I hope you’re getting as excited as I am about the upcoming 20th anniversary celebration with Dr. Jack Hayford on March 7!  He’ll not only minister at all 3 morning services at our Tinley Park campus that day, but we’ve scheduled a very special 5pm service to enable each of our campuses to join in [...]

By the time this posts on Monday morning, Chris and I will be somewhere over the Pacific, enroute to General Santos City, Philippines where we’ll lead a Global Advance conference for an expected group of 1,000 pastors & leaders starting Monday about 7pm (Chicago time).  We’ve never been there before, so I’m excited about a [...]
