It’s D-Day yet again! I leave this morning for Lagos, Nigeria on the final leg of my ‘three-continent-tour’ in three weeks. My body doesn’t even try to mess with time zones anymore and just goes to sleep whenever and wherever it wants to (watch out all you drivers). Any way, while I’m looking forward to [...]

Sadly, today marks the end of my Guatemala ’08 presentation (I could show you hundreds of photos, but I think the ones I’ve shown over the last week are fairly representative of much of what we experienced). Today I’d like to share a more personal story of Almolonga. Because it has always been my heart’s [...]

The story of the spiritual transformation of the city of Almolonga, Guatemala is unparalleled in the annals of recent church history. Perched at approximately 14,000 feet above sea level, this was a ‘barren’ city steeped in poverty, where alcoholism was the conventional pastime.

The chicken was absolutely delicious and it prepared us for the long and grueling four and a half hour drive up to the mountains of Quetzaltenango. We settled into our hotel at about 10.00pm (which was [...]

This was truly an inspiring and rewarding trip. Clyde is carrying one of the young students from the elementary school we ministered at. We handed out school supplies, candy and scriptures to every single class and student. I was incredibly proud of my fifteen year old daughter, as she prayed for the students in [...]

It’s D-Day again! I leave today for Guatemala, with a team from The Well. It promises to be a really fulfilling and exciting trip, especially since my 15-year old daughter gets to experience the joys of serving others through a mission trip for the first time in her life. I am also thrilled at the [...]

I’m moving house!!! I’ll be living on a plane the next month or so, as things are shaping up to become incredibly busy over the next few weeks for me. Tomorrow I leave for London, England, where I will be doing some ministry as well as connecting with my extended family. I’ll be back in [...]

Okay, Is it just me or am I losing momentum after having missed posting a couple of times in the last week? Traveling will do that to you though, especially when you are up in the mountains away from the “civilization” of wireless internet connections. Any way, I’m determined to catch up on all that [...]

This conference has been explosive so far (well I guess for me it’s over since I’m posting this from Houston’s Hobby Airport enroute to San Antonio for a men’s conference I’m speaking at), and I’m totally inspired by the humility, transparency and passion displayed by all the speakers I’ve heard. Brian Houston looked and sounded [...]

I know, I know, you’ve patiently waited all day for the updates I promised would be coming your way. Well wait no more. The conference started yesterday evening at the amazing campus of Church of the Highlands. It is nothing short of a miracle that a seven year old church has built such an astounding [...]
