Woodstock, CT

I was in Woodstock, CT yesterday presenting the MAD Live Event to the folks at the Woodstock Evangelical Covenant Church. 45 people attended and we praise the Lord for 3 new souls added to the Kingdom.

Prayer Request for tomorrow morning

The MAD Live Event was a recommended to the President of Pillar College in NJ (by the Outreach Pastor at Zarephath Bible Church). The President had a full schedule so I am meeting with the Executive VP of Strategic Alliances tomorrow morning in Newark to discuss the possibility of being able to share my training with the students at both campuses. THIS WOULD BE INCREDIBLE EXPOSURE as these students go to different churches. Please pray for God to use this meeting to convince the powers that be to allow me to come in and teach a session. Thanks!

God at work in Williamsport, PA

Yesterday I was returning from speaking at Lamoka Baptist Camp’s “Teen No Retreat” and stopped for dinner in Williamsport. This is a regular place for us to stop and have dinner when we are traveling through the area, so I know the manager and many of the waitresses by name. Over the years, I have shared the Gospel with many of the ladies and left them Gospel literature and a great tip. Yesterday I had a waitress I had never seen before. Her name was Lisa. I asked if she was new and she said she had been working some day shifts there as the hostess, for the past year and tended bar at night some place else. The management asked her if she’d consider being a server and she agreed to do it every other Saturday. Yesterday was her first day in this position.

As I finished dinner and was waiting for the check, another waitress whom we have known since 1989 saw me and came over to the table to say “hi” and catch up. Her name is Rhonda. She was so excited and asked me if I remembered giving another waitress named Marcy a “One Second After You Die” booklet some time ago. I said I did remember and at that time I also got a chance to share the Gospel with the manager, Fred, and gave him the same booklet. Rhonda told me that Marcy read the booklet and God was working in her heart. She knew that Rhonda was a believer and was asking her all kinds of spiritual questions. Rhonda said that, “Marcy is really seeking God.” She added that Marcy has come to church with Rhonda for the past three weeks! PTL! I also found out that Rhonda’s father is a Baptist Minister. Why that didn’t come up in conversation over the years I don’t know, but I gave her my card and asked her to speak with her Dad about what I do and to check out my website. She agreed. Lord willing, I’ll be sharing the MAD Live Event in that church at some point. Please pray for Marcy’s conversion.

Teen No Retreat at Lamoka Baptist Camp

I had the privilege of being invited to be the speaker at this weekend's "Teen No Retreat" at Lamoka Baptist Camp. There were between 160 and 170 people there. I shared a message and Gospel presentation Friday night and a challenging message today. A number of teens spoke with me in between sessions regarding their relationship with the Lord, and asking questions about how to live for Christ. PTL!

Divine appointment at the gas pump

I was at the gas pump this morning and a man on the other side of the pump watched me pull up on the Indian. As I was filling my tank, he started a conversation about the bike, engines, and the negative effects of ethanol on engines. We ended up in a spiritual discussion and I got to share Christ with Dick.

Divine appointment at the soccer game

This evening I officiated a high school boys varsity soccer scrimmage. When we met the coach of the visiting team before the game, he mentioned that his wife was having brain surgery for cancer. The Holy Spirit worked on me during the game and impressed on me to pray with him for his wife. So after the game and the handshakes, I told him that God was telling me to pray for his wife. He got very excited and said they could use all the prayers they could get. I asked what her name was, laid my hand on his shoulder, and prayed for the Lord to heal Judy, or to use the doctors to heal her. I prayed for wisdom, skill, and guidance for the doctor, and for peace and quick healing for Judy, her husband and the family. He thanked me over and over again and we talked some more. Please keep Judy in your prayers as the Lord brings this story to mind. Thanks.
