Every time I read the Spanish news I see how badly the Gospel is needed in a society that wants nothing to do with God. This is an incredible example: a Spanish company is offering the “answer” to a 25% unemployment level with “professional prostitution courses”. CS Lewis once said “When Satan reminds me that [...]

Your daughter: Yells “we’re home!” when you pull up to a hotel Thinks it’s strange if you are not going to be in the car long enough to watch a movie Is in church constantly, but thinks its a special treat when you get to go to “our church” Thinks there is a song called [...]

This week I’d like to highlight a group instead of a single missionary. The Peru Ministry is a joint missions effort by missionaries Chris and David Gardner, and Jeremy Hall, and is an incredibly exciting ministry with depth and great history. For nearly 20 years my pastor, Austin Gardner, worked as a missionary in Arequipa [...]

We are currently in our third back-to-back missions conference (whew!), Cornerstone Baptist Temple in Dayton OH, and we are staying with some pretty amazing people. One of the awesome things about deputation is that we often stay in homes of church members. We have not only made great friends this way, but we also get [...]

A picture is worth a thousand words… and a video about a million. Please take a few minutes (only about 4) to watch this video. It is our new deputation video, but also tells the story of our friend Leticia, who is a Christian from Barcelona. Take a minute to hear her heart for her [...]

The missionary that we are praying for this week is not what most people would consider a missionary at all: Trent Cornwell is… wow, it’s actually kind of hard to pigeonhole him with one title! He is the student pastor at Vision Baptist, Assistant pastor, Director of Vision Baptist Missions, teacher of the young couple’s [...]

The following is from my pastor, Austin Gardner. I am so excited to be a part of a church that lives to plant churches: both overseas and at home! Take a minute to read this, maybe you or someone you know could be a part of planting new churches in Atlanta! Vision Baptist Church is [...]

A good friend of mine (Kyle Shreve, missionary/church-planter in training) recently wrote a blog article about how bad people really are, and it’s got me thinking: which is always dangerous. He used the example of God placing commandments and punishments in the Bible for men having sexual relations with animals, and how mind-blowing that is [...]

The missionary family we are praying for this week is the Coffey family, missionaries to South Africa! Mark Coffey is currently raising his support and is over 50% done, but he is not first-term missionary by any stretch. He has worked in Peru as a missionary, and also played a crucial role in starting our [...]

My one and only thought in coming up with a blog title is “How ridiculous can I make this so that people will have read it even though they really don’t want to?” If you’re here, then it worked. I am on an airplane headed from Cincinnati OH to West Palm Beach FL (always a [...]
