Praise Satan!

Ministry Update July 31, 2022

You never know what you will see or hear while out street witnessing. Friday night was one of those on the wilder side. There were eight of us witnessing and Conner brought two of his young kids out with him. We were just getting started witnessing and nobody had even started open air preaching yet. A car full of people pulled up and the driver yelled, “Are you Baptists?” Elly replied, “We are Reformed Baptists.” It appears these young people don’t understand Reformed Baptists, so the driver yelled again, “Are you Baptists?” Elly again replied, “We are Reformed Baptists.” But this time she walked over to their car and handed Gospel tracts to the driver and front passenger. To her credit, she then asked how many are in the backseat and they said two more so she handed them two more tracts. As she walked away, they drove off and the front passenger yelled, “Praise Satan!”

Girl That Says She Slept With Her Stepbrother

That was just the start of a somewhat crazy night. After that, Trevor and Elly were on a corner across the street and they tried to hand tracts to a couple. Both of them refused, but then the woman pulled her pants down. I’ve had women lift up their tops before, but I’ve never seen anyone do that. Conner was preaching during this time and three people crossed in front of Trevor and Elly, but one of the women yelled toward Conner, “I f’d my stepbrother.” All three of them laughed as they walked on. Then a few minutes later, they drove right in front of Conner and woman yelled the same thing again. The man that was driving yelled too, but I couldn’t hear what he said. Obviously they were looking for shock value, or who knows, maybe the guy she kissed in front of us really is her stepbrother.

What Do You Believe In?

Trevor brought the first message of the night, then Conner and I brought one after that. As I was open air preaching, a guy on a bicycle stopped and talked to Matthew and Joshua. Joshua asked the man if he’s a believer and he replied that he believes. Joshua questioned the man what he believed in and that started about a 30 minute conversation that was mainly between the man and Matthew. They had a good discussion and by the end of it, the man understood that faith in Jesus is what we really need.

Matthew Talking To The Guy On A Bicycle

Then Matthew brought him across the street to us because they needed an ink pen. Matthew was giving the guy his phone number. I asked him if he had a Bible and he said that Tyail gave him her Bible, right there on the street! We thank God that Tyail did so and we pray that the man will call Matthew this week. When they were done talking, Matthew prayed a beautiful prayer with the man and prayed that God would save him if he isn’t really saved.

Fellowship With Fellow Believers

Toward the end of the night, I looked around and all of us were conversing with each other. I truly enjoy the fellowship with the other evangelists as much as actually evangelizing. Also Conner’s daughter listened as I was open air preaching and afterward she asked me who was next. She was ready to hear more and I was the third one to bring a message. After that she handed out tracts. I love seeing children hand out tracts. I thank God for Trevor, Elly, their girls, Tyail, Conner (and two of his kids), Matthew and Joshua for coming out witnessing. The fellowship with these dear brothers and sisters in Christ is very sweet. Speaking of which, while Joshua, Matthew and I were talking toward the end, a guy stopped his car in front of us and encouraged Joshua for us to keep doing what we are doing. Then a truck drove by and an older lady in the passenger seat gave us a thumbs up as they went by. So even though we some vile mockers earlier, God blessed us with a couple of encouragers there at the end.

I Hate You

I Hate You Mocker

I Hate You!

Ministry Update July 10, 2022

Praise God there were nine of us witnessing downtown Friday night. It was really hot out, but it wasn’t too bad in the shade. Trevor and his family brought new witnessing signs that had just arrived the night before and they are great signs. Trevor started off open air preaching after we all prayed and right off the bat he had a mocker that said something before ducking into a store. A little while later the mocker walked by with a group of his friends and yelled at Trevor, “I hate you. I hate someone telling me what to do.” This didn’t shock us because non-believers don’t want to submit to the authority of God. They don’t want anyone telling them what to do. Nevertheless, as Christians, it is our duty to share the Gospel with this lost and dying world. Hell awaits all who die in their sins; who die without Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior.

Elly And Trevor With Their New Signs

Uptight About Drinking

Keven ended up talking to two different guys that needed prayer. So he brought them over (at different times) to where Elly and I were standing. The first guy wouldn’t give us his name. Keven prayed for his prayer needs. Before I could pray the guy prayed for us. After he finished praying, I asked him if he was a Christian. He proceeded to say yeah f-ing aye. I told him that I wouldn’t have put it quite like that and that as Christians we aren’t supposed to let any corrupt communication proceed from our mouth (Ephesians 4:29). Then he said curse words in the bible didn’t mean cuss words today. I didn’t go down that rabbit hole.

Keven Talking To A Guy Before He Asked For Prayer. Reed, Trevor And Elly’s Youngest Daughter Holding Signs, Tyail Holding Her Jesus Sign and Trevor And Ellly’s Oldest Daughter.

