Fulfilling the Great Commission in India
The last thing Jesus did before ascending into heaven was to give the Great Commission to His disciples. It says,
"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. And behold I am with you always, even to the end of the age." Matthew 28:18-20
This was given to those that were closest to Jesus but it applies to all who follow Him. In 2001 I had a sense that God gave me a specific task as a way to fulfill the Great Commission. He gave me a desire to take some material I had been teaching for many years and teach it to as many people as I could. I wasn't sure what that would look like so I began to dream. I came up with the name To Every Nation Ministries and started to develop a plan which has brought me to where I am today, the state of Odisha, India.
I wasn't sure at the beginning what it would look like and I never thought it would bring me to India, but it did. I have simply tried to follow the desire and dream God put in my heart.
Please pray for me as I teach tomorrow and Thursday from 10 am to 6 pm. That's 11:30 pm (the day before) to 8:30 am CST. I am excited to see what God is going to do.

I Voted Today Yes, even though it’s a week and a half before official election day, I voted today. Illinois has early voting. Surely you know our motto in Illinois, “Vote early and vote often!” (That’s a joke for my literal readers.) I consider it a God-given responsibility to vote. There aren’t any verses in the

The Father’s Loving Plan A plan is great but a loving plan is better! God the Father has a loving plan for you. When people talk about making plans the word “loving” usually isn’t attached. Perhaps right now you’re planning a trip. Even if the plans are to be with loved ones we normally just
