Recently I heard the story of my granddaughter, who is studying to become a Physician’s Assistant (PA). She has completed the academic portion of her studies and is now in the practical part of her training (the white coat training). One of the “exercises” she had to complete involved holding a beating human heart in her hands. The “patient” had been pronounced brain dead, but the body kept functioning with the aid of machines. I don’t know how to describe how I felt when I heard that story, but I am glad she will have the experience to qualify her as a Physician’s Assistant.

How can we pray effectively for our co-laborers in the Kingdom of God? Your Elders need to be supported with effective prayer so they can lead your church and give proper oversight according to the Scriptures.

My story in brief…

Christ first came into my life at the age of 5 during a series of evangelistic meetings in our tiny country Quaker church house in Gate, Oklahoma. Since then it has been a process of “Stumbling forward by grace, through faith in Christ.” I experienced a significant personal revival at the age of 19 and have been much in love with the Lord ever since…five decades-plus.

My passion is to enjoy the Lord by encouraging others to make progress in their lives…living life successfully. I do that primarily through my disciple-making efforts and through my writing.

I spent about 20 years in public ministry and at the age of 40 decided that I had allowed my passion for ministry to impede my prior duty to my family, so I stepped aside. I found a new career as a financial advisor and now make my living serving my financial planning clients.

I now consider myself to be a bi-vocational minister of the gospel.
