Serving Central & South America

Foursquare Missions International has asked us to assist in caring and encouraging their field workers in Central and South America. Our assignment is to connect with the FMI missionaries in that region to offer personal care, encouragement, mentoring, and coaching. We will also train coaches and mentor national leaders in the region to help raise up more and better leaders for the harvest.

Coaching Leaders in the USA and Abroad

Becky and I are both certified personal coaches. We offer a proven systematic process to help those who are seeking to move toward greater health and effectiveness in their life and ministry. If you are interested in personal coaching, you can contact us here

Don't Quit Monday Mornings

They say most pastors feel like giving up and walking away Monday mornings.

The stress of pastoring, of feeling alone and overwhelmed can make any one of us want to go find a "real job".

But it doesn't have to be this way.

What if you could wake up Monday mornings knowing some encouragement was waiting for you?

Join the "Don't Quit Mondays" email

Every Monday morning there will be an email just for you, from me, a pastor who's been where you are. I have faced those dark times of discouragement where I wanted nothing more than to walk away. But, by God's grace God sustained me through 50 years of faithful ministry.

You may not be called to pastor for 50 years, this might just be a single season in your life. But wouldn't it be great to do it faithfully and with joy?

Sign up and start changing your Monday mornings.

Take me to the sign up.

Use these cards when you want to display content with an image, such as a blog post or product. They’re built with CSS grid to enable the 3-column layout. When you select the “Cards Grid Container,” you’ll see a red icon on the top right. Click the icon to edit the number of columns, the column gap, and more!

The card images have fit set to cover, so they fill their masking container without stretching. Try making the “Cards Image Mask” a circle using border-radius or adjusting the size ratio using top padding. Don’t forget to set an alt description for each image, which will help with accessibility.

An Ordinary Witness

Jesus told his first group of disciples that they would be his witnesses on earth after he left them on their own. They would take the Good News of grace and redemption around the world to all people everywhere. But Jesus knew that they couldn’t do what he was asking of them by on their own. He would have to send the Holy Spirit to give them the boldness and power they lacked to fulfill this impossible task...

The Faith of Friends

God did not design people to go through life alone. We all need friends, especially when life gets difficult and the going gets tough. There are somethings that you just need others to help you with, that you weren’t meant to go through alone. The Apostle Luke tells the story of some friends who would stop at nothing to get their friend the help he needed. In chapter 5 of his Gospel he tells of some men who had a friend that was paralyzed and unable to move around on his own...

Peace in a Scary World

The world we live in is scary. It seems that everywhere we turn we see senseless violence, national conflicts, natural disasters, and racial tensions. The world seems to be going mad. Hateful rhetoric feels the air waves, and everyone seems to be upset about something or someone. It is hard to feel safe because of the random acts of violence that are reported all around the world every day...

Prophetic Preaching & Teaching

We are available to come your church, conference or event as God opens doors. Our focus is to encourage leaders through a fresh and relevant message that builds faith and helps develop spiritually empowered ministry. By blending over 50 years of preaching practicum and a prophetic gifting we will help equip more workers for a greater harvest.
