When we was in Kenya, a pastor came from Uganda to meet us and serve alongside us for a few days. Pastor Frank is his name. He shared about his work in Uganda and invited us to come and visit him at some point, which I’m sure many of us would love to do. Recently they were building a new structure but on Sunday March 2nd, some serious storms came through and tore up the roof. Please keep them in prayer as they do repairs. Thankfully, no one was injured!
Thank you to everyone who has joined us for the prayer festivals! March 1-3,2025. We have had an incredible time together in worship, prayers, and hearing the word. Your presence has truly made this experience special.
As many of you know, we have a wonfderful relationship with Pastor Rajendra and SAC Ministries in Vijayawada. Please continue to pray for the work God is doing there and for Pastor Rajendra as he leads several ministries including work with AIDS victims, widows and orphans. If you would like to support SAC Ministries, please follow this link: Support SAC Ministries

It’s Monday morning and I am trying to get back into the swing of things. Recovering from the India trip has been a little more difficult this time for some reason….maybe it was the schedule? Or the temperature? But I have a head cold and sinus issues and I’m still trying to get my sleep pattern back to USA times (and then there’s Daylight savings next weekend)! Currently I’m in NC, and I should be here until about the 16th before heading to Florida.
The NC WAVE Team after the 30-Hour Fast Forward Love Feast.
We finalized our Love Feast 30-hour Fast Forward this year with several from the NC Wave team sharing in the event. We began the fast at noon on Friday and ended at 6pm on Saturday. Everyone fasted on their own this year from their homes and then we gathered together at Golden Corral of share a meal together to celebrate God’s blessing and what He accomplished through the fasting times. This year our totals raised during this Fast Forward season was $3000.00.
We will split it so that Daniel’s school fees are paid and then the rest will go toward helping children of gangs and our deaf students through Vision 2 Hear El Salvador. Thank you all very much for all that you have given to make this effort so fruitful!
As many of you know, Vision 2 Hear is in partnership with The Korean Baptist Church of Havelock, NC, which is the only ethnic church located in Havelock. For the last 20 years, The Korean Baptist Church has been faithful in reaching out to Korean/Americans with the gospel of Jesus Christ. This past Sunday several churches gathered to celebrate the wonderful blessing HKBC has been and to pray forward with all that God has awaiting.
The NC WAVE Team kicked things off with a couple of Sign Language songs, which really got things moving along quickly. With performances from The Havelock Baptist and Jacksonville Baptist, the 2-hour event was filled with songs and worship of the Lord, telling of His great worth and praising Him for all He has done through the ministry.
Reverend James Lee from Denver Korean Baptist Church in Denver Colorado was the keynote speaker for the evening and gave a great message about the real riches stored up in Heaven when we give our all to Jesus. He spoke in English and Korean, self-translating along the way.
As the worship service closed, it was far from over. We still had the food and cake to enjoy. With tons of Korean cuisine to choose from, everyone was quite satisfied by the end of the night having taken in everything from kimchi to eggrolls. As a token of remembrance, each family received a small hand towel from the HKBC.
Thanks for your continued prayers for the Havelock Korean Baptist Church and the First Baptist Church of Havelock as we continue our partnership in reaching this county and surrounding areas with the gospel.

This Valentine’s Day Weekend, let me challenge you to fast from Friday lunch until Saturday dinner, a total of 30 hours to help us raise money to support the work happening in El Salvador. We sponsor a college student and pay for his school each year. He is currently working with children who are living in a high-gang populated area. We want raise funds for him to continue the work and assist some of those kids even more with education. If we exceed the amount he needs, we will use it for work in India as I’ll be going there at the end of February. Please start collecting sponsors now. It would be great for people to donate a $1 per hour…or $30 buck for $30 hours. Your participation will help many people…there’s no greater way to show love than to sacrifice. That’s why we are calling it a Love Feast!

George Lockhart and Vision 2 Hear have had a long standing relationship with Nigeria. Since 2001, George has been traveling to Nigeria helping dig 9 water wells (plus two in Benin) in that time. He has been in partnership with WorldCare Ministries of Kings Mountain, NC from the beginning.
Dr. Moses Neuman, founder of WorldCare is from Nigeria himself and still has much of his family residing there. Working in conjunction with Dr. Neuman, WorldCare, and others, George has been able to assist in seeing many things happen over the last decade.
This trip is the first in over 4 years and George is returning to catch up on the latest work that has been accomplished in his absence. For years, George and his various team members would mix concrete, carry blocks and shovel dirt in helping to build a school. That school has now been completed and is being used on a daily basis! We praise god for his faithfulness through the years to see this task and building completed. George is going back to be part of celebratory exercises and share in the school for a few days.
While in Nigeria, George will also be able to catch up with and visit several of the students/people that have been involved with Vision 2 Hear Africa. We have helped provide school funding for Festus Okwara and Prince Okerke, along with some assistance to Rosemary Kalu and Ikechukwu Okoronkwo. Festus and Prince have graduated recently and George will be able to join them for celebrations of their accomplishments.
We will also be taking some school supplies provided by Christ Fellowship Academy in Palmetto Bay, Florida. Students and Staff of CFA generously gave at the beginning of the school year to help provide supplies for students in our new school. We cannot thank Mrs. Blanco and Mrs. Cruz along with all the CFA Students enough for their kindness and support!
George will fly out on January 19 and return on January 31. Please keep him in your prayers and all of the team from WorldCare and Vision 2 Hear as they travel abroad to continue expanding God’s Kingdom.
