ON TARGET – FULL SPEED AHEAD Read More »
Dear ITEM Partner, Day two of three is behind us. It was a FULL and rewarding day. I think it is safe to say there were corrections made in the thinking of many when it comes to spiritual warfare. And what Dalmas revealed to us was very interesting and encouraging to Nathan and me. It

Dear ITEM Partner, As the members of our leadership teams from Kenya and Uganda shared updates with me, I was moved emotionally. At one point I thought I was going to tear up but stopped one inch short. The stories told by Hillary, Noah, Danis, David, Tom, Apollo, and Jacob (not a team member……yet) were
