Missions

Dr. Marion Spellman founded Peniel Drug/Alcohol Residential Center, which is located on a beautiful six-acre site in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Peniel is a treatment facility that is dedicated to maintaining a Biblical and permanent solution to addiction. All addictions are reversible. Unresolved conflicts, failures and insecurities greatly contribute to a person’s substance abuse. Peniel’s approach works! Our total abstinence based treatment is reinforced with weekly classes that reveal the impact and affect of drugs on the body as well as intense Biblical Therapy designed to show the negative power of sin on the soul. Individualized treatment plans explore causal factors and provide tools for sobriety which also highlight the client’s potential and strengths as well as expose weaknesses and negative personal living patterns. Our long-term program provides the resident an opportunity to literally practice a drug-free Christian life style in a professional and supportive setting, thus assuring him or her a successful re-entry into the home and society.

Benson & Cathy Vaughan
Benson and Cathy Vaughan are missionary-teachers at the European Theological Seminary (ETS) in Kniebis, Germany. Benson and Cathy were raised in Christian homes and were active in their home churches. When they were married they became ministry partners. Since that time they have shared a music, teaching and preaching ministry as the Lord has opened doors of opportunity. Benson is a third-generation minister in the Church of God. He was trained as a public school music teacher, and served in that capacity for seventeen years in the states of Maryland and Tennessee. In 1996 the Vaughans moved to Cleveland, TN so Benson could pursue a graduate degree at the Church of God Theological Seminary. While Benson and Cathy were at the Seminary, the Lord gave them a love for international students. When the invitation was offered for them to work at ETS in Germany, their call to the missions field was confirmed. ETS offers ministerial, pastoral, Christian education and music training to men and women from all over Europe,. Africa, the COS and the Middle East. These young people are the future leaders of the Church of God throughout the world. Benson and Cathy are grateful that God has called them to such a ripe harvest field. Through the prayers and financial support of partners like you, they are able to continue this vital work in Germany.

Carl Richardson Ministries International
Beyond Borders Ministry
We are very proud of the part we have played in the “Beyond Borders” ministry. Carl has traveled to more than 100 countries witnessing thousands coming to Christ and miracles of healing and deliverance. He has a radio broadcast “Oasis Radio” that is heard daily in over 200 nations around the world.

Beyond Borders has been successful in planting more than 1000 churches in:
South Africa China India
Central America South America Russia
Eastern Europe Latin America

Carl writes monthly updates from these countries stating, “In some nations, almost routinely, God’s people are summarily whisked away under cover of night and are sometimes never seen nor heard from again. In a transparent attempt to engender fear, others are tortured for weeks and then released from prison. Still God’s work thrives amidst persecution and suffering. Who knows? One day Christians in America may have to lay their lives on the line for the sake of the gospel, too. If so, we pray that we will be as faithful and true to the Lord as God’s people are inside Communist China and other nations. They are giving everything to help spread the Word Of God.”

The best ministries are begun and tendered by people with a vision from God – people who can get the job done. They are brought together with other people of like vision and callings to do even greater things for God and His Kingdom. Thank God for “Beyond Borders” ministry!

Michael Utterback / Ministry to Israel

Due to exile, war and persecution against the people of Israel, they have been scattered throughout the World.

In the past few decades, millions of Jews have made their way home to Israel. Since 1989, over one million have come from the former Soviet Union alone, and many more will immigrate from around the world.

Ministry to Israel is instrumental in assisting with the return of thousands of Jewish people to their homeland. Ministry to Israel is a channel through which the Lord is challenging the church to:

  • Pray for the peace of Jerusalem
  • Help bring the Jews home

Regency Church has been sponsoring Michael Utterback and the Ministry to Israel since 2003. To read more about this powerful ministry go to http://www.ministrytoisrael.com.
