HERE

We are finally in Malawi. We left Tulsa at 5:45 pm on Sunday and our last plane touched down in Malawi at 2:53 pm (Tuesday) and 6:53 am (Tulsa Time - Tuesday). It took, what seemed like, forever to get here. Spending the night in the airport in Washington, DC at the ticket counter was a little less than fun. Actually it was rough.

Allof our luggage arrived which is a huge answer to prayers. Please continue to pray for us as we begin ministry early tomorrow morning.

I had a chance to share Christ with a girl on the flight from Ethiopia to Malawi. She and the girl with her are students from Belguim. She said she was raised religious but is not really doing it now. She was not really ready to talk about Christ but I left her a MOST IMPORTANT THING card which is a website that has my testimony and a place to respond to Christ. Keep her and her friend in your prayers as they are in Malawi for 3 months working with Special Needs kids.

Thanks for reading. I am going to try and update when I can. Have a wonderful day and keep my family in your prayers at home. Love you girls!

Leaving Tomorrow

Tomorrow I will be leaving for Malawi. We leave Tulsa at 5:45 pm and go to Detroit, then to Washington, DC, then to Rome, then to Ethiopia, then to Malawi. It will take almost two fill days to get there. Please keep our team in your prayers.

Also today I hurt my back. I was getting ready and it felt like someone grabbed my back muscles and began to twist. I went to the chiropractor and he popped my ribs back into place. They are still sore but I am doing much better. Also Shelly and Taylor have been sick with stomach junk so keep them in your prayers too.

I will do my best to update daily about the Malawi trip. It will obviously depend on my internet access. I am confident God will do amazing things on this trip. I covet your prayers and I ask that you remember us as God works His wonders. Thanks so much and God bless.

When God gives you a great opportunity to serve Him, you had better take advantage of it. So February 28–March 12, I am going back to Malawi Africa on a mission trip, working with the churches, pastors, and seminary students. We will be holding worship services, baptism services, street evangelism, and encouraging the seminary personnel. It will be a fantastic trip.

The one thing I covet are the prayers of all my friends and family. Please take time in your day to remember our team and our endeavors to serve the Lord. I will update this blog as much as I can. Internet usage may be limited but I will share when I can. Also, please pray for Shelly and my girls as I am away from them.

And obviously a trip like this has its expenses. The total, with airfare, food, on ground transportation, and everything else needed, is right at $3,000. But I also know that if God is leading me to Africa, He will provide the necessary funds. If anyone would like to contribute to the trip, you can make a check payable to First Baptist Church Terlton. Send it to Route 1 Box 138, Terlton, OK 74081.

Thank you for reading the time to read this and I am so excited about what God is doing. If you would like to see a video from my trip last year, click on http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uQtJlizc6j4. Thanks again and God bless.

Acts 4:13

EO ... RO

This past Sunday I preached a sermon on the need to share Jesus with those around us. In that sermon I ended with a challenge for each person in our congregation to think of ONE person they know who needs the love of Jesus. This Sunday we are going to make the commit for EACH ONE ... REACH ONE. Each person to use 2010 to reach someone for Christ. You can see a sample of the card we are going to use. Each person is to be challenged to fill out a card and leave it at the steps, symbolizing they are laying that person at the feet of Jesus. Another card will be signed by the person and taken home and prayed over as they do their best to win that person to Christ.

Tell me, what would our world be like if each of us lead just ONE PERSON to Christ in 2010? It would be amazing.
