Here we are again

The team all arrived in Ghana safely.  The only hiccup was that Craig Barker’s luggage did not make the transfer from Frankfurt.  We are praying that it gets here by tomorrow.  Please pray unto that end. We traveled the way from Accra today and are now in the area near Mepe.  The hotel accommodations are adequate and we have all settled into the routine which will be ours for the next two weeks. Tonight, after dinner, we met for a prayer meeting with our Ghana team members.  This was a wonderful time when we sought the leadership of God upon...

Team arrives safely in Frankfurt

The weather in the US did not hinder our team from arriving safety in Germany.  Team members Mark and Brianna Chase were forced to re-route but still arrived in plenty of time to meet the rest of us in the Frankfurt airport to make the connection for the flight to Ghana.  This was certainly a testimony to God’s grace, because I learned (upon my arrival in Germany) that many US airports were shut-down because of winter weather.  The work of the ministry will not be stopped! The spiritual warfare has been intense in the build-up to this project.  Nearly every...

Straight From My Heart…

Ephesians 3:8 is a remarkably humbling statement.  Paul wrote, “To me, the very least of all saints, this grace was given, to preach to the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ,” 
I have been mediating on this verse and have been thrilled by it’s truth.  When I pause and remember the great privilege God has given me and I overwhelmed by the responsibility that goes along with it.  Now, as perhaps never before I am aware of the divine assignment that God has given me.  Honestly, I cannot fathom why God has entrusted me with teaching His word to others. ...

Join Me in the Holy Land!

Straight From My Heart…

I want you to consider joining me in Israel this year! For as long as I can remember people have been asking me about hosting a trip to the Holy Land.  Never before has the time seemed right. Over the past couple of years my dear friend, Rev. Jeff Andler and I have been talking about doing this and now the time seems right. Often imitated, but never duplicated is this life-changing experience of walking in the exact places of Biblical characters.  I know you will be blessed by this experience! While some of you are asking about the safety...

Happy New Year! (What will we do with the opportunities?)

The Lord has given us a start to a New Year.  It is by His marvelous grace that we are able to walk through this door of possibility and opportunity.  Only the Lord knows all that He has in store for us in the coming days. As we begin this New Year we must make deliberate and willful decisions as to how we will accept the opportunities for service and ministry.  In the midst of a changing world -- politically, socially, economically, and spiritually each of us will either sit and fret or we will pray and serve.  In 2...
