Blue Jay Ministries
Overview
Blue Jay Ministries, led by credentialed minister Danielle “Dani” Deuter and her son Kyle, is dedicated to sharing the message of Jesus Christ and fostering spiritual growth in the rv communities. Our mission is deeply rooted in the legacy of Ethan Lee, Dani’s son, who tragically lost his life in a car accident one year after declaring his faith in Jesus. Ethan’s desire was for everyone to know Christ, and we aim to honor his memory through our ministry.
Ministerial Offerings
• Prayer Services
• Officiant Services for Weddings and Baptisms
• Bible Studies for All Ages
• Teaching and Life Coaching
• Support for Grief and Child Loss
Our Mission
Blue Jay Ministries travels across the United States in our RV, engaging with individuals and families wherever they are. We strive to meet people in their current life situations and introduce them to the love, redemption, and relationship with Jesus that aligns with the teachings of the early church. Our approach includes:
• Community Building: We focus on breaking bread together, sharing life experiences, and studying scripture to strengthen our faith and community ties.
• Discipleship: We are committed to raising up the next generation of disciples who are equipped to carry forward the message of Christ.
• Support and Guidance: We offer comfort and guidance to those navigating grief, particularly from child loss, and provide opportunities for baptisms and wedding officiant services.
Focus on the Nomadic Community
While we are open to serving anyone, our primary focus is on the nomadic community, particularly those who frequent campgrounds. Many individuals we encounter have shared their hesitations about attending traditional church services due to reasons such as:
• Previous negative church experiences
• Discomfort with the political aspects of organized religion
• A transient lifestyle that makes it challenging to connect with a local church
By creating a welcoming environment around potlucks and campfires, we provide a space for meaningful connections and discussions about faith. This often leads to spiritual transformations, including salvations and baptisms. We maintain ongoing relationships through virtual Bible studies and prayer groups, ensuring that our community remains connected and supported.
Conclusion
At Blue Jay Ministries, we are passionate about meeting people where they are and guiding them toward a deeper understanding of Jesus Christ. Together, we can navigate life’s challenges and celebrate its joys, fostering a community rooted in faith and love.
Ministry in the lives of older adults and their caregivers
I love finding encouragement for older adults and their caregivers in the Bible. Of course there are many references I could share here; but here are some examples of the comfort our souls can find.
Psalms 131:2 But I have stilled and quieted my soul…
God’s breath of life begins a new soul. The first souls, Adam and Eve received life from God and He wants to breathe new life into us as well. I’m so thankful for the restoration of my soul by receiving the gift of salvation from and in Jesus.
In the New Testament we find more evidence of how God provides for peace.
Jesus and the Soul
Matthew 11:28-30 – “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”
Jesus promises that we do not have to carry our burdens alone and that we may turn to him for comfort when we are overwhelmed. It also shows Jesus’ compassion and genuine caring, and how He wants to give our souls peace and comfort. This message gives us hope and reassurance that we may always turn to Jesus for rest and serenity.
What I offer as your chaplain
As I serve in assisted living facilities, homes, or with hospice ministry, I want to offer quiet listening, genuine and respectful responses, prayer, simple skills that can be used by caregivers, and encouragement for older adults.
At Called Out, we take great joy in nurturing ministers! Scott feels a calling to disciple others, empowering them to disciple in turn. He has shared his teaching expertise across various Bible study environments.
We are passionate about spreading the faith to those who have yet to know Jesus Christ or are exploring Christianity. Scott finds fulfillment in ministering to individuals and families he encounters in different walks of life.
Our vision is to cultivate ministry leaders who can emulate Jesus’ model of ministry. To achieve this, we gather weekly, both in homes and public spaces. We pray for deeper community connections with Jesus and for God to continually unite the believers in our community.
We meet each week at 6:00pm. The evening begins with a potluck dinner, sometimes we have themed dinners. We spend about an hour eating and socializing. It is important to be able to live life together and have time to share what the Lord is doing in each of our lives.
This is followed with a bible study lesson that lasts for about 45 minutes. We encourage participation and questions during each study. This allows each person to learn from the others that are present. After the bible study, we dismiss and are usually done by 8:00pm.
Called Out, nestled in the heart of Fredericktown, Missouri, is shepherded by the compassionate Ordained Minister Scott Bates alongside his devoted wife, Mandy. A disabled veteran, Scott pours his heart into nurturing the local church and uplifting the community through the sacred art of ministry.
Ministerial Offerings:
-Prayer
-Officiant Services
-Consultations for Becoming a Christian
-Marriage Ministry
-House Church Ministry
-Bible Study or Pulpit Messages

