In 2007, our team came to West Gate Baptist Church in Tampa, FL for the first time. I am pretty sure we have been back every two years since then. We have come to love the folks there. Pastor Pirt is a good preacher, and I am excited about where he is leading the church. Pastor Muriel and his wife … Read More

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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
