This month I started my 16th year working with Langham Preaching.
It still feels like a “pinch me” reality, as my brother described this work for me this past week. Or, in the words of the Apostle Paul, it has been “a grace given me”…
In recent times each year’s highlight has remained unchanged and undiminished. It is the release of the annual video-story by our friends in Langham USA (“here’s looking at you, Jeff and Ben!”).
Here they are—in reverse chronological order:
