From a missionary friend in Harbin, China ( www.projectchina.org/blog) What Can Youth Pastors Do to Mobilize for Missions? It is an interesting question to sit and think about, “what can Youth Pastors do to mobilize for missions?” Another way to say it could be “what can Youth pastors do to prepare and organize the next generation [...]

Have you ever had one of those moments? One minute you are plugging along, doing what you know to do, focused entirely on what YOU are doing, what YOU are planning, what YOU want to see happen, and the next minute, God smacks you upside the head and reminds you that He’s totally in control. [...]

We were recently in a church that prided itself in not being the “Church of the Don’t”, meaning that the Christian life is more about what you what you DO than what you DON’T do. I love the fact the the Christian life is not about running AWAY from something, but running TO Jesus, who [...]

Yep, that’s a weird title. I’ll be the first to admit it. But I’m going to make you read the post to find out what it means. This past week we got to be a part of the second annual missions revival at Emmanuel Baptist Church of Hooksett NH. From day one I was super impressed [...]

I have truly been blessed with such an awesome husband.  On our way from Cincinnati to NH, he made a point to stop in one of my favorite places, New York City.  He’s not a big fan of driving in all that traffic but he loves me. I am also very thankful that God gave [...]

The missionary family that we have been working has been back in the [...]

I love visiting churches where it is obvious that God is at work. Yesterday we got to visit Loudonville Baptist Temple in OH, and the story of the church is just awesome! Pastor Koehler started this church almost 9 years ago, and had to build a new building to fit everyone within just a few [...]

My pastor is a funny guy, but he’s funniest when he’s grouchy. Last year on our survey trip to Barcelona, we decided on the last day to go check out the tiny city state of Andorra, up in the beautiful Pyrenees mountain range. Pastor Gardner was sick, away from his wife for about a month, [...]

Dear Praying Friends, Where to begin? It has been a full month, and as always, full of God’s blessings! One of my favorite verses in the Bible is Eph 3:8, which says: “Unto me, who am less than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach among the Gentiles the [...]

Wow, what a week. After a couple weeks of meetings in LA (the swampy LA, not the glitzy one), we headed up to Fort Bluff TN for the Our Generation youth camp, and it was AMAZING. God really moved and did some amazing things in people’s hearts through the camp. One of our missionaries in [...]
