Humble

I just finished watching the India mission video from our trip and was once again reminded of the powerful intensity of the prayer warriors we traveled with. I am so grateful for the experience. We take so much for granted in the freedom we have to worship our Lord and Jesus. I continue to pray for India but also for the unsaved on our own doorstep. I have family members that I continually pray salvation for. Thank God for allowing me to stand in the gap for them. Be blessed and remember to pray for those you love as well as for all of the unsaved in this world who don't have someone praying for their salvation.

India Mission Trip

Made it home Wednesday from India. Very thankful to be home and tremendously grateful for how blessed we are to live in a country where we can worship without fear. We often take so much for granted. We (including myself) often become habitual about our worship of God. I saw such a hunger in the people attending church in India. They lined up waiting for the doors to open at church and surged to the front for prayer when service was over. Such a hunger for the Word is rarely seen here. I thought I had a strong prayer life until I witnessed the intensity of the prayer team we were traveling with as they prayed for their country. They were fearless in praying against the evil that abounds in their country. Fervent in praying to tear down the strongholds that have held their people in bondage for thousands of years. It was heartbreaking to see the temples to false gods so prevalent everywhere. These poor people spending what little they have to make sacrifices of food and flowers to something that is destroying their very soul literally makes me sick. They are so hungry for relief from the oppression they are under that they are blind to the realization that the very things they are worshipping are keeping them in bondage. Please pray for the prayer warriors who are standing in the gap and interceding on their behalf, pray for the pastors who are risking their freedom and their very lives preaching the Gospel, pray that the eyes and hearts of the people be opened. Pray for our country and the people here that are just as oppressed and unaware of the evil that has hold of them. Take a stand where and when you can, with the authority we have in Christ, to defeat the enemy. Be blessed !

Mission Trip

I don't know why I have been called for this trip. I certainly don't feel that I am able or worthy but I am trying to be obedient. Please pray that I accomplish what God has called me to do. I pray for a bountiful harvest in India. Keep my sons in prayer, Jeffrey is currently in training at Camp Geiger, NC. He is facing some moral testing at the moment, pray that God continues to show him favor and protection. Joey has a beautiful young lady in his life that is a blessing to him and I pray they will be united in marriage soon. I am so thankful. Love and peace to you all.

Blessings Abound!!!

I have been totally remiss in not posting for so long. Life has been moving along at what seems a tremendously fast pace in the last several months. We have had several major attacks, health issues, etc. But through everything we have been tremendously blessed. We have become even more active in church and our youngest son, Jeffrey, has enlisted in the Marines. He is scheduled to leave for Boot Camp March 30th. Please keep him in your prayers. Our dear friend and brother in Christ, Darin Montgomery, has published his book "A Membership Guide to the Body of Christ" website is www.dwmontgomery.com. My youngest brother and his girlfriend have joined our church, Praise God. I am joining a team from our church on a Mission trip to Bangladore, India the end of August. I am super excited to see the awesome power of God at work in that country. I have alot of fund-raising to do for the cost of the trip but I know that if God has called me to go it will all be taken care of. My dear friend Amber and her husband Rick have recently expanded there store location and it has proven to be fertile ground for them to witness to people. I hope to get back to posting more poetry soon if time allows. I'm also posting short messages and following some of my church members on www.Twitter.com, cool site. Hopefully I'll be back soon with some more good news!
