🎉 A Birthday, A Ministry, A Mission: 67 Years of Life & 28 Years of Service 🎉

This Sunday, August 17, I’ll be celebrating my 67th birthday—a milestone that fills my heart with gratitude to God. 🎂 But this celebration is more than candles on a cake; it represents a life poured out in service to Christ and to others.

For 28 years of ministry, the Lord has given me the privilege of preaching, teaching, encouraging, and serving people across nations. For 21 years, my family and I ministered in Italy, where we saw God’s hand at work in ways that humbled us daily. Today, our journey has brought us to the Philippines, where we continue to serve as missionaries—bringing the light of Christ to communities that desperately need hope. 🌍

As I look back, I see God’s faithfulness in every step of the way. And as I look forward, I see opportunities—big opportunities—for impact, outreach, and transformation.

🌟 Why This Birthday Is Different

This year, instead of asking for gifts or personal celebrations, I’m asking for something far greater:

👉 Support our GoFundMe campaign: https://t.co/nuxLMx8dMS

Your support will help us:

  • ✝️ Share the Gospel with more people who may never have heard it

  • 🍞 Provide hope and help to families in need

  • 🌱 Plant seeds that will grow into strong communities of faith

  • 🙏 Equip future leaders for the Kingdom of God

Every dollar given becomes a tool in God’s hands—helping us reach people we may never meet, but who are precious in His sight.

💬 A Personal Invitation

Friends, I’m trusting God for the rest. If He has blessed you through my ministry in some way, or if you simply want to be part of the ongoing story of lives changed by Christ, I humbly invite you to celebrate this milestone with me by giving, praying, and sharing.

Let’s make this birthday not just about one man’s life, but about a mission to touch lives for eternity.

🙌 Closing Thoughts

At 67, I feel both grateful for the years behind me and excited for the road ahead. Thank you for standing with us, whether through prayer, encouragement, or support. Together, we can continue to make a difference—one life, one family, one community at a time.

To God be the glory!

  🕊️ Why Should You — or Shouldn’t You — Attend Church? I’ve spent most of my life surrounded by the rhythms of church life. From Sunday School and Vacation Bible School to revival meetings, baptisms, and Bible studies — I’ve seen the full spectrum of what it means to “go to church.” Church has been a regular part of my routine, my upbringing, and my community for as long as I can remember. But here’s the truth: It wasn’t until I surrendered my heart and life to Jesus Christ at the age of 14 that I truly understood the biblical reason for going to church. 🙋‍♂️ So Why Do We Go to Church? Some people go because they’re trying to check the box. Others go because they feel guilty if they don’t. Some just need a little spiritual boost to get through the week. But none of those are the right reasons. Yes, Hebrews 10:25 reminds us: “Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the...

We Cannot Face Satan On Our Own Terms — Only Through the Cross As Believers, we must never make the mistake of thinking we can confront Satan in our own strength, even by imitating how Jesus faced him during His earthly ministry. Jesus met the enemy as the sinless Son of God—perfect in obedience, unmatched in holiness, and without the corruption of sin that taints our human nature. We are foolish to believe we can meet Satan on the same terms. We are not Christ—we are His followers. And our power does not come from ourselves, but from what He has already accomplished on our behalf. The only way of true escape from the enemy’s grip is not self-effort, religious works, or spiritual bravado. It is to look exclusively to the finished work of Jesus at the Cross —where the battle was decisively won, and where the enemy was eternally defeated. At the Cross, Christ became our Substitute . Through His perfect life and His willing, sacrificial death, He conquered the powers of darkness on all c...

  ✝️ Christianity: Not Just Something You Do—It’s Who You Are There’s a dangerous misconception floating around today—that Christianity is a part-time hobby, a weekend ritual, or a list of dos and don'ts. But let me tell you from experience: Christianity is not something you do. It’s who you are. Or more accurately, it’s who you’re supposed to be. This month marks 53 years since I gave my life to Christ . I wasn’t looking for Him, but He was looking for me. And He used the most powerful vessel He could find— a praying great-grandmother , 63 years my senior, who refused to let hell have me. I didn’t understand God. I had no clue about heaven, hell, or the weight of eternity. But she knew . She saw past what I was into and spoke into who I was called to be. I’ll never forget the day she cornered me and said, point blank: “Boy, you are not going to hell! You will preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ.” It wasn’t a suggestion. It was a prophetic declaration fueled by relentless ...
