Not everyone who starts something for God completes it. When I first started in ministry I thought about quitting every Monday. All of us have thought about doing something else, even people in the Bible.

Proverbs 29: 18, tells us, “Where there is no vision people perish.” Vision is the key to seeing your plans turn into reality. Not only do people perish without a vision, ministries don’t get off the ground without vision. Read More »
I love tennis! I love to play it, and I love to watch it. I always think I can serve until I watch the pros. It seems like it's not hard to win when they are serving. The same thing is true in our ministries. Read More »
The year was 1973; I was minding my own business selling drugs to my high school when I heard eight little words that rocked my world. "God has a wonderful plan for your life!" Those words rocked my world and led me to a relationship with Jesus and started the journey of a lifetime. Those eight words still rock my world today. Read More »

Infuse is the best thing I ever done to help others grow. Don't get me wrong I'm thankful for the thousands who have learned from my monthly audio resouce I call theClub but it's been amazing to watch the 20 people who are a part of my 1st infuse group grow tons both as individuals and as a group over these 11 months. It's truly been a God idea. It's been amazing!!!! Infuse 2 is off to a great start with one retreat behind them.Now I'm starting a new group. I just notified the first 10 this week. That means there's just 10 spaces for the September 2009 group. The next group after that will start in March 2010. Read More »
