My great thanks to the incredible brothers and sisters of @gbcob for weeks and weeks of prayers for this mission trip to South Africa and Ethiopia. The Lord has done great things which I am eager to share! Home in a few days!.

The precious saints of Grace Fellowship Pretoria, host church of the Shepherds’ Conference Pretoria. I had the privilege of preaching to them today. So similar in many ways to ⁦⁦@gbcob⁩! Tomorrow we head to Ethiopia for a week of two conferences and Sunday preaching.

Day 2 of Shepherds’ Conference Cape Town. Four sessions today. Lovely, hungry believers in Christ. Great Q/A times during breakout sessions as well. Many pastors ministering in difficult situations, many of them bi-vocational and sacrificing much for the sake of the gospel!

Here we go! Day one of Shepherds’ Conference Cape Town, South Africa! Pray for the men in attendance!

Flights to DC then Capetown today (and tomorrow!). Then Shepherds’ Conference Capetown, South Africa, commences. I have the privilege of preaching some general sessions and doing four elective sessions. Precious people in the churches in CT hosting and spiritually feeding pastors.

I am headed to South Africa and Ethiopia in a few days for 25 days of preaching and teaching and fellowship with many likeminded churches and believers. I am hopeful to post some updates here and there but my social media skills are sketchy on a good day…

Many of my posts are often on serious topics, such as the recent release of my book *Abuse, Abandonment, and Divorce.*. So, just for fun and a mild call for help: . Why do sometimes text threads on my iphone suddenly scroll back 250,000 texts to the first text between me and.
