“,But the LORD directs his steps.”

I would like to praise the LORD for His faithfulness in my recent trip to India. He provided abundantly in so many different areas. I am thankful for the provision of finances to allow me the opportunity to minister to the Indian people. God was also faithful in providing safety while traveling to seven different cities in one month, good health throughout the trip, and the strength to endure a very rigorous schedule. It was a joy to see how God worked even through...

Are You Hungry?

At a recent staff meeting, I was blessed to hear Rich Stepanek’s report on his latest trip to India. As often happens on international trips, Rich found a refreshing hunger to learn about creation and how it relates to the gospel message, and a welcome eagerness to sit and listen for many hours on end. (I think it’s going to be hard for him to come back to the “reality” here in the States – rigid time constraints and the busyness that tugs and pulls on people’s willingness...

Hummingbird Spy Planes

I thoroughly enjoy hummingbirds and dragonflies. They are certainly marvels of creation. However, there may come a time when people will start shooting them. The Associated Press (2/28/2011) just had an article about new research with working models of tiny spy planes that mimic birds and insects. The hummingbird “drone” can fly forward and backwards, up and down, sideways, and rotate. However, unlike the real thing, it is loaded with video and audio equipment to record...

Oh Yes! We Remember THAT Camp!

I was asked if we remembered “that camp” mentioned in my last blog where we spoke 25 years ago? How could we forget? It has been permanently seared into our minds! We conducted a kid’s program from 9 AM to 9 PM for the entire week! It was about 100-104 degrees in Texas with about the same humidity—and it was outdoors! (Perhaps that is why we began doing family camps in the cool Colorado Mountains?) We did arts, crafts, slide programs, and tried not to go crazy with a large...

Pizza With a Passion and Purpose

Posted on Feb 24, 2011 in Johnsons from the Front | 0 comments

Last week we met a married couple in Texas that had moved from Colorado. They had retired to a small ranch near Buena Vista, Colorado, setting the ranch up as a getaway for pastors and spouses to relax, and recuperate from the demands of ministry. This went well; however, the couple felt a burning desire to share their faith beyond the confines of the ranch. Leaving the ranch, they moved to Texas, and took a big step of faith. They opened a pizza restaurant, which they...
