Petaluma, California Since October 1999 we have seen YHWH order our steps in His word (Psalm 119:133). God began to give Ron favor with the pastors of Petaluma and he was invited to the first Pastor Prayer Summit with the Pastors of Petaluma, California in January 2000. During this summit, the LORD began a work of healing and restoration in Ron’s life and ministry. From that point on, with the blessing and covering of the Pastors of Petaluma, California, God began to open doors for Ron and Luan that are nothing short of miraculous. Ministering among these pastors and their families is a sweet experience. |
Butte County, California Our introduction to Butte County came from Pastor Don North when he facilitated the Pastors’ Prayer Summit for Petaluma Pastors in 2000. During the 2003 Petaluma Pastors’ Prayer Summit Ron was impressed to speak with him and his wife, Donna, about establishing Raven Ministries in Butte County. With their help, we were able to find a house and in March 2003 we moved our personal belongings and Raven Ministries’ headquarters to Oroville, California. Before the passing of Pastor Don North, he introduced us to a number of pastors. Through our relationship with him, Ron was also invited to the Regional Pastors’ Prayer Summit held in Chico California. Attending the Regional Prayer Summits from 2004-2007 has opened the doors for Ron to meet and initiate relationships with many pastors throughout the region. During this time God has given us favor and created deep bonds with several pastors, specifically among those in Oroville. |
Michigan An event that took place in Michigan in February of 2003 was one of, if not the most pivotal for Raven Ministries and Ron & Luan. Ron asked the pastor of Bethel Christian Church, where he pastored from 1979-1984, if he could return and publicly repent to Lynne, her family, his family, the church and community for his failure that affected so many lives. Pastor Bill Farina joyfully said yes, as he dreamed three years previously of this very thing taking place. Pastor Farina went on to prepare the church, allow Ron to repent, forgave on behalf of the church and the organization and then demonstrated restoration by having Ron preach that very day. Ron has preached twice in the church since then. We believe this opened the doors wide for the blessing of the LORD on us and on Raven Ministry. Pastor Bill Farina says it was also a day of new beginnings for Bethel Church as well. The sin had been removed that kept the church from healing and becoming what the LORD had covenanted with them. Since then, our Father has graciously opened doors of ministry in Michigan far beyond what we could ever imagine, and has provided people to come alongside and work in the ministry there. Pastor Ron and Luann Zettle are Raven’s Regents and Josie Pulcini is working with them to develop the ministry in Michigan. We are blessed by their commitment to and trust in the LORD |
