From tacks to nails to staples to tape, it’s pretty obvious that this sign near Hagerstown, MD has been host to much more than just the lonely stop sign on top. Though the pastor’s job is to protect his flock by warning them of danger ahead, this signpost reminded me of those who hang on [...]
My buddy Kyle, a camper at Camp North West, gave his testimony at the final campfire service then told me personally, “I believe God wants me to be a pastor in the middle of New York City!” Several campers offered their lives for Christian service in various parts of the world. Who knows what God [...]
We had a great week at Camp Northwest in Mossyrock, Washington. Moriah and I flew out from WV, ministered to the fine flock at Westside Baptist in Eugene, OR and then drove to WA for the week of camp under the direction of Greg Kaminski. The Kaminskis have directed the camp for 31 years. Thousands [...]
For 34 years the Rotz family has run an amazing camp for kids near Hagerstown, MD. Today, at their request, we had the privilege of ministering to well over 300 campers, counselors and parents. This was a great opportunity to share the gospel through preaching, playing our instruments, skits, juggling, volunteer involvement and more. Only [...]
While ministering in Pond Bank, PA, some men from the church gave us scenic tours of the area, including the unique multicolored sand pits, Promise Lake (a draining abandoned mine pit 70+ feet deep), Falling Springs (where a river flows out of a rock and U.S. presidents have fished) the historical Iron Furnace at Penn [...]
I’ve been reminded once again about how much work is involved in getting a touring VBS program ready for the road. With just 4 days before the opening night, we’re going to have to keep working hard to get everything set in time. We’ve currently reached the tiresome process of checking all parts of the [...]
“Where there’s a will there’s a way,” or something like that…. It’s always exciting to see everything get packed away into the trailer. Every week people ask the notorious question, “how in the world do you carry all of that stuff?” The ignorant “I really don’t really know either” response is actually quite brutally honest. [...]

Miranda got an amazing report Monday from the Dr. concerning her wrist rotation and movement. She has worked hard at the prescribed therapy and has made tremendous progress – even able to play the piano somewhat. Thanks for your prayers as she continues to push the limits of her flexion, rotation and extension. Her therapist [...]
God opened the door to minister at Faith Baptist in Deltona Sunday. We learned how God miraculously protected these dear people through 2 fires and provided a beautiful sanctuary. Pastor Herchenroder and his family have a tremendous ministry to young and old alike. These folks are definitely dedicated to keeping Christ foremost. It was thrilling [...]
Dr. Ron Merrill says, “My health has improved since the 2 strokes in December. Everyday I’m learning His grace is sufficient because when I am weak, then I am strong! We’re looking forward to heading home…to Greenville, SC and eventually our eternal home” but we still have at least 9 services in the deep south [...]
At Victory Baptist in Eustis, FL, Dr. Ashley approaches the milestone of 40 years in the ministry. Faithfully he has served this congregation for 1/2 of those years. An English-speaking Jamaican man professed Christ Sunday, then God moved in powerfully Tuesday night as many hearts sought guidance from the Lord and forgiveness for sins. These [...]
