Back Home

We are now back home, after a long journey from England via Chicago. It was good to sleep in our own bed again. No matter how much you enjoy a trip, it's true that "there's no place like home."

Words can't express the value Melanie and I both place on this past month. In South Africa, Swaziland, Norway and England, we were amazed and thrilled to see the things the Lord did. You will be hearing much more from me in the days ahead about some things that God has placed firmly in our hearts. I believe that the ministry of Grace Walk is going to expand exponentially as a result of this trip.

There are two things that I am particularly excited about and will be giving you more information within the next week.

1. The potential for a radio broadcast with Trans World Radio that will cover much of Africa. We are discussing three different radio programs that would be broadcast in both English and French.

2. Paul Anderson-Walsh, Director of The Grace Project in London, and I have agreed to join together in a ministry partnership we are calling "Grace Loves." The focus will be on expressing the loving grace of God to people in other countries in practical ways that meet physical needs. Melanie and I were deeply touched by what we saw in Swaziland and Paul's heart has been stirred by all he has seen in his ministry visits to Brazil. As we talked and discovered that the Lord has been doing the same thing in each of our lives, we agreed that through a partnership of our two ministries, we can see the impact of grace multiply exponentially more than we can do individually.

I'll give you more details about both of these issues within the next week. Right now, it's the weekend and I want to rest!

Thanks again for your prayers and gifts. I can tell you without hesitation that your involvement with Grace Walk Ministries is making a difference around the world and I pledge to you that it is only going to multiply in the coming days as a result of what God is doing right now.

More to come . . .
