With ten actors, a full band, and nine different songs, “From Patmos- A Musical Review” portrayed the life of Christ and His soon return. At the end of each of the four performances, the gospel was preached to those attending. Twenty-nine people (mostly young adults) made decisions to follow Christ! That alone was worth all […]
Last month, I joined the ten-member cast of IHOP-KC’s Easter drama, “From Patmos- A Musical Review”. The musical tells the life of Christ from the perspective of the Apostle John imprisoned on the island of Patmos. We are singing nine different songs. The musical ends with the crucifixion of Jesus, His resurrection and finally Jesus […]

Things are going well in Port-au-Prince. God is doing so much. My primary ministry is coaching children in math, grammar, and word building in a class for students who have fallen behind. Watch the video above to get the latest update!
Upon arriving in Port-au-Prince at the beginning of the month, I was surprised to discover my main ministry in Haiti would be one-on-one teaching in the ministry’s K-12 school, Morning Star Christian Academy.
