Yesterday I started to share with you how you can take time each day with Jesus and your Bible. I realize that starting with a pad of paper and a Bible might seem a bit scary so I want to show you what this looks like for me each day. What you are going to [...]
How important is the Bible in your life? I recognize that the first response many of us offer would be one of significance. But take some time today and really consider what role Scripture plays in your life each day. Psalm 119 is overrun with words that are emotionally charged and full of emotion and [...]
Our team, along with the Roy family, went to the mall yesterday. We ate at a Chinese buffet, spent time with Samuel and Barnabas (Dr. Roy’s sons) and the took time to get some Indian coffee. It’s interesting how differently things are priced here in India. We ate lunch for $3 and went to a [...]
The boat trip was a good adventure. During the same night we departed from shore we went to an island and preached the Gospel. As soon as we got our position and supplies for our program to start I suddenly felt a heaviness in my spirit. I could literally feel the spiritual darkness in that [...]

Today the team went with Dr. Roy to the Seminary. All of us headed out early to catch the one hour trip to the seminary. The train was overloaded with people, and we were forced to stand the full hour. Upon arriving at the Seminary, Dr. Roy went to teach his theology classes. He then [...]

Monday was designed for us to travel outside of the city to preach the Gospel but it rained so severe last night that the roads leading out of the city had been shut down forbidding us from venturing out.

Preaching from Ruth 2:8-13, he compared the example of Boaz helping Ruth, so should Christians help in Church, in the Community, and in the [...]
