Testimony From India

Thank you so much for your prayers and encouragement!  The Lord richly blessed our three-day Pastor's Conference in India.  It was a sweet time to fellowship with the pastors and their families.  We preached twelve messages in three days on the Attributes of God as seen in the Gospel (God's Holiness, God's Sovereignty, God's Wisdom, The Trinity, God's Faithfulness, God's Patience, God's Humility, God's Grace, God's Justice and Righteousness, God's Wrath, God's Love, and God's Glory).  I believe that the Holy Spirit richly blessed the preaching and the men were greatly encouraged to go forth and continue to preach the truth of the Gospel.  I am encouraged and challenged to live my life more for the glory of Christ after hearing these messages.  God answered our prayers.

Please continue to pray for these men and their families.  India is a VERY challenging place to minister the Gospel.  BUT God is FAITHFUL and He will complete His work of building His Church for His glory.

Today our team travels home.  Thank you, again, for your prayers and encouragement!  May Christ be our greatest treasure.  Love you lots!

Ephesians 3:20-21  "Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us,  to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen."

Please Pray For India!

Dear Loved Ones,

I pray that Christ is filling your hearts with His love and grace.  May our passion for Him be ever increasing because of His great sacrifice for us.

Tomorrow morning I leave for a one-week trip to India.  I will be preaching at a three day Pastor's Conference with two other brothers, Kris and Jeff.  This is an amazing opportunity to spread the Gospel and equip pastors in the truth of God's Word.  These 80 pastors will go forth from the conference and impact many lives with the truth and love of Christ.


Here's our trip schedule:

Saturday, May 17: Leave Bemidji, MN for India
Monday, May 19: Arrive in India in the morning and preach the Gospel at an evening service
Tuesday, May 21- Thursday, May 23: Our Team Preaches 12 Messages at Pastor's Conference
Friday, May 22- Travel home to Bemidji, MN

Please pray for:
1.  REVIVAL in India so that Pastors and Christians would be empowered to turn this nation upside down for Christ.
2.  For ANOINTING of the Holy Spirit on our preaching.  Without His presence and power our work is in vain.
3.  For PROTECTION from the Enemies attacks on our families, our health, and our souls.

I can not thank you enough for your prayers.  Prayer is one of the greatest weapon that we have in the advancement of the Gospel.

P.S.  If you look to the right you will see God's blessing to bring my fiancee, Martha, into my life.  Thank You, JESUS!  Thank you, everyone, for your prayers.  God is able to do far more than all that we ask or think BECAUSE I could not have imagined this amazing blessing that God had for me in sending Martha!  Amazing Grace!

Acts 20:32  "And now I commend you to God and to the word of His grace, which is able to build you up and to give you the inheritance among all those who are sanctified."

I love you all with Christ's love!!!
