Let’s Get Ready to Rumble!
96% of all Hindus, Muslims, and Buddhists don’t know a Christian. That's just CRAZY, that’s totally unacceptable! Let’s FIGHT! My aim is to train up indigenous leaders who can reach these lost people whom I will never meet. That's a one-two punch into the face of the Kingdom of Darkness. That's multiplication. It’s happening! Thank you for fueling it!
Round Two: Burundi (The Rumble in the Jungle!)
In May, Doug Posey, Steve Larson, and I will be flying back to the beautiful people of Burundi for another two weeks of training, serving two different regions. I'll also be preaching at Christian Life Ministries Church and will have many one-on-one meetings with the guys I'm coaching and mentoring there in-country. Please pray daily for health and spiritual impact! I can't wait to get back on the road!
The Sucker Punch
After I began working for GTN in 2020, I started to notice that I was getting increasingly sicker and knocked down more frequently on trips. Satan's one-two sucker-punch has been chronic stomach and significant back issues that make traveling and training difficult. “Let’s get ready to rumble” is often the sound in my intestines…lol!
The Champ, Paul of Tarsus, shares,
“There was given me a thorn in my flesh. A messenger of Satan, to torment me. Three times I pleaded with the Lord, to take it away from me, but he said to me, my grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:7-9
I've pushed most of my travel into a busy May – November for 2026. Would you pray with Andrea and me for answers and effective treatments?
In My Corner
In the meantime, I've been fighting from my corner of the ring here in California. Here are some of the good things I've been up to since I returned from Phnom Penh:
I’ve been engaged in the necessary (and honestly tedious) trip and training logistics for Africa and Cambodia in 2026.
I've continued online and live mentoring/coaching “one-on-ones” with eight pastors, globally and locally, with knockout results. What a privilege!
I've been increasing my knowledge for more powerful equipping: I recently completed a course in Leadership Conflict Training, and now I am studying a course in the book of Genesis. Leaders = lifelong learners.
I've been seeking and developing new ministry regions for 2027, and I’m excited about some of the opportunities.
I'm developing an original curriculum on Spiritual Leadership for pastors. Pray that God continues to infuse it with life-changing concepts, useful skills, and deep insights.
I co-taught some of our GTN staff on principles of creative communication in Phoenix at our annual GTN staff gathering in February.
I've joined the New Staff Mentoring team at Global Training Network to help on-ramp new staff members to equip and assist them for effective ministry. That's a one-two punch to the enemy - I multiply equipping, to those who multiply it, and give it away to local leaders in the Majority World who will multiply it. Jab! “Take that, my opponent!”
Year-End Support Results
Victory! Thanks to you, we met our 2025 year-end financial goals, which means I have the resources to accomplish what God has laid out before me this year.
I’m glad you are in my corner! Keep swinging in prayer, swing from your knees!
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”
2 Corinthians 10:4
– so… “Let’s get ready to rumble”!
