Southern Saying… Spiritual Truth
We’ve just finished our second week of our Honorology message series. I must say, it’s been a powerful time thus far! I know I’ve mentioned it many times already, but more than likely, I’ll continue to declare it over and over again; honor has been the missing key...
Happy Birthday Zayne!

Odds Are Against Them…
I’ve been in Lima, Peru for about four days, I have some thoughts to share… Church planting is a very misunderstood venture. It’s more complicated than starting a business. It’s more than just having meetings and gatherings. It’s more than just singing and...
In Lima, Peru
I’m spending a week in Lima, Peru. I’m here with my dear friends and spiritual children, Pastors Laz and Janet Perez and with their beautiful children, Hannah, Caleb and Abigail. They are doing a tremendous work here! It’s difficult enough to start a church in...
