Dear Teammates, Are you winning? To answer that question, one needs more information and perhaps even a matrix. I first met Dave Rousseau in Zimbabwe in 1996 and he has become my best friend. Dave and his wife Sue have served with TEAM for 30 years in Zimbabwe and Africa. Over the years Dave regularly…

This morning on the news I read the story of Hassan, the 11-year-old Ukrainian boy who traveled ALONE for 600 miles over 4 days with just a bag, a passport, and a phone number written on his hand. He is one of an estimated 3 million Ukrainians who are fleeing the Russian invasion that is…
Hi everyone! Back in 2001, I was volunteering with a Stanford campus ministry while serving at a local church. My colleague loved the worship music of David Crowder and soon I did too. Here’s a picture of David Crowder that I found online: Somehow our church arranged (along with some campus ministries) to have David…
Dear Soldiers, I just read this headline a half hour ago, “Ukrainians from all walks of life answer the call, take up arms against Russia.” No Ukrainian male between 16-60 is allowed to leave their country! To say that Ukrainians are in a life and death battle is an understatement. Men, women, and children are…
Like many of you, I’ve watched the news of the Russian invasion of Ukraine with a heavy heart. I’ve received requests for prayer from friends and ministry partners for Ukraine from all over the world. The pictures of explosions and destroyed buildings in Kiev and Kryvyi Rih bring back memories for Valorie and me of…
As I have met people on my travels to various places around the world, they eventually find out where I’m from. While it doesn’t happen as much as it used to, many people would say, “Oh haha, then, ‘Do you know the way to San Jose?’”, like I’d never heard that before! The 1968 song…
A guy named John is asked “Who are you?” and is given a whole bunch of options to choose from. Each choice would reveal something about him, but none of them would reveal the MOST important element of who he really is. This Sunday we’ll cover chapter 23 in The Story and see the very…
Dear Warriors, We do not live in a friendly world. Every day we battle behind enemy lines with the world, the flesh, and the devil. We all need to remember that the weapons of our warfare are not physical, but they are mighty before God for the overthrow and destruction of strongholds. This Sunday we…
Dear Sojourners, What kind of people does God use? We have been racing through the Old Testament the last 21 weeks. We have examined many OT Biblical characters who God chose to use to fulfill His eternal kingdom story. Jesus chose 12 outsiders nobody would have chosen and changed the world! Our Lord uses “people…
Dear Church Family, I hope your soul is strong and vibrant. I talked to Anna Aseltine on the phone last Tuesday as I was driving around. Let me just say, I she think she charged up my iPhone with her electricity and zeal for the Lord. And she charged me up too. I felt a fresh…
