  • Capital District Church Planting Seminar: August 2008, Day 4

    Friday, August 22nd, 2008

    After the grueling day yesterday, I awoke feeling semi-comatose (not a usual feeling for me in the early morning) and barely managed to drag myself downstairs for breakfast by 8:00. In all fairness to myself, I am still a bit on Hawaii time and 8:00am back East is 2:00am in Maui. Since I’m still trying [...]

  • Field Ministry Academy (FMA): April 2009

    Friday, May 1st, 2009

    Pastoring is complicated, difficult work, and the lessons-to-be-learned seem to multiply faster than personal experience / study alone can teach us. Feeling a bit daunted and uncertain about where and how we’re supposed to lead our flock isn’t a statement of inadequacy, as much as it is a reminder of our dependence on God. Duh.  [...]

  • Field Ministry Academy: September 2008, Day 6

    Tuesday, September 9th, 2008

    I was fairly pumped all day because we were to start the Field Ministry Academy (FMA) in the afternoon, and all the guys would be arriving sometime after noon. It’s difficult to describe the anticipation I have about being together with 11 young ministers who are, for the most part, at the front end of [...]

  • Field Ministry Academy: September 2008, Day 7

    Wednesday, September 10th, 2008

    We had a fabulously full day talking together. One of my goals for our time is to help these guys function a bit more comfortably in prophetic activity—prayer, words, discernment, etc. By their own admission, they have had almost no mentoring in spirituals, and few, if any, have seen such ministry modeled for the local [...]

    Day 8
    I suppose I should have been expecting that at some point we would encounter (spiritual) opposition. It wasn’t an “attack” as some would call it, but throughout the day I grew increasingly aware of some subtle distractions that were tearing away at what we all wanted to have happen in our days together. In [...]

  • Switzerland: March 2009, Day 7

    Wednesday, March 25th, 2009

    Of all things I might have forgotten to bring, soap probably wasn’t the best choice! Most of the time, I bring along a small tube of soap/shampoo. I get plenty of those in all the hotels where I stay, and I have a small stash of them in my drawer at home. Lately, I’ve grown [...]

    FIELD MINISTRY ACADEMY
    By lunch-time, when I was eating and laughing with some new German friends (each of whom acts as a supervisor over several Foursquare churches), I knew my dreams had come true for FMA. The buzz in the room, the body language, etc. all told me these men had begun bonding. In both the [...]

  • Switzerland: March 2009, Day 9

    Friday, March 27th, 2009

    Helmuth, Tom, Jan, Gaby, Pierre-yves, Eddy…just a few of the new friends I made these days. Niki, Angel, Mitko, Martijn, Matthias, Volker… other friends I’ve grown to love and trust more—all of these guys serving the purposes of God by serving the people of God in so many unique local situations. The collective wisdom in [...]
