Reach the Nations

Posted on Jun 1, 2025 in BLOG |

Wow Church believes in outreach and evangelism, which they are commanded by Jesus to build His church and to see the lost saved. In that regard, we are happy to be a major contributor to Sean and Kim Fliehman as they are going into the nations to spread the good news of the gospel. Here is the account of their most recent trip into Armenia, for which your offering dollars go to support. They once more participated with long-time missionaries to Armenia, Bob and Wanda Mills of Crosspoint International.

God’s Hand Is on Armenia- land of ancient faith, breathtaking beauty, and resilient people. On this journey, we joined with Crosspoint International and witnessed a powerful outpouring of God’s love and the tangible presence of the Holy Spirit. This marks our third mission to Armenia, and it’s only the beginning. With each visit, we gain deeper insight into the spiritual landscape, the heartbeat of the churches, and the unique needs of Armenia.

We were honored to participate in a three-day Love Camp, where our hearts were deeply moved by the incredible courage and joy of children living with physical and mental challenges. Their resilience and pure spirits reminded us of God’s love in action. Sean spent time with a precious young girl named Miriam, who radiated joy as they played ball and soaked up the sunshine during gentle strolls in her wheelchair. One of the most powerful encounters came with a 15-year-old young woman whose condition causes her to appear as a small child. Doctors have said that when her growing internal organs outpace her underdeveloped body, she will die, barring a miracle. But God had a word for her. Sean spoke life and hope over her, declaring Psalm 118:17: “I shall not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord.” Her mother wept with gratitude, clinging to the promise of life over death.

Another moment of divine appointment came when Sean counseled a grieving mother, helping her embrace a deeper understanding of healing and to believe again that her little girl would one day walk.

Empowering Leaders. Proclaiming Christ. Impacting Nations.

During our time in Armenia, Kim had the powerful opportunity to share her testimony at two women’s events. She spoke on the transformative journey of forgiveness and how she came to know the love of the Father by changing the lens through which she saw God. Her message deeply resonated with many women, who left encouraged, empowered, and more deeply connected to the heart of the Father.

Meanwhile, Sean had the privilege of preaching at an international church and at Noah’s Ark Church, located in Ararat, near the mountain where Noah’s Ark rests. His messages focused on the call to evangelism and the urgency of sharing Jesus with those in our daily lives: our families, friends, students, coworkers, and communities. These sermons were translated into Armenian, Russian, Farsi, Dutch, Chinese, and English, reaching hearts across cultures and languages.

At Imprint International, our vision is to raise Spirit—led leaders within the church and in every sphere of life. We believe leadership is not confined to a pulpit or a title. True leaders are men, women, and youth who know the way, go the way, and show the way—ultimately, the way to Jesus Christ. Whether in schools, families, workplaces, ministries, or the marketplace, we are equipping believers to stand boldly for the Gospel and lead with integrity and purpose. We believe the mission begun by Gregory the Illuminator, Armenia’s first evangelist, must be reignited in our generation. And this calling isn’t ours alone—it’s a shared commission. When you partner with us in prayer, support, or by going, you become part of God’s unfolding story in the nations. Let’s complete the Great Commission—together.

The Power of Story

Posted on May 5, 2025 in BLOG |

The Power of Story

There’s something deeply compelling about a story. It connects us, moves us, and invites us into something greater than ourselves. Jesus understood this better than anyone. He didn’t just teach with facts—He told stories. Parables were His way of illustrating the beauty, mystery, and truth of the Kingdom of God. Through the story of the prodigal son, the lost sheep, the good Samaritan, and many others, Jesus gave us windows into the heart of God.

But the power of story doesn’t stop there. God continues to write stories in our lives today—stories of redemption, healing, breakthrough, and salvation. Each testimony is more than a personal victory; it’s a declaration of God’s faithfulness. When we share what God has done for us, we remind others that He can do it for them, too. His promises aren’t limited to one person—they are for all of us. As Scripture says, “For all the promises of God in Him are yes, and in Him Amen” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

Your story matters. It’s not just your own; it’s ours. And ultimately, it’s His.

