Offering


“I may no longer depend on pleasant impulses to bring me before the Lord. I must rather respond to principles I know to be right, whether I feel them to be enjoyable or not.”

ENCOUNTER: Bronx, NY


ENCOUNTER is the theme that God has given this ministry for this year/season and we are putting them together in cities as we travel. ENCOUNTER BRONX, NY was no walk in the park. The presence of God was incredible. What an amazing week.

So many things happen this week I dont have the time or words to paint a picture of God's good work this past weekend and ENCOUNTER BRONX @ Van Nest Assembly. We started off right with Friday's event having 15 people come forward to accept Christ as savior! One of those 15 was a family member of mine who God has been softening over time. Praise God!

The house was packed on Saturday where I brought the message and many came forward seeing so many people (pictured above) seeking God. The church was packed out and I was thrilled as I believe God was to have one place so devoted to God's will. Sunday serves were amazing and many were delivered from things in their lives as well as themselves as we focused on giving God our trials.

Keep us in prayer as we continue to ENCOUNTER God in every city we visit. Now, off to the next place and see what God does there.

Sin and Anger

“Sins are like circles in the water when a stone is thrown into it; one produces another. When anger was in Cain's heart, murder was not far off.”
