Shrinking in my own strength and wisdom and EXPANDING in the understanding of what God can do in and through the person who lives and moves in faith.

It is morning here in Mombassa on the shores of the Indian Ocean (eight hours ahead in time). I am speaking at a pastor’s conference coordinated by my son, Vaughn. Vaughn is starting a training school for pastor’s here in Okunda, just outside the city of Mombassa. Last evening we met at the site to pray. Vaughn’s team had just spent three days on the site praying. We are sensing that God wants to do something here that will bless the nations.
I am a board certified psychiatrist (shrink).I am also a pastor. My faith,not my professional credentials,defines me. Therefore I say that I am an 'expander' not a 'shrink'.
My sense of the significance of what I can do in my own strength has shrunk over the years. My awareness of what Christ can do in the person yielded to His will has expanded over the years.
