Today, I spoke with Pastor Cornel Boingeanu of Romania regarding the prayer revival we will be a part of next week. It is a tremendous blessing to serve the nation of Romania in uniting the pastors and people in worshipping God through prayer. The student choir from Prestonwood Church will help lead in worship along [...]

Faith of a Mustard Seed

Yesterday while talking with my brother, Mel, who leads BridgeBuilders in San Antonio he mentioned his great joy of having “church under the tree.” I’ve seen this church in the urban center of San Antonio. There are 5 or 6 men who gather daily, under a tree setting on crates and talking and letting the [...]

This past Saturday I was humbled as over 500 volunteers gathered together to serve the community of Bonton and H.S. Thompson Elementary School. This is a great work that allows many of our corporate partners like the Beck Group, Manhattan Construction, Puritan Financial and Guaranty Bank to collaborate with key church partners in Prestonwood and [...]

During these difficult economic times with such high unemployment, the body of Christ has a tremendous opportunity to use our positions in the market place to help train those in need with employable skills and actually hire them in our companies. The story of Boaz and Ruth is a great example of God’s plan for [...]

This past weekend I had the opportunity to travel with my three sons and attend the Global Day of Prayer in San Antonio. The BridgeBuilder’s San Antonio branch served by helping bring together over 20 churches in corporate prayer this past Pentecost Sunday. It was an amazing blessing to see the body of Christ from all different [...]

I am very excited about the launch of my new blog today, Restoring Hope for a Better Tomorrow. In America, and around the globe, hope needs to be restored. There are plenty of people that believe education, capitalism, or welfare is the pathway to restoring hope. While these ideas can bring knowledge, wealth, or food to our lives they cannot restore [...]
