Dale Boehs began his walk with Jesus at the young age of 5 years old, and through out his youth years attended the Church of the Nazarene. At the age of 16 received God's call to the ministry, and a call to the mission field.
In 1976 Dale entered the Nazarene Bible College in Colorado Springs, Colorado, and received a Degree in Theology. In 1979 began his new walk with God as a pastor of a Nazarene Church in northern California.
In the 12 years that followed, Dale served in God's army with grace and blessing as a pastor and teacher of the Word of God.
In 1991 Dale and Beth were married, and began their missionary journey together.
Very early in their walk with the Lord Jesus Christ, they both have had a strong call to the mission field. In April 1992 they received a call to the former Soviet Union, and received missionary instruction and teaching from a missions sending organization, Calvary International, in Jacksonville Flordia.
In August 1992 Dale and Beth began their journey as missionaries to Lativa, to teach in a Calvary International Bible School. After 3 months they received the pastorate of two Churches; Latvian speaking Church, with 150 members; and a Russian speaking Church, with 250 members.
After serving the Churches in Lativa for two years, and discipling two national pastors to replace them as pastors, Dale and Beth received a call to pastor a large Church in Kharkov Ukraine. A great awakening of God's word was being poured out by the Spirit of God in the Ukraine. It was not unusual to see 50 to 100 new converts receive Jesus Christ as their saviour each week. The church in Kharkov (Kharkov Christian Church) has grown to date, to more than 3000 in attendance under the guidance and diraction of Pastor Peter Kovalenko.
Feeling a strong call of the Holy Spirit to go to Russia, in early 1997 Dale and Beth move to the city of Vladivostock, in the far east of Russia. Vladivostock was for many years a closed Soviet city to all foreigners, and had only been open for 6 months when they decided to go and minister gospel of Jesus Christ. While in Vladivostock for one year, Dale and Beth started one church in the city of Bolshow Kamen (Big Rock). For the time they were in the far east of Russia, they ministered to, prayed for, and helped local pastors with their gifts of teaching and preaching.
Late 1998, the call to return to Kharkov Ukraine was strong on the heart of Dale. Kharkov Christian Church had now 7 seven sister churches which were submitted and under the authority of Paster Peter Kovalenko. Giving full attention to the council and help of the sister churches, Dale became part of the pastoral staff of Khakov Christian Church.
In 1999 Dale accepted the call to pastor a church in Evpatoria - Crimea, Ukraine. As senior pastor at "Goodnews Church" in Evpatoria, the church grew in 3 years, from 250 members to 600. Crimea - Evpatoria is a strong Muslim part of the Ukraine, and Dale and Beth say many miracles in which God performed in the Muslim community.
2 Pet 1:10-11
"Therefore, my brothers, be all the more eager to make your calling and election sure. For if you do these things, you will never fall, and you will receive a rich welcome into the eternal kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." (NIV)
Dale and Beth have seen over 5000 people except Jesus Christ in their ministry. They have discipled 7 young men and 2 women which are in full time ministry. Dale and Beth have seen the dead raised, blind eyes opened, deaf people receive hearing, and people in wheel chairs walk. They have experienced revival on a large scale.
Dale and Beth Boehs are supported with prayer and financial gifts by individuals who believe in the preaching and teaching of the word of God in the Ukraine and the former Soviet Union. They have given their hearts and lives and all for the furtherance of the Kingdom of God as missionaries in the former Soviet Union.
