I think it was John Maxwell that I first heard say, “your attitude determines your altitude”, and I believe it.
That’s one of the reasons why our latest disappointment at CLC didn’t last long.  As you probably know, we’ve been planning to launch a new campus in the western suburbs since last year, with an original [...]

A dear friend & missions leader, P.G. Vargis, just sent this report to me today from a friend of his – to encourage all of us who have prayed for the nation of Haiti since the devastating earthquake there over a month ago..  Here’s the report:
Today was the one month anniversary of the great Haitian [...]

In the spirit of Proverbs 25:25, I thought I’d pass along some good news.  As a pastor, probably nothing is more encouraging to me than to know that “it’s working”; i.e., that people are receiving from God.  And this week I received some great reports from our recent trip to the Philippines:

Today was the ONLY day on this trip that we didn’t have any ministry events scheduled.  Instead, we spent about 5 or 6 hours with our Philippine Campus pastors, Herley & Nelly Montes: coaching, planning, strategizing, eating, fellowshipping and even sightseeing at the Philippine Eagle Center.  We knew nothing about these majestic but endangered birds until [...]

Today was a WONDERFUL day for me & Chris here in Davao City, Philippines with our only ‘international campus’, the Household of Faith-Christian Life Center, where Herley & Nelly Montes are the pastors.  Here’s a quick recap:

Chris ministered for our friends, Pastors Tito & Nelrose Sasam at the Releaser of Life Family Church, and after [...]

Chris & I did something today we’ve never done before (at least that I recall).  We were the speakers for a Marriage Conference hosted at Releaser of Life Family Church in Davao City, and organized by our friends, Pastors Tito & Nelrose Sasam & our CLC Philippine Campus Pastors Herley & Nelly Montes.
For about six [...]

Last night was the third time I’ve been able to participate in one of the “Harvest” events sponsored by ReGen, the youth ministry at Household of Faith-CLC in Davao, led by Joel Montes, the oldest son of Pastors Herley & Nelly Montes.  Each time I’ve come away saying “I’ve never seen anything like it”, and [...]

Sorry I wasn’t able to give you updates from the Global Advance FrontLine Shepherd’s Conf. since we arrived – between the full schedule each day and some intermittent internet access, it just wasn’t possible.  But I’ve got a little time now before the big Youth Harvest event for Pastor Herley Montes and his ReGen ministry [...]

In this third and final week of the fast, I want to encourage you about your prayers. In my personal experience, sometimes on an extended fast itseems that my prayers aren’t really ‘connecting’.  In fact, I’ve sometimes been discouraged while fasting over the thought that I really wasn’t getting anywhere in prayer at all. But Jentezen Franklin [...]

I know many of you have been moved by compassion for those suffering in Haiti after the earthquake.  I just wanted to let you know that CLC has two partner ministries already in action, and we are sending financial aid to assist their efforts.
If you wish to make a donation, we’re including this aid in [...]
