September 22nd, 2012… this was the day when we held our 5th annual Hispanic outreach event. It was held on the grounds of FBC Medina in cooperation with Chapel Hill BC. This ministry was birthed a few years ago when the Lord placed a need on my heart and the heart of a few other men to start a ministry to reach the Hispanic community around us in Gibson County. It is an interesting story of faith and the providence of God. This is not an easy ministry and in some ways it reminds me of Romani ministry. After Dawn and I became involved with overseas missions, this ministry was taken over by Jason & Isabel Hance. They were indeed a God-send and have done a good job shepherding this group for 5 years. On “this” day, the event was well received and we had several interesting facets included. An outstanding vocalist sang, we had 2 Hispanic pastors from the immediate area join us, and the Gideons presented Spanish New Testaments to everyone. Jason also presented a clear Gospel message to the group in their heart language. Jason, thank you and Isabel for continuing on with this ministry even through the difficult times. God will bless you for it!

Almost a week after the New Year, I sit and consider what lies ahead. In 2016, will the Lord keep me here in West Tennessee, will He move me again to some remote place across the globe? Where will I live? What type of ministry position will He provide? Let me stop here and say,…

Sometimes, it is hard to clearly hear the voice of God in this life. Maybe you can relate to this situation… this distraction… this encumbrance to following God in pure child-like faith. Maybe you have never tried. I can honestly tell you that there are times that it seems as if God is very very…
