Proverbs 24:2-3 with special guest LaVerne Kreider. 

Larry and LaVerne started ministry in 1971, helping to found a youth ministry called “Lost But Found” that targeted the unchurched youth in their community of northern Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. Dozens came to faith in Christ and Larry found himself teaching a large group of young people each week at a gathering called “Rhema Youth Ministries.” DOVE grew out of the ensuing need for a flexible New Testament-style church (new wineskin) that could assist these new believers (new wine). In small home groups, the new believers found a place to experience and demonstrate Christianity built on relationships. They could readily share their lives with each other, grow spiritually, and reach out with the healing love of Jesus to the world.

Larry and LaVerne continue to pursue this vision to build the church with a small group focus. It is their heart’s cry to see believers worldwide reach out from house to house, city to city and nation to nation, as they empower and train others to do the same. They emphasize the need for believers to become spiritual fathers and mothers who empower the next generation. They are blessed to serve alongside an amazing team of leaders representing many nations of the world. Larry is a featured speaker at conferences and travels extensively to train Christian leaders worldwide.
