  Fifty Years Ago, A Young Man Stepped Off the Bus On June 4, 1976, a young man stepped off a bus at Recruit Training Command, San Diego, California. He was an E-1 Recruit assigned to Company 125. His Company Commander was ABH1 Walsh. His Adjutant was Airman Williams. He had no idea where the journey would lead. After boot camp came Radioman "A" School in San Diego. Then the USS Dubuque (LPD-8), where he would serve from 1976 to 1980. Along the way, something even more important happened—he met a young woman in 1978 who would become his wife in 1979. More than four decades later, they are still walking life's journey together. The years moved quickly. Chief Petty Officer in 1988. Chief Warrant Officer in 1991. Limited Duty Officer in 1996. Retirement from the United States Navy in 2003 after 27 years of service. And today? That young recruit serves as Senior Pastor of Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International, sharing the Gospel and helping families throughout the Philipp...

  THE VISION WILL SPEAK This morning, while sitting at the breakfast table enjoying a few of my favorites—oatmeal, a glass of water mixed with apple cider vinegar, and a sports drink—it suddenly hit me: with the release of my newest book, You Reap What You Sow (2nd Edition) ( https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H3QMCKCL ), I have now written more than 40 books . As I sat there reflecting on that milestone, I sensed the Lord gently reminding me of His promise in Habakkuk 2:3: "For the vision is yet for an appointed time, but at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry." What began years ago as a calling, a burden, and a vision has become a growing testimony of God's faithfulness. To say that I am excited about what the Lord is doing through this latest book—released today, June 2, in paperback, hardcover, and Kindle eBook on Amazon—would be an understatement. I believe the best is yet to come. God's prom...

  🚨 THE CLOCK IS TICKING: THE RAINS BEGIN TOMORROW 🚨 Tomorrow, June 1, the six-month rainy season officially begins in the Philippines.

  THE RAINS ARE COMING. THIS IS NOT A DRILL. On June 1, the six-month rainy season officially begins in the Philippines. For many, that's just a weather report. For millions of families, it's a season of uncertainty, flooding, landslides, damaged homes, lost livelihoods, hunger, displacement, and sometimes even death. My wife and I were there in 2025. We saw the aftermath. We spoke with families whose homes were underwater. We watched people try to rebuild their lives with almost nothing. We witnessed the fear in parents' eyes, as they wondered how they would feed their children if another storm hit. This is not a headline to us. These are real people. Real families. Real children. The hardest part? Most of the suffering happens far from the cameras. Out of sight often becomes out of mind. But the need is no less urgent. This year's goal is $12,500. Pilgrim Outreach Ministries International is now preparing to help, where and when we can, with emergency assistance, food...
