August 2026 ministry update

There is a lot
on the workbench.

Some things are finished. Some are nearly finished. A few are still sitting there looking at me.

This page is where I will keep friends, prayer partners, supporting churches, and fellow Bible students up to date on the work God has allowed me to do.

What I am working on now

Still moving

Bible Institute

Building the course library

The Institute is organized by levels rather than semesters. BIB 100–104 makes up Level 1, with more lecture hours than an average semester in a traditional semester system. The program serves local students, correspondence students, and anyone willing to do the work.

Structure established · materials in development

Old Testament Survey

History and prophecy together

The survey is being reorganized so the prophets are heard inside the history where their warnings mattered. Kings, Chronicles, the prophets, exile, and return now move as one story.

Integrated plan established · episodes being rebuilt

Broadcast

Back Home through Colossians

The current teaching follows Colossians as reproof for the end of the Christian Age, with Thessalonians and its doctrine of our blessed hope still ahead.

Colossians underway · Thessalonians ahead

Website

A home for all the threads

This website is becoming the common doorway for personal updates, Institute progress, weekly Bible study, broadcasts, church work, and outreach.

Homepage complete · core pages underway

Thank you

The work is moving because people pray, encourage, and keep showing up.

I am grateful for every church, friend, student, and prayer partner who has a hand in it.
