Global revival and evangelization… Cross cultural ministry with Power!
Okay, so you’re out on the road and traveling to only-God-knows-where and places-where-only-diehard-missionaries would go, with 3 kids and another on the way.
You’re in a hotel room with 2 beds.
What would you do?
Here’s my first all time favorite tip for survival when you’re going places for God with your family.
Strip the top sheet and line [...]
Speaking of all hell breaking loose (see previous post on prayer)… the terrorist attacks in Mumbia, the takeover in Congo, and in our own good old U.S - a Walmart employee trampled to death by Black Friday shoppers. Okay, maybe the shopping thing seems trivial with the other larger scale happenings in the world, [...]
In many nations, terror is breaking forth, violence is trying to overtake governments, Christians are being persecuted. So how do you pray in the midst of “hell on earth”?
I’m praying for Mexico, a country that is being overrun by a very violent drug cartel. Using fear, intimidation and violence these drug runners are literally attempting [...]
Did you know the Kingdom of God is advancing… with you or without you? It’s scriptural, and God will find a man to work through! If you’re desperate for God yourself, and desperate to see global revival, then you must grab hold of the Kingdom and get it in your life.

Here are some quick notes on vision from the Practical Ministry/Marketing [...]
Okay, so you’ve got a vision to GO… to bring Christ to the nations… to see the NATIONS IN REVIVAL! But what you’re lacking is the finances. That’s where most visions end, and I believe it’s because we haven’t done a good job of sharing our vision with others.
Christians can be funny about money - [...]
I need to take a minute and recommend an excellent resource for ANYONE who has a heart for global evangelization and global revival. Perspectives on the World Christian Movement edited by Ralph Winter and Steven C. Hawthorne, is a compilation of various authors who are authorities in cross-cultural ministry.
Alan and I have used this as [...]
Missionaries - beware! Especially Western missionaries… and particularly American missionaries! We have a bad reputation of entering a nation and taking over. Granted, in pioneer missions, this may be exactly what is needed, for the incoming missionary to “do it all.” However, most missionaries never move out of that position, essentially keeping themselves as over [...]
Got to take a minute and tell you about Steve Gray’s new book called My Absurd Religion - By Which I Make My Living. I had opportunity to work with Pastor Steve on the beginnings of this book and I’ve got to tell you - this book is going to revolutionize Christianity.
