A total of 855 buckets from KNCSB churches were shipped. At last count, Southern Baptists sent over 140,000 buckets to ports in Louisiana and Florida for onward shipment to Haiti and distribution by Haitian Southern Baptist Churches to people in need. HOKSBA is on record as having prepared 201 buckets. This was the most of [...]
On April 6th we celebrated our 2nd birthday with cake and ice cream. We had a great crowd and a great spirit of celebration. Celebrate Recovery is a place where we celebrate victories, not defeats. We talk about our defeats because there is healing in sharing. Karol Truman said, “feelings buried alive never die.” We [...]

The Evangelism training is going great. Just before Easter I finished a class in one of our churches. This 4-6 week session is a combination between “Share Jesus Without Fear” and the “Evangecube”. I would love to come to your church to help train your people on evangelism and would be happy to schedule time [...]
It is not too early to start praying about going on an evangelistic mission trip next year. Each year we take a group to an evangelistic event the day before the Rose Bowl parade. Each year we see numerous lives changed and many people touched by the Gospel. Also in mid-February we take a group [...]
Our Good Neighbor Centers are still touching lives in our community through benevolent ministries. We have seen many of the people coming to our centers give their lives to Christ. Our GNC’s are in need of funds and food to meet the many needs. The needs in Wichita are continually growing and all of our [...]
Recently a study was released by NAMB called “21st Century Hispanic Realities”. This study was coordinated by Dr. Daniel Sanchez and Rev. Bobby Sena. These are three of the studies most key findings. The First Generation (the immigrants) has become the largest segment of the Hispanic population in America today. In mid 20th century, the [...]
God continues to bless us in this ministry. We see many lives changed at JDF and at the Boy’s ranch. One of our church members is ministering at the Spartan Lake Side academy where he is able to touch lives with the Gospel. The ranch has allowed me for the last year or so to [...]

The ministry of SAMARITAN’S ROAD continually is being blessed in surprising ways. Over and over the Lord has met our needs in the most unexpected ways. When people we are unacquainted with help meet our financial needs out of the blue, it is truly a God thing. I like to call these moments “Who’d a [...]
As I have mentioned before, an intricate part of the Set Free ministry is to have a discipleship “ranch” to take people to after they come in off the street. They would stay there sixty plus days. The property needs to be a good distance from town, but close enough for churches to help with [...]
Over Spring Break, The Mission, our student ministry at Wichita State University, took nine students to Buena Vista, Colorado for a retreat at YoungLife’s Frontier Ranch retreat center. The students that went were from four different countries: Kenya, Kuwait, India and Malaysia.
And Jesus came and spoke to them, saying, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore and make disciples of all the 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 [...]
What does learning look like? When you walk past a Bible study classroom on Sunday morning can you tell by the activity of the students that learning is taking place? If you have a well-versed teacher and the classroom appears to be calm – is this an indication that knowledge is being shared and lives [...]
