Finally a blog!!!!

Well readers (smile - I like having blog readers) I have been away from blogging for a minute for a couple of reasons: 1. I have been traveling a lot. 2. I was waiting for some confirmation of facts before posting information.

Thus, this third part to the previous few emails is actually going to be two parts.

On the travel note, I have preached a couple of times and have some sermons online which I will comment on in more depth later. But for now, if you choose to listen to some of these messages here's where I was.

I had the privilege of enjoying part of the evening of Easter Sunday with my family! I hung out in Cincinnati through Tuesday and I had great visit. It was rich being able to spend with family. Here is a picture of me and grandma!

The weekend of March 30th I preached at Harvest Bible Chapel in West St. Louis and had a wonderful time ministering to the people there and sharing a Word with them. Here is link to the sermon that I preached.-

Hopefully it works. And here I am with Pastor Michael Sust, a spirit-filled man who was gracious enough to share the pulpit with me!


During that week we took a trip to Michigan to visit "Portable Church Industries, Inc." which I'll go into at another time. Suffice it to say that this company provides resources to facilitate set up and tear down for weekly worship services for church plants.

This past weekend I went to Milwaukee to preach at Harvest Bible Chapel - South Milwaukee. A rich time of fellowship, albeit a brief time. Nevertheless, I pray that God allowed his Word to minister to the hearts of the people. This sermon is available on the iTunes podcast directory. It's the same text that I preached in St. Louis, but felt a little different.

Then Sunday night I rode up the highway to visit my buddy Jason who returned to his Minnesotan homeland after spending some time in Phoenix (where we were in a Bible Study together). It was again refreshing to reconnect with a friend from the past, see his new place and hear about the great things that God is doing in his life. Another added bonus was that we had a chance to stop in to a church that had visited recently, and I always enjoy seeing the different ways that churches operate. It was unique because the church, which has been around for eight years, recently purchased an office park building and retrofitted it. I thank God for even divine appointments that allow me to get ideas about church planting potential.

So that's been a lot moving and shaking with more to come!!!
