John and Tanya Lynch. Founders of MASM!

John and Tanya were children of revival that took place in the 90s in Ukraine where they first met when they were 13 years old in Grace Church planted by Bill and Joanie Lynch. John and Tanya served in youth ministry, discipleship, homegroups and led an evangelism ministry in Ukraine for 10 years, before they came to Redding, California  and completed three years of the Bethel School of Supernatural Ministry. Through some bizarre confirmations to prophetic words they received, in 2014 they knew it was time to return to Ukraine and be part of the fulfillment of a long-time prophecy about Ukraine being “a bread basket to the nations.” John serves as the senior pastor of Father’s House church in Kharkiv, Ukraine and oversees a number of churches in the Kharkiv region and other cities in Ukraine. John has a passion for raising up new worship leaders and musicians who are in the process of birthing new songs that will reverberate throughout nations of the former Soviet Union. Since they returned to Kharkov, in 2014 a ministry to the poor called Love in Action was birthed, and today it is functioning in three different cities around Ukraine.   

John and Tanya have always had a burden to reach the poor with the good news and love and power of the gospel, and they started a tradition of organizing annual Feasts of Love  around Christmas time for the homeless and the poor, where people get blessed in extravagant ways.  They are passionate about equipping people in the supernatural, activating people in prophecy, healing and other gifts of the Spirit.  They burn with a vision of raising up leaders to be missionaries, sent out to villages, cities of Ukraine and beyond.

Currently, as a result of the war, and most of the church being scattered, they have stepped into a different role. They are currently temporarily living in the western part of Ukraine in Ivano-Frankivsk where they are helping the local church where they  organize retreats for pastors and leaders from all around Ukraine to be equipped, along with retreats for new believers and other forms of training retreats.  And Ivano-Frankivsk has also become the home to MASM, the Missions Academy of Supernatural Ministry.

Chuck Parry’s life is marked by both faith and the miraculous. He’s seen the dead raised, food multiplied, storms move out of the way, the supply of heaven released through supernatural finances, and countless people healed and their lives transformed. His passion is to see everyone come fully alive and walk out their heavenly purposes, bringing glory to Jesus, who paid the price. He carries and releases the Joy of the Lord everywhere he goes. Searching for spiritual reality, Chuck was determined to meet the Imaginer and Designer of the Universe, and in a cabin in the mountains of Colorado in 1972, he had a personal encounter with Jesus and surrendered to Him. He met his first Christian believers in a Holy Ghost prayer meeting in a village of 400 people, where he was baptized in the Holy Spirit and discipled in the truths of the Bible.

A church-planting pastor in Colorado for 20 years, Chuck is now the Director of Bethel Healing Rooms in Redding, CA. His vision is for creating open heaven Communities where believers live to honor the very real presence of God among us and within us, according to His word, coming together in love and seeing miracles break out. He is the author of the books Free Falling – True Stories of One Man’s Leap Into the Miraculous, and Alignment – Live a Life of Miracles. Married since 1977, Chuck and his wife Linda have three children and five grandchildren.

When they’re not traveling Dr. Brian and Lorena live in Redding, California where they attend Bethel Church and serve in the Healing Rooms.  

Brian studied at Fuller Theological Seminary, Vanguard University, and later Studied for his Doctorate of Ministry at Westminster Theological Seminary.  

Wherever Brian and Lorena go, they carry the tangible joy and a powerful anointing for healing.  We are so thrilled that they will be with us this year!

From Brian and Lorena: 

For the past forty years, our journey has involved planting churches on three continents, training hundreds of missionaries and pastors, and having fun doing it!  Our hearts are deeply committed to preaching the gospel, teaching the Word, praying for the sick, and encouraging the Church! We have a passion to see the lost come into a relationship with Jesus Christ and desire to see the Church equipped to reach the world. Happily married for over forty years, we are blessed with five remarkable children and seven beautiful grandchildren.

Our precious friends who we sometimes refer to as M&A are a missionary family with vast experience in unconventional ministry and business in a country closed to the gospel, considered by many too dangerous to serve in.  They carry an amazing anointing and really impart the ability to create an atmosphere of family and acceptance, and also share from their rich experience in sharing the gospel and making disciples in this kind of hostile environment. 

They have played a huge role in the incredible, daring humanitarian work happening over near the frontlines of Ukraine since the war started, and they also continue remotely to work with, assist and support many of their leaders who are still in the country they used to serve in as missionaries.  

Currently they travel extensively to Ukraine, coordinating and leading our ministries close to the frontlines.  

They also planted a brand new church in Kamas, UT where they currently live. 

They have 7 beautiful children and their family is a huge part of their ministry and the impact that they make on people.

Our dear friend was born in Ukraine in humble settings milking cows.  Never did she imagine she would later become a missionary to China and serve with the underground church and plant several churches during her 11 years of serving in China.  

Currently she serves as a chaplain near the southern frontlines of the war in Ukraine, and she also leads a thriving ministry for children in three villages.  

She is often invited to teach on missions work, and to train people how to do missions work in closed countries.  

She is one of the most on-fire we have ever met, and she is passionate about Jesus and bringing the love and power of the gospel to people, not matter what the cost, no matter what the danger. 

We are so honored that once again she will be teaching in our academy! 

Our dear brother Daniel has a very unusual story, and is a rare and mostly hidden treasure in the body of Christ. When he’s not traveling he spends half of his time in Israel and half in the USA.  Last time he was in Ukraine he made an incredible impact on our students, and we are so honored that he will once again be teaching in our academy.  He has an unusual prophetic gift, and has a heart to serve and pray for people one-on-one no matter how long it takes.  He has an incredible passion and calling to prayer, and a mantle of seeing nations transformed.  He travels extensively around the world to speak to executives of companies, universities, churches, associations and mission organizations.  He immigrated from Korea to USA at 9 years old. 

He is a trained Cross-cultural Psychiatrist.  

He Served as Dean of the Global Leadership Development Institute

Has served on the Adjunct Faculty at the University of the Nations, 2006-present 

He teaches on topics such as:

Identity and Leadership development,

prayer and revival movements, and

healing and destiny of nations of the 21st century. 

Him and his family have been on a special prayer tour around the world, where they spent time in: North Korea, Israel, Japan, Australia, Iraq, Ukraine and India.
