Well here goes, my first blog post ever. I am sitting in a coffee shop/internet café in Mbale, Uganda, and have no clue what to write about. The electricity in town is out again but the gentle roar of the generator just outside the front door provides enough electricity to power the Wi-Fi router and run the TV’s that are blaring out a poorly

Several of our staff have begun to train with a new portable media distribution system from Renew World Outreach, called the LightStream. This technology allows our Pastors and Disciple Leaders to create a full featured “digital library” from which Gospel media can be shared on mobile devices in an off-the-grid environment without depending on access to internet or electricity. Pictured on the left are

The Power To See It Through 1st Corinthians 9:24-27 The Apostle Paul compares our life in Christ to a marathon race, like ancient runners coming into the Coliseum to finish the race before Caesar, who gives the winner the wreath (crown) of victory. Three ideas are here for us to consider: I. We must run the race with DIRECTION 9:24 “a prize” vS. 25

The birth, crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus was well foretold by the prophets of the Old Testament. None better on Jesus’ birth than in Isaiah 9:6. The prophets of old were inspired by the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s plan for man. They listened to God and they were not afraid to stand the test of a prophet and so they spoke. They were

Christmas & Mixed Emotions
Like many of you I have very mixed emotions about the commercialization of Christmas. As I have remarked before in previous blogs – Christmas was originally a birthday celebration for Jesus, our Lord and King. Now, he is seldom invited to his own party! All of this hype about buying and giving leaves us with mixed feelings that all of us probably share. I’m

I recently listened to a lecture by Tim Keller on YouTube. Pastor Keller’s topic was, “Evangelism in a Post-Modern World.” He was asserting the truth that Western civilization that was once a Christian culture with cathedrals on in every village has now become an ex-Christian culture as liberal post-modern thought has prevailed. He then used a striking phrase that captured my attention. Tim says

According to current research, the majority of evangelical churches have put evangelism on the back burner; it is no longer a priority. This is especially sad because as American society has become more and more secular, the evangelical churches have also become more and more passive about confronting the culture with the Gospel. 1.) This lack of evangelistic focus has become endemic to Christian

I am among the 70+ percent of Americans who don’t like the direction our country is going and I am praying for a correction. However, we Christians were not promised the culture in which we live, we were promised the Kingdom to come. Many of us stake our hopes and apply our faith as if we were just one election away from turning around

I have been away on vacation. That means no blogs, no nothing from me except silence. For us, it is a really good thing. Each year we like to retreat in order to regroup, and then advance. Our time away from the pressures of a large ministry and its demands is an annual season of refreshing. I wish all of you could do just
