I recently returned from a mission trip to South Africa, serving as a Global Consultant for Theological Education with International Ministries. This journey took me to five churches: Brighton Community Church, Umhlali Baptist Church, Reservoir Hills Bible Baptist Church, New Hope Fellowship, and Tinley Manor Baptist Church. It also included addressing the executive committee of the Baptist Association of South Africa and leading a pastors’ conference—each experience revealing how deeply theological education can shape lives, strengthen churches, and spark renewed vision for ministry.

As the anticipation builds for my upcoming commissioning service, the enthusiasm and support from friends, family, and faith communities have been overwhelming. Among the many expressions of interest was a simple yet powerful question: “Where is the link, so that I can support you in God’s mission?”
