How To Stay Focused On The Right Ministry
There is so much ministry that we can do; we must decide what we should do. Very few missionaries go around not having anything to do. The problem is working long hours every day and not seeming to accomplish anything. What is it that God desires to accomplish through you on the field? Will what [...]
Focus in Ministry
Over the last few days, missionary Travis Snode and I, have been discussing ministry once one gets to the field. If you get the right training, right strategy and all the “how to’s” down, does it guarantee that once on the field you will do what you supposed to? It is one thing to talk [...]

May God bless you greatly as you serve Him.
Great quotes from Leonard Ravenhill:
[Concerning one of the new “movements” in the church that was
causing a stir among Christians:] “There’s also a stir when the

Looking Unto Jesus
Please pray for the Missions Conference here at Grace Baptist Church in Brookhaven, MS. There are several things going on and this devotional by Charles Spurgeon was very timely. May it encourage your heart.
