An easier than expected weekend

Sunday, March 29th, 2009

This weekend seemed like it would knock me out again, but it turned out to be a bit easier than expected.
Firstly on Saturday there was the day of prayer and fasting for the projects of the church. With the family and its needs to look after (like the shopping in the morning), we had decided [...]

LaParola at the Vatican

Monday, March 23rd, 2009

I often say that my Bible study computer program gets distributed and used a lot more than the simple accesses and downloads from my site would indicate.

Relatively speaking

Whilst my computer ministry is important, especially the distribution of the Bible and Bible study tools at LaParola.net, it is hard to connect it with a church planting ministry, which is the main direction of my ministry. Internet has the advantage of reaching everyone, but it is also a disadvantage because it is hard to [...]

Spring has arrived

Sunday, March 1st, 2009

I got through my “everything” week, when all my possible meetings and studies to prepare came up. I even got a newsletter out as well, and managed to do half a reorganisation of the church web site. It meant working less on less urgent matters than I would have liked (such as the studies for [...]
