• Carpenter Family
  We support Robert and Dr. Priscilla Carpenter serving in a South Asian country. The Carpenters serve in a rural area through the means of a hospital ministry, which serves the needs of women and children up to age five. While Robert cares for the family needs (3 children--Wesley, Caleb, and Rebecca) as well as maintenance needs at the hospital, Priscilla serves the ladies and children who come for medical care each day.

  Many in this area live in poverty, both physically and spiritually. Good medical care is often lacking and is not affordable to the poor and as such they appreciate the ability to receive proper medical care at concessionary rates. Spiritual needs are also addressed as prayers for healing are offered in the name of Jesus, the gospel message is shared with those who desire to listen, and literature is given to those who desire to know more about the Saviour.

  Please pray that those who come in contact with this ministry would understand all that God has done for them in Jesus. Pray also for God's protection of the Carpenter's and those that serve together with them

  • I am going with Royal Servants on the Timothy team, which serves in Israel and Europe! I am going because I believe this is where God is leading me to serve this summer. I am excited to serve the Jewish and Muslim people and see what kind of divine opportunities God provides for my team to share His love with those who don't know him. I am also looking forward to learning and studying more about leadership and evangelism while jumping outside of my comfort zone and learning to trust God more and more.
    See you later! -Melissa
  • I am going on the EuroQuest team this year with Royal Servants! I am going to Europe because I feel like God wants me to minister to the people who don't know Christ as their Savior and to disciple the younger girls on my team. I am so excited to be used by God in another country and cannot wait to meet up with my team and really prepare for what God has planned for not only us, but the people in Europe as well! -AMY
  
  Melissa Knowlton Amy Meaden, Rachel Tweet, and Brent Farmer served with Royal servants for the summer of 2005. They went out to Israel, Romania, Greece/Turkey, and served at Training camp.
  Here are a couple testimonials of those that went:
  • Oh the experiences you will have with RS!! If you go on any RS team you will learn so much about yourself and God i.e. where you need to grow, what you need to give to God. And that you are able to share Gods love with a complete stranger, and people you know back home. They will Teach you, Equip you, Send you, and you will never experience any thing like it in your LIFE. And if God wants you to go HE WILL supply ALL your needs.
    -Brent Farmer
  • Last year I went with Royal Servants to Romania for the summer, and Wow! How my life was impacted!!! My experience cannot even be expressed in words. The culture is so simple and quiet, you really can't explain it. You just have to go there to be able to understand it. God challenged me to a HUGE challenge. That challenge was to cling on to Him for my every bit of strength. He took my heart and started to mold it to be like His. And as of today, He still is molding me to be like Him. So if you go on Royal Servants your gonna grow!!! And most of all, you will get to share Jesus with people that don't know Him.
    In Him, Amy Meaden
