I am in Africa, we’ve been here two weeks with another week to go. Things have been popping while we seek to minister to hundreds of pastors. As you know we have BWM staff in 6 countries. They show the Jesus film and other evangelistic films in very remote places, sometimes where folks have never seen a movie. That’s amazing. One such place had some excitement

Apostolic Passion
I have been thinking about “apostolic passion.” I know- weird of me…right? Passion and apostolic-you wed these two ideas together and you really have something earth shattering and earth changing. What is Apostolic Passion? I see it clearly illustrated in Paul’s words to the Roman church, recorded in Romans 15:15-21. The word “apostolic” = one sent forth with a message. Much like a king sending a

May Monthly Prayer for Our ACT Staff
Monthly Prayer for our ACT Staff: May Moses Kyalo, Kenyan ACT leader since 2005 Moses has been on the BWM staff for a very long time. Only David Mukhaye has served longer. Moses is married and the father of three young children. He rides on his motor bike, taking the Gospel into the interior of Kenya. Moses has shown the Jesus film and Aids

Because of the Jews within our culture and our support of Israel. Christianity became the mother of Western culture (it too rising out of Judaism) and on the day of Mohamed (the Prophet 7th cent.). The only Christianity he saw was medieval Roman Catholicism. The enlightenment in Europe and America advanced individual freedom and freedom of thought. Post-modernism makes each man (or woman) a law up to themselves, meaning there are

The Cross & Empty Tomb
Well, Easter came and went, just like every year. It was nice, church was special, lunch with friends and family. Now, back to normal living-right? Wrong, so very wrong. Let me explain. I fear most Christians I know live a life of total disparity between Good Friday and resurrection Sunday. We are long on the Cross-and short on the resurrection. Why do we

The Forgotten Person in My Theology
I’ve been thinking of the ministry of God’s Spirit in my life. Being raised both Catholic and Baptist, the Holy Spirit did not get much credit or attention in my early walk as a Christ follower. He (not an “it”) was the lesser person in the Godhead as I tried to be faithful without honoring Him. I not only quenched and grieved Him, I ignored Him!

This weekend is Easter- let’s remember He is not dead, but is risen, reigning and ruling the universe. Saturday March 30th is a critical day in Kenya. The high court will rule on the presidential election appeal made by Riala Odinga, the emcumbant Prime Minister who was apparently defeated in the recent Presidential elections. There is much concern that tribal violence will break out as

Slow Boat to Africa
I recently wrote about our 3rd generation disciples; there are over 500 pastors in 6 African countries. These pastors and churches are direct products of our BWM staff on motorbikes going into the bush and sharing the gospel through the Jesus film, evangelism and discipleship. This May, we will begin training these pastors in Kenya and Uganda, using the ESV Study Bible. Later in the year

How many Bibles do you own; more than one is my guess? Take a moment to thank God for that blessing. Over 90% professing Christians in Africa do not own a Bible. They are fortunate if the man they call pastor has one. Really- it’s true. In May, I am launching out on a new venture that I want you to pray with me about.

One of the truly great things the Apostle Paul ever said is recorded for us in II Timothy 2:2. He speaks of the awesome power of one- on- one discipleship, by saying to Timothy, The things which you have heard from me in the presence of many witnesses, these commit to faithful men, who shall be able to teach others also.” Look at the
