Del & Jeannie Penner

Del and Jeannie are passionate people with a heart to see Germany touched with the gospel of Jesus Christ. In 1985, the Penners moved to Idar-Oberstein where they pastored a German congregation from which four churches were planted in the area. In 2010, they turned over their responsibilities to local leaders and spent the next 5 years sharing a fresh revelation of the Father’s love throughout Germany and beyond. In 2015, their city was impacted by an influx of refugees, primarily with Muslim background from the Middle East and Africa. With the largest unreached people group at their doorstep, they adjusted their focus starting Café International to provide a safe place to welcome and offer practical help to refugees. They also lead a bible study with Persian speakers of Muslim background. Overall, these ministries have impacted over 300 refugees in their city.

Ron & Carolyn Klaus

Ron is a professor-of-engineering-turned-pastor. Carolyn is an internal medicine physician. Since 2004, they have come alongside movements toward Jesus in Ethiopia, coaching and mentoring leaders behind the scenes in Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, and other communities. Their goal is sustainable transformation of individuals, communities, and cultures. They do this by raising up multi-level networks of trained leaders, each of whom disciples, empowers, deploys, and supports a few specific people for ministry to others on their own level. They teach that in God’s kingdom, God’s commands apply not only to people’s spiritual lives, but also to their physical and mental health, their family and ethnic relationships, their education and economics, and even their politics. In addition, they have established a child sponsorship program in Addis Ababa and an expanding network of self-help savings groups to help people implement some of these things. More about their work can be found at www.hopeinview.org.

Ron and Carolyn have two children and seven grandchildren.

Reggie & Ibelsa Stutzman

In 2010, Pastor Reggie & Ibelsa Stutzman planted Real Life Church in the South Bronx, in New York City. Real Life Church has always had the vision of reaching out to a hurting community. The Hunts Point section of the Bronx, has always been notoriously known for drugs, gangs, prostitution and inner city issues. Reggie & Ibelsa essentially started the church from going out on the streets at 1-2am bringing clothes and prepared meals to prostitutes, pimps and street homeless. Outreaches like an annual Thanksgiving Day feeding when over 9,000 people have been served since 2010 to 2019, an incredible skateboard outreach with over 300 kids skateboarding on a closed street, hearing the gospel, several VBS outreaches to a drug infested building complex, plus much more. In 2017, the Stutzman’s felt to do even more for the community and The Prodigal Center, a separate 501c3 organization was formed. “Find the Need, Fill the Need!” has always been our motto. Through an old mechanic shop, turned into the ‘brick and mortar’ of The Prodigal Center, giving out free pantry food, clothes, toiletries and much more. Usually, 300-400 people each week receive free food, but during the night of the COVID-19 pandemic, over 900 people each week. In 2020, over 30,000 people received help at The Prodigal Center. We aim to be a judgment free zone to anyone and everyone who comes, sharing the love and grace of Jesus Christ while doing our best to meet physical needs, however we can help. Our desire is to be the hands and feet of Jesus to a hurting community in the South Bronx.
