Together Again

Greetings from Mexico, first of all we want to thank each and everyone of you who have prayerfully and financially partnered with us and fulfilling the great commission. We are four weeks into the Calvary School of Missions in Mexico. It has been an absolutely incredible time of personal growth and great challenge for both of us. Some thought we were crazy stepping out and […]

The Gospel Must Go Forth

The Gospel Must Go Forth

I am so grateful that the gospel of Jesus Christ is not on lockdown. In a crazy world and crazy times we have a future and a hope. The future and that hope is based in the salvation of our souls and the reconciliation to God through the cross of Jesus Christ. Faith in his shed blood for the forgiveness of our sins is the […]

God Doesn’t Do Social Distancing

Psalm 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength a very present help in time of trouble…“ God doesn’t do social distancing and I am so glad about that. The whole world is willing to recognize that we are in very different times than ever before. We are all willing to recognize these are very troubled times yet still I find too few who are willing […]

Expanding Horizons

Expanding Horizons

Funny thing about horizons… They have a way of continuing to expand. This year has gotten off to a great start. Jenn and I were able to attend the Calvery Chapel missions conference which is always been a great treat for me. To be able to share it with my bride and ministry partner this year was like having my cake and eating it too. Being […]

Acceptance is the Key, Surrender is the Answer

Happy New Year everyone. It’s hard enough to believe we’re heading into a new year let alone a new decade. My hope and prayers are that we would all seek the Lord with our whole heart leaning not on our own understanding but acknowledging Him in all that we do knowing that He will direct our path. December 2019 closed out in an incredibly unexpected […]

A Very Different Season

A Very Different Season

Many of you maybe wondering what has gone on since the 2019 Calvary School of Missions where I was fortunate to be able to lead the on-ground operations of the missions training school launched by Saving Grace World Missions. I do have to confess since then it has been quite an interesting season. For a period of that time, quite frankly, I was asking myself […]

An Unexpected Twist to Missionary Care

I must admit that up until January of this year I have had a very limited view of missionary care.Having just concluded a six week trip to Mexico where I had the privilege of leading the Calvary School of Missions, I struggle to find the words to express the joy and growth brought about through this experience. It has been difficult at times as I […]

It Just Keeps Getting Better

It Just Keeps Getting Better

Hello everyone, we had a wonderful Mission trip to Peru where I was able to be a part of the leadership team for our high school and young adults mission trip. We spent 14 days journeying to Peru ministering there and returning. Calvary Chapel Huacho was our receiving church and ministry partners on the trip. Pastor Craig Tippie and his crew there took fantastic care […]

South for the Winter

South for the Winter

South, South, South….. Some birds fly south for the winter, some retired folk go south for the winter and that’s exactly what I found myself doing. Granted I’m not retired nor am I vacationing or engaged in any other activities the birds might be engaged in down South, but I found myself continuing to follow the call of the Lord upon my life in the […]

Humility In Need

Over the last year and a half, I’ve gotten many lessons and realized more and more the lack of humility in my life. One of the biggest exposers of this issue has been need. Having stepped out of my career and ending the paycheck, I never realized how much I solved my problems by just buying what I wanted/needed. I always sought to honor God […]
