Sent: Video Intro

Last Sunday we began a brand new series at LifePointe called SENT. We’re exploring the “sentness” of God’s people. We put together a video for the series intro and I thought I would share it with you. You can get a little better glimpse of our community. Take a look.

Doing What It Takes

When I was a pastor down in south Mississippi, I met an area pastor, Eddie Painter, down there that became a good friend of mine.

The Pocket Testament League

The Pocket Testament League is one of those great Christian organizations that most have never heard of. I hooked up with them a couple of years ago and it’s a good resource for church planters, pastors, or any Christian wanting to spread the Word of Jesus Christ.

Some Mission Trip Photos

Since this jet lag has me getting up at 4 or 5 in the morning, I worked on getting some of my mission trip photos online this morning. I’m putting them up in chronological order. Our first stop was Jinja, Uganda, where we stayed while working in Wairesa. Wairesa is a small village northeast of More >

Out of Africa

We made it back home last night. We’ll see how the jet lag goes. Needless to say, I’ll have a lot more to blog about in the coming days and weeks about our trip. For now, it was a completely awesome, Spirit-filled experience. Thanks for your prayers. God heard them.
Here’s a video from our first More >
