partners’ participation was greatly diminished. Without hands and feet on the ground, several of our projects couldn’t be completed.
Hopes for 2022
We are certainly looking forward to things returning to normal, if that is possible. Our summer schedule is already booked to almost capacity. We have several much-needed projects that will be addressed this year. Our goal is to share Christ’s love with all.
How We Can Pray
We would ask that you continue to pray for us in the areas of guidance and stewardship.
Additional Needs
Money is always needed to take on the projects we do each year but, ultimately, we desire to help others see the glory of our Lord.
Thank you
Even with so many complications and barriers, our work has plodded on. The faithfulness of our supporters has been nothing short of a miracle. The families that have received our help have been very blessed with each gift they’ve received.
The Field’s – February 2022
Only one life, ’twill soon be past, Only what’s done for Christ will last.
What a wonderful missions emphasis week we just had here at Bible School!
It’s no small thing when 200 young people hear and understand about God’s heart for the world and for those who have never had the chance to hear the good news…ever!
“Plan like you are going, until God tells you to stay.”
“Be involved in God’s whole reason we are here on earth…to bring Him glory and make His name known throughout the world.”
“Go, or help send those who are going, and take opportunities wherever you are.”
Please pray for our students as they consider everything they heard this week and offer their lives up to the Lord. He is worth it!
We have a campus visit weekend in one week! We have 36 visitors registered and we are praying and trusting the Lord to bring in 50 visitors! We want them to see what the Lord is doing here. We want them to hear God’s heart for the world through all the classes they will sit in on and through the amazing community of students here.
“If we are so amazed at what God has done for me, let’s share it with someone else!”
We are so very thankful to partner alongside you as HE advances HIS Kingdom!

Devote yourselves to prayer with an alert mind and a thankful heart. Col. 4:2
