JGM News December 2022

As we are fast approaching 2023, it is undeniable, our world has changed drastically in the last 20 years. One thing I love about Gods Word is that it does not change in its message or effectiveness to conform to the world and all it’s weird and demonic ideologies. God’s Word is the same yesterday, today, and forever and it is Good News not bad news.

I have talked to so many people today that have quit listening to the news because there is so much bad news that produces fear and not faith like Gods Word does. The angels’ proclamation in Luke 2:10 is still true today.

Do not be afraid, I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all people

Notice that the Good News from Gods Word doesn’t produce fear but great joy.

Recently I was sharing at a church that at farm shows and FFA state conventions, our booth is always the busiest and most popular. Some would say it is because we give away free gifts, but I believe the biggest reason is because people are hungry for good news and what better news is there that Jesus took our punishment on the cross for all of our sins, and rose from the dead to bring man and God back together, to make a way, the only way for us to get into heaven. It will never get old to me to proclaim the best news in the world that we have all sinned and the wages of sin is death, but according to Romans 10:13 whoever calls on the name of the Lord Jesus shall be saved. God has a home in heaven for everyone who will receive Jesus into their lives as Lord and Savior. Notice the angel said this good news is not for just some people, but for all people of all races, all ages, all nationalities, farmers, city people, and everyone in between. If there is repentance, belief that Jesus is the Son of God, and making Jesus the Lord of your life, then you are guaranteed a home in heaven.

God has called everyone of us to share this good news to a lost and dying world. A short while ago, I talked with a man who is so tired of the bad news in this world that he bought his tombstone, put it in a cemetery, and now he is waiting to die. But if we Christians don’t stick around to tell people how to be saved, then who will. The devil and his crew certainly won’t. It is time for us Christians to realize that we were born for such a time as this and that we are to unpack our bags so to speak because the absence of our light and truth will just bring more darkness and lies.

The Harvest is Plentiful, but the Laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the Harvest to send out Laborers into Harvest Luke 10-2

Several years ago, I was walking through Times Square in New York City, and I was amazed that out of all those millions of people walking the streets of New York, there were so few preaching the Gospel. When I began to share the Gospel with some of them, it was the deer in the headlight’s response. One young FFA student at the Alabama FFA State convention last summer told us that we are the only ones he has seen out preaching the Gospel (even though I know there are others that are doing it also). This is why Jesus said the harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. And then he told us not to pray for revival but to pray for more laborers.

When it comes down to it, our being faithful in proclaiming the Gospel message is a matter of life and death, heaven and hell. I will close with this story to illustrate my point. Years ago, a mother of an FFA student called the Fellowship of Christian Farmers office and said her son came to our tent at the National FFA convention, heard the Gospel message, then he prayed to receive Jesus. She said he had been a troubled boy but now he was on fire for God and living for him. He also started going to youth group. She said a month later he died and went to be with he Lord. I could tell you several stories very similar to this one. These stories are not to glorify us but to stir us all up to be witnesses for Christ.

In 2022 we prayed with hundreds of people to receive Christ at farm shows and FFA State conventions in states coast to coast. We even were able to minister at the Shiprock fair to the Navajos this fall, which we hadn’t been able to do since before COVID hit. We had a good team of people that saturated the fairgrounds, carnival, and parade with the Gospel. We already have a busy schedule lined up for 2023 and with God the best is always yet to come. Please pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have a free course. Pray also that we will preach the truth in love more boldly than we ever have.

A Busy Season Ahead

We are about to get busy with ministering at FFA State Conventions and I thank God for His strength to help me during this busy time. In the past we have seen many kids, coast to coast, come to Christ after ministering to them at these conventions. This is exciting a couple of reasons. Number one, seeing young people get saved and on fire for God is going to help save our nation. Number two, I believe a lot of these FFA kids are the future leaders of America.  

Please be in prayer for these upcoming FFA state conventions and farm shows that many will be saved and changed by the preaching of the Word and the move of the Holy Spirit. Pray that a great awakening and revival will result from this. Our Itinerary (click here) has been updated with some of the ones that I will be heading up and attending.

Thank you for your prayers!

JGM News December 2021

I was reading the Christmas story recently in Luke 2:8-10 where the angels appeared unto the shepherds in the field, and it says in verse 9 that the shepherds were sore afraid. Unfortunately, that seems to be the state that a lot of people are in now. People are afraid of what may be coming down the pike. So many things in the natural look shaky and unstable.