When we speak about what God has done, we proclaim His goodness to the world. We give hope to the weary, faith to the doubting, and light to those still walking in darkness. Each story is a thread in the greater tapestry of grace that God is weaving through time.

So don’t hide your story. Whether it’s messy or miraculous, it carries the fingerprints of God. Your testimony could be the very thing someone else needs to hear. Because in the end, our stories point to the greatest story ever told—the story of a God who loves, redeems, and never stops pursuing His people.

Wow Church-A Faith Church

Posted on Mar 31, 2025 in BLOG, General | Tags: Believe the Bible, faith, Hope, Salvation, trust god

Faith. Our Church is a faith-preaching and believing church. Scripture tells us that faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things not yet seen. Faith is the train that moves along the track of hope. Hope is an expectation that something good will happen. Faith goes a step further and trusts in the Lord that it will happen and is already on its way. You see, faith is not believing God for something He will do but trusting in the work Jesus has already done. His work is finished now, it is up to us to have faith in it.

We don’t just preach a feel-good sermon or some inspirational thoughts; we preach the Word of God, which must be believed. At our church, you can expect to see your needs met, and your future will be greater than your past. Your best days are still in front of you! You see, faith is a choice. When you align your will with your faith and choose to believe in God, you will see the extraordinary, the supernatural, and the miraculous.

You must have faith in the salvation of Jesus Christ to be born again.

You must have faith in the promises of God to see them happen in your life.

You must have faith that God loves you and has a plan for your life.

We believe God, no matter the circumstances or the outcome. That being said, when you truly believe God, you will see His power and presence in your life.

“So now wrap your heart tightly around the hope that lives within us, knowing that God always keeps his promises!”-Hebrews 10:23 TPT

Christians are Called to Bravery

Posted on Feb 23, 2025 in BLOG, General | Tags: Bravery, Courage, Labels off, Overcoming fear, Responsibility, Success

God Commands Bravery

We don’t think about this enough. God has given us the ability to overcome fear, and overcoming fear is called being brave. Here are four thoughts on being brave and walking in courage.

Being brave is taking action despite fear.

Bravery is not grounded in our ability, skill, or courage. Courage does not come from within us; it comes from the Holy Spirit working and moving through us.

Only be strong and very courageous, being careful to do according to all the law that Moses my servant commanded you. Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may have good success[a] wherever you go.- Joshua 1:7-8

Success formula. Bravery + Obey the Word = Success. If there ever were a formula for success in the Bible it would be this. Bravery is a key component to seeing success in your life.

Bravery to Change.

Many of us are willing to settle for the good. Your life is good. Your job is good. Your kids are good. Your church is good. Your existence is good. Existing is good. The problem is there is a gulf between where you are and who you want to be. You are not seeing the results; you have a mindset gap between scarcity and abundance. You need to come face to face with your bravery and decide to change.

Bravery to Take the Labels Off

Don’t conform to the corruption of this world’s standards, but instead, renew your mind by replacing labels with truth. Part of being a victim is accepting the labels of man that have been put on you You might have been told by a parent, teacher, or coach that you were “stupid, ugly, slow, worthless, will never amount to anything,” how about “can’t you be more like your sibling?” etc.

It is time to take those labels off, reject the lie, and put on the labels of the truth of God’s Word. “More than a conqueror. I have the hope of glory in me. I have the mind of Christ. I lack no good thing. I can do all things through Christ.”

Bravery Means Responsibility

A common phrase that people say when they don’t want to take the burden of responsibility for growth or change is “Fake it till you make it.” Don’t fake it till you make it; get better, and you’ll make it. The choice you make makes you.

Responsibility isn’t easy, fun, or glamorous, but it is necessary.

