This past weekend, Jana and I drove to Winfield, Kansas, where I was asked to speak for a youth rally. We have been praying about this event since the first of June. It was good to reconnect with Brandon and Sarah Jellings of Millington Street Baptist Church (Pastor K.B. Murray), and their young people on Saturday night. They had rented out the town's recreation center (a very nice venue), had inflatables and shaved ice and nachos and pizza....all the makings of a good teen event. There was a great group of young people who came from Friendship Baptist Church in Owasso, OK to provide music and media - and they did a great job! When it was over, the Millington Street youth group had 67 first time visitors, and 15 of them responded to the invitation to accept Christ as Savior! The good people of Millington Street Baptist did a good job of counseling with all the young people who came. God really did something big!

.JPG) My family and I just returned from a fascinating trip through parts of Asia. We first arrived in Thailand for two nights and stayed in the city of Bangkok. We visited with Rick and Tammy Salmon and their boys and I preached for Ricky on Sunday morning. It truly is amazing all the are involved in with their church, with many different types of outreach, and with other churches in the country-side. We were blessed to be with them.

Jana and I are in the town of Buckley, Wales, with our friends, Bob and Jan Marshall. We are in the middle of a trip to visit (and hopefully, encourage) a host of missionaries, most of whom are located in the UK. We have met a number of them we hadn't met before - a huge blessing. We were blessed and humbled by our visit with missionaries in Belgium and Scotland.
Yesterday we connected with a group of old friends, and we had a wonderful reunion. These folks convince me of their love for Christ and for the souls He died for every time we have any time together with them at all. Their very presence in a different country and culture, with all the challenges that go with that, is a testimony to the grace of God working in their own lives. How hard it must be for them to be a continent away from thei ...

I got home today after spending a week with some great teenagers at a youth camp in southwest Missouri. Sagmount Camp is located just south of Joplin, MO, and was the gathering place this week for young people from many churches in the midwest. These kids played hard, sang their hearts out, encouraged each other in the Lord, and responded to the challenges from God's Word.
I had the privilege of preaching eight messages, and the Lord really blessed. There were scores of decisions - kids got saved, others rededicated their lives to Christ, still others responded to God's calling on their lives to serve Him in full time ministry. It was such a huge blessing to see God's Word impact these great young people. I am in awe that the Lord could use someone approaching 50 (but not there yet) to connect with teens.....God is always doing "exceedingl abu ...
