The Bible Study Conversation I’ll Never Forget
The most amazing thing happened to me today during my daily devotions—God brought three powerful things to my heart and mind. One was a Scripture, one was a story, and the last—was you.
This morning, I woke up feeling off. Restless. Uneasy. Like something was just… not right.
I didn’t even make it to the kitchen. No breakfast. No vitamins. I knew I needed to be in the Word. I needed the Holy Spirit to realign my heart and fill my spirit.
Just then, my phone buzzed with a notification. It was the daily Bible verse I get every morning. I glanced at it, half-scrolling past like I sometimes do—but today was different. I felt nudged to read further. And then, like a gentle whisper from God, this verse jumped off the screen and gripped my heart:
“For this reason I remind you to kindle afresh the gift of God which is in you through the laying on of my hands. For God has not given us a spirit of timidity (fear), but of power and love and discipline.”
2 Timothy 1:6-7
Something in that moment clicked. I knew God was trying to remind me—stir up the gift inside you. Don’t let it lie dormant. Don’t let fear or doubt win. Instead, live from a place of power, love, and discipline.
That verse instantly took me back to a powerful moment years ago.
I was on a mission trip in the Caribbean with about 30 teenagers. One of them was my son, Keith Jr. Days were full of ministry—training, outreach, worship, fellowship. It was a beautiful kind of chaos.
One night, after most of the group had gone off to relax, Keith Jr. walked over and quietly sat beside me. He was usually the center of energy, laughing, joking—but not that night. He had a seriousness in his eyes.
“Dad,” he said. “How do you really hear from God? And how do you study the Bible?”
I was stunned. Not because he asked—but because of the weight of the question. We ended up talking for hours. He asked deep questions, wrestled out loud with faith, and even asked me to write down everything we discussed. We opened our Bibles and studied a chapter together.
It was one of the most meaningful conversations of my life. Not because I had all the answers—but because in that moment, I got to witness a young man, my son, hunger for God.
That’s why I’m writing this. Because maybe you’ve been feeling restless too. A little spiritually off. A little disconnected.
I want to challenge you the same way God challenged me this morning—and the same way I challenged Keith Jr. years ago: kindle afresh the gift of God that’s already in you.
You don’t need to chase it down or earn it. It’s already there. But you’ve got to fan it into flame. And that starts with time in God’s Word.
The power you need, the love you want to give, the discipline to stay the course—it’s all available. But it begins when you slow down, open the Bible, and meet with God.
To help you, I’ve put together a simple guide: The On The Go Way To Study The Bible.
It’s based on the exact notes I shared with Keith Jr. that night.
If you’d like a copy—whether as an ebook, PDF, or hard copy—just let me know. My prayer is that it blesses your walk with the Lord and helps you hear His voice a little more clearly.
Keep us in your prayers, as we keep you in ours.
In Christ,
Keith

Thrive in 2025: Moving Beyond Survival Mode
As we step into this new year, God is calling us beyond survival mode and into a season of thriving. Too many believers today find themselves merely reacting to the chaos around them—frustrated by circumstances, blaming pandemics and politicians, or retreating in fear. But now is the time to trust Him fully and embrace His plan for acceleration in our lives.
A Word for This Season
“But his delight is in the law of the Lord,
And in His law he meditates day and night.
He shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water,
That brings forth its fruit in its season,
Whose leaf also shall not wither;
And whatever he does shall prosper.”
— Psalm 1:2-3
Moving Beyond Survival Mode
Living in survival mode is exhausting. It produces little fruit and often leads to a “wandering-in-the-wilderness” mentality—fearful, overreactive, and hesitant to stand boldly for biblical truth. If we’re not careful, we may retreat from God’s best and miss out on the abundant life He desires for us.
But here’s the truth based on God’s Word:
- Thrive mode is always available to every believer.
- Thriving begins when we delight in the Lord.
- Thriving continues when we remain firmly planted in His sufficiency—not our own.
- When we thrive, we become faithful to Him, useful to Him, and fruitful for Him.
A Call to Thrive
Let this be the year you step into thriving with God!
- Thrive by staying rooted in Him.
- Thrive by trusting His resources instead of your own.
- Thrive by believing that with God, all things are possible.
And today, I believe the Holy Spirit is reminding you: He wants you to thrive—and He promises to guide your steps (and even your stops) along the way.
Closing Encouragement
Joan, our entire team across the USA, and I deeply appreciate and love you. Please keep us in your prayers as we keep you in ours.
Stay planted. Stay faithful. Thrive!
In Him,
Keith

