Hello everybody! I am so excited right now! Last night was one of our most powerful church services in the City. From the beginning of worship to the end of the altar call, it was just AWESOME! I began a series last night on OVERCOMING IMPOSSIBILITIES and as I was ministering the Word you could see people's faith RISING! We also were blessed to have a young man on fire come and minister with our worship team. His name is Dino and he has to be the most incredible musician I have ever heard in my life. As soon as he sat at the piano he began to play song after song of Keith Green, even the most complicated ones! He is a WILD MAN and before he was saved he played at every bar and club in The Village. His voice is amazing and he will be with us on Sundays from now on. We also have another young man, David Osborne, who has recently moved to NYC from Los Angeles. He is an ridiculous guitarist and is on our worship team as well. We are so blessed to have these great people on our team. (It's happening Wolf!)

I am so proud of my lovely wife Becky! She is beginning a weekly womens meeting in a couple of weeks and has a great group of women she will be working with. She is praying and selecting a book that she will take the women through. I am currently taking the men on my team through the book 'Wild at Heart' by John Eldridge. After we finish this book we will begin another book, 'Maximized Manhood' by Ed Cole. Today it's so easy to select people based on talents and giftings, but it's hard to find men who have proven CHARACTER. These books are great tools that minister specifically to men's hearts concerning father's wounds and also build character.

Several years go I read a book that completely changed my life. It was called, 'His Last Command, Our First Priority'. It was written by a man named Jack Hanes. Pastor Jack left for Australia over 20 years ago to plant a church as a missionary. Today he has a tremendous church and speaks all over the nations. I had the wonderful privilege of meeting him a few years ago. We met again at a conference at Bethany and since then he began sending me e-mails and text messages every other week. One week it's giving me a word of encouragement, and the next he's in some muslim nation with thousands of people preparing to preach! WOW!

A couple of weeks ago he sent me a message that he was flying to Parguay to minister and had a layover in Washington D.C. He asked if I wanted to meet him here and spend a couple of days with him. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!! Ha Ha! I flew in tonight from JFK and we had a late supper. All he talked about was church planting and missions! Check this out: Over the last 11 years his church has planted at least 1 church a day! Did you get that? 1 church EVERY DAY! As of right now, they are planting a church every 14 hours! He lit my fire! Tomorrow we'll meet up in the morning and spend the day sightseeing here in D.C. and sharing with each other about Church planting and missions.

I am so grateful that God has allowed me to know and fellowship with such men of God like Jack Hanes, the Stockstill's, David Ravenhill, Bill Wilson, etc... I am also so grateful for all of the amazing people who moved here with us to build a work for God. As the years go by, I believe we will have the privilege of sending many of them out to cities across America and the world to plant churches and reach this incredible harvest!
