Happy New Year 2023!
Dear Friends,
A brand new year has dawned upon us! With that in mind, try this verse: “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining brighter and brighter until midday.” – Ps 4:18 Now, that sounds like a good place for a “Hallelujah”, right there! 🙂
Debbie and I are still very much engaged with the ministry of touching people with our Father’s love.
This year we’ve ministered four times in CA… MN, WI and Nashville a couple of times, and TX and Chicago. We hosted four 3-day Gatherings; in CA, TN and MO… along with many day-trips around MO & KS.
Our hearts are happy, inspired and more intimate with our Father’s Presence than ever before. Truly!
The newest member to our tribe
Last month, our daughter Lydia and her husband Chris had their fourth child – Isabella Marie. Our 10th Grand was born in the car traveling over 100 mph on the way to the hospital. Whew!! She was not going to wait another minute! Mommy and baby are doing quite well. Here are a couple pictures
Widows and orphans
Along with all the ‘normal’ ministry, we haven’t forgotten to help the poor, the widows and orphans – in keeping with James 1:27. (“Pure religion… is to look after orphans and widows in their distress”) Over the years, DPM has contributed to the poor in multiple countries, including: Kenya, Philippines, Honduras, Guatemala, Cuba, Israel, Mozambique, Myanmar (Burma) and the USA. In an ongoing venture DPM has built eight widows’ homes in Kenya through Love Mercy, a ministry of long-time trusted friends, Noel & Mieke Alexander. More homes are presently being built.

Some of our benevolence focus’
- Kenya – building homes for widows and their children in Kiungani, Kipsaina and Endebess
- Myanmar(Burma) – helping children’s homes who are encountering very real persecution and even martyrdom
- Honduras – partnering with Impact Min Intl (IMI) building the City of Refuge in El Motalal Comayagua

A new song
Here’s a late Christmas gift for you… a song I wrote which rallies around our greater inheritance and emerging Heavenly realities. Click here to listen: Heaven Is Here
Influencers/leaders
Over the years I’ve heard several leaders express the following sentiment, so I’m not sure who to attribute it to. But here is my version of this powerful truth!
“If you want the body of Christ to be somewhere in five years, write songs about it now.” – MLH
So, this song heralds an abbreviated essence of what has gripped our hearts in recent years and where we believe many of Jesus’ people will be walking in the near future. It’s been our great pleasure to find many others on a similar journey… and together, we’re experiencing some amazing discoveries. This reality is Biblical. It’s inspiring. It’s for real! And it’s for us… NOW!
My ‘dream’
Heaven Is Here is produced to sound like a stadium full of people singing with abandon… like a ‘dream’ of mine: Imagine that the mindset of a whole society of believers is gripped with the revolutionary awareness of our residency in Heaven – NOW! No distance, no delay… exactly what Jesus said of Himself (“the Son of Man who IS in Heaven” – Jn 3:13 NJKV). Heaven is here, Heaven is now!
This powerful revelation is so pervasive, gripping and effectual that stadiums are filled with men and women caught up in ecstatic joy and wonderment. Football stadiums have never seen such a fever as the overflowing jubilation of saints experiencing this greater reality of our salvation. Our bodies and souls are discovering oneness with our spirit man – which is in the Heavenlies (Eph 2:6, Col 3:1-3). Now, our spirit, soul and body are integrated and in sync with one another… and together, they are brought into Heavenly oneness with our Father, Jesus and Holy Spirit.
In this vibrant reality (which is an integral part of our inheritance) there are limitless Heavenly frontiers on all sides, waiting to be possessed. This is life and life more abundantly!
For reference
Lk 17:24, Jn 3:13, Jn 10:9, I Cor 6:17, II Cor 5:17, Eph 2:6, Col 3:1-4, Heb 12:22-23, I John 4:17, Rev 4:1 and more…
Strategic God
Don’t you just love how God establishes our paths and brings us together in the just the right place and time?! He’s the best! You watch, we’ll hang out with each other again this year and tell more stories of the goodness of God in each of our lives. And that’s a good thought right there!
Love and blessings
May your heart be happy and full, your vision clear, your words be anointed, your hands empowered, your efforts fruitful and your eternal rewards great!!
Our love and blessings to you and yours! ❤❤
