In 2013, we, alongside dozens of other ministries, invaded the nation of Honduras as a part of 1Nation1Day with one common goal: to see national transformation take place. Working with the highest government officials, the key business leaders, and virtually all pastors in the nation, we were able to see God work in miraculous ways. Since that trip two years ago, violence in the nation dropped nearly 40%, the largest gang in the nation was disbanded, school attendance is at an all time high as they are teaching biblical values in their curriculum, and the church is stronger than ever.
I have just returned from the Dominican Republic, a place full of poverty, an uneducated population, witchcraft, idolatry and many other wicked things. When we arrived in San Juan our team was full of excitement and anticipation for what God was going to do in this city. Sleep deprived and hungry we started off the day practicing dramas and skits, so we could use them to make an impact in the villages in which we would enter. I had used dramas before, but little did I know the impact that they would have on this community of people. In fact, the very first night we were practicing, a man named Brian, from the local TV station, gave his life to Jesus just watching us practice! Praise the Lord, we were off to a great start!
I have great news for you, Ministry friends and partners: Jesus is on the move in North Africa! Because of security reasons, I can’t tell you the exact location I preached last month, but I can tell you this: It is a nation where Believers live with the daily reality of potential persecution—even death—at the hands of ISIS and other militant followers of the false religion of Islam. In spite of this, I preached a great Revival there last month, where many were saved and healed by Jesus...
Deep in the heart of Peru, surrounded by cloud-capped mountains lies the city of Tarapoto. This is truly one of the most beautiful cities I have ever visited, but far more beautiful than the mountains and the waterfalls and the jungle found in this country, are the people of Tarapoto. After spending a week with the Peruvian people, my heart has been captured and I am thankful for the week of ministry done amongst these people...
You do not have to go to faraway countries to see God move in powerful ways. This past week Luke and I spent the week in El Paso, TX for a week of spiritual renewal at a Christian school. We spent time teaching in classrooms and preaching in the school wide meetings. I want to tell you about one of the meetings we had...
The past few months have been some of the most enjoyable (and busy) months of my life. Michelle and I purchased our first home. I started teaching at one of my alma mater’s, Victory Bible College. But most enjoyable of all was the opportunity to preach the Gospel all over the world. From July to November I traveled to the United States, Canada, South Africa, Madagascar, Egypt, El Salvador and Mexico preaching at crusades, churches, leadership conferences, school conferences, youth camps, Bible colleges, parent meetings, teacher meetings and more. It has been such a fun and rewarding season to see how the Lord is working all over the world. I have updated you on most of these trips but I wanted to share about one that I haven’t yet talked about...
I recently returned from the country of Cambodia with my dad, and this trip was such an incredible way to start off the New Year. For as long as I could remember, my dad has been doing ministry overseas in distant, foreign countries, ministering to lost and unreached people groups. When I turned 13 I finally got the chance to experience this myself. We crossed the ocean and arrived in the country of Pakistan. It was a wild adventure, and it has been from then until now, and I wouldn’t exchange this life for any other life...
As we look toward 2015 we are so excited for the future but we are also so thankful for what God did in 2014. I have asked Luke to share about one of our most recent trips to El Salvador. Luke and I were so blessed to have traveled to this beautiful country and to see the Lord touch thousands of lives during our ministry there. Luke has recorded some highlights from that trip below. As you read, I pray that you would be as blessed by the testimonies as we were to experience them. Luke, take it away...
I have some outstanding news: In my opinion, I believe that the nation of Cuba is poised to break forth in Revival in a very short time! Let me explain. Remember when Communism fell in the former Soviet Union? I sure do! What happened? Revival broke out all over Russia, as the Holy Spirit began breathing life into a nation that had suffered decades of spiritual oppression...
