Clarion Call: November 2025

Steve Paysen Ministries Newsletter

Since our last newsletter in early August, we have been blessed to have front row seats as The Lord saved 575 souls through our efforts to bring as many as we can to Jesus!

In 2025 we have seen almost 1500 souls saved, we have served in 8 different states on many different platforms proclaiming the Gospel to thousands of people, and we presented a non-religious message on “Choices” to over 13,000 students in public schools across the southeast.

These souls are being saved because we have built strong partnerships with Churches and ministries that are serious about the Great Commission, these partnerships allow us to make our efforts more continuous.

TEXAS:

One of these partnerships is with Pastor James Martinez who is also a Send Network Church Planting Catalyst who has helped us build a border ministry between Brownsville, Texas and Matamoros, Mexico. This year we are partnering with James to come along side with his Church Planters and helping them both gather and win souls so that they can grow the Kingdom of God and His Church! 2026 will be a year in which P230 Foundation is far more involved with new Kingdom work partnering using the gift of harvesting souls with those who are expanding the Kingdom. This year we invested over $12,000.00 in those partnerships, next year we plan to double that to $25,000. Pray about joining us to be a blessing to our Church Planters.

NICARAGUA:

Earlier this year I took a team of Pastors to Nicaragua to see their potential partnership with them serving our beloved Will & Tammy. The trip was a success and New Heights Church (our long-time church planting partners in Kentucky) took a team of six missionaries from their Church to serve in Nicaragua, the church’s first foreign mission trip! Since that trip they have sent two back to Nicaragua to teach Theology to Pastors. Our Pastor Juan who serves in Los Cedros, Nicaragua is being used by God to grow his Church. Please keep him in your prayers as well as Will, Tammy and family.

We plan to continue to take Pastors down to Nicaragua to introduce them to our partnerships in 2026. This year we invested about $10,000.00 in our Nicaraguan Ministry partnerships; we plan to invest that amount at a minimum in 2026!

APPALACHIA:

There is a brand new partnership in our Appalachia ministry. This summer we met a young Pastor who had been recruited by a former United Methodist Church to help them transition to a non-denominational Church, Mark Sonnenmeier Jr. not only helped them, he is now pastoring what is now Pineville Community Church in Pineville, Kentucky, where we have been serving since 2013. New Heights Church in Middlesboro, KY began as a church plant in Pineville around 2010 and moved to Middlesboro in 2018. New Heights now has 200 in worship and is growing into one of Kentucky Baptist’s top small churches in baptisms! In 2025 our ministry invested $12,500.00 in our Appalachia Ministry partnerships and have already committed $15,0000.00 next year to this blessed and very fruitful partnership.

VIRGINIA:

This fall also took us to Farmville, Virginia twice. Our first trip into Farmville was in September to preach at New Life Church and we saw 10 people saved and an altar full of believers repenting. The second trip was student outreach event that had me in the public schools doing our non-religious assemblies encouraging students to make the best choices in their life including avoiding drugs and alcohol. Ultimately, we are afforded the opportunity to invite the students to another event off the school property at the end of the week and that is where we share the Gospel and give the teenagers the opportunity to repent and be saved. We saw 49 people respond to the Gospel and be saved.

JOIN US in PRAYER:

I want to thank all of you for your prayers for our family. About a month ago we received the shocking news that my wife Julie has stage 2 Colon Cancer, the stage 2 means it could be much worse, but it is also vascular and that is a major concern and a vastness of unknown. She has begun the investigative procedures to determine the scope of what we are looking at. Julie and I both believe that God is in control, and we are in His will, focused on glorifying Him in all things! Please pray we continue to walk in confidence that Jesus is with us in this valley, and He will see us through this valley!

Please also keep The Hope Center in your prayers, and donate to them as well, they desperately need our prayers and donations. (Hope4Toccoa.org)

As you have read already, we have had a very blessed year! We provided almost 15,000 Bibles this year, witnessed 1500 people go from Death to Life, preached in 9 states, 3 countries, produced 55 radio messages, leaving a large footprint in the lostness of our world.....The Gospel Changes Everything! Please help us continue this journey to see lives CHANGED.

Thank you to all of those who so faithfully support this ministry. In the past 13 years WE have seen tens of thousands of people saved, hundreds of thousands of students addressed in school assemblies as well as hundreds of Churches revived! There is so much more to do and I am committed unto the Lord to do it with His help. His people have been faithful to help us get to where we are today.

Let us press on to the upward call of the Lord and take the GOSPEL to more people! If you haven’t joined our work yet, I personally invite you to ask the Lord what you should do and just do what He says!
