"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to preach good news of the gospel to the poor; he has sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised and to preach the acceptable year of the Lord."


The Baileys have set their hearts on following the call of the Lord wherever He may lead them. Africa was their first overseas mission field....and they have fallen in love with the African people. Their prayer is to be able to return to minister there again some day. They have seen God supply with supernatural provision to send them and they know that all things are possible with Him.

God has called John and Kathy as ambassadors to Africa and they also are supporting Capstone Ministries Incorporated: A dear Friend Pastor Femi Owoyemi who is from Nigeria and is here until December but will be traveling back and forth to the states as commissioned by God in the next few years.

John and Kathy Bailey have recently become Trustee's for Capstone Ministries.

Pastor Femi Owoyemi, Pastor Femi was born into a Muslim household on September 18, 1950 and educated in England graduated as a Chartered Management Accountant in 1976 and received his MBA from University of Lagos (Nigeria) in 1985 He also was a graduate of the Senior International Bankers Program at Manchester University, Manchester UK in 1991...when in 1993 he was converted to Christianity and God gave him a mandate to go to America which he did leaving all position and prestige behind and being obedient to the will of God..he has planted two churches in the United States one in Providence and one in Boston...God brought him back to Nigeria after 4 years separation from His beautiful wife an Evangelist for Jesus, Margaret Modupe Oweyemi who is also an Attorney at Law. Pastor Femi slept on the floor in someone's home for 1 year awaiting his instructions and carrying out his first part of the mandate from the Holy Spirit. Now God has sent him back to the United States after a dream in which the Lord revealed that His church and their leaders are so busy with programs and administration and investments that they are not ready for His Second Coming....and He has charged Pastor Femi Owoymi with the responsibility of taking this message to His Church.

Towards the end of the year 2000, Kathy received a vivid vision from the Lord of an altar in the middle of an open field, along with a dream of dark-skinned people. After 32 years of following the Lord, she recognized His leading, and realized that He was calling her to Africa. Being a retired couple, John and Kathy did not have the funds for such an endeavor, but the Lord challenged her to go ahead and get her passport anyhow. In obedience, Kathy went and had her passport photo taken, and that very afternoon had a check for $5,000.00 placed in her hands very unexpectedly. This was enough to pay for their tickets, immunizations, and passports! The Lord then provided funds to purchase the sound system they had prayed for, to cover all their expenses, and to bless the pastors and the people they were going to minister to.

During their trip John and Kathy witnessed God's awesome power and mercy, as He healed, delivered, and saved many, many people. They continued to receive amazing reports from the African pastors well after they left. Since returning from Africa in September of 2001, God has begun to open other doors of opportunity. He is now sending this couple out to do their part in fulfilling the "Great Commission", as stated in Mark 16:14-18.
