Serving, Strengthening and Equipping the Body of Christ
Western Wall, Jerusalem, Israel
JERUSALEM, Israel
It was a pleasure to get to know Charley and Rebecca Christie, our friends and the founders of B’Seder Ministries. Following the Lord’s calling, they arrived in Israel with just their bags and seeking the place where God would place them to serve. Having heard of my heart issues, they felt the prompting of the Holy Spirit to come up to Jerusalem and become part of our community at King of Kings Jerusalem. They served on the worship and prayer team as well as being cell group leaders in their home. They were a great encouragement over the course of their 3 years here serving many ministries throughout Israel personally and through their relationship with Youth With a Mission teams from around the world in Jerusalem. Our only disappointment was when they informed us they were being called out of Jerusalem to Scotland. However, it was an honor to join them in Scotland at Ambassador House and share the love of Jesus with new friends from the Highlands! Godspeed from their church family in Jerusalem to continue the work of the Lord in this new season! – Pastor Wayne Hilsden, Co-Founder of King of Kings Community & Ministries / Founder & President of FIRM.
in Israel, Ambassador Trust provided teams of volunteers from continents around the world "to fill in the gap" to both the arab and israeli believers of jerusalem and israel. We were able to serve the International Christian Embassy of Jerusalem, King of Kings Jerusalem, Musalaha (Reconciliation), and Beit Hanina School for Arab Christian students. this is a short list of the many churches and para-church ministries in the Holy Land served. Our three years of ministry in Israel were provided at a time which the greater church was at a very weakened state in great need of strengthening and encouragement.

Ambassador Trust's primary ministry was teaching /preaching throughout the churches in Western Ukraine with an emphasis on unity and the presence of God through the Holy Spirit. Also, we spent significant time teaching leadership at the University of ternopil.We also taught, supported, and volunteered at Bethlehem orphanage. It was during these years in Ukraine that God gave us our adopted son, John, to bring into our family.(Seated on Charley's lap)

I thank my God every time I remember the Christies as they followed The Lord to the Highlands of Scotland, an area steeped in ‘tradition and religion’ ….We were blessed so much by the ‘Freedom' they brought to us and the ‘Kingdom Seeds’ that they planted are bearing fruit even to this day in many different parts of Scotland as The Lord has seen fit to scatter us…. I personally have been released to preach and minister the Word of God to different churches and groups and can trace part of that to the Ministry and Work of Ambassador Trust… For the body is not one member, but many.
May God richly bless you as you join with others advancing His Kingdom….whoever the Lord sends you to co-labour with…may they be truly blessed and have a sense of being chosen as we in Scotland were. Haste Ye Back…….. Jackie Macdonald - Aberdeen
In Scotland, Ambassador Trust provided a retreat and conference facility in the Highlands serving the pastoral and lay leadership. Over the 3 years there, WE provided many discipleship conferences and weekly renewal gatherings which attracted Scots from a radius of about 150 miles. We also led many small groups and mentored individuals seeking a more intimate walk with Jesus. The "church" at that time was in need of renewal, equipping and encouragement.
In addition, we opened a local teenage "doss" (chill) place called the upper room to introduce the Word of God and God's love for them.
Lifework Leadership Class of 2015
usa - jacksonville, fl
It was a pleasure having Ambassador Trust and the Christies join the mission of Lifework Leadership Jacksonville at a time that it needed strengthening. Their dedication and commitment to serve the greater Jacksonville Florida market area with the nine month Lifework curriculum was exemplary and as a result strengthened the affiliate to a point of sustainability. It was my honor to partner with them to build the Lifework Jacksonville community from 35 executive leaders to 260 over the course of seven years. The impact of having these executive leaders integrating their faith at work has significantly expanded the Kingdom of Heaven in Jacksonville. We wish them God speed in their new call to share the Lifework message and to serve the greater Body of Christ in the New Zealand/ Australia region. Steve French - President, Lifework Leadership
In the U.S.a, Ambassador Trust provided leadership development services for the Christian leaders in the for profit and non-profit Jacksonville metro area through Lifework leadership First Coast. These executives now numbering 300 experienced an extraordinary 8 month leadership curriculum with Jesus Christ as the leadership model. The "Journey" is transformational and city changing. When taking on this project Lifework was in need of a transitional "new beginning".
Other Ambassador TrusT projects: Provided Executive leadership for Project SOS (strengthening our students), Global Day of Prayer -Worldwide Broadcast. Continue to serve Gordon-conwell seminary advisory board and local church leadership (board of trustees and elder).
