Special Forces Updates

This is the second time the team has been privileged to be at Lancaster Baptist Church working with their junior high and high school young people. As a result of the COVID situation and the fact that the ministry is in L.A. County, we had to make several adjustments to the week. However, even though things looked different, the Lord … Read More

This fall, the team was scheduled to be in California for the first two months of the tour. When I began to realize that weeks might cancel due to the coronavirus situation, I began to consider other places the team could go. I thought of Pleasantville, IA and called Pastor Potter. He was open to the idea so when the … Read More

At the beginning of the year, I received a call from Bible Baptist Church in Terre Haute, IN. We had never been to this school, so it was with interest I began to discuss with the principal the possibility of going there in the coming school year. We settled on a date in late August. When we arrived, we were … Read More

Our final week of the 2019 tour was in Riverview, FL. We all enjoyed the wonderful weather and braced ourselves for our return to less moderate climates after the week! The War of Special Forces team was here three years ago and had a wonderful time. It was a blessing to be back and to work with the good folks … Read More

For several years now, the team has had the privilege of coming every two years to Calvary Baptist Church and Christian School in Fort Walton Beach, Florida. The pastor is Pastor Mark Stevens.

Since that time though, I have had the privilege of going there several times. Each time we have seen the Lord work. We enjoy … Read More

A few summers ago, I was speaking for the first time at Hoosier Hills Baptist Camp and met Pastor Aaron Samples of Grace Baptist Church in Urbana, OH. I immediately sensed a kindred spirit. We had wonderful fellowship, and I knew we had begun a friendship. Over a year ago, my wife and I had the privilege of coming to … Read More

In 1997, our team headed to Heritage Baptist Church for the first time. We have been back multiple times. There are several on staff there who have become good friends. Pastor Michael Edwards founded the church and was the pastor there for decades. Recently he stepped down, and Pastor Jeff Amsbaugh became the pastor. I really enjoyed getting to know … Read More

Pastor Dana Cline and I were hall leaders in the same dormitory at our Christian college. I always love being with my classmates who are faithfully serving the Lord. His assistant, Josh Sexton, is the son of another classmate, Doug Sexton. Wow! Time flies! The Lord worked and although it was a battle (like it is every week), there were … Read More

Beth Haven Baptist Church is like going home! We had the privilege of going there first in the 2000s. I believe we have returned every three years. I have also had the privilege of preaching several revival meetings there. The folks there are like church family. Pastor Kevin Crowell is doing a great job. The church is full Sunday morning … Read More
