Buckingham Palace




The Bromwich Castle Hall















Please Pray that the Lord will preserve this building for the future sight of the UK Heritage Hall. This building was built by the Puritans and was used to hide preachers during times of persecution.


Ideally located near the center of Birmingham it could be a great tool not only to house students and Crown UK, but also for a conference center, and a hall of fame to the great English Heritage.


This hall has an adjoining park that recieves 10,000 visitors a year.

Half of the funds have been raised in the UK. Pray for wisdom for Brother Zenker in this matter.

Gifts can be sent too:

The Christian Heritage Trust

Marsh Farm House

Tothall Lane Salford Priors

Trip to the United Kingdom

What a joy it was for us to make this trip to the UK. We appreciate the invitation and the hospitality of James and Genevieve Zenker. It was an honor to see what the Lord has done not only in this church but in many other churches in the area and country because of the burden that God gave Pastor Clarence Sexton.

Esther had to go home for lack of support. The church is without a piano player.

For unto the church was a piano loaned

Through Hugo we were loaned a piano. We praise the Lord for Hugo's aunt who was wanting to get rid of her piano. We are blessed to have it in our home during this time and Marc is having fun teaching himself how to play.

A first

We had the joy of celebrating the first birthday of Timothée Valero. This little guy has brought a lot of joy in our hiome and church. His parents are a great help to us as we endeaver to reach this city with the gospel.

The Teen Group

These young people came from all over France for 15 days packed full of activites and spiritual renewal Camp Rainbox exists since 1980 and is a place where young people have come to know the Lord and dedicate themselves to his service. The young people pictured here came from Paris, L'ile de France (paris suburbs), Cavaillon, Tarbes, Gers, Orleans, Bordeaux, Lyon. 8 professed Christ or got the assurance of their salvation. Three of this years counselors were former campers.

Teaching ministry at camp

Every morning for an hour the Lord gave me an opportunity to minister the word to 18 teens. The response was exceptional and I praise the Lord for allowing me to have a part in the lives of these young people.

Jeremy Garuates

We praise the Lord that our third son got through highschool. As you can see our sons are all about the same height. Just to think I used to be able to talk on the oldest three with our any problem now I would have difficulty ring one down. I think I could do it if I caught one of the off gaurd.

We rejoice in sons who honestly have honored their parents.

Jeremy received his diploma from Temple Baptist Home School

We are very thankful to the Lord for the day that our paths crossed with Pastor Clarence Sexton. He has been a true friend to our family.

Stephen and Julie

Young adults

Last year several pastors heard about our retreat of 8 and encouraged us to organize one for young adults, so not knowing how to go about it we reserved a center in the south for France and sent out the invitations. We were greatly encouraged by the response and Praise the Lord for the way the retreat was blessed of the Lord. The Thème was "Who Me called "? There were Five messages given on five aspects of the Lord's calling upon our lives. Hugo, Stephen, Samuel, Didier and myself gave the messages and the repsonse was very positive. Isabelle was in charge of the food and did a wonderful job cooking for a crowd of 48 young adults. The plan is to renew the idea for next year so Pray that the Lord will direct in the theme and thoses who will come.

Youth retreat 2

The youth retreat was a special blessing because of the fact that so many young people were encouraged to live their christian life. For years we have been involved in summer camps and every year the young people have the same testimony! "I left last year with a great desire to continue on for the Lord, but after a few months I got in with the wrong crowd and spirituelly disconnected". These retreats are a booster shot in the arm for these young people.

Teen Retreat

Last year 07 we had a one day retreat for young people and 8 showed up for a day of fun and fellowship and preaching. This year we planned a little harder and 22 showed up. What an exciting time we had in the word and prayer with some fun activities!! Baseball-basketball. I had never heard of anything like it before my French coach had us play it just before Christmas brake!!! Young people came from Limoges, Poissy, Alsace, Mantes, Maison-Lafitte, and Orleans.

Family United

It was a great Joy to have our family united over the Year end Holidays. Stephen and Samuel flew in on the 12 and were supposed to fly out on the12th but because of snow and ice in Paris they didn't get off until the 13 of January. They spent the night in the airport but they were able to meet up with some other MK's that were heading back to school as well. While they were here we were able to take some pictures and here are a few.
