Problems and the Promise land are like 2 sides of a coin, they go hand in hand. I have spent the past month ministering on the great things that God is about to do and the cost of receiving those dreams and visions. Here’s a list of my most recent sermons:
·    How Excuses are keeping you from obtaining big things
·    Obstacles to receiving blessings
·    Praying For God’s perfect will
·    Stop worrying and Seek God First
·    Anything that is worth having is worth fighting for

Have you ever wondered how and where your mission’s dollars are being spent? Here’s some of the ways we’re using funds in the ministry:

• Leadership Training- Monthly meetings training Mexican and Indian Pastors and leaders. We spend our own money on food and lodging

• Weekly Speaking engagements- Every week I minister at least once and usually more. We travel long distances to arrive at some remote places. This past week I traveled 2 hours and 45 minutes one way to minister. See my recent messages

• Special activities such as church building projects, and ministry to the poor. This past week I traveled 5 days, spent the night in one bedbug infested hotel and spent $268 on gas. The price of gasoline here is the same price as you are paying-with one exception. It’s been over 3 dollars a gallon for more than 3 years now

• Personal expenses and the cost of living are the same as the USA. Imported items from the USA cost us 35% more.
