God used her to pray all of the family of Tony Abram both on his mother’s side and father’s side by standing on the promise: Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house. (Acts 16:31 KJV)

She has prayed over thousands of requests on the behalf of others. God bless you. Be sure if you send a prayer request to Abundant Life Crusades she will be praying for your request. There has been hundreds of answered prayer requests over the years.

Born 1930, has gone home to be with Jesus March 12, 2008.  Mike Brandebura was one of our dearest friends of ours for many years.  When Marge was a young girl she felt the call of God on her life when Mike and a group of students from the Bible School came to minister at her church. Mike was an associate evangelist with our ministry of Abundant Life Crusades for many years.  We will miss his friendship and ministry.

He and his wife Ann have been with Marge and I in ministry in Russia, Ukraine, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Chez Republic, Slovakia, Germany, Slovenia, Holland, England, Kenya, South Africa, Mexico, Canada, USA and Argentina.  He had been a blessing everywhere he had been with us.  He will be missed by many.

His home was both in Edmonton, Alberta and Kissimmee, Florida.  Mike served the Slavic Churches in Canada as a Bishop for over 22 years and was Vice President of the Conference of The Slavic Churches of North America.  We were glad to have had him as a member of the team and our representative to the Slavic Churches of North America.

Bill and Wanda Kryzanowski
Bill & Wanda

Bill and Wanda Kryzanowski Associate Evangelists

Bill and Wanda Kryzanowski are fine ministers who are semi-retired.  Bill says his claim to fame is that he is a brother to Marge Abram.  Wanda has been a faithful representative for Abundant Life Crusades in Canada since 1976.  This was shortly before Bill answered the Call of God on his life, that he had since he was assisting in local churches some years before. 

They pastured in Andrew, Alberta, Canada for 10 years during which they build a new sanctuary.  They did a tour of ministry in Mexico after a 4-month crash course in language school. 

Afterward they became Pastors of the church in Glendon, Alberta.

This is where Marge came to know Jesus as her personal Saviour when she was only eight years old during a wonderful revival that swept the area. You can read of her conversion and of the revival in her testimony here.  After 7 years of pasturing in Glendon they recently resigned to begin their ministry of itinerant and supply ministry.  Wanda is a fine pianist and organist. She works very closely with her husband Bill.


Harley M. Fiddler

Harley M. Fiddler, Missionary, Evangelist, & Teacher
International Focus Ministries INC.

Brother Harley formerly an ordained minister in the Methodist Church of the Ohio West Conference is a graduate of Ohio University, Athens, Ohio (AB degree) and Asbury Theological Seminary, Wilmore, Kentucky (BD/MTh degree).

Tony Abram writes the following:
Working with Harley Fiddler, veteran missionary evangelist and teacher is always a special blessing to us.  He is honest, sincere and dedicated.  We do not often get that many opportunities to work with him.

However, when we do, it is always wonderful ministry and it is always a joy to work with Harley as not only is he always upbeat but also a man filled with the Spirit and Word of God.  He started his ministry as an Methodist Pastor then working with Kenneth Hagen helping him in the first years of Rhema Bible School being the first Dean of the School.  Then he went to serve as Dean at Christ for the Nations.  This, I believe this was the Lord getting him ready for the ministry of missionary evangelism. His ministry and outreach is similar to our ministry.  Perhaps that is why our ministries can flow together so well.  We have worked together in Japan, Taiwan, USA, Ukraine, Belarus and India.

He served 1978-1979 as Campus Pastor, faculty member and Missions Director at Rhema Bible Training Center of Kenneth Hagin Ministries and 1983 to 1985 he served on the Faculty and was Dean of Family Ministries at Christ For The Nations in Dallas Texas.  In obedience to a long-awaited dream and vision, Brother and Sister Fiddler formed International Focus Ministries, Inc., a missionary organization, designed to serve as a facilitating ministry net-working local churches, missionaries and national ministers. They are involved with ministries in 38 countries.   Brother and Sister Fiddler have a variety of ministerial experience over the past 50 years in Pastoral, Teaching, Missionary and Evangelistic ministry and is a associate evangelist with Tony and Marge Abram of the Abundant Life Crusades. Please pray for Harley and Donna Fiddler. You can visit Harley's home page at:

Anatoliy Rysko

Anatoliy Rysko

Anatoliy Rysko is our new representative and associate evangelist to South America. He has been a dear friend and fellow minister since 1975 when we first met him in Pasados, Argentina. 

He was pastor of a local church there when we came for a citywide crusade and the main host pastor.  He was born in Paraguay of Ukrainian parents.  He speaks 4 languages, Spanish, Ukrainian, English and Russian. He has been with us in Ukraine in the past and has coordainated and interpreted for us in some of our Argentina crusades. 

He has a strong anointing on his ministry, especially when he has interpreted us.

