About Us

About Us:

Pastor John Paepke found Christ and was born again April 18, 1970 in an evening evangelistic meeting at a small church in Ravenna, Michigan. Pastor-Evangelist Paul Wilde gave a message on the crucifixion of Jesus, and how He suffered and died for us. During the alter call as everyone stood to their feet, John glanced up and Jesus, the Son of the living God, showed him every sin that he had ever committed in a matter of seconds.

Grabbing his wife by the hand, he raced for the alter. Brother Wilde reached out to touch him, John fell to the floor and every time he attempted to get up from the floor he would fall again. The Spirit of God had begun a miraculous change in his life.

Three days after his conversion, he begun ministering the gospel with signs and wonders following. 37 years later, to God be all the Glory, many souls have been saved and have tasted of the miracles, healing, and deliverance that only comes from the power of the Holy Spirit, in Jesus name. Many of those saved under his ministry, are still serving the Lord and fighting the good fight of faith unto this day, with some passing over the river to be with our Lord and Saviour, Christ Jesus.
