She stood at least 50-feet away and listened. She listened for quite some time before she moved forward. What prompted her to come forward was my offer to those in the area of free bibles, in English or Spanish. She sat down on a bench just a couple feet away from me and immediately opened her new Bible. And there she sat, listening. I continued to ask people to come … [Read more...]
The Sovereignty of God and a Conversation with Judd
"Is This Effective?" "I don't think open-air preaching is effective." Many professing Christians believe this way. I respectfully submit that every Christian who believes this way does so from the perspective of a worldview that is less than biblical. Whenever a professing Christian approaches me while or after I have finished preaching and hits me with the "effectiveness" … [Read more...]
Scriptures for Abortion Clinic Ministry
Recently, I have been asked by multiple people to provide the list of abortion-related Scripture verses I have in the front of my Bible--verses I use when open-air preaching or engaged in conversation outside abortuaries. You can see a recent example of me reading these Scriptures aloud outside the Planned Parenthood in Iowa City (IA), here. Before reading a verse or passage … [Read more...]

Raoul said he didn't believe in coincidences either. He said he had recently left rehab, a couple months shy of completing the program. He needed/wanted to get back home to his family, which … [Read more...]
Open-Air Preaching: A Fight FOR Souls, Not a Fight WITH Men
Recently, while I was open-air preaching at the Jan Heidt Newhall Metrolink Station, a young man (pictured above) walked by--a young man I had previously seen. In my first encounter with the young man, he was very hostile and mildly threatening. One thing that struck me only after returning home, after that first encounter, was something the young man said. "You are not taking … [Read more...]
Harvey Just Wanted to Talk to Someone
As I preached the gospel at the Jan Heidt Newhall Metrolink Station, I noticed a man and a woman sitting on a bench a short distance from me. As I started to preach, the man turned and looked in my direction. A smile crossed his face. I don't remember it every leaving. About halfway through my sermon, the man got up from the bench and moved to a closer one. When I finished … [Read more...]
