Our ministerial team just returned from a two day prayer meeting!  We were praying over and discussing our departmental one-year and five-year God-given goals.   One evening we decided to walk and pray.  All of us had gathered around a little space to sit in a public area.  As we were praying, a teenage young lady walked quietly by our team.  She clearly saw us praying and circled back round to talk with us.  She came over to us and sweetly told us that she had noticed we were praying and wondered what church we were from.  She then shared her heart. ...

Anne and I have been married for over 30 wonderful years!  However, what you may not know is that we knew each other when she was 8 and I was 14.  She was a nice little Christian girl and I was anything but a nice Christian teenager.  I did not know Jesus and was quickly spiraling downward towards total immersion in the culture.   I got born again at 20 and eight years later my mother called me and suggested I give “Anne Holderness” (that was her maiden name) a call.  She was now 23 years old.  This was way back in...
