Most Of The Laborers At The Christmas Parade Outreach

Forty Laborers!

Ministry Update December 9, 2018

There were forty laborers from Crossway Baptist Church handing out tracts at the Springfield Christmas parade on Saturday. Originally the weather forecasters were predicting one to three inches of snow. But praise God, that didn’t happen and we handed out thousands of Gospel tracts. Greg led the outreach and I think in the past we may have had around 15 or 16 people witnessing at one St. Patrick’s Day Parade, but praise God, this time there were forty of us! [Read more…]

Wonderful Blessed Night

Ministry Update March 11, 2018

Earlier in the week it looked like I was going to be witnessing downtown Friday night by myself and I must confess I was a little bitter about it. God convicted me over my bitterness, I prayed for His forgiveness and received it. God was going to be glorified even if all that happened were a few tracts handed out. But God had greater plans and it turned out to be a wonderful blessed night of street witnessing.  [Read more…]

We Worship The Same God

Ministry Update February 18, 2018

Kelly and I witnessed downtown Friday night and there seemed to be more people walking around than usual. While I was bringing a message, two Muslims walked up to Kelly. One was recording my message as they talked. They told Kelly that we worship the same God. Kelly politely told them that we do not worship the same God. He talked about Jesus saying that He is the way, the truth and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Him (John 14:6). They mostly talked in Arabic so obviously Kelly didn’t know what they were saying.  [Read more…]

Do You Believe In Science?

Ministry Update November 26, 2017

I witnessed at Missouri State University on Monday November 29, 2017. While handing out tracts on the way to open-air preach, one student said no to a tract, but she smiled and said that she’s a Christian. I don’t think she could tell the tract was a Gospel tract, so I’m guessing she realizes that I share the Gospel weekly at the campus. Another student smiled and waved as she walked by (a different student from last week). A couple of students recorded as they walked past. But the skateboarding atheist rolled by me. I was talking about how billions and billions of years do not explain how the universe came into existence. He stopped and came up to me and wanted to know, “Do you believe in science?”  [Read more…]

I Like Jesus

Ministry Update October 29, 2017

Friday night while I was bringing a message, Conner handed out tracts. He offered tracts to a group of young men and they refused the tracts, but one of them said “I like Jesus.” I like Jesus, just like saying I like the color red. No real emotion or anything. Have we become a society so used to social media that we just break everything down to what we like or dis-like? I didn’t hear the young man, but I suspect it wasn’t just like as in liking a Facebook post. I think the young man was indicating that he likes Jesus. That Jesus is alright by him.  [Read more…]

I Don’t Know Jesus And Don’t Know If I Ever Will

Ministry Update October 15, 2017

Before Kelly and Steven joined me downtown Friday night, I handed out tracts. A lesbian couple walked by holding hands, but I just smiled and offered them a tract. The young woman closest to me took a tract. I figured getting God’s truth in her hand was better than bashing her over the head with warnings that no homosexual shall inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 6:9-10). One guy told me that he’d received my literature before, but he still took a tract and thanked me for being there. Another man was quite supportive and thanked me for sharing the Gospel out on the streets.  [Read more…]

Do You Have A Uterus?

Ministry Update June 18, 2017

“Do you have a uterus?” asked the woman who pulled her SUV into Planned Parenthood’s parking lot. Yes, a woman drove into the parking lot just to ask, do you have a uterus. In other words, if my friends and I can’t have a baby then somehow that negates our right to stand against abortion. Hogwash. Life is precious and life is worth fighting for. Then she repeated “Do you have a uterus?”  [Read more…]

God Will Not Be Mocked

Ministry Update December 18, 2016

Friday night was a cold windy night, but that didn’t keep the mockers from coming out in full force. Aaron was preaching about how long suffering God is toward sinners and he pretty much had one mocker right after the other, the whole time he preached. But a motorcycle rider sat there revving his engine trying to drown out the preaching and just like we’ve seen before, he pealed out and lost control and wrecked the motorcycle. Pieces of his bike broke off. I was witnessing to a vendor across the street, but Aaron went over and preached to the rider, reminding him that God will not be mocked. Just like every other unrepentant sinner, the man needs to repent and trust Jesus.  [Read more…]

 Planned Parenthood Was The Quiet Part

Ministry Update July 30, 2016

Planned Parenthood Was The Quiet Part?

I witnessed at Planned Parenthood on Wednesday July 27, 2016 and the strange thing was Planned Parenthood was the quiet part. A few people drove by and honked – mainly opposed to me being there, but a couple were supportive (you can tell the difference). One person drove by and yelled encouraging words and another not so much. But overall Planned Parenthood was quiet. A few people went in and out and I kept preaching against Planned Parenthood. I continued preaching against murdering little babies in the womb. The people coming and going didn’t say anything including a few workers that were probably going to lunch.  [Read more…]
