Medical Missions…With a Twist

TCBC is honored to support the Tom Needham family, missionaries to Cameroon, Africa, where Tom works closely with several GFA missionaries. He is a tireless worker, and God is doing a tremendous work through his ministry.
Tom recently returned to the States with his 14-year-old son, Daniel. Daniel has an unusual spine deformity that [...]

Quick Hits (8/29/06)

I’ve been extremely busy lately, and blogging has fallen by the wayside. Funny thing is, I didn’t even go through “withdrawal.” Go figure. Anyway, rather than making 10-12 posts today, I’ll provide several “quick hits,” some sacred and some silly:

Wowzers! Piper Preaches on Spirit Baptism, Filling and Miraculous Gifts

I’ve benefited from much that John Piper has said and written. I’m grateful for what I’ve learned from him, and I’ve said so.

It’s been a great day at the Anderson house. Today is the 5th birthday of my 3rd daughter, Esther Ruth. She’s enjoying a new scooter from her Nana & Papa, some doll house “stuff” and–though she doesn’t know it just yet–”Kit” is moving in in the morning, courtesy of some help from Grandma [...]
