Full-Throttle Flyer
The approaching fall and winter will be super exciting, high-throttle, and high-impact. I’m preparing my mind (and tailbone) for many long plane voyages, the boring airport “hurry and waits”, and endless kilometers of "Mr. Toad wild car rides” in Southeast Asia.
Full Throttle into BURUNDI
In about a month, I leave for our final training conference with our first cohort of students in Bujumbura. At the end of this trip, we will have a graduation for these truly stellar ministers! They've been an incredible group, and I am excited about their influence in Africa. They're making a great impact in their country and are now much better equipped and educated than most African pastors for the task.
Thank you for making it possible by investing in African pastors. Please keep Steve Larson, Doug Posey, and me in your prayers in September.
Full Throttle into CAMBODIA
I’ll be home for about a month before twisting the throttle again and soaring off to exotic Cambodia for another high-speed, three-week training escapade. We will teach pastors and leaders in many locations around the entire country: by the Gulf of Thailand, by the Mekong River, in the mountains, in villages, in cities, by jungles, and in the shadows of ancient temples.
God is at work in this genocide-scarred, mostly “hopeless”, primarily Buddhist country! The Cambodian church is small but vibrant, loving, and determined to reach their country for Jesus; we will equip them to do it! Pray for me and our whole team in November.
Being part of what God is doing in Cambodia has been an incredible privilege and highly impactful. Thank you for partnering with me to make this a reality. The Khmer brothers and sisters (Cambodians, pronounced Koo-my) send you their thanks and love.
Full Throttle into KENYA
As you have heard, through some amazing God-powered connections with missionaries and the Kenyan Ambassador to Burundi, I will be traveling with old pal Pastor Andy Wulff to test drive a new training program in a new country, Kenya!
They have 40 pastors and key ministry leaders ready for our arrival in rural South West Kenya in January! We will stay at the Ambassador’s mission outpost and train leaders from 10+ regional churches! This is truly one of those God-things that unexpectedly flew out of the blue. So I say… “full-throttle let’s go!” Please pray for all the logistics and the needed funding as we plot a course to bring biblical and theological training to a group of pastors and leaders who really need help!
Full Throttle into RWANDA
As long as we’re in the neighborhood… Andy and I will fly to Rwanda after completing our work in Kenya to begin training a new group of Anglican priests at a mountain camp. Unlike many American Anglicans, the African Anglican church is very conservative, Bible-focused, growing, and making a huge impact on the continent. Praise God! Many of the priests lack biblical training and ministry skills. So, enter… US!
I am excited to say our last cohort of Anglican priests have graduated from our 3-year program; some of them will help co-train this new group along with Andy and me!
Join me in prayer, asking God to provide the funds for these previously unplanned and currently unfunded trips to Kenya and Rwanda. As I’m typing this, we have about $300 into our goal of $6000 for Kenya and Rwanda. God guides, and He provides. We’re living by faith with great excitement!
Come to Greece and Turkey to Study the Bible with Me this Spring!
In April 2025, I will lead and teach a Bible study tour in Greece and Turkey, following in Paul the Apostle's footsteps. You're invited. You’ll never read your Bible the same way again! We’ll visit Ephesus, Corinth, Athens, Philippi, Thessalonica, and more. We conclude the trip with a cruise of the Greek Isles. Rockstar Andrea Gerwig will be with us as a super bonus!
