On last night’s program, the words of Acts 13:2-4a were written: As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted, the Holy Ghost said, Separate me Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. And when they had fasted and prayed, and laid their hands on them, they sent them away. So they, being sent [...]

Far beyond what I expected, we are on track to finish the Psalms by Thursday. We checked 30 pages today, the most of any day, and have only 45 left to go. The only issues that might slow us down is that Daniel has a slight cold and I have a slight fever. I’m not [...]

I did a count of how many churches I’ve been to (only a few twice). Since Sept 2007, when I began deputation, I’ve been to 163 churches. I have 7 more to visit between now and March 2012. There are 21 churches supporting me at an average of $104 per church. There are 17 individuals/families [...]

Dear Family and Friends, W. Garden Blaikie chronicles David Livingstone’s persistence to penetrate the interior of Africa, where no white people had ever gone. The biography, The Personal Life of David Livingstone, highlights Livingstone’s love for God and love for man, the two greatest motives for missions. Livingstone sought to free the Africans, both from [...]

I’m thankful for the good services I enjoyed at Windsor Baptist Church in Loves Park, IL. Pastor K.D. Bodwell invited me back with the hopes that a second visit would stir even more interest in my ministry. That appears to have happened, because many said that they hope to see me back. One dear lady [...]

I misunderstood yesterday’s good news about an increase in support, and the news was even better than I thought. My support has increased to 82%!
8 Sleeping Accommodations in 11 Nights

After so many different places to slumber, it was good to be back in my bed last night. I learned on a tour in Philly last Saturday that it was Benjamin Franklin who said, “Fish and visitors smell after three days.” That’s been the maxim that has governed my deputation arrangements, but I think this [...]

Worthington Baptist Church in Worthington, PA, voted recently to begin supporting me in 2012! I’m thankful for this new partnership with Pastor Simpson and his church. The history that connects me to this church began around 2003, when Pastor Simpson heard Dr. Hantz Bernard speak on the ministry of Bibles International at a church conference. [...]

Walnut Creek Baptist Church, pastored by Fred Ayers, in Erie, PA, voted last night to take me on for support! I greatly enjoyed my fellowship with them when I stayed at their missionary lodge in late March and early April. I presented my ministry on March 30 but stayed in Erie for about 2 weeks. [...]
