Route 66 Festival Witnessing Event

Ministry Update August 14, 2022

Springfield, Missouri is the birthplace of Route 66. The city held it’s 10th annual Route 66 Festival celebration this last weekend. This was after a two year hiatus because of covid. I didn’t get to witness Friday night due to health concerns, but Trevor said that he, his wife Elly and their two girls witnessed at the event along with Chase and Michael.

Elly provided the following update of the night on a Facebook post: Thank you for praying for the Gospel outreach! Once the police came we spoke with them for probably over an hour while we held signs & continued Gospel tracting, especially the girls were little super tracters. The police spoke of the area being permitted but we kept on reminding them that it is open to the public and we are members of the public, no one had complained, and we weren’t selling anything, and many had thanked us for being there and many more took tracts (hundreds). I ultimately talked to the main officer until it was time for us to go anyways, and we tried to be amicable and respectful, and the officers were to us as well. A lot of tracting and sign viewing happened, praise the Lord! This pic taken at the beginning of the evening.

(Praise God for the update and favor with the police. These updates are provided to encourage Christians to share the Gospel with others)

Blessed Week Witnessing

Ministry Update September 22, 2019

My wife and I were on vacation this week so I wasn’t sure how much witnessing I could work in, but I ended up having a blessed week witnessing. The week started out by handing out Gideon New Testaments with other Gideons at Missouri State University. I didn’t hear how many New Testaments were handed out, but three of us handed out 500 of them in front of Strong Hall. We had a few mockers, but most students were polite, even when they rejected a New Testament. One student told me that he reads his Bible every day. I told him that I do too and was glad to hear this. Charlie and I talked to a student named Ben. The student wanted to know what church we are with and we explained that we are from various churches. I gave Ben an invite card and invited him to visit my church – Crossway Baptist Church. [Read more…]

Quiet Except For The Police Interaction

Ministry Update July 6, 2019

It rained Friday all afternoon and right up to the time I started witnessing downtown. Even though it was Art Walk, there weren’t many people downtown. I guess the rain kept most people away. I had one encourager. A guy driving by with his window down gave a thumbs up while I was open-air preaching. Other than that, it was quiet except for the police interaction. [Read more…]

Ministry Update July 12, 2015

Friday night was a real blessing to witness downtown in Springfield, MO with my friends. Along with Aaron, Erica, Diana and Elise, we praise God that Anton joined us. He’s the man that was broken last weekend and he went to Aaron’s church last Sunday. Anton sung hymns with us and he stayed for the preaching and helped us carry our stuff back to our vehicles. Then he asked that they make sure that they pick him up for church this Sunday an hour early for discipleship training. Kelly’s friend Alexander also joined us again Friday night, even though Kelly couldn’t make it.  [Read more…]
