Ink and Influence - The Authors Who Shaped Gary and Jason's Ministries
In this enriching episode, we delve into the literary influences that have shaped the ministries of Gary and Jason. Both of them agree with the adage that "leaders are readers." Numerous authors have profoundly impacted their approach to ministry, with a special focus on the late Henry Blackaby, whose works have left an indelible mark on their spiritual leadership.
They explore how reading offers new perspectives and challenges and stretches one's faith and leadership abilities. The recent passing of Henry Blackaby serves as a poignant reminder of the lasting impact that thoughtful, biblically grounded authors can have on individual lives and broader ministry practices.
This episode is both a tribute to the transformative power of such writers and a call to action for listeners to engage more deeply with books that advocate solid biblical principles.
Join us as Gary and Jason discuss how they have translated these teachings into practical actions within their ministries and how listeners can do the same to broaden their impact.
It’s a celebration of legacy and a motivational push toward personal and spiritual growth through the disciplined pursuit of knowledge and wisdom.

The Harvest Begins - Exciting First Fruits of a New Church Plant!!!!
This episode brings you a very exciting update from Iglesia Bautista Evangelica de Macoris, which embarked on a bold mission in October 2023 to reach an unreached area of San Pedro de Macoris. Under the leadership of missionary Doug Hodges, the church has been diligently ministering to this community for the last six months. Despite the slow start and minimal spiritual fruit initially, recent developments have ignited a wave of excitement across the congregation.
We're thrilled to share that three young men have recently decided to surrender to Christ. This spiritual breakthrough comes with no coercion or emotional manipulation; instead, it results from a consistent, expositional walk through the Gospel of John. The Holy Spirit is moving powerfully among us!
As we celebrate these incredible victories, we also recognize the challenges ahead. Many new believers come with spiritual baggage from their backgrounds in Catholicism and Pentecostalism, which requires careful, biblically wise discipleship. This episode celebrates the recent successes and serves as a call to action for continued prayer and support. Join us to hear more about the journey so far, the transformative power of the Gospel, and how you can be a part of this exciting phase in our church’s mission.
