victory in Jesus!
Greetings, dear friends! I have a question. It’s the same question the famous Baptist missionary Adoniram Judson asked after the LORD turned his captivity from harsh persecution in Burma in 1826. It’s also the same question the Psalmist asked under inspiration of the Holy Ghost: “What shall I render unto the LORD for all his benefits toward me (Psalm 116:12)?” Your prayers I requested back in July for wisdom and discernment were all answered with EXCLAMATION. We have much for which to be thankful.

arise and walk
Back on June 25th, we resumed #TheLongWalkUSA from the abandoned barn on Heine Road in Stevens County, Washington. Since, we have logged nearly 300 walking miles with almost 100 Gospel encounters! The walking route has crossed the Columbia River, climbed up and over two mountain ranges (the Kettle Rivers and the Okanogans), slogged into a third mountain chain (the Northern Cascades) and to the summit of Mt. Baker, a big Cascade volcano near the Canadian border …

the last leg resumes
It was a gorgeous day here in the Pacific Northwest, barely a cloud in the sky, but the sun was blazing hot. By evening, we had resumed what we hope to be the last leg of #TheLongWalkUSA, logging 8 miles from the broken barn on Heine Rd. to Main Street in a little “West Virginia Hollow”—esque Washington community called Addy. Still, we remain unclear about the direction, but it felt good to put one foot in front of another …

it shall be reconciled
If Christians took seriously Jesus’ very simple instructions in Matthew 18:15-20 and actually followed them, perhaps 99% of problems in the local church, including those PARADED as doctrinal, would be resolved. Sadly, we don’t follow these instructions, and once strong relationships in ministry sometimes crumble to dust. It’s a sad reality of the Christian life and of Christian ministry and will be so until our Lord returns …

mashiach yisrael chai
MASHIACH YISRAEL CHAI is a Hebrew phrase that translates: THE MESSIAH OF ISRAEL LIVES. Indeed, He does. AM YISRAEL CHAI translates: THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL LIVE. Indeed, they do. In our many conversations over the years with Hebrew-speaking lost sheep from the House of Israel, we customarily use these Hebrew phrases to communicate biblical truth

a time of war, a time of peace
We recently returned from nearly five weeks on the ground in Israel during a time of war; and yet for us, it was a time of great peace in which God’s grace and provision abounded. Thanks for all your prayers. I have been to Israel five times over the years and have traveled nearly every corner between Dan and Beersheba and from Metula to Eilat. All over, we have declared the true hope of Israel, the Gospel of the Kingdom and the person and work of the Messiah. This last journey, however, proved to be the best

a long london layover
En route to Israel, Eric and I had a long 11-hour layover in London … ON PURPOSE. I want to share about some of the encounters from that cold and rainy day. Simply put, we took the train from Heathrow into downtown, walked about an 8-mile circuit that started near the site of the Smithfield burnings during the time of Bloody Mary. Many saints were burned at the stake for their allegiance to the Word of God at this spot.

Word on the ground is that the present conflict has opened many doors of opportunity for the Word of God
