Thanks for your prayers for my ministry at Fellowship Bible Church in Fort Gratiot, MI. I enjoyed getting to know Angela Frederick’s (from Mt. Calvary in Greenville, SC) parents. On Saturday night we watched a good movie entitled “Beyond the Next Mountain.” It’s about a missionary who went into the hills of Burma and sowed [...]

Please check my “praise/prayer” page for updates. If you are linguistically inclined, you might want to check out my new post on the “Translator’s Page” where I discuss classifying the world’s languages. Even if you’re not linguistically inclined, you will gain an appreciation for how complex God made the world’s languages at the Tower of Babel [...]
A Profitable Day at Trinity

I had the privilege of ministering at Trinity Baptist Church in Imlay City, MI, yesterday. The church is pastored by Dan Lashley, so I enjoyed seeing his son Jason, who was a former student of mine at BJU. It was encouraging to see how Jason has been pouring his energies into his father’s church. I [...]

The Lord has graciously protected me in all of my travels this winter, a winter that many here are saying has been exceptionally high for the snow fall. This past Thursday I experienced my worst travel difficulty so far–a flat tire. Thankfully, the flat tire was in the rear. I was able to pull over and change [...]

You would ask that question too if you had died of a heart attack and then were brought back to life. That’s the situation of a guy I met on visitation this morning. I was able to spend more than an hour trying to help him see that God brought him back so that he [...]
Officially a Michigander or Michiganian
