Ministry Blog

     Back in 2009 I put up an “unofficial” website for First Navajo Baptist Church in Crownpoint New Mexico. It was one of 1500 basic “websites” that were put up for the Baptist Ministries database we were building back in 2009. The Baptist Ministries Database is a link based system, […]

     Back in 2009 I “rescued” a domain “sandylane.org” for Sandy Lane Baptist Church in Fort Worth Texas. I worked off and on with the pastor at the time, but never really established an official website for the church.      I received several phone calls over the years from people […]

     I "rescued" a domain for "Bible Baptist Church" in Harrisburg Illinois back in 2009. They are a small Independent Baptist Church. Harrisburg Illinois has a population of around 10,000 people. We have been "officially" hosting their website since a member found their "rescued" in 2010. He has been creating […]

We made some new friends.      Over the last several days Maureen and I have had the pleasure of opening our home to a couple (Daniel and Hannah Iwanowycz) that is chaperoning a group of students from Pensacola Christian College as they travel around the United States.      The group […]

Updating Websites           I received an email from Pastor Gelfand of Sewickley Lighthouse Baptist Church (SLBC) in Sewickley PA. He sent me a copy of the church’s calendar and asked me to put it up on their website.      I put their 2016 Calendar (pdf file) up on the […]

     I was contacted yesterday by Paul Pullen, a former pastor I put up a website for last year. Paul was no longer pastoring the church we put up that website for, but the church he was attending now (North Spoon Baptist Church in Poplarville Mississippi) wanted a new website. […]
