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. [...]

Faith Baptist Church, pastored by Tim Collard, in Pekin, IL, voted last week to take me on for support, bringing my support level up to 75%! I look forward to many years of partnership with this solid church. The people encouraged me greatly when I was there for a second visit on March 27, evidencing [...]

The Lord is answering our prayers in regard to my support. My mom told me that my sending church prayed specifically for me on Wednesday, and the Lord has responded. Three churches have assured me this week of future support–Faith Baptist in Pekin, IL; Walnut Creek Baptist in Erie, PA; and Ashley Baptist in Belding, [...]
Aren’t you already full-time?

Sometimes I wonder about the answer to this question. Others also seem to wonder–a lady at my sending church forgot to include me among the missionaries on deputation, because she thought I was already finished. She knew that I was already quite active in the ministry, so she assumed I had finished deputation. But, o [...]

A current supporting couple decided to double their support for me, so now I’m at 73%! Praise the Lord! It’s encouraging to see how the Lord is answering our prayers. I’m at a public library in Geneva, IL, having just finished an encouraging Men’s Retreat at Calvary Baptist Church in Geneva, a supporting church. It [...]
March Prayer Letter

I’ve been delinquent in posting something to my blog, but it’s not without good excuses. I spent much of Thu-Mon driving (Winchester, VA, to Findlay, OH; Findlay, OH, to Sterling Heights, MI; Sterling Heights to Grand Rapids, MI; Grand Rapids, MI, to Grand Rapids, OH; Grand Rapids, OH, back to Grand Rapids, MI). But now [...]

The 70′s are already proving themselves to be much more friendly than the 60′s. As of today, I am now at 71% because of the increase of support from a family. Praise the Lord! I look forward to seeing how the Lord will continue to provide, because I know so many are praying fervently for [...]
Goodbye 60s!

On May 18, 2010, I reported that my support level leaped into the 60′s with the addition of Colonial Hills Baptist Church in Indianapolis, IN. I had no idea that my stay in the 60′s would last 9 months. And I didn’t anticipate that the 60′s would actually be 15 percentage points long. Because of [...]
Requesting Increased Intercession

I just sent this out to my email contacts, and I thought it would be good to post it on my blog too: Dear family and friends, This week I began making plans to extend my deputation into Minnesota in the fall. The fall marks a significant point in my deputation, because it indicates that [...]

The year has already started (and I’ve already finished one book, The Text of the Old Testament), but I wanted to preview the new year in my blog. One January 1, I reviewed the past year and established resolutions and goals for the new year. Pastor Minnick asked each of us to prayerfully consider what [...]
