Have you ever said something so many times that it lost its meaning? I remember sitting as a child and saying “beaver” or “gopher” over and over until it sounded foreign and alien. There was a day when I was praying over my dinner a few years ago and I simply recited the same prayer I had always said. It covered the basics: “Dear Jesus, thank you for today. Thank you for this food. Keep us safe and help us have a goo...

It has been on my heart to start writing more serialized blogs and as I sat in this coffee shop in Antigua, Guatemala, I asked the Lord what to write about. Earlier this week I revisited some of the villages that I worked in on my Race three years ago. Aderkee started helping, along with a team of girls from Gap Year, at the local church. One of the girls taught about the Lord’s prayer. I loved that and I feel like t...

In the late 1700’s, William Carey had a conviction and an ambition that was uncommon. His belief was that the Great Commission of Jesus was just as pertinent to modern believers as it was to Jesus’ disciples. When trying to speak about the need for missionaries to be sent overseas at a Baptist convention, he was met with this response: "Young man, sit down! You are an enthusiast. When God pleases to convert the heath...

With fire in His eyes and hair like wool, And a voice like a torrent of water so full; Out of His mouth comes a double-edged sword; He’s coming in glory, He’s coming to make war.   Marantha! Come, Lord Jesus. Return to us.   I have 8 more days on this incredible journey with Gap C. In case you forgot (since I’ve done a poor job at updating y’all,) I have been leading a group of World Racers ...

4/9/2021 Have I Seen Him? By Oswald Chambers “After that He appeared in another form unto two of them.” — Mark 16:12 Being saved and seeing Jesus are not the same thing. Many are partakers of God’s grace who have never seen Jesus. When once you have seen Jesus, you can never be the same, other things do not appeal as they used to do. Always distinguish between what you see Jesus to be, and what He has ...

Whoa! What a statement! How in a world so filled with division and racism and malicious words and cruelty could someone need MORE hatred? Who could possibly benefit from hatred? I could. My name is Philip Wilson. I am a son of the eternal God. I am made in His image. I am the temple of the most holy being in existence. He is called the Holy Spirit. He is sweet like milk and honey. I want to be so filled with His p...

Aderkee is a dear friend of mine from Guatemala. He led my team into greater humility, joy, and expectation for the Lord to work in our midst. Now, Aderkee works at the Adventures in Missions base near Antigua, where he continues to serve the local nearby villages and activate believers into going and loving their neighbor. Enjoy this incredible testimony of his faith!   When I was little I made some dang...

This is Ευαγγ?λιο- evangel- the gospel.   I was wandering- blind to my blind to my blindness- only unaware. Head down, feet dragging; heart low, hope lagging, I trudged along with nowhere in mind.   But without my deserving, I stumbled upon... treasure. A beautiful man lifted my head, called me by name, gave me joy beyond measure.   "You're alive with my life, you are filled wit...

Hello! This week, I come to you with an extremely amateur podcast. I sat down with Nathan Chandler and Brandon Munoz to go through Galatians 5 and really talk about what it means to walk in the freedom of Christ. Nathan and Brandon are team leading the men’s team that I am over and it has been a gift to be able to lead and lead with these men of God. Please enjoy and give feedback! I’d love to make this ...

Letters from the Church: Peru I was able to stay with this amazing family in Peru two years ago. They are full of passion and gentleness and intentionality. Tim and Holly lead their family to know Jesus, themselves, and each other deeply to build up the Kingdom in our hearts. This year has been challenging, as Tim will share here. Please keep them in prayer! As I stand on the rooftop listening to the ra...
