HEAL OUR LAND
Our nation – and the world – is experiencing one of the most momentous times in history. While the Covid-19 shutdowns have magnified poverty in developing nations, the racial unrest in the US has spilled over to other nations. Meanwhile in India, a nation into which I have invested 20+ years of my life, radical […]
Rough Little Hands of Hope
This Friday at 7pm Mountain time, I will host a Facebook Live interview with some of our dynamic field leaders in India (TUNE IN @WeIgniteNations). The topic will be social justice and anti-trafficking. So I thought for my blog post this week, to provide a brief excerpt from the first chapter of my book, Treasures in Dark […]
Worship Riots
A week or so ago about fifteen ministry leaders representing several states gathered in the middle of a hay field… or, to be precise, inside a nice house located in the boonies and surrounded by farmland. Nobody even thought of wearing a mask, and everyone hugged just like the good ol’ days. Then we exuberantly […]
Thoughts on Kingdom vs. Democracy
Some suggest that it’s hard to conceive of “God’s Kingdom” because the concept of a sovereign “king” and a “kingdom” is so foreign to us in our democratic nations. Most of the world has learned to avoid entrusting any ruler with absolute power. But when a king is good and not evil, the nation prospers. […]
Resurrection Encouragement
With all this death and talk of death, the world is in need of some LIFE! Easter is when we celebrate life out of death. Every year, during winter, things look very dead. But the season comes when, so long as the branches are connected to the roots, new life springs forth from what looked […]

Faith over Fear, Cure over Covid-19
A teenage girl strolled along a path in the Minnesota woods enjoying the sweet forest aromas of spring; tender new grasses and ferns bent with droplets kissed her jeans and arms with the remnants of the night’s rain. As the moist earth cushioned and muffled each step of her sneakers, the tranquility, the budding life, […]
The Crown that Rules Corona
I pray and declare God’s peace and provision over you and your families during this outbreak of global concern. When we look back across history, every time an epidemic broke out, eventually the Lord enabled humans todiscover vaccines and antibiotics to defeat them. Times of trial provide an opportunity for believers to demonstrate Christ’s love, peace […]
Mobilizing lovers of God and lovers of nations
A long overdue post… Upon arrival in Cali, Colombia I was scheduled to be the evening speaker for the first session of a three-day conference. My homestay host was none other than Marcella MacMillan, who along with late husband Randy led the amazing prayer movement and repulsion of the drug lords back in the 80’s […]
Part 1 – Rescue Mission
Heading for South America tomorrow This summer I’ve been compelled in my spirit to complete a book I started three years ago, but shelved due to… well, someday I’ll publish it, and you’ll read it, and then you’ll know! Anyway, it dawned on me to do some vlog posts around one aspect of this fascinating […]
