I am excited to announce that I will be teaching a 5-session equipping class on healing starting Monday, September 30th. The class is being offered through Kingdom Ministry School, a branch of HarvestNET International. It is called “Restoring the Ministry of Healing” and is happening in Lancaster, PA. There is a clear gap between the healing ministry of Jesus and what we are currently experiencing in the church. Why does this...

As I take new steps into ministry, I am very aware of the need for prayer covering. About twice a month I send out a prayer update to those who have committed to pray for me, my family, and ministry. Throughout his letters, the Apostle Paul would often request prayer. He knew that prayer is a powerful weapon against the enemy, and he coveted the prayers of other believers. Consider the following few examples: “Now I beg you, brethren,...

Last month I wrote an article with an update on a new season of ministry that I am entering into. When the Lord led my family and me to Lancaster, PA at the end of last year, we did not know what lay ahead. We stepped out and made the move, and it has been awesome to see God working to put the pieces together. This new season of ministry has two primary facets: 1. Church Staff Position I recently joined the pastoral team of Threshold Church...

This week I will be giving updates on what is happening with me and the new season of ministry that has begun. As my family and I moved to Lancaster, PA we have seen God do amazing things in opening doors, and we believe that it is time to launch out more fully into the ministry He has called us to. With that in mind, I want to share a little bit about the vision of Mantle of Restoration Ministries. This vision has been stirring in me for...

In my last post I wrote about how the Lord led my family and me to Lancaster, PA. When we moved to Lancaster, we did not know what was in store for us. I had a sense of a call to this new region and felt as though I was moving from a season of preparation to a season of fulfillment. But the specifics of what this would look like were unclear. A Prophetic Puzzle As we have been getting settled in Lancaster, it is as if the Lord has been...

Several months ago I announced on this blog that my family and I were making a transition from Austin, TX to Lancaster, PA. As we have been in Lancaster, we can see the hand of God at work and continue to have confirmations that we are in the right place at the right time. Many have asked what caused us to make this move and so I wanted to tell more of the story behind how God led us to this new region. 2012: a Year of Transition 2012 was a...

As we enter the New Year, I want to let you know what to expect from my blog in 2013. I have come to see that this website is a ministry in itself; not just a means to get my information out or secure other ministry opportunities. With that said, here is how I plan to use this website to teach and minister this coming year: Articles I have been posting articles more frequently this past month, and will continue this in the New Year. I plan...

I am excited to formally announce that my family and I are moving to Lancaster, Pennsylvania. My wife Anna and I have been married for over seven years, all of which have been far away from our families. Throughout this year we have been feeling the tug to move close to family and at first we disregarded this desire. But after prayer, reflection, counsel, and discussion, we believe that this is God’s best for us in the long-run and where...

A day before the US presidential election I posted an article sharing my thoughts on the role Christians should play in politics. At a minimum, I believe that Christians have a responsibility to pray for our government leaders (see 1 Timothy 2:1-4) and vote according to biblical values. I personally am not usually one to delve into political issues, nor do I follow politics very closely. However, I would be lying if I said I was not...

With the US presidential election right around the corner, there has been a lot of political talk these days. I have never involved myself too heavily in politics, but I do believe Christians have a responsibility to involve themselves in at least two ways: 1.) Praying for those in authority 2.) Voting according to biblical values   Praying for those in authority Therefore I exhort first of all that supplications, prayers,...
