Meet the Fishels

Rural Ministry in Joniškis, Lithuania

The Fishels are church planters in the small northern town of Joniškis and their primary focus of ministry are local underprivileged village children and their families. Their ministry entails multiple facets from meeting practical tangible needs of neglected children as being a safe place for them to gather. They facilitate weekly gatherings for the community for Bible study, worship and fellowship. They also work diligently with their community to allow for local disadvantaged children to have a way to attend summer camp in Panevėžys. Simona, a native of Joniškis married to her husband Ryan from Nevada and they with their 4 children felt called from ministry in Ireland right back to Simona's hometown. There is such a deep need in this rural area and they are a beacon of love and hope. It is an honor to partner with what God is doing in this beautiful, forested region of Joniškis, Lithuania.

Prison Ministry in Alytus & Vilnius, Lithuania

Led by Pastor Darius Aškinis

Pastor Darius uses the contributions sent through your purchases towards gas and materials such as Bibles in Lithuanian and other books about faith and hope. He has shared with me about the numerous testimonies of once people lost in crime and brokenness now living a full and productive life. I personally have toured the exterior of Lithuania's National Prison in Vilnius with Pastor Darius and have heard the stories of what goes on behind those walls. It's a sad and scary place. Which is why God's work through Darius and his team is so needed and life-changing.

At this time, Pastor Darius does not have a personal website or social media for his work. His work is affiliated with the Evangelical Church of Lithuania and their website is evangelija.lt(in Lithuanian). You can donate directly there and please mark your donation for "prison ministry needs". Please feel free to contact me for help, if needed.
