The Houser Family, our missions staff in the United Kingdom
Carl and Charmaine Houser have been called to serve the the people of the United Kingdom. The couple is going to the UK with the gospel so that every person living in the British Isles would know that Christ is alive, and He alone saves to the uttermost. The call of Christ to “go” is driving them to the UK. Their prayer is that the land would burn bright again with the gospel light into Europe, Asia, and the rest of the world.
