Monday Feb. 8th, I departed for Minnesota and Wisconsin for a week of vacation and ministry time with friends and family. At 5:55pm, I spun off into a ditch due to ice on the roadways near Story City, IA. Towing was prohibited in the area because of the weather, so the state trooper brought me […]
From My Heart – Trusting the Lord in Disaster My heart is heavy as I write this month’s newsletter. An earthquake has devastated a nation that I deeply love. News has been trickling in slowly from ministry friends and contacts. James Adams is a dear Haitian friend that I went to Haiti with in 2007 […]
At this present moment, the second largest abortion facility in the world, next to China, is being built in Houston, Texas. This six-story, 78,000 square foot, Planned Parenthood abortion “Super Center” is right in the middle of four minority neighborhoods.

Over one full year ago, I was saying good-bye to friends, to family, to Eau Claire, WI, and to Duluth, MN for what I thought would be 6-months. As I came down to participate in the Fire in the Night internship, God apprehended my heart to move here and serve as a missionary full-time in […]
On November 11, I arrived at the FSM building at 3 pm for my normally scheduled Justice Program class.

On November 11th, at 9:00 in the morning, the Holy Spirit showed up in an unusual way to an IHOPU class (the university here at IHOP). Students were delivered from self-hatred, fear, past wounds, and many were healed physically. The initial prayer meeting from this class lasted over 15 hours. I would not call it […]
Last month, I lead worship and preached at the children’s track of our national conference. Over the past year, the Lord has touched my heart deeply with the need to prepare this next generation of children for the coming global crisis. I spoke to the children about God’s call on their life to be messengers […]
When I was in the second grade, the Lord began to draw my heart deeply to Himself. I began to read the Word, mostly the Psalms and Revelation. I began to write songs from the Scriptures I read. Since then, I have written nearly a hundred songs. I believe my primary ministry mandate is to […]
I feel the time of initial transition of moving here and joining staff is coming to a close. On Nov. 2, I finally get to move into my permanent house, and I continue to work hard laboring in prayer and service. So, what exactly am I doing? Apart from my 24 hours in the prayer […]
