The first day of our Global Advance conference in Ludhiana, india had both ups & downs - the downs being primarily that my wife & Dr. Sally Knox-Witt (the only speakers for the ladies conference) are both fighting off a cold or infection of some sort (please pray), and that the pastors were slow gathering in, with [...]

Chris & I are off to Chandighar, India in about an hour, after spending the last couple of days in New Delhi.  This will be a new adventure, as we’ll take a motorized rickshaw (basically a motorbike with an enclosed seat attached) from our hotel to the train station, where we’ll board a train for [...]

Chris & I will be boarding a plane in a few minutes to travel to India for a pastor’s conference sponsored by Global Advance.  We weren’t originally scheduled to do this one, and I would never have chosen to be away during this special ‘vision-casting’ series at CLC, but after the sudden & untimely death [...]

Part of my short time at home last weekend was spent at a wonderful fundraiser at CLC for the new ministry called “All For Him”.  The whole evening was terrific, with the festivities led by elders and longtime CLCers, Scott & Nannette Pachol, with special music from Ana Chavez and Crystal Petrovic (man, those girls [...]

Thank God for Outlook and my Blackberry.
I had gone to bed early last night and was reading a novel before falling asleep when I heard the buzz from my phone, reminding me of a teleconference appointment with the Board of CAPRO USA.  I was recently appointed to that board and last night was my first [...]

I just received word that a dear friend and missions colleague, Dale Witt of Global Advance, went to be with the Lord this morning after a massive heart attack.
I first met Dale in 1999 when we traveled together to Mozambique to do a FrontLine Shepherd’s Conference for pastors.  Since then, he and I have shared the platform [...]

Remember where you were on 9/11/2001, when you first heard or saw the news of the terrorist attacks?
I do.  In fact, it’s hard to believe it’s been seven years, because the memory of that day’s events are still so fresh.  This much I know: our world was changed forever by that day.
Thank God for the [...]

Tonight’s service with Gen. Sada and Dr. Terry Law was terrific - both of them gave us plenty of chances to laugh and to cheer over what God is doing in Iraq.  But I’m especially happy about the most important thing that happened.
See, I was feeling a little nervous this week over the decision I’d [...]

Oops - a new first this week: not a single question for me to answer in this forum.  Maybe next week.
Meanwhile, this IS the deadline for any question that you’d like to submit to General Georges Sada who will be our guest at all 5 services this weekend at all our campuses.  If there’s something you’d [...]

What do these nations have in common? No, it has nothing to do with the Olympic games.
Each one is a nation where CLCers are making a difference now (Honduras - Akilah Bronaugh) or very soon (Uganda - 5 terrific ladies leaving Aug. 31 to minister to children, youth & women at a huge conference hosted [...]
