Got back from Omaha yesterday afternoon and jump into a pretty short week here. I’ve got to leave next Tuesday for Washington, DC and the President’s Prayer Breakfast, which isn’t just a large breakfast banquet, but all day small-group sessions to help people connect. Sara, Brad and Paul Young (The Shack) will be going as [...]

This weekend I’ve been hanging out with a bunch of free rangers in Omaha, NE and having a wonderful time. I’ve talked nonstop for two and a half days in a string of conversations that just unfold during the day with different people flowing in and out of them. I love the hunger and the [...]

I’m off to Omaha, Nebraska in the morning so I’m going to let Nancy do my blog today.

He’s [...]

This was in my inbox this morning, and I wanted to share it with all of you. Of course, my name got attached to all of this, but they all know it is coming from my ‘team’, which are simply friends and friends of friends who want to help those who are in deep need [...]

This is from Brother Michael, my friend in Kenya: We would like to say thank you and thank you let our Almighty God bless you for having a Godly and caring heart. The Lord has given you the same love and I would like to say your books have changed the whole of my life [...]

I received this email today from our brothers and sisters in Kenya: “Yesterday we managed to distribute to 27 families. I shared with them that this is the help where they need to depend in God because we have some brethren who need to be helped too. We are buying the mats for the children. [...]

Over $3500.00 has been sent in so far to help with relief in Kenya, from four or five different countries on three continents.

I love how Father intersects people. Just a few moments ago I received this from a man named Sam, with whom I’ve corresponded in the past.
