I’ve decided to further my education. No, I’m not joining Harry Potter at Hogwarts; I’m pursuing a seminary degree. This is something I have wanted to do since I went into full-time ministry about three years ago, but I never had the time and money. (I’m not sure I have the time or money now, either, but I’m going anyway.)

I am in the process of enrolling in Liberty University’s distance learning program. I’ll be pursuing a Master of Arts in Theological Studies. My first class starts next month. I’m only taking one class initially, so I can see how well it fits in with my touring schedule. Hopefully I’ll be able to get a little more aggressive with my class load in future semesters. (Either that or I’ll graduate sometime next decade.)

My magic ministry has just been approved and included in the Endorsed Ministry Guide. Over the last month, they have checked references and reviewed my ministry.

The Review Board of the Endorsed Ministry Guide is made up of ministers, event planners, and recognized professionals who have agreed to provide their evaluative comments, recommendations and constructive critiques of ministers and ministry organizations for the purpose of promoting, protecting and preserving quality ministry relationships. These endorsements are only given to those who have completed their extensive application process and maintain their high integrity and quality standards.

If you are looking for a ministry of integrity, you should check out the Endorsed Ministry Guide. While you’re there, you can leave a review of my ministry.

I have always provided an assortment of images to help promote the events I do. I just finished creating a new tool to make it even easier to create promotional fliers. You just enter your event details and click the button. Your customized flier will be created and downloaded in PDF format, ready for you to print out to promote your event.

Let me know if you find this useful, and if there is anything I can do to make it work beter for you.

The tool is available on my Promotional Downloads Page.

I just completed a coast-to-coast tour, in less than a week.

It all began Saturday at Christian Worship Center in Barrington, New Hampshire for their Un-Halloween Party. This is a church of about 200 people, and they had around 2,000 people come through their event. I did multiple programs during the evening. Everyone was invited back for church the next day, where I performed again and presented the Gospel.

Monday I was back home in Kentucky. I did two programs for the kids at a local Head Start. This was done through my church, Christ’s Chapel. This is in a community has been the focus of an ongoing outreach program for the past several months. This wasn’t a situation where it was appropriate to do any sort of Gospel presentation, but it was an opportunity to build more relationships in the community.

Wednesday I performed at Harvest Time Assembly in Brentwood, California. They were having a Harvest Festival. Usually, I don’t think it’s a good idea to schedule an outreach event that competes with Trick-or-Treating. However, in this community, it worked well. Due to concerns about gang violence, many people don’t want their kids going door-to-door.  This church of about 300 people had an estimated 1,500 people at the community event. I did four performances on an outdoor stage.

It is great to work with churches who really understand that it’s not all about them.

 I just completed another little road trip. I did two programs in the Indianapolis area, and one in Missouri, but not in that order. That would be too easy.

It began on Saturday in the Indianapolis area with a church family fall festival. After it ended, I drove to Missouri. Sunday morning, I performed at a church there for a celebration to honor their pastor’s 30th year there. Finally, I headed back to the Indianapolis area. This time, I performed for an Upward Soccer Award Night.

It was a busy weekend, with a lot of time spent on the road. (I do like Illinois, but it is not the most exciting state to drive across–twice. I think I’ve seen enough corn fields for a while.) It was an exhausting weekend, but I still love my job!
