Ministry Updates

Beth Haven Baptist Church is out in the country next to a tree farm. I have been visiting this ministry since the early 2000s. Each time the church is alive and moving forward. I love the time with Pastor Crowell and his people. There is always great involvement and support from the people there. This year was no exception! On … Read More

Calvary Baptist Church of Midland has steadily grown over the years since I have been there. I believe my first visit was in the early 90s. The church has grown, and so has the school. The school is now over 150 in the 7th-12th grades. The Lord worked in so many remarkable ways. We all left the week rejoicing in … Read More

In the fall of 2004, our team came to Juniata Baptist Church in Juniata, MI. There was a senior that year that clearly got right with the Lord. To make a long story short, he is now the pastor of Juniata Baptist Church. Also, the principal there is the son of the principal that was there in 2004. It was … Read More

Sometimes you see the immediate fruit of your labors, and other times, you see how God is preparing to go far beyond the immediate. That’s how our week in Green Bay went. We were in Green Bay back in 2019 and ministered to mainly Wisconsinites, but upon our return this year, we discovered a large Slavic (Russian and Ukrainian) population … Read More

Too often we are tempted to live according to sight and not by faith. In doing that, we can miss what God is doing under the surface because we can’t see it. That was the story of Godfrey. The week had several challenges both spiritually and logistically, but God won the victory. Right from the beginning, the team felt their … Read More

A few months ago I attended the IFFB Conference in Orlando, Florida. There I heard  Pastor Garvan Walls preach. I was struck with the blessing of God on his preaching. He connected with me that week and asked us to come to Mount Pisgah Baptist Church in Oliver Springs, Tennessee where he is pastor. We were excited about this opportunity … Read More

A few years ago I met Pastor Aaron Samples at a camp in Indiana. I immediately felt a kindred spirit. This is the second time our team has had the privilege of being at Grace Baptist Church in Urbana, Ohio to conduct the War of Special Forces. This church has a very effective ministry to public school teens as well … Read More

Several years ago, my wife and I had the privilege of going to Central Baptist Church in Greeneville, Tennessee for revival meetings. There we met Pastor Todd Abbey. Pastor Abbey is now the pastor at Fairfax Baptist Temple in Virginia. It was neat to reconnect with him and his wife. The War of Special Forces team has never been to … Read More

Valley Baptist in Edinburg has been a special place since the Lord providentially brought us there in 2003. As a result of Hurricane Isobel in 2003, the team had to relocate and as a result of a cancellation near the coast, we conducted the War of Special Forces at the academy there. I remember that week well. It was a … Read More

By the very name Beaver, WV, many would think we were in the middle of nowhere, but actually we were quite close to Beckley, WV. Our team has been to Victory Baptist Academy many times and has always been encouraged by what the Lord does in hearts. The students at Victory are all in from the moment the week begins! … Read More
