LUKE 4:18
"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.
A little about this ministry
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.
"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature"
