Language Learning
I have no doubt that there are going to be plenty of views out there concerning this subject. Though you may disagree, I firmly believe you will limit your ministry and effectiveness if you do not learn the language of the people to which you will minister. I hear all the time here in the [...]
PDF Packets
In the age in which we live, computer communication is the way to go. It is cheaper, faster, more accurate, etc In the “old days” missionaries had to mail their information packets to churches. In this day, you just forward it to an address. Here are some things to keep in mind when sending your [...]
What a Curse!
We hear of many “curses” that people put on other people. The Tartar tribes of central Asia would use this curse against their enemy, “May you stay in one place forever.” The longer you think about that saying, the more it will eat into you.
Can we spiritually look at our lives and see growth and [...]
Lauryn Brooke Howeth
Oh man, oh man, oh man. Today is not a good day for me. My little girl is officially 16! It was one thing when Seth turned 16 but my little girl!?!?

Lead on Softly
Genesis 33:14 shares with us a great truth. Let my lord, I pray thee, pass over before his servant: and I will lead on softly, according as the cattle that goeth before me and the children be able to endure, until I come unto my lord unto Seir.
What a phrase, “…I will lead on softly…” [...]
I feel like I am leaving something??
Do you ever get the feeling as you are walking out the door that you may be leaving something behind? Keys, wallet, Bible, notebook, calendar, KIDS!! I must be the world’s worst at this. If it is not in the place I left it as I go through my “routine” I will walk out the [...]
Mistakes in Support Raising
I try to let you know where I get different material and who wrote it…..I have no idea on this one! Though it is obvious his support raising is not exactly yours, there are still some good parallels to what he says. May God bless you as you minister for His glory today.
1. I prayed [...]