Watch the interview with Pastor Scott as he shares a bit more about his ministry.
I am Pastor Gary Burney. I am an Ordained Minister through CLI.
My mom led me to Jesus Christ when I was six years old. By the time I was eight years old, Jesus had called me into His ministry. Jesus would require me to wait fifty-five years before He made His calling upon my life a reality. It wasn’t until I was retired and relocated up to upper-Michigan and began studying at CLI that God placed the calling once again upon my heart to begin a ministry.
I have always been interested in the nursing home ministry due to having served in a nursing home ministry as a child in a Baptist Church.
As an Ordained Minister, it is interesting, I insist that I am a volunteer minister like the Apostle Paul. I placed an ad in our local newspaper advertising for a position as a non-paid minister, in any small church. I ran this ad for a month in the church section and never received a single call.
After that failure, I called nursing homes and the Lord God opened doors and placed my ministry, Choose Jesus Ministries, in three nursing homes each week. We do full worship services and serve the Lord’s Supper weekly. I am a non-denominational minister. I make the services comfortable for everyone.
Recently the Lord has opened the door for Choose Jesus Ministries to take the gospel into another nursing home. This gives us four facilities weekly to spread God’s word and lead people to Christ.
We also go into people’s homes and perform worship services for people who are shut-in’s, and who are ill.
One man is an ALS patient. His family attends the service.
People like it when I go into their rooms and homes and sing to them and play my red electric guitar. That seems to bring them joy. Singing and playing the guitar is a talent the Lord has blessed my with.
One patient, his name is Greg, he is on life supports, his wife’s name is Jan, He gives me a thumbs up as I sing a few songs for him.
My mom and I perform a worship service at this nursing home weekly where Greg and Jan are in upper-Michigan.
God has called me to this ministry. He has given me special gifts for this work. He gives me opportunities frequently to lead people to the Lord, as my first calling is to be an Evangelist. All the work I do for the Lord, I do as a volunteer minister.

Church Twinning International, Inc. (CTI) is an ecumenical, international, interfaith, and intercultural outreach ministry. Founded in 1981 by Professor Andrew Crakye Denteh and Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston, alongside his late wife, Mrs. Isabelle Daniels Holston, this initiative emerged from the collaborative vision of religious leaders from Georgia (USA) and Ghana (West Africa).
CTI “twins” congregations globally, fostering meaningful connections between diverse communities. This initiative encourages the exchange of communication, evangelism, and cultural experiences, thereby supporting pastors, parishioners, and their respective communities in their spiritual and societal endeavors. Each congregation embodies the Pauline Macedonian experience found in Acts 16:9, which calls for mutual support and assistance, reflected in the phrase, “…come over and help us.”
CTI has established three member organizations: CTI-USA, CTI-Ghana, and CTI-Liberia. Each branch plays a vital role in nurturing local congregations and facilitating international outreach efforts. As CTI prepares to expand into new regions around the world, Rev. Dr. Sidney R. Holston decided to formalize Church Twinning International Global Ministries, Inc. in August 2024. This strategic move aims to enhance CTI’s capacity for outreach, enabling it to forge new partnerships and foster intercultural dialogue on a broader scale. In a world that often feels divided, CTI’s mission emphasizes the importance of unity in diversity, highlighting the transformative power of faith and collaboration. Through its programs, CTI seeks not only to support individual congregations but also to contribute to the broader goal of global peace and understanding, reflecting its commitment to the teachings of love, service, and community upliftment.
Minister Charlene S. Bowden is the President of CTI Global Ministries and has received credentials from Christian Leaders Institute and Christian Leaders Alliance. She holds the following awards and licenses: Licensed Minister, Christian Ministry Award, Basic Christian Ministry Award, Field Minister (Commended), Christian Leaders Connection Award, Christian Wedding Officiant.
We work with churches, networks and denominations to bring together a robust leader formation process with ecclesiastical certification. We offer live mentoring, along with a combination of live courses and online courses (such as CLI) to equip pastors and other ministry leaders within churches. We also coach church planters and offer an array of services to help new church plants launch. Our mentoring program is only a fraction of the cost of seminary, while being more wholistic in its approach.
Please note: WE ARE ONLY CHARTERED TO WORK WITH PARTNERS IN THE UNITED STATES.

“Near to the Brokenhearted: A Journey from Loss to Calling”
I am Charlotte Cross—a wife, mother, and Licensed Minister through Christian Leaders Institute, serving in Fresno, California. I wear many hats for our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, and each one is stitched with threads of grief, grace, and redemption.
I wish to serve as a minister to those who feel unseen, unheard, and undone by loss. My heart beats for grieving parents , those who carry the ache of children they can no longer hold. I know what it feels like to lose a part of yourself that no one can ever give back. I know the quiet courage it takes to survive each day without their presence.

This is my calling: to walk with others through the valley, to speak life into broken places, and to remind every grieving parent that God sees, God heals, and God still has a plan.
