One of the things I love about my pastor and my home church is their dedication to expository preaching. Pastor Gardner preaches through the Bible every service and he has been a big help to me as I learn to preach expositionally. They are hosting a Bible Expo on April 12-13 that I hope you [...]
This summer, our home church, Vision Baptist in Alphretta, GA, is hosting the Our Generation Camp at Fort Bluff Camp in Dayton, TN. This camp is a unlike any other camp you have ever been to. It is more than just a week of entertainment and fun. It is more than just a time to [...]
We are currently in our third back-to-back missions conference (whew!), Cornerstone Baptist Temple in Dayton OH, and we are staying with some pretty amazing people. One of the awesome things about deputation is that we often stay in homes of church members. We have not only made great friends this way, but we also get [...]

I want to challenge every missionary to listen to this sermon by Missionary to Kenya Randy Stirewalt speaking on how to do mission work. I am very impressed with him and the ministry.

Our sending church, Vision Baptist Church , in Alpharetta, GA, is hosting the annual Our Generation Summit once again this year. Though Teri and I will be unable to attend this year, we have gone in the past, and it is definitely a retreat worth attending. The Our Generation Summit is an incredibly exciting missions-centered retreat set in beautiful Pigeon Forge, TN. It is a meeting that the whole church and the whole family will enjoy! Each member of the family and each person in your youth group, Sunday school class, and church will find something that will help them in their walk with the Lord and in the task of world evangelism at the Summit. Below is some more inforation links about the Summit.
Our home church is hosting a church planting seminar absolutely free of charge on November 3-4! If you are a church planter, pastor, missionary, in full time-ministry, considering church planting, or just want to be learn more about and b involved in church planting, I want to encourage you to attend this event. Dr. Earl Jessup and Baptist Church Planting have been involved in helping both my brothers with their church plants. My pastor, Austin Gardner, has planted many churches. I guarantee you that you will learn a wealth of information from this seminar that will challenge and help you.
It’s that time again: Time to reward your favorite missionary for his funny and inspiring blog posts by taking him on for support! No? Well, ok… it was worth a shot. I guess I’ll just give you another “Excuse Evaluation” for whether you should come to the OG Summit this year or not. Bad Excuse #2: Soap is too Expensive! One of the most common excuses I hear for why people are skipping the OG Summit is “I’d love to, but it’s just too expensive”

Are you ready for the next installment of “Good Excuse, Bad Excuse”? If this next one applies to you, you definitely do not need to come to the Summit. Good Excuse #2: There’s an App for That! The more electronically sophisticated among my readers (NOT mom this time) might recall a story last week about a prototype iPhone 5 being stolen at a bar in San Francisco. What you might not be aware of is that I was the guy who swiped it.
