Milestones
I am hoping that this Saturday night is a milestone in my ministry career, and that of the members of my team. God has led me to spearhead a service on Saturday evenings to reach the lost in my city and radically advance His Kingdom.

The Church is one of the most dangerous sleeping dragons on earth today; just waiting to be roused in order to seek out and destroy evil and injustice and set captives free.

I am the Pastor at Fellowship Church in Salem, Oregon and these are my thoughts on life.
