So proud of this disciple! I saw this video the day after Christmas. May it inspire us all to carry our cross (not necessarily a wooden one) and share God's love!!
Yesterday I went to the funeral of an amazing 92 year old Christian woman named Viola Boyer. Her life was such a testimony of God's love and it was a tremendous blessing to hear the stories of how she "carried her cross" daily. I saw a friend there and enjoyed hearing her share about how Viola was a Sunday school teacher and invited her and her brother to church a long time ago. Today her and her brother are both Sunday school teachers. Viola has left a lasting legacy Yesterday was also the first time that Evie, Yvonne, and I walked with the cross as a family. We were blessed to pray and minister with many people. A young man named Bryan gave his heart to the Lord and we were privileged to lead him in a prayer of salvation. It was a beautiful day and we are so excited about the calling that the Lord has given us. Also, we just ordered a shofar from TheTallitMan in preparation for our trip to Washington DC for September 11th.
Wow, I have really fallen behind with updates to this blog. Many apologies. In July, we began our 50 states mission trip in Maine. We camped in Naples and then spent a few weeks in Bangor when Pastor Bobby Bledsoe of City Reach offered to host us at his church. What an awesome, amazing time of ministry. Thousands saw the cross as I ministered outside of a Toby Keith concert and a handful gave their heart to the Lord as I ministered around Bangor inner city. In August we moved into New Hampshire and Pastor Ron Bodendorf, of Derry, (a fellow cross bearer) offered to host us for a couple weeks. Ministry in Manchester, Nashua, and surrounding towns was anointed! After two weeks with Ron and Sue, 1st Assembly in Auburn opened their doors to us. They also opened their pantry...and what perfect timing because we had just run out of food and funds! Then in September we moved into Vermont where another cross bearer hosted us! The power couple of Liz and Larry Messier met us in Montpelier ...
During my walk across America I met a fellow cross bearer named Lance Rowe. Connecting with him has also helped me connect with other cross bearers as well. We've created a group on Facebook to enable us to pray for and encourage one another. A few weeks ago, the group brought to my attention that the Islamic community was planing a "Million Muslim March" on September 11th, 2013. In response to this protest (and to honor those who lost their lives on 9/11), American bikers began planning a "Two Million Biker" rally. They were denied their permit to protest in the Capital but rode around DC nevertheless. Our group of cross bearers felt led to intercede over the day so we began an event titled "One Hundred Crosses" with the intention to pray for every Muslim, Biker, and fellow man in DC today. Trevor, Caleb, and I built crosses yesterday for this event and then this morning we left for Washington with my wife, Yvelisse, and daughter, Yvonne. We arrived...
