September 22nd, 2012… this was the day when we held our 5th annual Hispanic outreach event. It was held on the grounds of FBC Medina in cooperation with Chapel Hill BC. This ministry was birthed a few years ago when the Lord placed a need on my heart and the heart of a few other men to start a ministry to reach the Hispanic community around us in Gibson County. It is an interesting story of faith and the providence of God. This is not an easy ministry and in some ways it reminds me of Romani ministry. After Dawn and I became involved with overseas missions, this ministry was taken over by Jason & Isabel Hance. They were indeed a God-send and have done a good job shepherding this group for 5 years. On “this” day, the event was well received and we had several interesting facets included. An outstanding vocalist sang, we had 2 Hispanic pastors from the immediate area join us, and the Gideons presented Spanish New Testaments to everyone. Jason also presented a clear Gospel message to the group in their heart language. Jason, thank you and Isabel for continuing on with this ministry even through the difficult times. God will bless you for it!

Almost a week after the New Year, I sit and consider what lies ahead. In 2016, will the Lord keep me here in West Tennessee, will He move me again to some remote place across the globe? Where will I live? What type of ministry position will He provide? Let me stop here and say,…
A Different Bolt of Cloth
I see it all the time. That internal conflict, especially within younger children, that causes them to cringe in larger gatherings. It also causes them to stray to the far side of a room when all the “cool kids” start boasting about their over-hyped accomplishments. In some small way, I hope this post will encourage…

This last posting about our recent bus trip (vacation) will highlight our tour through Hershey, PA, the amazing Chocolate Factory, and our viewing of David at Sight and Sound Theater.

Ghetto Fest 2012
On Saturday, June 2nd, there was a community event in the area close to our mission church. This event was called “Ghetto Fest” and it was designed to allow the minority community of Brno enjoy their culture through music and fellowship. I believe that the event was also designed to encourage Roma people and their…
Kindred Spirits @ Elevate Church
Last Sunday night, I was blessed to take part in a very special event. I joined my old friends to have somewhat of a reunion concert of the Kindred Spirits. The original “long-standing” group was made up of Dale & Christi Denning, Danny King, and myself. We traveled together for over 20 years, singing in…
