You Guys Should Have A Podcast

Ministry Update January 14, 2017

Friday night was cold; it was 22 degrees and felt like 8 degrees with the wind chill. I thought it might be good practice for the Super Bowl Outreach coming up the first part of February, since the Super Bowl is going to be in Minneapolis, MN this year. I’m glad I got get a chance to see a little of what it might be like, because just having my fingers uncovered for 5 minutes made them so cold and stiff that I couldn’t turn the pages of the Bible. So, I do need to work on finding some better gloves.  [Read more…]

Good Fellowship

Ministry Update January 7, 2018

Even though it was cold Friday night (but not as cold as other parts of the country), we had good fellowship. Kelly, Conner, Brandon and I had a great time visiting. Conner’s friend Brandon has done street witnessing before, but Friday was his first time open-air preaching. Praise God! We pray that it won’t be his last time.  [Read more…]

Kelly Blessed Many Times

Kelly Blessed Many Times
Ministry Update December 17, 2017

Friday night it was great having Kelly join me witnessing in downtown in Springfield, MO. But Kelly was the one who received “many blessings.” Yes, Kelly was blessed many times. What I mean by that is what Jesus said in Matthew 5:11 that you are blessed when people insult and persecute you falsely for His sake. Well, Kelly was blessed many times Friday night.  [Read more…]

Sexy Cowboy

Ministry Update September 10, 2017

Friday night I was handing out Gospel tracts on a street corner in downtown Springfield, MO when a carload of girls drove by. One of the passengers stuck her head out the window and yelled, “Hey sexy cowboy.” Yes, she yelled this at me. No, I’m not sexy. No, I’m not a cowboy. But I am a follower of Jesus Christ who believes we are to go into all the world and preach the Gospel to every creature. We are supposed to deny ourselves, pick up our cross and follow Jesus. When Christians venture outside of their homes and their churches, they will hear strange comments. But we really shouldn’t be surprised when lost people act lost.  [Read more…]

Very Pleasant Night

Very Pleasant Night

My wife and I witnessed downtown Friday night and we had a very pleasant night. We handed out New Testaments to start with. A couple of young girls walked by us and said they didn’t need them, but the one girl said you should walk around and talk to people. I looked at my wife and she thought it was a good idea. She asked me what I thought. My first thought was I have to “protect the corner where I preach.” But I told her that I wouldn’t mind walking around afterwards.  [Read more…]

Storing Up More Wrath Against The Day Of Wrath

Storing Up More Wrath Against The Day of Wrath

Ministry Update May 21, 2017

Friday night we witnessed several people that are storing up more wrath against the day of wrath (Romans 2:5). Aaron, Serenity, Elise, Desi and I sang a couple of hymns to start the night. I was the first one downtown, so I handed out tracts until everyone else got there. I gave a tract to a guy that walked by and he promptly walked over to the trash can and threw it in. So I kind of suspected it might be one of those nights, right off the bat.  [Read more…]

Vocal Atheists

Ministry Update April 9, 2017

Friday night was Artwalk and there was a good crowd downtown. Kelly, Steven, Serenity, Diana, Elise, Aaron, Joe and I were blessed to have evangelist Larry Craft and his family join us. They nearly doubled the size of our group and we needed all hands-on deck, especially with the vocal atheists that stood in front of us all night.  [Read more…]

Doesn’t Take A Lot Of People To Worship God

Ministry Update March 26 2017

Friday night was a rainy night, but we realized that it doesn’t take a lot of people to worship God. Kelly, Aaron, Erica, Elise, Serenity and I had a wonderful time worshiping God even though there weren’t a lot of people on the square. We sang hymns and us guys preached. We had a great time lifting up the precious name of Jesus and I think we must have sang around eight hymns. Glory to God.  [Read more…]

Noise! Noise! Noise!

Noise! Noise! Noise!

Ministry Update February 19, 2017

Friday night was full of noise! Noise! Noise! No, I’m not talking about our little 37 watt amplifiers. I’m talking about the motorcyclists revving their engines and cranking their stereo’s up. Several cars and trucks revved their engines too. It was very noisy downtown. I understand that lost people don’t like hearing the Gospel. The Bible says it is foolishness to those who are perishing. But a lot of this animosity was directed toward us while we were singing hymns. We also heard many hail Satan’s and other derogatory comments.  [Read more…]

We’re Lesbians

Ministry Update December 11, 2016

Friday night Diana, Elise and I witnessed downtown. I was bringing a message and like countless times in the past, God sent a mocker by at the exact moment to emphasize a point. I was preaching about why we call people to repent and I was quoting where Jesus was telling the religious leaders that they didn’t listen to John the Baptist, but the tax collectors and harlots did. I was making the point that these sinners repented and didn’t continue in their wicked ways; that Jesus never condoned sins and two lesbians walk up at that exact moment saying “we’re lesbians.” So I reminded them again that Jesus never condoned sin; not homosexuality and not lesbianism.  [Read more…]
