I want to personally invite you to spend a long weekend with me this summer fly fishing here in Northeast Tennessee. We are blessed to have two of the finest trophy trout streams in the country—the Watauga and South Holston Rivers. I fish both these rivers regularly, and it’s not unusual to catch both brown and rainbow trout on the same trip.

Like you, I’m too busy not to take a break. I’m too busy not to take time to gain new understanding of the Bible. I’m too busy not to spend some focused time with my spouse and Christian colleagues. Yes, you and I are too busy not to go to Greece for great memories, new insights into God’s Word and lots of fun! Our most recent Greece tour filled up within a couple of weeks, so don’t delay in registering. Hope you will join us!

October 5, 2019 – October 6, 2019:
Medical missions brings the REMEDY for disease, at home and abroad. And medical missions brings the remedy for sin—Jesus Christ. But in order to do either, medical missions requires healthcare professionals committed to bring the REMEDY – the good news of Jesus. Committed healthcare professionals remain the greatest need in closed countries to provide God’s spiritual and physical remedies. Meanwhile, the world is coming to us, providing daily opportunities to share the gospel with people from most of the 195 countries of the world. Join us at California Baptist University in Riverside, California on October 5-6, 2019 for REMEDY WEST, a CMDA conference focused on bringing God’s remedy to the world via healthcare professionals.
