In 1 Kings 19: 11-12 Elijah the prophet said the Lord passed by and there was a great and strong wind but the Lord was not in the wind. After the wind there was an earthquake but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake there was a fire but the Lord was not in the fire. Then there was a still small voice. In verses 15 and 16 this still small voice gave Elijah instructions on where he was to go and told him to anoint Hazel to be king over Syria and Jehu the son of Nimshi to be king over Israel. When it comes to witnessing, and in every area of life, it is so important that we learn to listen to and obey that still small voice of the Holy Spirit.

All six of those kids prayed with me to receive Jesus. (more…)

In Jeremiah chapter 1 verse 8 God tells Jeremiah the prophet to not be afraid of their faces and then in verse 17 He tells him not to be dismayed at their faces. In between those 2 instructions in verse 9 God gives Jeremiah the words to speak. I believe the reason that God sandwiched His words between admonitions to not be afraid or dismayed of their faces is that it is important to not be moved by how people look. If you are afraid of their faces you might be intimidated and then not speak God’s words but your own words. If we speak our own words and not God’s words then we will not see the fruit that we could have.

As I ministered at the Farm Progress Show in Decatur, Illinois recently I needed to practice the instruction to not be afraid nor dismayed (more…)

Last weekend my son Tommy and I went to Pittsburg, Kansas for an outreach with the Fellowship of Christian Farmers at the Four State Farm Show. The four states are: Kansas, Missouri, Oklahoma and Arkansas. (more…)

On July 4th I along with 2 volunteers went downtown to the Arch in St. Louis to witness and pass out Gospel tracts to the thousands of people there to celebrate our nation’s birthday. We passed out many tracts and had a good time of ministry. I will post a few photos from this outreach below.

As this is being written my son, Tommy and I are in route to Pittsburg, Kansas to minister with the Fellowship of Christian Farmers at the Four State Farm Show. I would appreciate your prayers as we reach out to the people who come by our booth. We will be handing out free walking sticks with Salvation Bracelets attached to everyone that is willing to listen to the story of the colors. It is a very (more…)
