Why Do You Come Here?

Ministry Update November 11, 2018

I had some interesting interactions at Missouri State University on Wednesday. I handed out tracts while walking to the witnessing spot. One lady took a tract, but when she realized what it was, she handed it back and said I go to church. Personally, I wouldn’t respond that way. I’d say “I’m a believer too” or “I’m a follower of Jesus.” But mainly I take tracts when offered them. I like to see what other people are handing out. You never know, I may find a tract that I like even better than what I’m currently using. This was my first interaction and the last one ended with “Why do you come here?”  [Read more…]

I Go To Church

Ministry Update September 30, 2018

There was an Awaken The Dawn event in the park next to our normal witnessing spot Friday night, so Conner and I witnessed at the corner of South and Walnut. We encountered many mockers there and after we both brought messages and handed out tracts, we went back to our normal witnessing spot. There, we also encountered more mockers. But in addition to the mockers, we also heard a phrase that we’ve heard many times while witnessing downtown: I go to church.  [Read more…]

Professor Brings Class Out To Meet Open-Air Preacher

Ministry Update September 18, 2016

Aaron, Brian and I witnessed at Missouri State University on September 14, 2016. The “free hug” professing Christians took our spot where we normally witness. So we witnessed at Strong Hall (where they have religious classes). We preached a couple of times and when Aaron went the second time, a crowd gathered and one of Aaron’s former professor brought her class out to meet him. They listened to his message and then she introduced her students to Aaron because she wanted them to see that the man is mild mannered compared to the open-air preacher. Yes, Aaron preaches hard, because eternal souls are in the balance. But he is mild mannered when talking about spiritual matters. Aaron stayed there answering questions for over an hour and a half. May God continue working on the lost souls that heard the Gospel.  [Read more…]

Amen Corner

I was going to call this Church on the Square, but we have church every Friday night in downtown Springfield. So I went with Amen Corner instead. Friday night Kelly, Steven, Aaron, Diana, Elise, Erica, Margaret and a couple of kids and I were witnessing downtown. We sang hymns, then Kelly and I brought messages before Aaron preached. About the time he started, another pastor sat down in front of us with several other people with him. They praised Jesus and said Amen the whole time Aaron preached. It was very encouraging.  [Read more…]

Ministry Update October 4, 2105

This last week was a busy week. In fact, I was so busy at work on Monday that I didn’t get to join Aaron and several others from his church at Missouri State University. They joined some other Christians that day and they handed out around 40 to 50 pizzas to students, sang hymns, preached the Gospel and handed out tracts. Praise God!  [Read more…]

Is Jesus Ruining New Orleans?

Through the Super Bowl Outreach, 115 street preachers converged on New Orleans a few days before the Super Bowl. We were grouped together in ten groups and we were strategically placed on corners with high foot traffic near the convention center, the French Quarter and the Marketplace. [Read more…]
