  • Hungry for Revival

    I spend a lot of time speaking about the hunger for God that I continually find in the churches I visit in Africa. I suppose it is not true for every church over there. I probably miss the ones that are not hungry for revival because I refuse to give thousands of dollars so I can come preach at your church. I have two reasons for that. One is tha...

    [Enter Post Title Here] Praise the Lord everybody. I haven't written much on this trip, I guess because all the exotic stuff about being in Africa is becoming routine. Even the excitement that we have in services here is ... I don't want to say routine, but I've had a thousand or more services like this and how many times can you tell the same ...

    The Birthplace of 1970 Revival in Africa “And Elijah said unto Ahab, Get thee up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain.” 1Kings 18:41 On our way to our last series of services in Rwanda, we drove past the place where the 1970 revival first broke out in a little round building just off the highway.  It was small and ...

  • Fat and Lazy

    "... I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing ..." (Rev 3:17) I was at a High School baseball game last night, and as I was looking around at the crowd, I noticed how many people were fat. Not just "beefy" or "heavy", but plain ol' fat! This is not an isolated scene, but is endemic across America. How'd we get so fat? I don...

    Okay, I'm telling you ahead of time, that's it's going to be hard to believe all this stuff – I hardly believe it myself and I was the guy that was there. I have been in northern Uganda for the past two weeks. A week in Tororo, and a week in the bush 50 km outside of Sororti. Last week was good, but not supernatural. If all I am coming here to...

    Lately, I’ve been putting together some video clips from my last trip to Uganda to post on my website. Watching them reminded me how great it felt to be in those services.  That, and what a contrast they were to the services here back in the USA  last Sunday.  What a difference! When I share these videos of wildly exuberant praise...

    "Look down from heaven, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory: Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy mercies toward me? Are they restrained? ... O LORD, why hast thou made us to err from thy ways, and hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine in...

    We’re heading home tonight. I’m sitting here at my hotel in Nairobi, looking out the window and wondering if I will ever be back again. I go through this almost every time. It’s a bittersweet feeling leaving this place. I am worn out and spent after dozens of services in a score of little churches throughout Kenya, but exhilar...
