We are continuing our study in the book of Philippians. So far, we have made it through the first two verses in four sermons. We will not progress so slowly in the future, but I felt it appropriate to teach on pastors (“bishops”) and deacons the last two Sundays. I am hoping that the Lord may […]
An Invitation to the Our Generation Summit – Missions Retreat
A few days ago, I was reading Ezra chapter two. Toward the end of the chapter, I read these verses: Ezra 2:68–69 And some of the chief of the fathers, when they came to the house of the Lord which is at Jerusalem, offered freely for the house of God to set it up in […]
Ministry Update – 1st Official Anniversary of Downham Baptist Church

Book Review: Grace-Based Parenting by Tim Kimmel
Being a parent is one of the most exciting and terrifying experiences of any person’s life. Walking with our children through the ups and downs of life can produce both exhilarating joy and petrifying fear. This is probably what Solomon meant when he said, “A wise son maketh a glad father; but a foolish son is […]
Ministry Update – Trips, Events, Preaching, World Cup, Stabbings
Trips – It has been a busy few weeks with a trip to Northern Ireland two weeks ago and then a two-day discipleship conference in Coventry last week. It was good on both trips to spend time with fellow laborers and to make some new friends in the ministry. I particularly enjoyed hearing Bill Hull speak […]
