Living life, loving god, loving people & lessons learned along the way.
Author Archives: Jim Baker I’m working on a book right now on support raising. I just asked my social media network what donors would like to communicate to those asking, and what people fundraising wanted to know. The conversations were very interesting. As you probably know while Jess and I were with YWAM we did not receive a salary. […] I’ve been blessed to be a part of YWAM off and on now for over 12 years. One of YWAM’s major values is hearing the voice of God. I remember being in my DTS (Discipleship Training School) and learning about hearing God’s voice and thinking it was craziness. Until our group all waited on the […]  Hey everyone! Exciting NEWS! The podcast project that I’ve been working on has been accepted and is now on ITUNES! I really wanted my 30’s to be PRODUCTIVE and this is a project that I’ve had the idea for for a while. So I finally pulled the trigger. Doing Ministry Well is a podcast for […]  [a photo i took in Baltimore in 2007] 20 minutes north from where I grew up, on streets I used to drive on to go to the inner harbor, or walk to work for a summer job, there is utter chaos. I saw a video this morning of the national guard lining the streets with […]  There have been two significant times when I’ve been moved by watching others worship. One happened last month. But I’ll share with you first a story from 2004 during my School of Worship in Denver. I was in a Sunday service at a mega church sanctuary which sat around 4000 people. I think the offering […] I arrived Tuesday night to the first pavilion, before the pizza, and before the YWAMers. Cindy saw me and gave me a hug. I’m not sure if Cindy is homeless or not. I know for a while she was collecting cans. She has self appointed herself as an administrator of sorts on pizza nights. When […] I watched this video right before going down to Waikiki to do homeless outreach last night. It made me sick. Part of me wants to believe it’s not real and it’s just actors. But I’m not sure that’s the case. Take 5 minutes and watch this and comment and let me know what you think.  Directly behind where I was standing taking this photo is where the homeless of Waikiki gather on Tuesday nights to be served a hot meal. I’ve been reading through the prophets lately. And I saw a pattern. God’s judgement on Israel and Judah are mainly for three things: worshipping idols, mistreating their poor, and allowing […] I was blessed to spend some time with friends over the spring break. People who have amazing testimonies of hearing from God and stepping out in faith and then share the glory of God’s miracles because of that. Somewhere in this past 5 years I’ve gotten gun shy about hearing God’s voice and obeying. Fear […]  [jess me and hannah on top of mauna kea] Yup that’s snow in Hawaii I get anxious when I fly. Funny isn’t it? I think I’ve probably flown more than the average joe, but for some reason I still get nervous. It’s not a I think I’m going to fall out of the sky nervous, […] |
