Dan Scalf and Ken Craven

Daniel Scalf was born in Illinois in 1955. On January 3, 1972 at 7 PM he
received Christ as savior and was instantly healed of a brain tumor and
filled with the Holy Spirit. A few days later he received the call of
God to Russia and world missions.


His first ministry was in his own high school where he led forty other
students to faith in Christ. Later the same year he joined the traveling
ministry of Christ is the Answer and was involved in ministry throughout
the United States. Living in tents and learning to trust God for his
daily needs.


In 1973, he traveled to Europe on a freighter arriving with two dollars
in his pocket. Preaching on the streets and in churches, Dan then began
smuggling Bibles behind the iron curtain. He returned to the USA briefly
in 1975 where he served as youth Pastor at Bethesda Assembly of God in
Moline, Illinois. In that ministry over 300 teenagers responded to the
gospel. Taking small teams to small towns many small fellowships and
churches were begun.


Dan returned to Europe working with Open Doors and Brother Andrew

In 1977 returning to Davenport Iowa he became youth Pastor at Westside
Assembly of God under Pastor Tommy Barnett. Also serving with Dan was
Pastor Bill Wilson. Bill currently is ministering at Metro Church in the
Bronx.


While serving at Westside he along with several of the young people was
arrested for ministering on the streets. As a result of that arrest, the
mayor lost the election, and the police chief was forced to resign. That
arrest led to A Christian boycott and the net result was pornography
being removed from Davenport for a period of ten years.



Also, while at Westside Roger Jepsen ran for and was elected to the US
Senate. Dan during one night came up with the idea for scorecards that
are now used in almost every election. In 1979 he moved to Seattle to
attend Bible College and quickly got involved in politics. Part of NCPAC

legislation in Washington State. In Oregon he consulted and helped the
Joe Lutz Senate race as well as the Steve Symms Senate race in Idaho.


Arrested along with two State Legislators an off duty police officer and
a medical doctor while picketing an abortion clinic in Spokane Dan served
36 days in jail. That case went all the way to the US Supreme Court. In
1988 returning to Illinois he served on Pat Pat Robertsons campaign in
three states stated and George Bush's in five states.


In 1990 while serving on a governors race he quit to follow his heart;

Christian leaders on both sides of the border. In Ossetia, he helped
plant 41 churches in towns where there was no church before. In Soviet

hundred.



In 1992 Dan met Pastor B.H. Clendenen in Moscow and was involved in the
first School of Christ. His focus at the school was helping plant new
churches and to bring aid to those churches.


Currently, Dan's focus is on Humanitarian Aid, Church planting, and
kingdom evangelism throughout the world. Having traveled and worked in

unique presprective on geo- political events througout the world.



Dan lives on very little all his posssesions fit in a car. His motto in
life is living simply that others might simply live



Pastor Ken Craven is from near Barnsley in England. He was in a
Christian home and on a family farm. His father Walter was in amny
meetings with the like of Smith Wiggelsworth and Stephens Jeffries. Even
as a young child Ken saw and experienced many miracles.

Brother Ken remained in the family farm business when God called to reap
the harvest of men and women for the gospel of the Kingdom. Ken brought
millions of Bibles, tracts and lots of humanitarian aid into Eastern
Europe. He has driven to Russian 45 times. Pastor Ken, brought the
first Bibles ever into Albania. Now in the area he brought the Bibles to
are seventy churches.

Working often with Prayer For Israel, and Society for Distribution of
Hebrew Scriptures Ken was used by God to help the work of evacuating
Russian Jews into Israel. Ken helped open the Full Gospel Businessmens
Chapter in Jerusalem.

I (Daniel Scalf) met Ken when he was in hospital in Krakow, Poland. He
had been hit by a car going 70 miles per hor and left for dead. I prayed
for him and the word God gave me is you will live and not die and declare
the works of the Lord.

Ken was not instantly healed but was told he would never walk again.
Later that year he was instantly healed and we traveled together to help
evacuate Russian Jews and preach this gospel in Ossetia, Checyna, and
Georgia. The church had a 30 members and now has over 1000, 41
additional churches have been planted in this war zone.

in recent years Brother Ken has been going to India and helping plant
churches. You will not want to miss him and Dan
in the services at My Fathers House, Friday and Saturday.
