...for such is the kingdom of God

(Mark 10:13-16) And they brought young children to him, that he should touch them: and his disciples rebuked those that brought them. {14} But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God. {15} Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall not enter therein. {16} And he took them up in his arms, put his hands upon them, and blessed them. [KJV]

Anyone want to help bring the little children unto Jesus?

getting closer!!

I did it! Yikes - it took some time in prayer and meditation but I finally hit the "book it" button this morning. I now own a one-way ticket from John F Kennedy airport to the capital city of Zambia! I will leave NYC at 10:30 pm on January 15th and arrive in Lusaka on January 17th at 6:50 am.

Please pray for the following:
1 - to wrap up a million loose ends before the end of the year
2 - to see more churches get on board and excited about what God is doing in Africa
3 - for the Lord to provide more labourers for the harvest
4 - for the Lord Jesus Christ to be lifted up in every aspect!

noble

This past Sunday was another great time on the deputation trail. Originally I was scheduled to preach at a church in Columbia, Mississippi on Sunday morning - on Saturday the pastor contacted me and I was notified he needed to reschedule. Just a week earlier I had met a pastor that wanted me in his church but I just didn't have time on the schedule - I called and he quickly changed plans so I could come and preach at his church! Praise the LORD!! The name of the church on Sunday morning is called Berean Baptist Church - and as the Bible states, the Bereans were noble. This church was a true blessing - not only did the pastor go out of his way to allow me in but the church welcomed me with open arms! It certainly is a humbling experience to be a part of churches that go out of their way because of the love for what God is doing in and around the world!

The King is coming

Yesterday I traveled to Jackson, Mississippi to present the work in Zambia and share what God is doing in Africa! The preacher allowed me to show my video as well as speak to the people for a few minutes. This little church (Fellowship Baptist) has so many missionaries that come in that they no longer allow them the full Sunday evening service - the Pastor was telling me he was rarely getting to preach to his own people on Sunday nights... obviously you can see the missions heart this church has!

The preacher spoke on a passage having to do with king David returning to his thrown... but he made reference/application how King Jesus will return to His thrown - a good reminder to live godly and always be watching and waiting!
