Yesterday, I had the chance to travel with Glenn to the West Fayetteville, TN church to a missions day. To say, I was encouraged by the works supported by this comparatively small church, would be an understatement. On Saturday night, I had a tough time deciding whether or not to travel out with Glenn to this event. It’s such a busy season. I’m so glad that I did. I heard about extensive work in India and Africa. I heard about the faithful brethren in Ukraine, who are living in a war siren zone all of the time. I saw pictures of the children sleeping on the tile floors in the areas of bomb refuge. But these children are watching their parents continue to evangelize, even through the horrors of war. Over lunch, I had a conversation with Brian Hall, who is using his skills as a printer to make and take thousands of books from libraries of US preachers to the places where they are needed all over the English-speaking nation of Guyana. Overall, it was a day of conviction for me…conviction that when we each use our unique situations and talents for souls, God gives the increase.
One opportunity especially stuck with me as I heard from my husband about the work at GBN. The Gospel Broadcasting Network was, like the other works, unique in its scope. While the other works were generally targeted at one area of the world, the network is a worldwide effort to present the pure gospel to every part of the world in which there is internet access. Every imaginable question about faith is easily searchable and is answered with scripture through lessons, podcasts and interviews produced by GBN. And people are searching. The guys at the network are constantly hearing from those who have discovered simple New Testament Christianity all over the US and the English-speaking world. People are finding truth and contacting the network for help in accomplishing their salvation and finding the church in their locales. It made me very glad that Glenn gets to be part of this and, especially, that Digging Deep is finding its way into the programming of this network in a larger way in 2026.
This opportunity, though, is especially timely. I rarely use any space in this blog for fund-raising. But this particular opportunity is hard to NOT mention. One of our brothers has offered to match any funds donated to the Gospel Broadcasting Network between now and December 31st. Even if you are able to give just a small amount to GBN, your money will automatically double, if given in the next 30 days! From what I know, firsthand, about GBN, this means that the number of souls reached with the gospel will be growing exponentially, too.
I just knew there were some of you who would want to know. Of course, anytime is a good time to give to any of these sound mission works. But there are very limited times when you can make your donation go twice as far!
Here’s the info you need:
If you want to send a check, make it out to GBN and earmark it “matching funds”. Send it to: Gospel Broadcasting Network
8900 Germantown Rd, Olive Branch, MS 38654

One more thing I heard over lunch. A missionary was telling me how that, in his travels, in a deep south US state, he came´ across a congregation of God’s people who had never even heard of the Gospel Broadcasting Network. It was, actually, in an area where there are lots of diggers. Well, if you’re a digger and you haven’t checked out the Network, you need to go and bookmark the site or download the app! Nobody should be digging without the resources that are there! They are all free. There’s never a charge for any GBN book, e-book, commentary or recording. Let me repeat: Never a charge!
If you could do your Christmas shopping through an outlet in which some donor was willing to put a dollar in your wallet for every dollar you spent, you’d find the gifts you need in that place. If you could do your soul-winning (at least some of it) through an outlet in which every donation you made was matched dollar per dollar…well, that’d be a good place to start winning some souls. I’m praying for this window of opportunity through the month of December. You pray, too!
For the past 22 years, my husband, Glenn, has preached from the pulpit of the West Huntsville church in Huntsville, Alabama. For ten of those years, he had the great blessing of serving as one of her shepherds. I don’t know, for sure, how many classes he’s taught there and how many lessons he’s preached, but, conservatively, we would have to know it’s been well over a thousand messages—maybe two thousand, all told. That’s a bunch of his life’s words that have been spoken as a part of the work of this great church.
We are thankful that we will get to keep working, as members, with our family at West Huntsville. We would have had a very hard time taking this new job with GBN, had the West Huntsville elders thought it best for us to worship elsewhere. We love them and we think it’s important for our grandchildren to be a part of the West Huntsville church. We know of no greater eldership to be watching for the souls our family. 
Yes!
That’s right. Gospel Broadcasting Network has a great app for your device and it now features a “Ladies Only” tab which highlights our study…Digging Deep! It’s easy to use. It’s growing (and DD is even pretty in pink…or maybe it’s mauve.) Everything’s not up yet, but Jen is working hard to get more and more of the material app-ready and the best part is, all back-studies are there already and all podcasts for the current study are there, too…in one easy-to-find place.
Finally, tell everyone you know. Spread the word. I would love for every single person who’s studying along to have access to the many materials from the good folks at GBN. My husband is privileged to serve on the board of directors for GBN and I can attest to the soundness and practicality of the content. Take a listen to the fresh, new podcast called “The Authentic Christian” for starters or watch the conversion story of my friend Will Tucker in the GBN original movie “A Little Cup of Wisdom.”
