It is still difficult to even mention in conversation the situation surrounding the recent flooding in Central Texas. The subject is painful enough that individuals who had no direct involvement, either react with visible emotion or confess that the subject was too disturbing for them to follow. This measure of sensitivity only reinforces the need to approach trauma and hurt …
The horrors associated with the flooding in the Texas Hill Country are still being documented at the time of this writing.

The God of The Bible is holy. This fundamental trait permeates everything associated with our Lord and it characterizes all of His actions. Revelation 4:8 NASB95 tells us, And the four living creatures, each one of them having six wings, are full of eyes around and within; and day and night they do not cease to say, “Holy, HOLY, HOLY …
Do you ever find yourself asking the question of whether or not a seemingly objective statement is true? Trina and I are into our sixth month living in England and traveling to Western Europe.

Remember that the Northeast is very different culturally from The Bible Belt and Chrstianity is more tolerated, usually, than accepted and smiled upon. Christian leaders in this area are routinely ridiculed for their faith and position …
Trina and I travelled to Plymouth, Massachusetts in early October and returned with a specific spiritual impression about New England. Our trip was in response to an invitation from Greg & Suzanne Winslow of Hidden Manna Ministries to participate in a multifaceted prayer/ministry event that drew visitors from across the United States.

Our calling through IRC (International Restoration Commission) Ministries contains two sides. On the one hand we have always had a corporate vision which inspires us to minister, to the best of our ability, what we believe is presently relevant to the wider Body of Christ.
