Why I’m going to Africa

February 18, 2016

Spreading the gospel to “the ends of the earth” is the responsibility of each and every believer … but how do you do that? How do you make an impact, for instance, on Africa? Africa is huge. Much of the missionary effort over the years in rural areas has been ineffective, resulting in few disciples […]

You’ve fed thousands of people

November 17, 2015

The plea was urgent, and I’m so glad you helped. Papua New Guinea, an island nation north of Australia, is in the midst of a long drought. People are hungry, and NTM missionaries there want to help. They contacted our team, and sent us some specifics. Some of the aid could go in by road. […]

A preview of the devotional

September 28, 2015

Want to get a taste of the 30-day devotional, The Focus of Prayer? The Author’s Foreword is designed to do just that — and let’s face it, you’ll probably just skip over it in the book. So here it is: I’d like to think that discovering an important yet overlooked fact about prayer would change […]

Getting ready for the race

June 26, 2015

Just up the road a bit, crews work feverishly to get ready for the Coke Zero 400 at Daytona International Speedway. On July 2, the drivers will come to the starting lineup, look out over their logo-bedecked hoods and think, “I could go so much faster if I didn’t have a thousand pounds of sponsor […]

Writing is such a blast …

June 4, 2015

A crack of thunder punctuated the patter of rain on the roof. I walked from my office to our conference room to look out on the darkened afternoon. I watched the wind whip rain, leaves and small branches through the air. Now and then, lightning blazed and thunder roared. It seemed fitting to observe the […]

The Focus of Prayer

May 26, 2015

Prayed for yourself lately? You probably have. We all do. We’re supposed to. But there are two important parts of prayer we often miss, or come at the wrong way. Balancing those three elements is the point of a devotional I’m finishing up for New Tribes Mission, The Focus of Prayer. The Kindle version will […]

Nepal: You can do something

April 25, 2015

My heart was heavy this morning when heard about the hundreds already confirmed dead in a major earthquake in Nepal. It is amazing to be in a position to do something about it. Because of your ongoing support of our ministry, I was able to put together an article and project on the NTM website […]

Ever feel overwhelmed?

March 12, 2015

After Typhoon Haiyan hit the Philippines last year, the needs were overwhelming. But by faith, those needs were met. One missionary, and then one small team, stepped up and did what they could, and ended up serving an entire region of the country. You can read their stories – and more – in the latest […]

Life-changing stuff ahead?

I’m not sure I’m ready for nine days in Texas, but here I go. I’m scheduled to leave early this morning for Dallas. (I should mention that I consider staying in bed until 6 a.m. to be sleeping in, so when I say early, I mean early.) There I’ll be meeting with a friend and […]
