I wrote a very detailed "about me" and then did not save it. That tells you a lot about me. I have the greatest intentions, but don't always get it done.

Anyway, I orginally wrote about the most wonderful friend, Amy, that I married. I am the absolutely most blessed man in the world, I am wealthy beyond your wildest imagination, not in money, but with a wife who loves me and the greatest family on Earth. I am a blessed man indeed.

Amy, is my wife. The mother of eight. We have been called together to raise our kids, my kids, her kids and their kids. We have eight children. One just graduated from college, and the youngest is eleven months old and the state of Illinois may place a new baby with us this summer. Both Amy and I love kids, but she is the most gifted mom I have ever met. I absolutely adore her with all my heart.

My passion is for the Lamb. His Heart is absolutely for the Nations ... all peoples, tribes and nations and I believe He has invited me into His activity in the Earth, and for that I am eternally grateful and have committed all that I am. From Genesis to Revelation King Jesus has desired to be Lord of the whole Earth. I beleive He has called this generation to reach the last 2000-3000 people groups that have never heard His name. What a privelege to participate with Him in igniting this fire in the hearts of young people and committed believers all over the Earth.

Somehow, I believe this is the call of God for my whole family. Several years ago I believe the Lord said to us in a "Ancient Paths" seminar (that changed our lives) that I was to be the "Father of a Multitude". Not only has that been realized in our own family, but in scores of young people the Lord has and will give us to follow the Lamb wherever He leads, for He ALONE is worthy.

The first fruits of our commitment is a daughter that has graduated from BIOLA with a call to the Tibetan peoples in China. Our second daughter,now studying at BIOLA will join Christ in His heart for the forsaken children of our world. Who knows what the future holds for our two teens, our ten year old, six year old, five year old or the babies the Lord is placing in our homes. Who knows where the lamb will lead the young people who hang out at our house.

Remember: "The Lamb is worthy to receive the reward of His suffering." Therefore, any price we are called to pay is not to great to share in His inheritance.

A Ministry we founded 15 years ago may soon merge with the most effective missionary training concept I have ever encountered, called "Heart of God". Amy and I have a dream to duplicate their "Beautiful Feet Boot Camp" ... which has already sent 100 radical young people to some of the most difficult areas of the Earth. They are opening new "boot-camps" in Texas and Mexico and want to launch one here in St. Louis area. We believe this to be God's dream and destiny for our lives. Pray to that end with us! God is able.
