Kirk Says Kobe Bryant Formed And Saved By His Catholic Faith

On Sunday, January 26, 2020, after the sad news went out that Kobe Bryant and his daughter were among those who died in the helicopter crash, many people posted on social media about their deaths. One of the posts I read was by Charlie Kirk. I think Charlie Kirk does a great job representing his political party and I appreciate his common sense approach to life. But I was greatly disappointed in his post concerning Kobe Bryant’s death. Kirk says Kobe Bryant formed and saved by his Catholic faith. [Read more…]

I Will Go Straight To Hell

Ministry Update March 24, 2019

Friday night when I first got out of my, car I could hear Jeff preaching. Jeff and Taylor came up from Arkansas to witness and they started early. As I started walking around my car, five women asked if I would take their picture by the Springfield sign on the Discovery Center building. I said sure, took the picture and told them I had something for them and gave them all New Testaments. Then one girl asked if I witness at MSU and I told her yes. She said, “I thought I recognized you.” Then I made my way to where Jeff was preaching and a man was heckling him from across the street. The man was the first of many that said he would go to Hell. One man toward the end of the night said, “I will go straight to Hell…” [Read more…]

Harsh Message

Ministry Update June 3, 2018

Conner, Kelly and I were handing out tracts Friday night before we started open-air preaching. I tried to hand tracts to two guys walking by and they refused the offer. I asked the one guy where he’d go if he died tonight. He replied, “I’m not going anywhere you are concerned.” The three of us just looked at each other. The gentleman couldn’t have been more wrong. We are concerned about where people spend eternity. That’s what compels us to go out witnessing.  [Read more…]

Light Night Loaded With Open-Air Preachers

Ministry Update October 22, 2017

Friday night was a light night loaded with open-air preachers. It was a cool night and the crowd was light, but it was great having Kelly, Steven, Conner and Brian come out witnessing. Even though the crowd was light, we had both some encouragers as well as mockers. Plus, we had a good time visiting with each other when we weren’t bringing messages.  [Read more…]

Ministry Update March 19, 2017

Friday night, Justin and his little brother Brayden joined me witnessing downtown. It was St. Patrick’s Day, so we weren’t too sure of what to expect. We started off singing a couple of hymns and then I brought a message We Are Not Used Car Salesmen. I wasn’t very far into the message when three young men stopped right in front of me. I asked them if they had a question and they all said no, they were just listening. But before long a couple of them said they felt like I was judging them and I shouldn’t judge them because they were good Catholics.  [Read more…]

Flag Burning, Transgender, Catholic, Atheist and Satanist

It was an honor to witness on Veteran’s Day at MU in Columbia, MO with several brothers in Christ from Kirksville and Rolla, MO as well as some from Illinois. We had a great day of witnessing on campus, even though some students were still protesting Trump’s victory by burning an American Flag. This happened before I got there, but my friends told me about it and the local news covered it too.

It was very sad, especially on Veteran’s Day. I’m grateful for every man and woman currently serving our country and for all who have served in the past. Because of your sacrifice, we still enjoy our freedom in our nation, so thank you for serving!  [Read more…]

What Is The Work Of God?

What Is the Work of God?

What is the work of God? Notice, I didn’t say the works of God. Many of us can name various works of God; such as when God made the heaven and the earth (Genesis 1:1) or when God made us human beings (Genesis 1:26-27). God made the angels and Hell for the devil and the fallen angels (even though Hell hath enlarged itself and people foolishly fall into it by dying in their sins – Isaiah 5:14). We can think of many works of God, but what is the singular work of God?  [Read more…]

Kentucky Derby Outreach 2016

It was a real blessing to witness at the Kentucky Derby Outreach through Sports Fan Outreach International. Twenty four of us from around the country had a wonderful time of fellowship and laboring for God’s kingdom. Twelve hour days of witnessing were long and the nights seemed short, but it was an amazing time of sharing the Gospel through tracts, one to one witnessing, a hand held sign, prayer stand and open-air preaching.  [Read more…]

I’m Catholic

Rich, Aaron and I joined some other evangelists from around the country the first of May and we witnessed at the Kentucky Derby. Many people went into Churchill Downs drunk and many, many more left the place totally drunk. But when we tried to get them to see their sinfulness and God’s Holiness we would ask them if they had been drinking and instead of admitting it, a lot of them said, no I’m Catholic.  [Read more…]

Three of us from Springfield and four evangelists from Rolla, Missouri went to the Kentucky Derby Outreach 2015 the first weekend in May and we had a great time lifting up the name of Jesus at the derby. There were 31 evangelists there from all around the country who participated in the Sports Fan Outreach International event and it was a real joy and blessing to proclaim the glorious Gospel of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 4:6) with our fellow laborers.  [Read more…]
