This morning, we finished up a teaching on the general revelation of God that all men in every place have heard. All men have heard from the Lord: CREATION declares there is a Creator. The CURSE of sin declares there to be a problem between the Creator and His creation. And the CONSCIENCE shouts said problem to be personal: There is a problem between the Creator and you. The solution to this grave dilemma is by special revelation, the Word of God. Many have never heard the answer to the problem. That’s why we gotta go tell ‘em.

delhi

Two to three days in Delhi is usually about all I can take. As recently as two weeks ago, the heat and the apocalyptic yellow haze would have been so much worse. But, praise the Lord, the monsoon has begun! Temps are in the 80s with some rain here and there. Unfortunately, a lot of rain in the mountains we have to cross means mudslides and washed-out roads. Our overland path crossing the Himalaya, at this point, is uncertain. Prayers appreciated. We head out early tomorrow morning in a 12-seater Tempo, bound for Manali at about 6500 ft in elevation. It’s a 12-hour drive that must start early to avoid Delhi traffic.

an eve of departure

Your prayers are much appreciated as Team Yeshua Big Sky departs early tomorrow morning for South Asia. Lord willing, we shall rendezvous with Carter & Bethany in Qatar. We’ll be traveling many miles by land and over big mountains for the next 6 weeks. It has been a good time of training and preparation here under a big sky in Montana. It’s now time for the next chapter, under a big sky in South Asia.

riverfront park

t’s a joy to finally have my wife officially alongside Team Yeshua here in Montana. Saturday, we made an airport run to Spokane, Washington and enjoyed a good time of street ministry. After several days of training concerning the Christian’s responsibility to evangelize the lost, I turned the volunteers loose in Riverfront Park (a great place to preach) while I went to snag Jamie form the airport.

here and back again

It seems like I just got back home to North Carolina, and now, it’s time to go back out again. It’s been said of great adventures “there and back again,” but for us, it seems more like HERE AND BACK AGAIN. I rejoice to announce: God has raised up this year’s Team Yeshua, and we are already seeing doors open in both Montana and South Asia. It’s going to be an incredible summer of ministry. What a blessing to train up young people and to give them a taste of real missions at a literal end of the earth!

the israeli backpacker phenomenon

In the 1970’s came the drifter-tourists. Having completed very tense Israel Defense Forces (IDF) conscriptions in very tense times, these individual nonconformists began reacting to the predictable status quo of Jewish life in a land surrounded by enemies who wanted to push them into the sea. They took a break and went trekking!

go through the land and describe it

Much has already happened in 2025, our 23rd straight year of Great Commission ministry and consistent Gospel testimony. The same message we preached in 2003 as I rode a bicycle across America is the same message we preached in 2023 on a long walk across America. It’s the same message we have preached in forty-six foreign countries and it will be the same message next month in #47 …

the breadth of it

Last Friday, I walked the first “breadth” or SPUR off #TheLongWalkUSA main route, carrying the cross and a U.S. flag in distress.  While several from our local church joined up with other brethren to lift up voices outside the Planned Parenthood in Asheville, North Carolina, we walked from that death mill to the junction with the Blue Ridge Parkway off US 25, a 6-mile spur.
