Baptism at Hope




Wow - how amazing is it to baptize people who are going to the next level in their walk with Christ!!
Spectacular evening at one of our elders' homes - the Hicksons, a festival of joy! So many had such great stories, God is so good.. that's Brandon ministering with me, the pool is surrounded by friends and loved ones, it was awesome...
I love pastoring Hope Church, what a joy! Check out our website - www.hopechurch.tv - you can listen to messages and follow the journey of Hope.

East Africa Going Strong!



Just receiving new reports from Uganda and the team...men headed into Kenya and Rwanda - over 200 leaders in Maximized Manhood monthly training classes... tremendous impact. Thank you to all who helped make this trip happen, my Pastor Phil Pringle, Rusty Greer, Mike Bower, our friends in Finland, friends in Indonesia and many others! Thank you! The impact is huge and ongoing.
These are photos of meeting with the Prime Minister of Uganda, who came to the Saturday men's event, and a shot of over 300 pastors praying for the men who were at one of the events in Kampala.
Plan on going with us again next year to Uganda for tremendous meetings across the nation - it will be sometime end of August next year - most likely around the U.S. labor day holiday.
great stuff!

MEXICO

Pastors meeting in Juarez last night - mens event tonight!
Tremendous time with key leaders, imparting the vision of reaching their city - shared Hombria al Maximo (Maximized Manhood) and gave copy of book to each man- it really hit strong... we have been coming to Juarez for years bringing shoes to the poorest children every Thanksgiving (U.S. holiday in November).
It has been a high impact outreach for our church (Hopechurch.tv) and very important to churches here - every church we brought shoes to last year added people during the outreach - one man told me that 8 families joined the church due to the shoe outreach - this year we hope to take 1500 pairs of shoes to the children!
Now the doors are open to bringing the men's movement - amen! John Paul Infante is speaking at the men's event tonight - he'll do great! I'm back to Dallas - JohnPaul was just in Colombia ministering last week - heard from Giullermo Aguayo, he was there last month - awesome - Pastor John Arana is in Guanajuato next week - let me know what you're up to! Alex Mitala and team of men are headed to Kenya next month - I am in events in U.S. - headed to Europe and South America in October/November!
Stay in touch!

Focus on the goal - stay in motion!
