Welcome to my online Christian ministry blog. Looks like we can finally start posting because most of the bugs have been exterminated.

Since I was called to full-time ministry in 1991, it's been an exciting ride. Before I start the regular posting of current events, I want to spend a couple posts catching you up to this point. I hope you enjoy!

When I was called to ministry, having about 1/5 the faith of Gideon, I told God I needed to see Him accomplish five things to show me I was hearing Him and not some figment of my imagination. Within a week, he accomplished four of the five. They were:

A method to be credentialed despite my past bad acts.
A supervisory minister.
A church to work in.
A way to get ministry education from a good college.

The fifth thing was $ 1,500 monthly ministry income. When I asked God about this, He said He would teach me I didn't need the money. He is faithful! In over 15 years of ministry, we have had 3 years when our income exceeded $ 1,500. Over the whole 15 years, our giving was more than our ministry income. Still, through God's faithfulness, we have always had plenty for all our needs and most of our wants. I expect some day to receive a ministry income (a workman is worth his wages), but I'm more than compensated, just getting a chance to see Him work up close and personal.

When I see how He changes lives it just amazes me. I take a couple tiny fearful steps on faith and He brings miracles down from Heaven. He takes my flaws and fear and sins and uses them to reach thousands. I can't tell you how many people have thanked me as if I did something to change their lives. Now, I'm getting to the point where I'm dreaming pretty big, not that I actually have to make the dreams happen...that's His part. I only pray He gives me the words to convey to you what an absolute joy it is to be on this ride, watching Jesus do his thing.

If you don't like hearing people talk about what God told them or what miracles God is performing, you may not like what's coming. If you believe in Him and like to hear what He's doing today or if you're considering a call to ministry, then this is a BLOG for you. Fasten your seat belt, pull down the safety bar and keep your hands and arms inside the ride at all times. Here we go...
