summers are full of resort and community ministry for me, as they have been since 2006. this summer has been a good change from the familiar myrtle beach ones the past four summers. we finished two weeks of world changers, and we are headed into the next three weeks before our august 6th completion date. things are going well...
concerning the SBC convention a month ago: i have received many comments both of who have agreed and disagreed with mine on this blog. i hope the days ahead for southern baptists are KINGDOM ADVANCED and SPIRIT LED. i will look forward to the days coming as the great commission resurgence voted on report plays out in local churches, associations, state conventions, and all entities and auxiliaries of our convention. there can be great days ahead for the sbc...
i recently read a story in a state baptist paper of a man who came to know Christ as Savior at the age of 91. the story can be found at this web address: http://www.baptistcourier.com/4308.article ! what a great reminder that people of all shapes, sizes, ages, nationalities, and looks have been made by our Creator and can find salvation only in our Savior, Jesus Christ...

many of you have asked me in the past months concerning my dear friend and former supervisor Todd Wood. in the Spring of this year, Todd began the IMPACT ministries of Myrtle Beach. the new website for this ministry can be found at this web address: http://impactmb.org/ ... about a month ago i partnered with this ministry (that is not relating to the local association, state convention, or north american mission board at this time) because i believe and have no doubt in Todd's heart to reach the grand strand with the love and gospel of Jesus Christ. $1 a week is a simple sacrifice to help this ministry reach tourists and locals throughout 'redneck riviera'. will you prayerfully consider helping?
school related -- i am taking an online statistics two class this summer using the SPSS program. this fall i will take a teaching methods class and a seminar on childhood education. always appreciate your prayers in this area of my life!
finally i want to leave you with this picture that was taken the last week of june. five of my former staff from 2009 (two of which are also currently with me this summer on staff) and i had an opportunity to take in a part of a student service we had at our association office of over 165 people. it was a great snapshot from a blessed night and a great hot week of ministry...
