It was 5 years ago that Lana and I re-invented, re-tooled and re-worked our Lives to obey the call to establish Bible Training Centers in the nations. Being Born again in 1968 and subsequently called to preach drove our lives into the Word of God. Psalms 2:8 became a focal point of my life. "Ask of me and I will Give the nations for your inheritance and the gates of the earth for your Inheritance. My first missions trip was in 1968 to Mexico. 44 years later I have been in 60 nations. Over the last five years we Have established 4,351 Bible Training Centers with 79,500 students and 9,864 graduates. We are now seeing the fruit of the harvest increase exponentially. The miracles, salvations, raising up of countless thousands of ministers is absolutely astounding. Pastors, evangelists, teachers, apostles, counselors, a huge labor force for churches, have made such a huge difference for the body of Christ world wide. Only the Father Himself has the total picture imbedded in His heart. As we complete 2011, many more victories lie ahead on the terrain of ministry. In spite of recession God's work continues to flourish and prosper. Remember, God's ways are higher than our ways, and His thoughts are greater than ours. We have asked Him for the ends of the earth, and as The Apostle says, "the ends of the earth have come upon us." The earth is blanketed with the young and the old and those who thrust forth the Great Commission and they are multiplying in intensity and immensity. Many have become radical, leaving their careers and lifestyles and redeeming the nations with God's grace. The true disciples of Jesus have become radical for Christ. We covet your continued front line prayers for us as we travel. Travel everywhere is changing and becomingly increasingly difficult. Price increases, New regulations, and Many difficulties. There are many situations and circumstances that occur on each and every trip calling for the wisdom of God. Please put our itinerary on your refrigerator, in your Bible, where you pray, at work and keep us at the top of your prayer list.  So grateful!! | 
We have the blessed honor to see the many faces of Jesus every Where we go. The faces of those who have great faith.The faces of those who do great exploits. The fearless faces of those who lay their lives in the paths of danger and great suffering. This is triumphant body of Christ who are not only "surviving" but are "thriving."
