Thank you so much for your friendship and prayer support as we proclaim the Gospel to the nations.  God did great things this past year, and we are believing Him for great things in 2017!  Y ou are a vital part of this ministry; thank you so much for standing with us as we minister in Jesus' Name. 

We are gearing up for the upcoming Empower Evangelism Conference in Irving, Texas, February 26-March 1, where we will meet with our Texas Baptist Evangelists and help host our "Afterglow" fellowship for pastors and friends on Monday evening, February 27.  I am looking forward to meeting with several of our Southern Baptist leaders during that time as we work on ways to promote the work and office of the evangelist, and preparations for the Southern Baptist Convention in June in Phoenix, and next year in  Dallas.