Happy Holidays!
Joan and I hope your Christmas was filled with joy, family, fun, and a meaningful celebration of our Savior’s birth!
As we turn the corner into 2025, it’s amazing to reflect on how far the world has come. If you are like us, you may remember old sci-fi movies predicting wild inventions for the future. Well, here we are – living in the midst of those once unbelievable advancements like AI and beyond! Yet, in the middle of all the changes, one thing remains constant: the timeless and powerful Good News of Jesus Christ.
In 2025, we are excited about some incredible outreach opportunities in Vietnam, Equatorial Guinea, Belize, the USA, and more. These efforts take months of planning and significant resources, but provide open doors to share the Gospel with thousands of people.
To meet the vast needs of next year’s ministry, we are trusting God to help us raise the additional resources by January 1 to completely fund these projects. Your support, whether financial or through prayer, will help bring the hope of Jesus to so many who are seeking Him. Would you prayerfully consider partnering with us, now, to make this possible?
Also – If you, your family, or your church would like to get involved with one of our outreach efforts, we would love to hear from you! Give us a call and we will share more details on how you can participate.
May God richly bless you in 2025 as you continue to shine His light in the world.
With love and gratitude, Keith

It is a wonderful time to be a believer. It also is a wonderful time to be seeking to do the Lord’s will. While those around us are often living in fear and uncertainty we know we have a mighty God working on our behalf. He has not given us “a spirit of fear” – so give the devil back all that fear. We have real power and protection in Jesus name.
We are excited about our upcoming On The Go Festivals in three cities in Nevada; Winnemucca, Battle Mountain, Spring Creek.
We have volunteers coming from Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi, Illinois, Iowa, and Idaho to help us share house-to-house and in the Festival. Our team has been working tirelessly over the past year and we are trusting God to do great and mighty things.
The Nashville Good News Festival we collaborated on last month was a great success. God performed a miracle, holding off the rain just long enough for us to share the Good News in sermon, song, and one on one. Joan was able to lead one young man to faith in Christ who had “NEVER” heard about Jesus. It was so precious! His joy was so real and tender.
Our Festival and School of Evangelism in Burkina Faso was well received. Our partner evangelists from Nigeria were able to get into the country and set up all the equipment and arrangements for us to live stream our training and services. It is amazing how the Holy Spirit is using technology to spread the Gospel.
We also just received final approval for a prison festival at a local Nashville prison on June 25. (in partnership with my home church).
In all we do, in genuine Christian love, we hope and pray that it will provide a proper platform so we can effectively share the Good News in Word and deed. Your prayers and God’s provision is making this happen all over the world.
At this time, you can be a real blessing to us and all of our outreaches by making a donation, as the Lord leads. We want you to be a part of all we do, in prayer, and, if possible – in person!

Wow, God is definitely moving as we take the message outside the walls of the church and into neighborhoods, large and small.
Our mission to Battle Mountain, Nevada was a huge success. There were so many wonderful and life-changing encounters with Jesus. Thank you for your prayers.
Many of the local believers and leaders had no idea that the Gospel could impact their city so substantially in such a short time. People were coming to faith in Christ on street corners, at their door, in the park, at the festival, and in church services.
This morning I am in line to get a COVID test so I can fly Saturday to Nigeria to speak at two massive Evangelism Conferences. My good friend and fellow evangelist, Alan Greene, will be joining me and together we will share with 1000 pastors in Abuja and 1000 evangelists in Ilorin.
Pray for us both, as most of the international speakers were unable to get Visas to travel to Nigeria but, thanks to the Lord, we were able to get our visas. We will be speaking, sharing, training, and meeting with leaders non-stop.
Joan and I will be sharing at Lifest Music City today at 3:00 and again on Friday. It is exciting to see God moving in our home town. We are honored to be speaking to our fellow Tennesseans about the love of Jesus.
It is going to take a massive amount of prayer, resources, and the power of God to make all this happen and we need you to join our team on the front lines of these outreaches. Every prayer you pray, every donation you make, every time you talk with others about what we are going and doing, makes an eternal impact.
Thank you for taking time to pray for us and to join with us in this ministry. You are definitely in our prayers and on our hearts. We appreciate your standing with us.
God bless you, Keith & Joan

Our Zambia mission is right around the corner! With multiple missions, ministries, and partnerships we are planning for a huge one city Gospel saturation blitz.
There are 19 evangelists, musicians, action sports athletes, teachers, and missionaries flying in from all over the World.
This truly is an outreach that has the potential to affect, not only a nation, but an entire continent.
Right now I want to ask you to join our team as a strategic prayer warrior. We have learned down through the years how important prayer is to the success of any mission we are doing.
- Pray that the team arrives at the airport COVID free.
- Pray that all flights are flying and everyone arrives safe and on time.
- Pray for unity and open doors to inspire the church and win the lost.
- Pray for lives to be changed and souls saved as we share the Gospel.
- Pray for the followup of those who come to faith in Christ.
- We still need you to financially help us continue to bring the life saving message of Christ to the world free of charge. The cost is great, but stopping the work of Christ is not an option.
As a young boy I made a commitment to “Go, wherever God could not find anyone else to Go” and I am still trying to be faithful to that commitment. People all over the world are looking for answers and direction. Jesus is the Way!
Thank you in advance for praying for us and supporting us as we go for Christ.
You are also in our prayers and on our mind. May God bless, keep you safe, and bless you,
Keith & Joan
