For those of you who haven’t noticed, I have not been updating much on this web page for the last six weeks or so. In addition, I have also canceled all my ministry trips during this same time. We as a family and ministry team made the decision to take a six week break from all ministry activities to seek the Father in a more focused and purposeful way. It has been challenging in some ways but mostly a great time of realigning with the heavenly vision that the Father has given us for this time. As you know, I have a real passion for discipleship and have had the honor to disciple some of the worlds most extreme men. In addition, our Father has given this group of men an amazing platform to share what is so precious to each of us, the gospel of Jesus Christ. To date, our Father has given us the honor to share this message, through word and deed, to hundreds of thousands of people. This should be the heart of anyone who has tasted and seen that the Lord is good. You just want to share it with as many people as you can get to. Jesus told his disciples to now go and make disciples and this is the charge that has become a mandate for my life. First I am to disciple my wife Leslie, and then my three little promises; Colton, Tanner, and Holden, then I am to disciple the men he has given me. This may be new terminology to many of you but it by no means is a new idea. This is the beautiful mystery of the Kingdom of heaven. That we, wicked people, would be able to receive one message and through sincere love help each other live out this message. By doing this we become the body of Christ. We become the church, his bride who is being prepared for his return.
Because of my absence, I know that many of you have wondered if I am going to continue to be a part of the Pro Bull Riding Outreach ministry. I am pleased to say that I will continue to serve the men and the fans of the PBR. We are at a point where many of these men have been raised up to do the work of the ministry and are eager to serve in whatever capacity requested of them. I have now missed four consecutive events and the same work that I had been doing has continued in my absence. The joy and excitement that this brings me is equivalent to that of a Father hearing the great things his kids have done. The Lord has done a significant work in the hearts of a small dynamic group of men and I fully expect that the Holy Spirit will continue it. Now, as we are provided the opportunity, I expect that I will be able to be a part of a great group of men who can continue to serve our Father as an evangelism team. Although we have been doing this very thing for the past six years, I believe the realm of people we can go to is going to continue to increase.
Thank you for your continued encouragement as we desire to be single minded about our Fathers kingdom.
Till we come to the unity of the faith,
Todd and Leslie
