Aaron, Teresa, Levi, Moses, Abigail, and Job Krause
Ministry Description
As missionaries, we provide evangelism training and experience to local churches, schools, other groups, and individuals. Our ministry brings the Gospel to people where they are in towns and large cities like New York City, Philadelphia, and Chicago. While our ministry focuses primarily on Southwest Michigan and the Chicago area, our work extends worldwide to locations such as Africa, Jamaica, and Canada. Our passion is to share Christ with the lost wherever they may be found and to train other believers to do the same.

About Aaron
God drew me to Himself when I was seventeen years old. I was raised in a nonreligious household, my parents being unmarried. I struggled with suicidal thoughts and some drug use throughout my teen years. Before we were married, Teresa invited me to Christian Fellowship during my senior year of high school. I finally heard that Christ knew everything about me, still wanted me, and that He died for me. About a week later in the back of the pizza place where I was employed, I told Christ, "You know my sin, yet You still died for me. If You want me, You can have me." Teresa and I got married about one year later. The Lord impressed upon my heart to study the Scriptures and to tell people about Jesus. After we had our first son, Levi, we studied at Appalachian Bible College. While there, I was invited to evangelize in New York City with a Word of Life team. God did a work in my heart during that trip. I would join every year with an open-air evangelism team in New York City to tell people about Jesus. The LORD also allowed me to counsel men for about four years in a discipleship program for those who struggled with addiction. God planned for me to tell people about Jesus and to train others how to do the same. This became clearer through each stage of my Christian journey.
About Teresa
I was raised in a non-Christian home. We moved a lot, but God always brought neighbors into my life who brought me to church. One church bus ministry took me to church when I was in fourth grade. That’s when I heard and believed the Gospel. I was baptized later as a 6th grader. When I was 16, my family completely fell apart, and I had no idea what the future would be like. At that time, the Lord used a counselor at my school to introduce me to a Christian family who later adopted me. I don't know how my life would have turned out if God didn't bring me to the Bothwell household. As they discipled me, I grew in my relationship with Christ. I met Aaron in 12th grade and got married in 2005. Graduating from Appalachian Bible College in 2011, I also worked at a women’s shelter, counseling women from God's Word. Aaron and I have four children: Levi, Moses, Abigail, and Job; whom we have the privilege to raise to love the Lord. All four of our children seek to follow Christ. They have shared the Gospel in New York City, Chicago, Baltimore, and local towns.
“And Jesus said to them, ‘Follow Me, and I will make you become fishers of men.’”