Nevertheless, the message the angels gave the shepherds is the same message that we need to hear today, “Fear not!”. Remember, God is still on His throne. The greater One, the Holy Spirit lives in us Christians. We still have His Word to stand on and His Word will never fail if we only believe.

Another thing we see in these passages is that the glory of the Lord shined around the shepherds. At the farm shows and FFA state conventions where we have been ministering this past year, we have seen the glory of the Lord manifest with salvation and healings. One man’s kidneys started working after one of our men prayed for him. Another man came up to me recently at the Tulsa Farm Show and said he had been taking shots in his back for pain. After one of our FCFI guys prayed for him, he was able to quit taking those shots 2 weeks later because the pain was gone.

I recently heard about a revival that happened two or three hundred years ago where college students were praying by a haystack when a storm moved in. They were so deep into prayer that they didn’t notice the storm moving in for a while, but they eventually crawled underneath the haystack to get protection from the storm. A revival broke out from that, and it was called the Haystack Revival. I have often said that as we have seen many people come to Christ by sharing the Gospel message by using wordless walking sticks, that this revival will be known as the Stick Revival.

A married couple came to our booth at the Indiana State FFA Convention last June. The lady said they needed to be somewhere else but they stayed and prayed with me to receive the Lord. She stated that getting saved was much more important.

The highlight of the year for me was ministering at the Texas State FFA Convention for 3 solid days at the Downtown Fort Worth Convention Center. Over 19,000 kids from all over the state of Texas were at this convention, and many made their way to our booth to be ministered to. A lot of these kids seemed to know that revival is the only thing that will save our nation. I believe some of them will go back and share Jesus with their friends and school. The students, teachers, and parents showed a great appreciation for us being there sharing the Gospel.

We have finished this year strong with fruitful farm shows and outreaches in Springfield, Missouri; Wichita, Kansas; Tulsa, Oklahoma; Carbondale, Illinois; and Indy.

Please pray for us as we gear up to minister the first 3 months of 2022 in:

  • Monroe, Louisiana
  • Cleveland, Mississippi
  • Sioux Falls, South Dakota
  • Louisville, Kentucky
  • Kansas City, Missouri
  • Des Moines, Iowa
  • Cedar Falls, Iowa
  • Dodge City, Kansas

Thank you for all your prayers and support as we hope you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New

JGM News August 2021

I hope you are having a wonderful summer! This has been a great season for us ministering at farm shows and FFA State conventions. We have seen many hundreds of people come to Christ for salvation. I feel like we are living Acts chapter 13:41, which says, “Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and perish: for I work a work in your days, a work which ye shall in no wise believe, though a man declare it unto you.” It is hard to describe in words how fruitful the FFA State conventions and farm shows have been this year. With all the negativity going on in the world, I can tell you firsthand that we have seen such a hunger for the Gospel as we have ministered in 6 FFA state conventions as well as 10 farm shows/outreaches. God also opened a door for me to teach on evangelism at the Fellowship of Christian Farmers National Convention in New York in July.

Just like the keeper of the prison cried out to Paul and Silas in Acts 16:30, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved”? FFA kids and people are coming to our booths by the droves and seeking salvation. As we explain the gospel message and how to be saved, we also teach them how to live the Christian life successfully. We pray with them and give them the Word of God along with other follow up material. The follow up material includes information on websites where they can get some of the best teaching in the world and a phone number they can call to find a good church in their area. One of our goals is to help disciple them through zoom calls. Please pray that people will participate in this.

Please also pray for our upcoming outreach events. Below is a list of some of those shows. As of now, we are still waiting to hear if the Navajo government is going to allow the Navajo Nations Fairs. If so, we plan on ministering at one of those Navajo fairs. Thank you for your prayers and support that make all this possible.

  • August 9 – 14 Carmi-White County Fair in Carmi Illinois
  • August 8 Preaching at Nodaway Valley Christian Fellowship in Braddyville Iowa 10:45 & 6pm.
  • August 17 – 19 Dakotafest in Mitchell South Dakota
  • August 31 – Sept 2 Farm Progress Show in Decatur Illinois
  • September 14 -16 Husker Harvest Days in Grand Island Nebraska
  • October 1 – 3 Ozark Farm Fall Fest in Springfield Missouri

JGM News December 2020

Greetings! As I have reflected on this past year and all that the world and body of Christ has gone through I have a some things on my heart that I’d like to share.

