In 2015, after the death of the national pastor of the Mountain of Praise Churches in November 2014, Ed was invited to be a part of a team to go to Malawi. The goal was to hold a brief conference at Bangla, Malawi; and to ultimately select the next national pastor. Convening the 40 churches in Malawi, Ed was privileged to meet and then select Obed Ghente (through a divine revelation), as the next national pastor over Malawi.

Ed’s first invitation to Zimbabwe came in 2016 as his team endeavored to touch the Mountain of Praise Churches by conducting multiple regional conferences. The first convention ever for Zimbabwe was in Chimanimani, in the southern part of the nation. Being their first conference, it was very well attended, and attested to many miracles as men, women and children pressed to the front for a touch from God. He met each individual and many were healed and set free.

Mountain of Praise is a multinational group of indigenous churches under the leadership of Antonio Rego. Ed and his wife, Sharon, had been supporting the churches and orphan work through Tanneken Fros and TCF Mercy for a number of years.
