Welcome

Welcome to the Strategic Issues Global Network [SIGN]. SIGN addresses strategic-level issues impacting the Body globally. Each blog is a short article drawn from my time of prayer, that targets and defines the dynamics of one of these “issues.” Rather than analysis or opinion, what is sought is God’s heart and His priorities.

SIGN is very Israel- and marketplace-focused. Along with the persecuted church, these are God's priorities for these times. SIGN also is prophetically contemporaneous, as we reach for the standard of maturity Paul outlines in Ephesians 4 that combines the full knowledge of the Lord and unity within the Body.

Originally birthed in early 1996, as a private email list, SIGN is a part of the ministry of Global Initiatives Foundation (www.strategic-initiatives.org). I have authored four faith-based marketplace books including: The Joseph-Daniel Calling; God’s Economy, Israel and the Nations; Heart of a King; and Something More.

My wife and I typically spend over half the year overseas with entrepreneurial community development programs mobilizing believers in lands like Russia, Belarus, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Botswana, Nigeria, China, Vietnam and Israel as faith-based community builders. Thank you for praying for us.