Some of the greatest evangelists of our time have passed on to heaven to be with the Lord forever. I am speaking of Oral Roberts, Reinhard Bonnke, and the legendary Billy Graham to name of few. When Billy Graham died, his son Franklin who also is an evangelist, felt like the Lord showed him that with the passing of his father there would be unleashed a fury of demons on this earth. We have seen this happen in the form of riots, violence, chaos, and pandemics. Prophet Kim Clement shared that after Billy Graham’s death, that there would be many more evangelists raised up to replace him. We are also seeing this happen. Individuals are catching the fire of evangelism and churches working to reach the people of their communities. This is such good news that at a time when this world needs evangelism more than ever, God is making it happen.

When Elijah went in the chariot to up to heaven, the mantle came down on Elisha and he got a double portion of the anointing that Elijah had. I believe that we can have the double portion of the anointings that Oral Roberts, Reinhard Bonnke, and Billy Graham had. With the condition the world is in right now, we will need that double portion. This is why we need to pray and be in His Word more than ever before. We can be so full of the anointing of God that when sinners get in our presence, they will be convicted of their sins.

When the Apostle Paul was on the island of Melita in Acts 28, he picked up a bundle of sticks and put it in the fire. When he did this, a viper came out of the fire and bit him. The viper was in the sticks the whole time, but it did not come out of the sticks until it was put in the fire. I believe the devils we have seen manifested in our country were already there, but as God pours out His Spirit down upon our nation like it says He will do in the last days, the devils manifest. But thank God the Greater One lives in us and Jesus has given us power and authority over all the power of the enemy. God has fully equipped us to be victorious in every area of our life in these last days. So instead of hunkering down just waiting for Jesus to rescue us from this wicked world, we can take this country and world back for Jesus.

I am excited because farm shows have started opening up again after the cancellations because of the pandemic. We just ministered at farm shows in Kearney Nebraska and Wichita Kansas. We saw hungry hearts and people who seemed very concerned for our country. We had young and old people pray with us to receive Jesus, including a foreign exchange student from Germany who is now living on a farm in Nebraska. We also had the Lieutenant Governor of Nebraska with some of his people visit our booth in Kearney. He listened intently as I presented the Gospel to him. Isaiah 60 says that there shall be gross darkness upon the earth but that the unbelievers shall come to our light and kings to the brightness of thy rising. I believe in 2021 as we start off the year at farm shows in Mississippi, Louisiana, South Dakota and Oklahoma we will see the fulfillment of Isaiah 60. I feel privileged to be called an evangelist for such a time as this and your prayers and support help make it happen.

We hope you all Have a very Merry Christmas and a blessed New Year!

 

JGM News July 2020

What a privilege it is for us to be living in these last days. Acts 2:17 says and it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams.

I believe with all my heart that out of the chaos and turbulence that has been happening in the world that a great revival and a great awakening is going to happen. We will see multitudes of people coming into the Kingdom of God to be saved. We must cry out to God for this and see it happening with the eye of faith.

Jesus gives us specific instructions on how to keep our peace and joy during these perilous and dangerous times when there will be gross darkness upon the earth. Luke 21:23 says there shall be great distress in the land and then verse 26 says men’s hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth. What we look at and keep our eyes on will make us or break us. I feel like it is good to glance at some news, but we need to keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and His Word; praising Him, and communing with Him continually.   

In Matthew 24 and in Luke 21 Jesus also instructs us not to be deceived, terrified, or troubled in these last days. This may sound like a difficult thing to do when things are so perilous but the key is that we are to be trusting God by standing on His promises for protection against the pandemics and the violence; meditating on His Word day and night like it talks about in Joshua 1:8.

In Matthew 24:6 Jesus said that we are to see to it that we are not troubled, for all these things must come to pass. I believe the most important warning Jesus gives us out of these two chapters is, to not become offended and cold hearted because iniquity shall abound. If we will walk in the Spirit and not in the flesh, we will produce the fruit of love and not become full of hate.

Matthew 24:14 tells us when the end will come. “And this Gospel of the Kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come. This is what I plan to do until Jesus comes in the clouds to rapture us out of here. I believe the third and final great awakening is upon us and we are going to see the greatest revival and harvest of souls this world has ever seen.

The Louisiana State FFA Convention just recently changed to a virtual presentation. We just learned today that the Four State Farm Show in Pittsburgh, Kansas has been cancelled for this year.

Even though the events where we had outreaches planned for this Spring and Summer were cancelled, I live with the excitement and expectation for the great awakening to come. I minister on almost a daily basis on the streets and marketplaces, or churches and even virtually over the internet. Everywhere we go there are people who need to hear the good news of the Gospel. If we don’t reach the ones God has brought across our path, then who will?

