Paul & Barbara Dodge

Paul and Barbara Dodge were pastoring in Florida when they felt the call of God in 1993 to plant churches in Russia when the iron curtain fell. Their successful ministry birthed churches that continue to birth churches and represent thousands of converts to Christ. Now their ministry is taking them to the closed nations of Vietnam, Laos, Burma and Cambodia. Paul is firmly convinced that there is not one person in this world that cannot be transformed through prayer and every person has the potential to be involved in touching nations for God.
