This week on Facebook: Forum Speakers, An Opportunity, and George Muller Praying for our Counties.

Speakers for the Forum on Fatherlessness
You may have heard by now that we will be hosting our first ever Forum on Fatherlessness at Grace Baptist Church in Billings, MT on March 24th.

The Falegelling Glass
When my oldest nephew was a little boy, he would often go to Grandma’s house while his mom was at work or running errands. One afternoon, he discovered the falegelling glass. He held it up to his hand and saw that his hand got bigger. He held it up to Grandma’s nose and found that …
Trip Update
I can’t believe I’ve been home for nearly two weeks and still haven’t had a chance to send out an update on how the October trip went. In short: It was wonderful.

One of my favorite verses is found in Psalm 107: “Oh, that men would praise the Lord for His goodness and for his wonderful works to the children of men.” Sometimes, it is hard to find things that seem “wonderful” in our lives. We see the valley ahead of us, the mountains towering high and …
What’s Going On In 2013
Okay. I know it’s already February, so this might seem a little late, but here goes anyway! I have spent much time in prayer about the Lord’s direction for this year. In fact, when I came home from Kenya, I took an entire day to go out, hike along the river and find a quiet …