As you accept responsibility in your life, it gives you more and more power. Responsibility will give you the power to change your life from where you are and help guide you to where you want to be. A natural leader doesn’t pass responsibility but accepts it and then makes it work for them.

No Compromise and No Surrender

Posted on Jan 27, 2025 in BLOG, General |

“God is the One who knows what’s right for me. God is pure love, and I am the focus of His love. God will never tell me to do anything that is detrimental. Whatever He says will always end up best. Therefore, no matter what He says, I gladly choose to obey.”-John Bevere.

The fear of the Lord is obedience. When you obey God, you demonstrate awesome respect for God. Noah feared God. Abraham feared God. David feared God. Jesus feared God. The fear of the Lord brought success and victory, whereas disobedience to the Lord brings disaster. Obedience to God should not be based on fear or feeling disgruntled like God is holding out on you. Obedience to God should be done in the knowledge that God’s commands are based on the love of God. Don’t accept life below God’s standards. His life is abundant. God is infinite in wisdom and is the source of love. When He commands something, you know that it is rooted in what is best for you.

When you compromise with the devil, when you surrender your faith and your Godly standards, you fall prey to the enemy and his plan for your life. A foothold can become a stronghold if you think about it long enough. Internal escalation is a tactic of the enemy. Cast down every thought that exalts itself above the knowledge of Christ! Here are some tactics of the enemy designed to get you to compromise and surrender.

The enemy will try to get you to question what you believe.
The enemy will try to drive a wedge between you and God.
The enemy will try to drive a wedge between you and those who encourage you.
Don’t become isolated by the enemy and become his prey.

For a greater illustration of the importance of obedience and not compromising your faith, read the story of Hezekiah, the 13th King of Judah. ( 2 Kings 16:20-20:21 and 2 Chronicles 28:27-32:33 )

Thus Hezekiah did throughout all Judah, and he did what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God-2 Chronicles 31:20

Christmas At The Movies

Posted on Dec 18, 2024 in BLOG |

“EVERY TIME I GO TO A MOVIE, IT’S MAGIC, NO MATTER WHAT THE MOVIE’S ABOUT.”-Steven Spielberg

We all cherish stories. Even Jesus knows this as that was the primary way of teaching. Movies are one of the world’s favorite mediums for telling stories. They make us laugh, cry, fear, cheer, and think. Christmas movies are especially loved by audiences and usually render viewings every year. Films like Home Alone, The Polar Express, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas, and many others capture our hearts and imaginations. ( I also suggest the new film by Dallas Jenkins that just came out this year, “The Greatest Christmas Pageant Ever.” It is fantastic. ) The reflection of the spirit of the season can be witnessed in Christmas movies, sharing stories about family, being alone, choosing to believe, changing your heart, and, most importantly, discovering the true meaning of Christmas. Thank you, Linus, for that.

Thanksgiving a Key to Grace

Posted on Nov 28, 2024 in BLOG |

Thanksgiving is a powerful tool given to us by the Lord. Thanksgiving is the key to the presence of God. The Bible shares with us in the book of Psalms that we should enter Heaven’s gates with Thanksgiving on our lips in our hearts. ( Psalm 100 ) Why is this the president of the Lord? Having a posture of thanksgiving ushers in an attitude of humility and gratefulness. The Bible also tells us that God gives grace to the humble. ( James 4:6 ) Scripture informs us that the throne of God is a throne of Grace.

As we enter the throne room of Grace we do so by humility and thanksgiving so that we are in position and with the right heart and mindset to receive an abundance of grace from our good God. You can’t enter the throne of grace haughtily or with a spirit of complaining. God, after all, resists the proud. Thanksgiving is the usher, the bellhop to the throne of grace. The precious blood of Jesus provides for grace of course. We come to Jesus with a heart of humility and He pours out grace to cover our sins, and to empower us to live our lives for Him. We at Wow Church invite you to celebrate Thanksgiving with us as we give thanks to our God for the abundance of grace and the forgiveness of our sins.

