Berean Bible Church

This past Sunday, I preached at Berean Bible Church in Arroyo Grande, California. Each year, I've been able to come to this church to thank the kind folk for their sacrificial contribution to The Shepherd's Bible College ministry in New Zealand. The church family is so gracious and my time with them is always encouraging. Pastor Randy Bossom is a seminar speaker at Impact Bible Conference in Hastings this June. Here is a picture of me with Randy after the service. . .

The Shepherds' Conference

So the second day of The Shepherds' Conference is done. What a fantastic time of preaching, worship, and fellowship! It has been an especially good networking time as we've been able to plan for future ministry opportunities at The Shepherd's Bible College and Impact Bible Conference.

Eight Kiwis are in attendance at the conference. Here's some of Team New Zealand. . .


At the first session, The Master's Seminary student body formed a choir and sang to the Lord wonderfully. Here they are seated in the choir loft at Grace Community Church. . .


This afternoon, we were able to spend a few moments with John MacArthur. . .


Our visit to Los Angeles allows us to nail down speakers for future conferences in New Zealand, secure resources for Impact, report to TSBC supporters, present the ministry to potential new supporters, elicit new prayer partners, and learn from like-minded faculty members in other TMAI institutes from around the world. It has been a very profitable time. Please continue to pray for us.

Calvary Bible Church - Missions Conference


This past weekend, Lawrence Pickering and I represented The Shepherd's Bible College at the Calvary Bible Church Missions Conference in Burbank, California.

We were able to describe the ministry and answer questions about how the Lord is equipping church leaders in New Zealand, through The Shepherd's Bible College.

We received a very warm welcome at Calvary Bible Church which is pastored by Jack Hughes. Jack and his wife, Lisa, are coming to New Zealand in June to preach at Impact Bible Conference.

On Sunday morning, I was privileged to preach at Calvary Bible Church in two duplicate services. It is a joy to partner with such a wonderful church body in order to extend the boundaries of God's work in the South Pacific.

TMAI Symposium


Yesterday and today, I attended The Master's Academy International Symposium in Los Angeles. With me were five other Kiwis: Russell Hohneck (TSBC, Principal), Greg Stephenson (TSBC, Director of Programme Development), Lawrence Pickering (TSBC, Board Advisor), Jeremy Rolston (TSBC, Student), and Bryan Martin (River City Bible Church, Pastor).

What a joy to network with 85 leaders and educators involved in the training and equipping of Christians worldwide. Sessions focused on the subject of raising support.

The Shepherds' Conference begins tomorrow!