We talked some more and Elly quoted him Scripture about how we aren’t to be sexually immoral, drunkards, etc. He got a little uptight about the drinking part, but she explained that the Bible doesn’t say you can’t drink, you aren’t supposed to get drunk. Keven had given him a tract before we all talked and Elly was able to get a tract into the woman’s hand that was with him. I just kept circling back to repentance and faith in Jesus and talked to the man about Psalm 51, where David writes about true repentance. But instead of receiving this, the man goes off on what a sinner David was. Yes David sinned, but he greatly repented. David was a man after God’s own heart. But instead of understanding that part, the man just wanted to justify himself by saying David sinned. We pray that the man and the woman will read the tracts and that God will open their eyes to their need of Jesus.

Keven Talking To Christian

Christian In Name Only?

Then shortly thereafter, Keven brought Christian over for prayer. Keven prayed for his prayer needs, better housing, a better job and some sort of transportation. I prayed that God would save Christian if he isn’t really saved. After we prayed, I asked him if he was a Christian, not in name, but truly a follower of Christ. He said that he had been closer to God in the past, but when life is tough, he drifts away from God. I pointed out that we live in a fallen world and we aren’t promised an easy path. That our salvation doesn’t depend on our physical circumstances. We talked about repentance and surrendering our lives to Jesus. Keven had also given him a tract already and I encouraged him to read his Bible daily.

Trevor Talking To Guy That Says Christians Twist Scriptures

Trevor got into a long conversation with a man. The guy said that he believed in the Bible, but then tried to twist everything that he said was from the Bible. Joshua was there with them at first and heard the guy say that the problem with Christians is they twist Scripture to say what they want. As the guy started doing that, Joshua called him out on it he was doing exactly what he accused Christians of doing. But Trevor patiently shared truth with the guy. At the end of the night, Joshua got into a good conversation with another man toward the end of the night.

Mockers And Encouragers

We had some drive by mockers as well as one drive by encourager. One passenger yelled from the back of the car and even got half way out of the vehicle to keep yelling as the car drove away from us. I gave a tract to a guy on a bicycle. He stopped and I asked him if he knew Jesus. He said he was from Afghanistan. So again I asked him if he knew Jesus and replied that he knows a little English. I just encouraged him to read the back of the tract. But while I was asking him if he knew Jesus, a guy walking by spoke up, “Jesus is Lord.!” I said Amen to that. The same guy that said Jesus is Lord came back by later on and had a conversation with Elly. The guy appeared to be a fellow believer.

At one point, I was holding one of Trevor’s signs and a guy was walking in my direction. Before I could hold out my arm to give him a tract, he walked toward me and reached his hand out for one. That rarely happens. Elly offered tracts to several women and they all refused. Following them was a little girl and Elly asked her mom if she could give the girl a tract and the mom said she could. Praise God for that. As usual, the fellowship with my brothers and sisters in Christ was as sweet as the evangelizing. Thank God for Trevor, Elly, their girls, Keven, Joshua, Tyail and Reed for coming out to share the Gospel Friday night.

I Want To Talk To You How You Got The Way You Are

I Want To Talk To You How You Got The Way You Are

Ministry Update December 8, 2019

While I was open-air preaching at Missouri State University on Wednesday, a student politely interrupted me and said, “I want to talk to you about how you got the way you are.” I assured him that I’d be happy to talk to him, but I was just getting ready to share my testimony and that would answer his question. Since I wanted all the students nearby to hear, I would go ahead and tell everyone how I became a Christian and then we could talk one to one. Surprisingly, he agreed and stood around for the next few minutes. [Read more…]

Sweet Christian Fellowship

Sweet Christian Fellowship

Ministry Update August 18, 2019

Friday night the Springfield Opera celebrated their 40-year gala at the Gillioz Theatre. I’m sure they had a sweet time at the gala. Ben and I had sweet Christian fellowship outside. While I was bringing a message, Ben rode up on his bicycle. He’s the same guy that recently prayed for me when I had a rough day and couldn’t even open-air preach that night. But this time I was talking about God being angry with the wicked forever and after the message, Ben and I had a great brotherly discussion. It was a sweet time of fellowship. [Read more…]

Sorry We Don’t Do Abortions Here

Ministry Update July 28, 2019

Many times it’s quiet when my wife and I witness at Planned Parenthood. We go there, I open-air preach and we leave. Sometimes there’s zero interaction. But that was not the case this last Wednesday. I had three admonishers and one woman put a curse on me. I joked with my wife that we got our money’s worth that day. People didn’t like that I was lifting up Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior. They also didn’t like that I was preaching against abortion. [Read more…]

Jesus Would Never Say That

Ministry Update May 26, 2019

We had another blessed time witnessing downtown Friday night. Scotty McCreery was performing at the Gilloz Theatre and the weather was perfect, especially after all the recent storms. So there was good foot traffic and we had the usual mix of mockers and encouragers. But while I was bringing a message about condemnation and Jesus saying those who don’t believe will be damned a guy stopped to talk to Pastor Joshua and told him Jesus would never say that.
