Both Bill and Larisa have a calling upon their lives in ministry for overseas. Larisa began her ministry in 1989, and William did as well in 1998. After getting married, they continued in their calling, and as they began to have children God continued to confirm their call as a family into ministry. Bill has shared with us about his deep love for the Arabic people. This love has sent he and his family all over the world.  He is always looking for new ways to break down walls in communication between Islamic culture and the Christian culture. This has included school programs, mediating dialogue groups between mosques and churches, and one on one discipleship relationships. Over the years many doors have been opened for both of them to share their faith with those who have either never heard the truth or have misunderstood it.

They have served among Arabic-speaking people in Washington, Mexico, Europe, North Africa, and the Middle East. They and their six children are presently overseas.  If you would like to personally receive updates on their efforts and information on how to pray for them, please email Bill at healinglamplight@gmail.com.
