Longevity.
It doesn’t take long in life to discover that it is relatively easy to start something, hard to sustain, and very challenging to complete. Whether it is a project, a marriage, a New Year’s resolution, a college degree, or a job, while it may feel like it takes a...
Smiles.
SMILES Thailand is known for many things. One phrase I have heard it called is: the Land of Smiles. On the surface, and for your average tourist, this may be true, but there is an overwhelming darkness beyond the marketing of their gorgeous beaches, culturally...
Pentecost.
Pentecost. Pentecost….here we go. So here’s the thing, when Jesus breathed on the disciples in John 20:22, and said “Receive the Holy Spirit,” a very unique door opened that had never been open previously. Subsequent to this history-altering event, there was a special...

Façade.
Façade. (excerpt from Jonathan’s Sermon: “He is who He says He is”) All four Gospels give a first-hand account of Jesus riding into Jerusalem on a donkey as a swarming crowd gathers before Him...

Captives.
Captives. Our team that just came back from the Philippines saw many salvations and miracles. During one of their ministry days, they literally preached through the bars of prison to the inmates;...
Sacrifices.
Sacrifices. I recently returned from the beautiful country of Thailand, or as it is affectionately known: “The Land of Smiles.” I’ve learned in life, however, that what you see on the surface is...
Forgotten.
Forgotten. Have you ever been forgotten? Perhaps an adult forgot to bring you somewhere when you were little. Maybe you heard about a party that already happened and realized people forgot to invite...
Twenty.
Twenty. Twenty years ago, God called me to launch a missions organization. I left working at a large church to start something from nothing. Generation one. Nothing must become something....
Obligation.
Obligation. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is not to stop with us; it is to spread with us. We are Plan A, there is no Plan B. If we know Jesus, we are obligated to tell the world; and not just the...
Tenacious.
Tenacious. Right now, there are people fighting for their lives. For some, it is all around them—the poverty, the hunger, the sickness, the war, the political oppression, the demonic influences....
