Over the years I have had the privilege to labor at Providence Baptist Church and Christian School. I believe this time was the fourth pastor with whom I have labored. We have always loved coming to Providence, and this time was no exception. It was great to get to know Pastor Mark Duff. I so appreciated his heart and vision … Read More
Special Forces | Lewisburg, WV | November 7-11, 2022
In the late 1990s, our team conducted the War of Special Forces at a Christian school in Cramerton, NC. In that school was a young man who is now the principal at Lewisburg Baptist Academy. He was spiritually impacted by that week back in the 90s. He invited the team to his school where he now is principal. We were … Read More
Special Forces | Frederick, MD | October 23-28, 2022
Some schools have grown as a result of the COVID issues. Frederick Christian Academy is one of those. We come here on a regular basis, and it was good to be back with Pastor Kent Ramler (who grew up at my home church where my dad pastored) and Mr. David Lavoie, the principal. We appreciate their heart for the Lord … Read More

We love Heritage Baptist Church in Woodbridge, Virginia. We have been going there now for over twenty five years. We have gotten to know the folks there and appreciate their love for the Lord.

Special Forces | Wilton, NY | October 9-14, 2022
We hit upstate New York at the peak of the changing fall foliage. Chilly mornings, warm afternoons, and one rainy War night made for a great week. Though it was a smaller school, the spirit in the student body was wonderful. The week had its unique challenges, but the student body was very ministry minded. We worked together as a … Read More
Special Forces | West Seneca, NY | September 3-7, 2022
Upstate New York was beautiful this time of year. The leaves were changing and the temperatures were beginning to dip. The Lord gave us some real victories at West Seneca Christian School. Pastor Dana Cline and I were classmates at college, and it was great to labor with him and his staff during the War of Special Forces ministry. … Read More

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.

Special Forces | Midland, MI | September 19-23, 2022
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
Special Forces | Juniata, MI | September 12-16, 2022
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
Special Forces | Green Bay, WI | August 28-September 2, 2022
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
