You can’t be in multicultural Christian ministry for long without hearing about Dr. John M. Perkins. I was saddened to hear of his passing on March 13, although for him it is a blessing as he goes to be with the Lord. Besides reading his books, I got the chance to hear him speak at...

After driving to Heniker to get some money out for my stay, I drove down by the river that ran through town. For those who don’t know me, spending time around rivers, lakes, and oceans is one of the things that brings me peace. I found a place in the center of town where I... Continue Reading →

To him, there are no limits as to people and places where the Gospel should go. “You know that I have not hesitated to preach anything that would be helpful to you but have taught you publicly and from house to house. [21] I have declared to... Continue Reading →
For those who remember DC Talk, they came out with a song called What if I Stumble, and the chorus went, “What if I stumble? What if I fall? What if I lose my step and I make fools of us all? Will the love continue, when the walk becomes a crawl? What if stumble?... Continue Reading →
Donald R. Foster 1934-2024 It has been over a decade since we have experienced the loss of a close family member.
