TSM Newsletter, February 2010: A Voice for Our Generation
Wouldn't it be a welcome change to have a John the Baptist preaching in our world? So much ministry today is entertainment, glitz, humanism, and superficiality. But John spoke the only message that can change a life forever, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world."

With the tremendous adversity and upheaval in the world around us, we may be tempted to think that all is going to be lost, that God is losing the battle against evil, that Satan is taking over.

I had a wonderful, fruitful and eye-opening trip to Winnipeg, Manitoba and parts north in September, ministering in the Native American churches.

TSM Newsletter, September 2009: Looking in the Face of Jesus
Lately, I've been preaching about "looking in the face of Jesus." The scriptures talk about "looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith" and about seeing "the light of knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ."

Then you will be able to make the choices that lead to godly prosperity and success.

 

TSM Newsletter, July 2009
One of my great joys in this ministry is sharing the Good News of the Savior with people of all kinds of denominational, cultural, economic and racial backgrounds. I do not consider myself a minister to a particular segment of society or a certain denomination, but, as John Wesley said, "I look upon all the world as my parish."

 

TSM Newsletter, June 2009
On May 24, Susan and I celebrated our 39th wedding anniversary. I know it may be hard to believe that a young man such as myself could be married for so long, but it's true. I was still wet behind the ears at the time, and I married an older woman. She was 20 and I was 19. Each year until my birthday in July, she is one year older than me, which gives me opportunity to tease her a bit.

TSM Newsletter March 2009: Miracles in India
The striking feature of this trip was outstanding instantaneous healings. We saw the hand of God move in mighty ways in signs, wonders and miracles in every place we went. Sometimes in our meetings, sometimes praying for a needy individual, sometimes as we walked through a village preaching the Gospel, people would come and receive from God.

TSM Newsletter, January, 2009: Hearing the Voice of God (pdf)

As we walk with God in these final days before Jesus' return, it is essential that we learn to hear the voice of God. there are two things that are absolutely necessary. We must hear what God is saying and we must obey.

TSM Newsletter, September 2008: Billy Graham School of Evangelism (pdf)

Last week, I had the great privilege of attending the Billy Graham School of Evangelism at the ministry's training center in Asheville, North Carolina, located in the beautiful Appalachian Mountains. Billy Graham, who is now almost 90 and in poor health, did not appear in person, but by video. But his mark, and more importantly, the mark of the One he serves was all over the event.

 

Go Preach Newsletter, August 2008: To Every Creature (pdf)

This month I would like to share a report on some ofour recent meetings. It is exciting to see what God will doif we are just faithful to go. This ministry is called to reachout to all people, rather than a particular age group, race or denomination. I thank God that He has opened doorsfor us to minister to people from all walks of life as well as different religious backgrounds. We have been ableto minister to Baptists and Pentecostals, Lutherans and Methodists, old and young, Asians, Africans, Native Americans,and Europeans. I thank God He loves us all. He sent Jesus to die for the sins of all the world.

 

Go Preach Newsletter: July 2008: A fresh wind is blowing. . . (pdf)

Back in the 70s, the Holy Spirit began to move like a wind among young people in our nation. Many of us were searching for reality. Frustrated with the hypocrisy we saw in society, we were looking for love, joy, and peace.

Go Preach Newsletter: June 2008: He that has not sinned. . . (pdf)

Go Preach Newsletter: May 2008: Deep calleth unto deep (pdf)

Deep, deep down in our heart there is a yearning that is even more important that these things. It goes to the very heart of the matter. It's something that gives us understanding of who
we are. It's something which brings security and peace into our inward being. It brings us to a place of rest, out of
which everything else in life flows.

GoPreach Newsletter March 2008: Thank you for being a part of the journey! (pdf)

Our ministry began 25 years ago this month. In March, 1983, we published the first issue of a Christian newspaper called the Heartland News. I wrote three articles in that premier issue: one on the origin of sin, one on repentance and one on being born again. I've given a lot of sermons since that time, but I guess in reality I'm still preaching the same message 25 years later, "You must be born again!"

The Power of the Gospel, May 2007 Newsletter
Wherever I go, I am seeing the power of God's glorious Good News. The Lord is confirming His Word with signs following. It's the Gospel that is the "power of God." It is when we present the redemptive facts-that man sinned and lost his place with God, that God in His mercy sent His son, who was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, who died for our sins at Calvary, was buried and rose again the third day-it is when we present this message, then God works. . . confirming the Word with healing, deliverance and changed lives. "Getting religion" never helped anyone. But new life through Jesus Christ is the answer to all of mankind's problems.

 

TSM Newsletter, January 2007: Preaching the Gospel to the Poor
As we once again begin a new year, my heart is filled with expectancy. The Lord spoke to me at the beginning of 2006, ". . .ye have not passed this way heretofore. . .Sanctify yourselves: for tomorrow the LORD will do wonders among you." (Joshua 3:4-5, KJV). Truly, 2006 proved to be a year of new territories and conquest. It was my first year of full-time ministry on the evangelistic field. God gave me more favor and opened more new doors in new places than in all my previous 22 years of ministry. I can look back and truly say, "Look what the Lord has done."

 

December, 2006 Newsletter: The Ingredients for a Miracle
As I think about Christmas, the story of the angel Gabriel's visit to Mary captures my imagination. I am amazed by this young girl's response to the Word of the Lord as delivered by the angel. He came to her with an unfathomable promise: And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. (Luke 1:31, KJV).

TSM Newsletter, January 2006: India 2005: A Fishing Trip to Remember