Once again, we thank you for all your prayers and support into Jeff Goss Ministries.

2020 started out with a bang as I ministered at 3 farm shows in January. Two of them were in the south; in Cleveland Mississippi and in West Monroe Louisiana. The other farm show was in the cold north of Sioux Falls South Dakota. In February we ministered at two big Farm shows; in Louisville Kentucky and in Kansas City Missouri. In March it was back down south ministering at the Wichita Falls Farm show. God was moving mightily at these farm shows, especially among the young people, as many of them came to our booth in these cities to receive a Wordless walking sticks and to hear the Gospel. At the Western Farm Show in Kansas City hundreds of FFA kids came to our booth and listened very intently as we preached the Gospel to them. Many of them prayed to receive the Lord. After this we gave them a lot of follow up material including websites and apps so they could get Bible courses and some of the best Bible teaching to continue to grow in the Lord. We even give them a phone number they can call to find a good Bible believing church in their area.

At the Louisville Farm show, after three young men prayed with me to be saved, I prayed that the Holy Spirit would come on them. They left after this but then one of them turned around and came back to me and said to me that he wanted to get closer to God and become a man of God. Once again, I was able to give him access to Bible courses, apps, websites and help in finding a good church. One woman at the Louisville Farm show told me she was full of hate toward her two sons in law. I told her that if she got saved, Gods love would be shed abroad in her heart by the Holy Ghost and that she would be able to love and forgive through Gods love in her. Thank the Lord she prayed to receive the Lord. At the Louisville farm show we had 12 students from all over the nation and world who attend a seminary in Louisville, help us with the Louisville farm show. We were privileged to be able to train these students as well as some other people from churches in that area who came to help us in evangelism.

The public health concerns with the coronavirus COVID 19 has cancelled or postponed outreaches planned for this Spring. As of now, the outreaches we have planned from the end of May and beyond have not been impacted . We are using this time to pray, write, study and reach out over the internet.

I want to encourage you with these words. Ecclesiastes 3:1 says, there is a time for every purpose under heaven. The devil’s purpose for the coronavirus COVID 19 is to kill steal and to destroy. But I am believing that God has another purpose, turning into good that which was meant for evil. Somehow revival is going to come out of all of this, and I mean a great revival. Let us keep agreeing and believing that we are going to see the greatest harvest of souls this world has ever seen.

In closing, here is a list you can use you as you pray during this unprecedented time:

  • Psalm 91:10 , “there shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.”
  • That God would use this to help bring revival to our nation and world.
  • Healing for those who have been infected.
  • For the health and safety of our health professionals.
  • That our leaders would make God led decisions.
  • That the scientists and researchers will discover the medical way to combat this virus.

Thank you so much for your prayers and support into this ministry. We are praying for you. Keep rejoicing, this is going to be our finest hour.

In Him,

Jeff Goss

Luke 2:9 and 10 says, And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid. 10 And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.

Even though this great event happened over two thousand years ago, it is a timely Word for our world today. Putting it in the words of the King James Bible, people today are “sore afraid” and God’s Word to us today hasn’t changed. That word is “fear not”. Second Timothy 1:7 says, For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. Jesus didn’t come to make us sad, but to save us from our sins and to give us eternal life in heaven. He came not to just give us joy but He came to bring us great joy like it says in verse 10 of Luke 2. This is a comforting and great message we can share to the world. This message is so simple and yet so powerful, that we don’t have to be afraid anymore and that Jesus will give you great joy. These are two things we need to continually remind ourselves of everyday and not just at Christmas time.

This past year we were blessed and privileged to be able to minister at 22 different outreaches throughout the United States and Canada. We were letting people know this good news that Jesus came to deliver us from fear and bondage. He came to give us great peace and great joy that the world can’t give us. All year long, from FFA state conventions, to farm shows, to ministering to the Navajo Indians in the southwest, we would see people of all ages light up as we preached Jesus to them and prayed with them to receive Jesus into their lives as their personal Lord and Savior.

We are so grateful to our web designer, Robin, of R & R Web Design (Julie’s aunt) who did a wonderful job updating our website this year.

We were able this past year to reach multitudes with the Gospel. As we look to the coming new year, we see more opportunities to reach more people before the return of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and our goal is to reach even more lost souls with this good news. Now is not the time to hold back but to keep pressing on as the Day of the Lords return draws near.
