Revival Yearnings*

Last year I preached the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ to 18,591 eternal souls. What a privilege! I don’t mean this to sound like ‘me’. It’s all Him! It’s all for His glory. And it sure is a joy to be part of it. I preached all the way from Africa to Mexico to Utah...

The Philippines, Again

Dear Prayer Partners When he left Bataan, General Douglas MacArthur made his famous declaration, "I shall return."  Well, I’m no hero, of any kind.  When we had to leave the Philippines in September because the typhoons basically put us out...
