The Leap
Well it’s official; we had our last service as pastors of Victory Family Church and have stepped out to plant a new church and recovery center. If you have been keeping up with us through Facebook, Twitter or here on the blog then you know that we are in the middle of a big transition. [...]
Quest for authentic Christianity
It’s been said that Christianity started in Jerusalem as a movement, went to Greece and became a philosophy, went to Rome and became an institute, went to Europe and became a culture, went to America and became an enterprise. So much about church has changed throughout the centuries. Much of that change has been good, [...]
CrossCentral Coming Soon!
Five years ago my parents were called of God to move to Merida and open up a recovery home for men. It was a big decision for them to step into the mission field and pioneer a new harvest for Victory Family and the Kingdom of God. It was a bittersweet time for us at [...]
Wow! A real revolution.
I’ve just spent the past twelve days speaking with two groups of persecuted pastors and underground church leaders on two continents. For security reasons I couldn’t tell you names even if I knew them. As young passionate leaders of a real Christian revolution journey to meet at an undisclosed location, it’s like a family reunion.

The pure Jewish congregation of Jerusalem was still under Temple worship, dietary law, circumcision etc. It was a difficult transition from [...]
Real Fasting
“Shout! A full-throated shout! Hold nothing back-a trumpet-blast shout! Tell my people what’s wrong with their lives, face my family Jacob with their sins! They’re busy, busy, busy at worship, and love studying all about me. To all appearances they’re a nation of right-living people-law-abiding, God-honoring. They ask me, ‘What’s the right thing to do?’ and love having me [...]
The Call Crisis Tour Houston
The most dangerous place in America for Black or Hispanic babies is in their own mother’s womb. About 3,300 babies die everyday to abortion in America. Of those 2000 are Black and Hispanic. People are waking up to the fact that Planned Parenthood is building these abortion clinics in low economic areas and is intentionally [...]
“Forget Tongues and Miracles Preach the Cross” by Leonard Ravenhill
Listen as Leonard Ravenhill makes bold statements about Charismatic chaos in the American church. “You’ve been to one charismatic meeting you’ve been to them all. We are trying to work something up when God has to send something down” “Forget ‘There’s room at the cross’ There’s room on the cross, get on the cross.” “Our [...]
