Impacting our Sphere of Influence

I’m always amazed how God directs our steps. Just before the outbreak of COVID-19 last year, I was in Russia helping the European Executive staff of Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) launch a sports chaplaincy program for the Saint Petersburg Zenith Football Club.

2021 in Full Swing

Ignite Europe hit the ground running in 2021. I had the honor of preaching all three nights of the Open Heaven Conference, one of the leading conferences in Switzerland.
