Russell & Sylvia Evenson believe strongly in prayer, revival and the presence of God being restored to the Body of Christ. Their passion is to bring the power and presence of God back to this last day generation.

Hey Dudes! We are Jeffrey and Becki South. Jeff is a retired Navy Submariner (22 yrs.). If you’ve seen The Hunt for Red October and you remember Jonesy, the Sonar Dude - that’s what Jeff did. Becki (the Admiral) married Jeff, out of pity (LOL), when he was in his 3rd year of Naval service and is a card carrying member of the elite, yet unofficial, "Military Spouses" club. She also happens to be the editor and producer of WOW Center's "Reaching The Harvest" radio and TV program.
We are not the permissive types, yet we know our role is to love people, share Yeshua's salvation story, then let the Holy Spirit do the rest. "Work out your own salvation..." Phil. 2:12 We have been WOW Center members since ’92 largely because this congregation loves people no matter what. What better representation of Christ can there be?!?
Favorite books: Jeff: "True Spirituality" by Francis Schaffer and "Rogue Warrior" by Richard Marcinko. Becki: A tie between "Little Women" and "The Grapes of Wrath".