Let’s read what Paul wrote in the letter to the church at Colosse,” And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses, 14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.”

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and pass the cranberry sauce.

Vote by Biblical Values

Posted on Oct 28, 2024 in BLOG, General | Tags: christianworldview

In the year 1794 founding father Thomas Jefferson, one of the greatest thinkers ever, understood and fought for the idea that not just rich landowners should be allowed to vote but the privilege to vote belonged to all people. “The influence over government must be shared among all the people.”

People have fought, died, and shed blood, sweat, and tears to earn the right to have their voices heard. As an American, it is our privilege to vote. This should not be taken for granted. Freedom can be voted away but it must be won back with the firing of guns. For many across the globe that privilege has been stripped from them. The writer of the Wow Church blog lived in China for several years. I spoke with a friend there about the voting system in America and he lamented that he has never voted. I can testify that they would love the opportunity to vote for who they deemed appropriate to govern their nation.

As a follower of Jesus, you may think to yourself, “I don’t like either candidate for President or most of the other candidates!” Our honest response is we can’t blame you for that thought. The business of politics is dirty, producing people who don’t always align truly to our Christian faith or values. Sometimes leeway must be given as we don’t yet live under the perfect rule and harmony of Jesus Christ. If you don’t vote then non-believers who don’t have your values will vote and they will vote for candidates that are opposed to your Christian worldview.

The Jesus Reboot

Posted on Sep 29, 2024 in BLOG, General |

Imagine with me, your computer or an appliances that is still, sluggish, stuck, not working at full capacity. Even our bodies or minds can get this way. Our minds get in a fog. Our bodies feel sluggish. Any one wake up in the morning and wish you could get rebooted? That’s the first response right? Unplug it, restart it, rest it, or nourish it. Many things in life need a reboot. Our Spirit is no different. In truth the nation, the church and individuals need a Jesus reboot. We live in a nation and world that no longer values, life, family, traditional values, God, the church etc. The church has watered down the gospel to try and appeal to younger generations and so forth.

The Kingdom of God

Posted on Aug 24, 2024 in BLOG, General |

Three Ways to Participate in the Kingdom of God

For the past few weeks Pastor Will has been preaching on The Kingdom of God. That’s a broad spectrum topic that’s a mile wide and a mile deep; but he is breaking it down for us to digest. If you missed any of it, you can watch or listen on Podbean or YouTube.

Today though I want to share with you some thoughts on your participation in the Kingdom of God. Jesus did His part. He took on his back the sin of the world, yours and mine and paid the price in blood. He rose from the grave and is seated in Heavenly places at the right hand of the Father. This is not a spectator Kingdom, no it’s a get involved, don’t hold back, sold out, operating in grace kind of Kingdom. The Holy Spirit empowers us to take charge of in the full resources of the Kingdom of God. You see we are called to be salt and light to the world. Salt makes things better, light makes things brighter.

The Hope of the World

Posted on Jul 30, 2024 in BLOG, General |

The Hope of the World

What is the hope of all the world? Is it green agendas? Clean energy? More social tolerance? Is it more education? Is it more government programs? Is it more medical knowledge and supplies?

No the hope of all the world is a organic organization that started 2000 years ago. It is commonly known today as the local church. You see Jesus didn’t start an earthly kingdom. The Kingdom of God is here and now amongst us. Jesus instituted and empowered a local body of believers to carry out his love, compassion, commands and he’s given us the Holy Spirit in order to change this world.

The King Returns: Jesus is Coming

click here for a free end-times booklet

When Pastor Will started this series there was snow flying around our Bowersville church and now we have reached the start of summer! This series has been worth the length. All Christians need to have a basic understanding of the End Times events, the calendar, and the book of Revelation. Please take the time to download the free PDF book in the link above to learn more on this subject. Ultimately the book of Revelation is not about future historical events but the revelation of Jesus Christ as King of kings and Lord of lords! Friends and readers you need to understand one primary thing and that Jesus is coming again as He promised.
