Weeping On The Campus

Ministry Update September 5, 2024

I thank the Lord that hundreds of tracts were handed out at Missouri State University on Wednesday August 28, 2024. After handing out tracts for 30 minutes or so, I did a little open-air preaching. Unfortunately, I turned the ringer off on my phone and didn’t realize that Moses was trying to reach me. I only got to witness with him for 15 or 20 minutes before I had to go back to work. But Moses, his wife Mercy, their daughter-in-law Prasanna and her two oldest daughters got to witness after I left.

Moses sent me an update about an hour later and said there was weeping on the campus. Here’s what his message said: Please pray for Logan who was wrought upon and was weeping when I was preaching at Missouri State University. Sister Prasanna is speaking to him! I immediately started praying for Logan and we all have been praying for him since that time. Brother Moses exchanged numbers with him and is staying in touch with Logan.

Read The Bible Every Night To Our Children

Moses, Anand and Anand’s two oldest daughters and I witnessed downtown Friday night August 30, 2024. I pretty much missed them again. I was the only witnessing before they got there, so we only got to fellowship for a few minutes. A group of three people asked me what church I attend. They said they were believers too, so I asked them to pass the tract on after they had a chance to read it. It was a pretty quiet night, but after I’d been there for a while, a young man came across the street and asked me what I was handing out. I told him they were Gospel tracts and he took one. When I asked him if he knew Jesus, he said that he does. He told me that he’d been in prison and had a bit of a rough life, even though he’d grown up in a Christian home. I asked him if he had a Bible and if he reads it. He told me, “Yes, my wife and I read the Bible every night to our kids”. That was the best conversation that I had Friday night.

Anand sent me this update later on: After you left brother Dennis, we went to the square and my Dad (Moses) open-air preached some. There was loud music, but some people heard my Dad. One woman said she was ready to face God’s judgment in a casual way. Another couple walked away as my Dad spoke against adultery and fornication, but a bit later took Gospel tracts from my Dad. May God bless the tracts and the open-air preaching.

So You Guys Are Christians?

So You Guys Are Christians?

Anand, Michael and I witnessed downtown Friday night. I got there first and as I was walking to the witnessing spot, I saw four teenagers standing around so I walked up and handed them tracts. The first young man took one, then as I handed a tract to the second one, he said, “What’s this?” I replied, “It’s a Gospel tract.” Then he said, “Oh, cool.” Then I asked them, “So you guys are Christians?” They shook their heads up and down.

Then I asked them how they became Christians? The third guy said from church and the fourth teenager said that he grew up in a Christian home. Since they didn’t mention anything about repentance and faith in Jesus, I shared a shortened version of my testimony with them. I told them how I spent 33 years as false convert and how I would have gone to Hell if I had died anytime before I was truly saved. I don’t want anyone to go to Hell. That’s why I hand out tracts and share the Gospel. They didn’t have any questions, so I asked them if they have Bibles and they said they do. I encouraged them to read the Bible every day. I shook their hands and thanked them for listening. [Read more…]

Encounter Of The Good Kind

Tyail, Joshua, Michael and I witnessed downtown Friday night. The temperature was above freezing, but it was cold with the 10 mile per hour wind. This was our first night of witnessing on a cold night and it was really cold. I started off with a short message and had a couple of walk by mockers. Because of the cold, Joshua suggested we go caddie corner across the street and stand next to the building to block the wind. We thought that was a great idea, so we all moved over there and that’s when we had the encounter of the good kind. [Read more…]

Why Did You Refuse A Tract?

Non-Religious Person Takes A Tract

Why Did You Refuse A Tract?

Friday night was such a blessing to witness downtown with Chase, Austin, Joshua, Conner and his two kids, Michael and Matthew. At one point I tried to hand a tract to a young girl and she refused it and said no thank you. I normally don’t do this, but I asked, “Why did you refuse a tract?” She replied, “I’m not a religious person.” I told her the tract was for non-religious people. She looked quite surprised and took the tract. I hope and pray that she reads it. [Read more…]

Pleasant Conversation

Ministry Update October 21, 2018

Many times we encounter mockers while street witnessing. For example, on Wednesday at MSU while I was bringing a message, Quinn the skateboarding atheist skated by and shook his fist at me. I just pleaded with the students to not continue shaking their fists at God. That they need to repent and trust Jesus. We also encounter mockers downtown (like Conner and I had Friday night). But after open-air preaching at MSU, I walked over to a student who listened to the end of the message. I handed him a tract and he gladly received it. Then we ended up having a pleasant conversation for the next 15 to 20 minutes.  [Read more…]
