Seale and Marcia Price

Seale and Marcia Price are great examples of those who have decided not to retire but to “refire”.  In 1997, while they were both in their 50’s, they founded a non-profit organization to help the people of Venezuela.  They established a headquarters in Venezuela in 1998, where they had ministers going to five different areas in the mountains on a weekly basis, sharing the Gospel with the people in each of those areas.

In January 2000, they moved to Venezuela to start a Bible School in Villa del Rosario. Once the Bible School was established and the nationals began graduating, they expanded the ministry.  In 2005, they started their first Bible School in Colombia.  The graduates of the Bible Schools in Venezuela did most of the teaching in Colombia until the Columbian nationals completed their training, and additional teachers were raised up in that nation.

Mike Croslow is a passionate advocate for world missions and a veteran missionary having served 20 years on the field in East Africa.  As founder of Abundant Life Ministries in Uganda, he focused on church planting, ministers training, and childrens ministry, primarily among the Busoga and Iteso tribes.  Now fully indigenous and under African leadership, Abundant Life Ministries has become a church-planting movement with over 40 churches in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, and Kenya.

After moving back to the States in 2000, Mike served as International Director for Agape Missionary Alliance.  In 2003 he helped found and establish Harvest Churches International (HCI), and served for three years as Executive Director and then as Coordinator for World Missions.  During this eight year period he helped raise over five million dollars for local church missions outreach.  Mike currently serves as Africa Director for HCI, building a network of churches and ministers across East And Central Africa.

Mike is currently in the process of launching a bold new initiative that will provide opportunites for Africans trapped in poverty to receive assistance in the form of small business loans. Known as microfinance, this approach gives the poor a "hand-up" as opposed to a "hand-out", and creates lasting and sustainable change in their lives. After months of research, study and consultation with leading microfinance experts in several nations, Mike and his wife Vail, will be moving to Kampala, Uganda the first quarter of 2009 to start microfinance operations and build a model that can be replicated in other nations.
