I was able to get a few donations for my Birthday in order to purchase some Spanish Bibles.  My home church has donated some Bibles.  I got a few donations from the church I preached at last Sunday night.  More is needed.  This is a call on my life and I want it to succeed.  The first major goal: to supply Children's Hospital with 500 bags.  This seems ambitious but I think it can be done.  When it is done then I think this ministry will really take off. More people will see what good it does and how it is reaching and affecting people lives. I am grateful and thankful that God called me to serve Him in this way.  It has been a personal struggle but I know in the end it will all be worth it. I'm off to fundraise for the 500 bags!

Got to present the ministry to my church and a sister church in town Sunday night.  The presentation at the other church went a lot better than the one at my own church. I was finally able to give the sermon that I had written for the ministry about 1 Peter 2:25.  Longest sermon I have done so far.  It was well received.  Got some donations in hand and promises of more to come.  The ministry is really starting to take off.  I'm so glad I decided to listen to the Lord and follow His lead for my life.  My way sure wasn't working.

2024 My first Bible campaign is about to kick off.  PVL is needing more Bibles to distribute.  The company that donated the starter box will donate again but only once a year, so not again until September.  My goal is have people donate $20 for a Bible so that they can contribute to spreading the Gospel.  Anyone reading this blog please consider donating $20 for a Bible.  You can do so on the donations page here on the website.  I still have a few left to distribute but I would rather not run out and have plenty to keep the ministry running smoothly.  Thank you to all of you that have been following me and praying for me during  this journey.  God is in this and He will continue this work.  I will continue this work. It has been such a blessing to me to honor God with my time and talents.  He has done so much for me.  It's time for me to "Go and spread the Gospel".

The YouTube channel is setup now.  First 2 videos have been posted.  I have posted 2 sermons on my YouTube channel. https://www.youtube.com/live/c4hIUIB51Us?si=4DMLeLHA6c1YkHom      This link will get you to the channel where you can subscribe.  The plan is to do more sermons, informational videos on PVL, possibly some on Scheuermanns Kyphosis (my other daughter has this disease), some fun videos about me growing up as an Army brat in Germany, and eventually some podcasts with experts on PVL and Scheuermanns.  Stay tuned.  Please check out the sermons.  Like. Comment. and Subscribe.  Thank you for being a part of this journey.  May God continue to bless you.  Again let us know how we can pray for you.  Leave a comment here or send us an email.

I have started a YouTube channel for the ministry.  I plan to put devotionals, sermons, discussions on topics of interest, and hopefully have some podcasts with local community members and church leaders.  It's all in the beginning phase.  First to go on there will be my sermons that I have already done.  I will read and record them and get them on there. The plan is by the end of the weekend. This journey I am on now on is incredible.  Something I never would have thought about doing, but here I am.  It's way past time for me to give back to God and praise and honor Him for all His done for me and my family.  My story will be on video sometime soon too.

Yesterday in Chapel at my Seminary school, I gave a snippet message about PVL.  1 Peter 2:25.  About why I am doing this and why it's so important this is done. I have a full sermon that I will be giving someday, somewhere.  When that gets recorded I will figure out how to post it here on the website.  The time is drawing near for all of us to make that final decision.  Where will you spend eternity?  Do not spend it separated from God.  Please allow the Lord to to move within your heart.  Please allow us to help you.  We can't make the decision for you.  We can't save you.  We can only tell the truth about God's Word and let Him work and let you decide. 

So it has been quite awhile since I have posted anything.  I haven't given up.  PVL is still my mission field.  Had a few setbacks. Life happened.  Ready to focus and do what God has called me to do.  Time to tune out the distractions and focus on Him and Him alone. We are called to spread the spread the Gospel.  Matthew 28:19-20  Go, therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them them in the name of the Father and the of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you, and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age. Amen.  The time is now for those of us that believe to spread the good news of Jesus Christ.  Please pray for myself and others that are bold enough to go forth and reach out to a dying world, before it's too late.
