This is a reminder of the Tabernacles conference that we will be hosting from October 18-20 at the DoubleTree hotel on Park Place Blvd. in Minneapolis! We have held conferences there in past years. The cost for a room is $129 per night, plus appropriate taxes. Considering the inflation rate these days, this is a good price.
Keep in mind that there are two DoubleTree hotels in Minneapolis. We will be meeting at the one on Park Place just off Hwy 394 that heads west out of the downtown area.
As usual, our plan is to livestream most of the sessions. The exception is James Bruggeman, who does not want to do things live but prefers to edit the videos before making them available on his website.

Here are a few pictures from the Philippines, where we support the ministry of Dr. Rebecco Regino and his wife, Juanita. He leads a few house churches on Mindanao. I met him in 1998 when I flew to the Philippines to hand out diplomas to the graduating class of Eternal Life Bible Institute. This Institute was established by Dr. Jack Jacobson in 1993. Jack was a retired Lutheran minister who was one of the founders of Rise and Shine Fellowship, which, in 1996, asked me to assist in Minneapolis. That is how I moved from Seattle to Minneapolis.
The school on Mindanao eventually shut down for lack of funding, but he continues to establish house churches where he teaches the word. This has a powerful and lasting influence on the children of the next generation.
Here is a gathering of young people being taught the word.
Pakistan Mission
Since the arrest of former Prime Minister Imran Khan two days ago, the political situation in Pakistan has make it unstable and difficult to travel. Pastor Fiaz was going to hire a lawyer to redeem another slave family, but that too has had to be postponed. Pray that things will stabilize soon, so that we may continue this work unhindered.
BREAKING NEWS: Pakistan’s Supreme Court has ordered the release of Imran Khan. Perhaps this will settle things down.
