We have 2 rooms left for a few guys who missed the deadline! Email us today to reserve your spot!! Get more details here about the Latin Bridge Retreat ’11.

One of the most exciting things from the 4 services that I attended, was that I only preached one of them.  The other 3 services were preached by our Bible college students.  What a thrill to see them give their lives to serve our Lord!

This is a picture of Nicolas Mazzella, one of our Bible college students who is serving in the new church.

Our young people, with the help of a few adults, hosted a play about the death of Christ.  God totally used the event!! During the two presentation of the play, over 250 people attended, 10 accepted Christ, and dozens of unbelievers heard a clear and concise presentation of the gospel.

It’s thrilling to see God move!  Thanks for praying with us about this event!!

Just a first few days after the earthquake, we took a group of eight men from our church into the hardest hit regions of Chile to deliver food and medicine.  We made contact with two pastors who helped distribute the supplies to neediest in the area.

While in the city of Concepción, we also handed out more than 25,000 gospel tracks to the survivors of the tragic quake.   Their hearts were definitely open and tender to the gospel after having been abruptly reminded of the brevity of life.

Please continue to pray that God will use these events to bring more people to a personal relationship with Jesus.

We also want to thank all those who have given to the Chile Earthquake Relief project!!  I’ll post another update soon to show you all that we were able to do with your donations!

Thankfully no one in our family was hurt!  As far as we know, no one in our church was injured either.

Be praying that God will use this tragedy to bring many people to Him.  As we drove to the church just a couple of hours ago, we passed dozens of people who were standing in the streets in a state of confusion and shock.  Others have pitched tents in the parks because of structural damage to their homes.  This afternoon we’re having a special prayer service at the church, and tomorrow we’re having 2 morning services and one afternoon service.  Pray will us that many people will come to know the Lord through this difficult time.

We are still without electricity and internet in our home.  Phone connections and cellphone coverage has been spotty throughout the morning.  We’ll give you more updates during the next few days.

This is a picture of our first date 9 years ago today!! It was the annual Valentines Day banquet at Crown College.  I knew when Lori accepted my timid invitation, I was was in over my head… I felt like the street kid with the radiant princess! I definitely married way out of my league!!!

God has given me an incredible wife, and I love her more today than I ever thought possible 9 years ago!

Also, I want to thank Pastor Karl Mealor and Brockton Road Baptist Church for completely funding our VBS this year!!!  They gave their VBS offering from summer ’09 to finance our VBS this week!  How awesome is that??

Later tonight, I’ll post some pictures and maybe even a video…

This summer in Atlanta, Georgia; high school and college age students can see the world in what is becoming one of the most culturally diverse cities in the nation. In the city of Atlanta, within one hour you can make it to either the largest Islamic mosque in the Southeastern United States or the largest Hindu temple within the entire country. There are an estimated 100,000 Chinese and 75,000 Muslims living in the Atlanta area. In addition to these people groups there are also Korean, Japanese, Indian, Pakistani, Vietnamese, Bosnian and many more ethnicities that are all found in the city.

This five day long camp is also unique in that it directs students towards the cause of world missions. Students will spend time on the street, in a mosque, at a Buddhist temple and visit many other places as they learn about cultures and religions from all over the world that need to hear the Gospel message. Not only will they be able to have experiences that many Americans have not had, but they will also be challenged by missionaries from around the world and spend time with them as well.

The camp takes place June 14-18. What is the cost? At only $125 ($25 registration fee and $100 camp fee), it is certainly cheaper than flying round trip to nearly any city within the USA. You can find out more information and register now by going to bcwe.org and clicking on events. You do not want to miss this camp, it is five days that can change the world.
