The Ministry of Refreshing Others

The last day outpouring will be a one on one ministry of the Holy Spirit. When the enemy comes to attack the body of Christ with weariness and the lie that we have been rejected and have lost effectiveness, The Holy Spirit will stir up those who are able to bring comforting words of encouragement to refresh one another. God doesn’t send an angel; He uses those who have learned to come through tribulations and trials with exceeding joy to encourage and refresh others as they go through their trials.

Do You Really Believe in Miracles?

We have got to believe more than ever that Jesus is at work in our lives doing miracles. If we only see Jesus as a healer or only acknowledge Him for His power and might – we will fear Him but we won't necessarily understand His heart of compassion. We are good at giving people encouraging words, but what happens when it comes to ourselves? Do we have a heart that is hardened with doubt and unbelief?

I Have Labored in Vain

This is a message for the discouraged. The enemy will come with lies to discourage us and that lie is to get us to think that we have labored in vain because of unanswered prayers and shattered expectations. It is very dangerous to allow this lie to fester in our heart. The Holy Spirit will awaken our spirit and mind to the truth that God will not fail us and that the verdict of our life is in His hands.

The Lord Has Promised to Deliver You

The most heart wrenching prayers are silent utterances and a simple help. God hears and responds to the faintest cry of His people. Before you get into your situation, God already has a plan to bring you through. The whole battle is against our faith. The determination to deliver us was displayed on the cross. Jesus Christ is our personal deliverer and in Him we have the victory over our sin and temptations.

Nicaragua - Loving God…Loving People


In August 2005, a team from World Challenge went to Nicaragua as part of a week-long medical outreach in the capital city Managua. The team included a doctor, nurse, and five volunteers. While in Managua the World Challenge team partnered with Clínica Amor en Acción (Love in Action Clinic). Many on the World Challenge team and even some of the clinic staff had no previous medical training. Despite inexperience, God is faithful in equipping those that He calls. All it takes is a willing heart.

Nicaragua - Children of the Garbage Dump


While we live in comparitive comfort and luxury here at home, hundreds of thousands of children throughout the world are starving — they hunger not only for physical sustainance, but for the true Bread of Life and for love. The longing in their hearts goes deeper than we can even imagine…

Every Tuesday and Friday mornings, my healthy teenage sons wake up, get dressed and take the trash cans from our garage and place them on the side of the street. Later that morning, a truck comes by and picks up the garbage and we never see it again.
