Posting on the road… Internet in cars in India!

Monday, July 28th, 2008

India has mobile data cards… so I am doing a new tech trick in India I have yet to do in the States. No one can tell me that India is not a land of great convenience. We are driving now down to The TWR conference center where the ministry begins tonight.
Please pray and [...]

The Journey Continues

Monday, July 28th, 2008

It has been said that “life is a journey”. This is so apropos in a land where physical life and death can be literally seen on a daily basis. As we were driving in traffic, we noticed a small procession in front of us. It was a funeral march, and they were headed [...]

Uttiramerur Festival Exceeds Expectations

Sunday, July 27th, 2008

Greetings friends and prayer partners,
I am honored to share a great report with you about our work in Uttiramerur.

Surprising Boost in Conference Registrations

Monday, July 21st, 2008

We are pleasantly amazed at how the conference registrations are coming in this year.
We figured we would only have 350-400 in attendance this year, since last year we had to reduce our conference from two days down to one. So to be safe, we budgeted for 500 people and figured we could be content to [...]

No Lone Rangers in the Church!

Saturday, July 19th, 2008

I am excited to see how the messages for this year are coming together. I have been initially inspired by the theme, “The Overcoming Church” for the conference, and it all stems from the idea that God’s project is the church. Too often, our project is ourselves. Our agenda. Our promotion. Our blessing.
