Ministry Updates

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

The team just had the opportunity to be here at Westgate this past spring. Pastor Wooten expressed interest in the team coming back at the beginning of the school year, but Dr. Jim had a scheduling conflict. He asked me to take the week and lead the team. We ran their school camp during the day and then conducted the … Read More

Martinsville Baptist Tabernacle is a thriving church south of Indianapolis. Pastor David Zempel has been there for several years and the church has grown under his leadership. Our team considered it a privilege to be there for a week of ministry in the Christian school. Although there was a spiritual battle in lives, the Lord gave us a marvelous week! … Read More

Dr. Jim asked me to lead the team for the first week of the Fall tour. The team was last here in 2019, and my wife Emma and I had the opportunity to actually be on the team that week. It was great to already have a feel for the school before we got in and to already have a … Read More
