It gives me great joy to write you and to hear from you as well. How are you? Hope you've treated the year great so far? My family and I are doing great. Since the news article was written on my ministry, we have seen physical attacks as we've never seen before. It used to be just spiritual, but now it also spilled into the physical. We are at peace, our joy knows no bounds and we can't just stop sharing about Christ. A [...]
Since my last letter, I've received testimonies galore. It's almost overwhelming what God has done in the life of so many readers. Those who wrote me back have given me permission to publish their testimonies, but I'm concerned we may not have space for all the testimonies. Write me back and let me know if I should write down more testimonies, or just create a link where you can go and celebrate with those who have received their breakthroughs? You know, the fastest way [...]
Samson, a man of destiny, could not be stopped. It didn't matter that you sent 10 enemies to him or 10,000 - he would defeat them all. His call was to bring salvation to Israel and he was well equipped for this. But for the lust of a young man, the trappings of beauty and the lure of temptation, Samson surrendered His God given purpose, on the alter of sexual pleasure. He sold his birthright for pottage. Sound familiar? As the Philistines celebrated their [...]
El Salvador is an abbreviation of the word "El Salvador del mundo" which means "Savior of the world". My Salvadoran host, Adan, a man who drove me around the city for hours, explaining every nook and corner, explained this to me. Adan has a small family and a thriving hotel business. Our discussion centered around the fact that he became successful because he was able to see. He had the opportunity to travel outside of El Salvador when he was younger. This allowed him [...]
Located just outside a home I spent 8 years growing up in Lagos, Nigeria were thriving shops that sold parts for cars. The culture integral to the success of these shops was: "connection and settlement." Let me explain. An entrepreneur, sensing a need to open up a new shop, since he has outgrown his old shop, would travel to the rural cities and hire someone. This new hire (protege) would live with the entrepreneur, learn the ropes of the trade and serve faithfully. When [...]
While reading through the exhibits at the Genocide museum in Kigali, Rwanda recently, I came across the word Hamitic. I'm not fully sure why this word stuck out like a sore thumb, but I decided to look more into it - Hamitic simply means being a descendant of Ham. Ham was one of the 3 sons of Noah. A false theory developed overtime, amongst many, that those of Ham's lineage were different and perhaps inferior. Which fascinates me because I noticed that some of [...]
As a track athlete at the University of Indianapolis, many years ago, I would do the practices with the team, get ready, even hop on the bus and travel to the track meet. However, when it was time to suit up and get on the track, I would develop cold feet and offer up an excuse why I couldn't run. I was afraid of the crowds. What if I came last? A boy named Bryce seized on this and laughed me to scorn, saying [...]
