Devotional is our gift to you

September 22, 2015

Do you like free? Would you like some help with your prayer life? Have I got an ebook for you! The Focus of Prayer is now available free from New Tribes Mission. You can get it here. We often overlook three important facets of prayer. In this 30-day devotional, I’ll take you through those in […]

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 […]

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 […]

Back safely

June 24, 2013

We arrived back in Florida late Sunday night. There were no new issues with the car. We just got a few more laughs out of the windshield wipers. Trying to get them to stop at the bottom of the windshield reminded me a bit of playing pinball – which I have never been particularly good […]

Stuck …

June 21, 2013

We were supposed to be on the road already. But each time the mechanic has fixed something on our car, he’s found something else wrong. Something else that means it is not reasonable to try to drive it back to Sanford. Since he’s an NTM mechanic, and he’s doing this for us on his time […]

Made it to our conference …

June 18, 2013

Well, Julie and I are in the second day of our conference here, and all is going well. We’re having a wonderful time reconnecting with missionaries who serve, literally, around the world, and are being enriched by some world-class teaching from Dr. Mark L. Bailey, president of Dallas Theological Seminary. But perhaps you are wondering […]

Full because of two halves

June 13, 2013

Julie and I full of thanksgiving to God and thankfulness to you: We’re halfway to Missouri, trouble-free, and Half of our costs for this trip are taken care of. Thanks for praying! Please don’t stop now.

Heading for Missouri

June 11, 2013

We hit the road again Thursday, bound for a conference at our training center in Missouri. So I was, let’s say, disappointed that the car wouldn’t start when we tried to leave for church Sunday. Julie and I continue to drive thousands of miles for our ministry each year. I think the most reasonable course […]

Off and running

January 8, 2013

Would you please pray for Julie and me as we start 2013 at a dead run? This week I’m helping teach missionaries who’ve come to Florida from around the world about dealing with the media in crisis situations. Next week we head to Thailand, where I’ll take part in a forum of pastors and NTM […]

Blessed

November 16, 2012

I sometimes wonder why I put up with the hardships of serving as a missionary. But not for long. It’s inspiring for me – and I hope for you as well – to be part of reaching tribes and transforming lives. To help hasten the day when people from every tongue, tribe and nation have […]
