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...

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.

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....
Compel.
Compel. If it were not for Jesus and His love, I wonder if we would be driven to reach the lost out of mere sympathy. The Bible says in 2 Corinthians 5:14-15 “For Christ’s love compels us, because...
Catalyst.
Catalyst. Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the son of Amittai, saying, “Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry out against it; for their wickedness has come up before Me.” But Jonah...
Hidden.
Hidden. I have found in life, that both good things and bad things can be hidden. Diamonds are expensive because their original geological form is found buried inside the Earth, then the process to...
Contrast.
Contrast. Over the last few weeks, we have had 3 of our GI mission teams in 3 very different areas of the world: Asia, the Middle East, and Africa—a contrast of very different outreaches. Two out of...
