It was great to be back in Atchison, KS for our 3rd Cola-Clash at Carol Baptist Church. Every time we’ve been here, God has worked in incredible ways that were truly “above all we could ask or think.” This time really was no different. Although there were some minor challenges along the way, all-in-all there was complete liberty from start … Read More

Cola-Clash Week #1 – Omaha, AR
The Cola-Clash in Omaha, Arkansas was absolutely lights out…literally. For the first time ever, we conducted a Cola-Clash rally in the dark from start to finish. God moved the thunderstorm that was predicted to hit us at 6:00, but He did not choose to move the power-outage. On the whole, the lack of electricity did not hinder us at all. … Read More
UPDATE: Minutemen HQ Renting and Rezoning
Well, the journey continues! As the May deadline loomed, we saw that our goal to meet the down payment set by the bank was coming up short.

UPDATE: Minutemen Headquarters
The purchase date is coming upon us! Two burdens we have are these. We still need a good amount of funds to go towards a down payment. The other need has not been highlighted, but may be a more practical help. If we had 15-20 churches support the Headquarters project on a monthly basis, it would provide an income stream … Read More

This is the fourth time the team has been to Hudson View Baptist Church in Yonkers, NY. Yonkers is just north of the Bronx in New York City.

UPDATE: Minutemen Headquarters Progress
Recently the Planning Commission in Menomonee Falls, WI voted unanimously to recommend to the Village Board that the Colony Motel be rezoned as we requested back in December. This was a significant answer to prayer. It seems that the Village Board will vote this direction. With that hurdle cleared, we have one more big one – finances. We are grateful … Read More
