When I'm not traveling, I come home each night to a beautiful wife and a little girl. We'll have a nice meal (April can sure cook) and spend some time together as a family. What if there was no food. What would I do?
Over the last few years and especially the last few …
There's a $5 million bounty on the head of Father Zakaria (www.fatherzakaria.net). Why? He's an Arabic Coptic Christian exposing the facts of Islam to people across the Middle East.

This is a great article...it clearly explains the vision behind this work. Also, it quotes one of our fall interns, Katie, and mentions the intern program.
Look

Thanks,

People often ask me what I like most about leading teams. I battle internally over my answer. Seeing the light turn on in someone's eyes as they receive real and practical help along with hope in Jesus in the midst of great need is hard to beat.

So I've thought about changing the blog address to something that doesn't have "blog" or whatever in the name. I brainstormed, looking up just about everything I could think of. I've always been bad with coming up with names for things (i.e. the "House O' Coffee" at …
I just heard some sad (happy for him) news. Larry Norman is dead. He died this morning at 2:45 a.m. If you haven't heard of Larry, you should know that he's literally the guy who started Christian rock and roll.
The original Jesus Freak. He didn't do the peace sign, but …

Seven days ago I was in Phoenix at the Master's Commission Conference, I then went to Dallas (Waxahachie) to spend time with students at Southwestern Assemblies of God University. Yesterday I was in chapel at Evangel. Busy week.
I've spent …

When Debbie left Hammond to come be with Mom for her breast cancer lumpectomy, my niece, Mattie, said, "You'd better not come back with any bad news!" Thankfully, things went about as well as they could've gone. The doctor believes they removed all of the cancer and …
My wife loves her clients. She's known Jeane for about 10 years, and really has a wonderful bond with her. Our CBS affilaite, KOLR 10, has been convering Jeane's journey through hospice and was there when April and a friend stopped by. They're not interviewed for …

I sure love my mom. We found out some bad news a couple of weeks ago...but we're confident things are on a good path. She has breast cancer. They found a growing cancerous tumor that needs to be removed. She had an MRI yesterday where they found no new cancer. This …
I'm not living in yesterday, but wanted to share a quick overview of our interns in 2007...
We launched with two interns this spring. After one went home with a pre-existing sickness, we finished with one. Josh is a great man and I was proud to see him pave the way. …

Happy New Year...except for many in Kenya. Wow.
I've never been there, but stories like this http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7166932.stm which speak of 30+ people killed in tribal violence in an Assemblies of God church sure hit close to home. I got an email from …
I like seeing my "worlds collide."
Here's a story about Evangel University doing a Book of Hope trip to S. Africa where they will do lots of Book of Hope stuff...and use some Convoy of Hope knowledge to put in water filtration systems.

I returned last week from N. Asia. What a trip. The team is doing well and just finished …

I love sushi.
I suppose it was my friend Danny Goodin who turned me on to sushi. We'd eat at that cheap all-you-can-eat sushi place in Pompano. He'd throw it down. I was impressed. Lots of great times with Joe and Mishael, Jason and many other friends at that spot …

I haven't blogged in a long time, but when you eat balut, you just want to share the experience.
I just returned from Manila where I worked with our Convoy of Hope Intern team. We had fun. Among the fun …
I just found out that one of the churches with whom we worked in TX has done a video and placed it on YouTube. Nice photos with music. I oversaw the prayer tent, where they took few photos. It was a beautifully fun and important day.