His home is now in Edmonton, Canada. When we met him in 1975 we were told that the largest evangelistic effort only drew crowds of 400.

We used the great amphitheater by the river in Pasados and thousands of people came as God gave us a great revival at that time.   Please pray for Anatoliy. We believe he has much to do for the Lord in South America, especially in Argentina and also on behalf of this ministry.

Jim and Darla Snipe

Jim and Darla Snipe (Japan)

In April of 1986, my wife and I went to Japan for the first time.  I believed that God wanted us to go to Japan, but I did not know why. 

The first morning after arriving in Tokyo I awoke very early and saw Mt. Fuji from our hotel room window. 

As I looked out over Tokyo I started thinking about the fact that 99 percent of the people in Japan do not believe in Jesus Christ and have any hope of eternal life. 

www.geocities.jp/sumotochapel/index-e.htm

I began to weep as God put a burden on my heart for the nation of Japan.  My wife was soon weeping also even though I did not speak to her.  Our hotel room was filled with the presence of God.  I felt as if Jesus were weeping through me for the nation of Japan.  I could easily relate to the Bible verse in the 19th Chapter of Luke that speaks about Jesus weeping for Jerusalem.

pastor joey and priscilla
Pastor Joey & Priscilla

Joseph & Priscilla Chetty

"Joey" was born into a family line of Hindu priests in Durban, South Africa of Indian descent.  From an early age he was being groomed to take over the reins from his father.  But that was not to be. 

After the death of his father at the age of 43, Joey went on to attend Sunday School where the whole focus from Hinduism shifted.  He gave his heart to the Lord shortly thereafter and began serving and working for God. 

He was a strong witness to students in high school and began to mobilize the young people of his day to serve God.

 

At the age of 18 the doors opened for him to enter full time ministry.  He served his initial training under the leadership of Dr. Bronkhorst, a veteran missionary and pioneer in South Africa.  He was ordained at the age of 20 and went on to serve the church and his community in every facet of ministry.  He and his wife Priscilla, (trained also under Brother and Sister Bronkhorst) have four children and raising an additional two more and all are serving the Lord.

He pioneered Christian Ministries International in 2005 and already has a presence in South Africa, Zambia, Tanzania, Malawi and Mozambique.  His vision is to provide quality education and support to churches and ministers by offering Bible based leadership training to churches.  He also serves as principal of their Christian school (Grades 0-12) and distributes free Christian literature to churches in and around South Africa.

Most recently he has become an associate evangelist with Abundant Life Crusades.  He is their representative in Southern African countries helping to organize and plan their outreach ministry to those who are in need of the Gospel.

doug and davina graham of england
Doug & Davina Graham

Doug and Davina Graham
UK Representatives.

Doug and Davina Graham of Guildford, Surrey, England, have been the longest representatives of Abundant Life Crusades except for my mother. 

They have been our associates for 38 years. 

We do appreciate all they have meant over the years and have in their own way helped us to take the Gospel to the world.

Doug’s testimony:
It has been our privilege to know Missionary Evangelist's Tony and Marge Abram for almost 42 years, of which 38 of them we have served as their representatives in the United Kingdom. 

When Tony Abram asked me to take on this ministry and responsibility, we did not know if we would be able to do it.  However, with the grace of God, we have helped fulfill what was required of us.  My father was a Pastor from the time I was a child.  Though my wife and both were raised in a Christian home and in the same church since we were 6 and 4 years old, we both had our own wonderful “Born again experience.”

God has no grandchildren, only children.  We all must have our own personal experience with Christ.  I did not go to Bible School but have been involved in the Work of God and in leadership all of my life. 

We have four children - Peter married with children to a Swiss girl living and working in Switzerland as assistant pastor, Jeff and his wife and children live near us in Guildford. Our two girls, Heather, with their husband and Sheena lives near us. What a joy to see them living for Jesus. I do service in our local church as a Consulter Pastor and Davina in children’s work.

We remember meeting Tony and Marge Abram in early January 1963 when we were experiencing the coldest winter in 248 years. It was the first time in as many years that the Thames River was frozen over and they were able to roast an ox on it.  From the very first time we heard them minister, we were blessed and have been blessed by their ministry over the years.  They have had a number of successful crusades over the years in the United Kingdom and have blessed many churches. Many have come to Christ and been healed.

Of course, those of you who receive their Good News Publications already know that Tony and Marge Abram have given their lives to take the Gospel to the Nations.  God has used them over the years to win thousands of precious souls, seen thousands healed and delivered. Hundreds of churches have been established all over the world.  Yet none of them have become their own but have become part of the Living Church of God worldwide.  I know they have not sought to build any earthly kingdom but have tried to be wise and good stewards of the Lord.

May I ask you to pray for them and that God will yet use them in a greater way.  Also, when you remember, do pray for us and that we may continue to be of some service to the Abundant Life Crusades.
