SITE DEDICATION: This site is humbly dedicated to Jesus Christ, in whose name I cast this bread upon the water.

A little about your webmaster

I make my home in Flagstaff, Arizona in the heart of northern Arizona's dramatic scenic beauty and richness. I'm the father of two beautiful boys whom I adore - ages 4 and 9. My wife left me in 2003 and I am now divorced, but through God's grace and help, I'm continuing to seek His will and direction for my life, and will continue with His help to keep ministering to the lost and hurting through this site. While this trial has been by far the most difficult of my life, I can truly say more of "John" has died in the past year. Nothing is the same anymore. The world and its pleasures have grown dim in the light of His glory and grace. And I find myself moving quickly toward the day where I can say with Paul, "I count all things as dung, that I may win Christ."

Originally from Georgia (born in Florida), I work full-time at the local university as a graphic designer . I enjoy the outdoors and love to hike, camp, and fish. In 2002, I went on a hiking trip through the Grand Canyon, and I've also climbed Mt. Humphreys, Arizona's highest point at over 12,640 feet.

But most of the time, you'll find me curled up in front of the fireplace with my Bible or a good Christian book, listening to Christian music, or working on this web site (or sometimes doing all at the same time). You'll also find me cranking up my bass guitar and playing along with Jimmy Swaggart or the worship team at Family Worship Center.

Freely I have received; now freely I give

In Isaiah 55:1, the Lord pleads with all who are thirsty to come to the waters, without price, without money. It echoes Jesus' call, "Whosoever will, come and take the water of life freely."

Freely I have received so much from the Lord, and now freely I give. (Matthew 10:8).

Thank you for visiting this site. I pray that as a result of your visit, you have drawn closer to our Lord, and that you have been strengthened and encouraged in the faith. And ultimately, that your eyes have been turned back toward the cross of Christ.

May the Lord richly bless you and meet your every need.

John Powell
Your Webmaster

But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world. (Galatians 6:14)
