Returning Home

Image
It was a crazy couple days. David Johnson went in for surgery to have his gull bladder removed. I was blessed to see and pray with him minutes before he went under. After that I went on a CrossWalk with Joseph Knight and upon returning commissioned him and Matthew as CrossBearers and left two crosses with them: When Matt and Joey dropped me off at the airport they prayed traveling mercies and favor over me. Unfortunately, my flight was sold out and there were no more seats open for me...EXCEPT first class, so they upgraded my ticket for free! Thank you Lord for favor :) Upon returning home I spent some long over due time with my wife and daughter. Yes, it's good to be home. I hope to post a final report of my time at Mardi Gras shortly. Thanks for reading, God bless you!

We put the cross on the street and I began to preach and we were immediately accosted. People came up and began to rail on us without even hearing a word that was spoken. We were the only cross on the street in sight. Folks who were sick of seeing crosses and Christians likely were happy at our absence and angered at our pre sence. They nearly overwhelmed us so I told Tobiah to put a prayer alert out. As soon as he did, everything calmed down. Know your prayers affect us on Bourbon street during Mardi Gras. That is powerful! Now for some highlights. A former pastor from Indiana, Tom Tekker, approached the cross with a beer in his hand. He asked me if I knew Troy Bohn of the Ravens and I told him I did. He said he had ministered with the Ravens 4 years ago at Mardi Gras. He told us he & his wife who

My body is exhausted but my spirit is soaring! My voice is strained but my heart is full.. Well, that's not all true. I guess it sounds nice, but the truth is. Mardi Gras Ministry is TOUGH. Yes, I'm exhausted and my voice is strained, but as I sit and reflect, I realize that my heart and spirit are exhausted and strained too. Man, my heart BREAKS for the souls on Bourbon Street. Last night a young woman told an elderly, handicapped lady on our evangelistic team (named Donna) that, "satan is lord." When Donna replied that "satan is a loser, but Jesus is Lord," the woman began hitting her. The guys in the group separated them but not before Donna's lip was split. Blood from her lip dripped on the tract that she was holding...on the picture of the cross. These two things break my heart the most out here: Women who don't realize how precious and valuable they are in God's eyes. Catholics who think they can sin as much as they want and then
