CrossWalk Chronicles: Issue 024

Blessings to you and yours!!

During the month of January, CrossWalk Ministry took the message of the Cross through a dozen states: Florida, Georgia, Tennessee, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Arizona, Nevada, and California. By the grace of God, we fed and clothed the homeless, prayed with the sick and hurting, and met many needs for those in difficult times. In Arkansas, we helped Darry fix a flat tire as we discussed the Gospel; at the Kansas line, Matthew wept as we spoke about the love of Jesus; and in Colorado, D'angelo gave his heart to the Lord. Praise God for the good works He has prepared in advance for us to do!
God’s creation never ceases to amaze me. I have enjoyed the sunrise in the Florida Keys and the setting of the same in California. I have seen the great plains and the peaks of the Rocky Mountains extend through the clouds. I carried the cross through snow and also desert sands. I’ve made amazing new friends and caught up with war buddies of old. I stood where Dr. King preached his “I’ve been to the mountaintop” sermon on the eve of his assassination. I’ve been blessed to speak at churches and pray quietly with a widow. I was mocked on the Las Vegas Strip but praise God, we know that we are victorious through Christ who gives us strength!
I could write a book about the experience already, but I’ve heard it said that a picture is worth a thousand words:

Please be in prayer with us for souls to be won and that the Holy Spirit continues to draw people to the cross. This week I’m off the road because my car is in the shop. Please pray with us for God's provision and protection, in Jesus' name!

Blessings to you and yours!     In February, by God’s grace, we carried the cross in eight states. I started the month at my brother’s house in California. If you’ve been following, you already kno w that my Lil’ Red Prius died after arriving on the West Coast. But praise God, I was able to purchase another vehicle at half it’s Blue Book value! I loaded up my Dodge Avenger and drove over the mountain to my friend, Jason’s, place. After an awesome time of fellowship, he asked to be baptized. Shortly after baptizing Jason, my sister-in-law checked in with me to see how my journey was going. I shared with her the praise report, that I had just baptized Jason. She responded, “I wish I knew you did that. I was baptized as an infant and would like to do it again as an adult.” So I went back over the mountain to baptize her. On my way there, she discussed it with my brother and he decided that he would like to be baptized as well! We did a short video series on baptism and my n

A New Season; the Same Mission I’m writing this from the Florida Keys. Yesterday I drove four hours to reach mile marker zero, the beginning of US Highway 1. After the Lord opened a parking space for me, I off-loaded the first cross and immediately a young man named Adam approached me and asked about it. I explained that I carry the cross to open conversations about God, witnessing to unbelievers and encouraging fellow Christians. He told me that he believed in “a god” but not necessarily Jesus. He allowed me to pray with him and we had a really positive conversation.  Adam told me about the “conch drop” similar to the “ball drop” in New York. I was really excited about it. The crowd was huge, streets were blocked off, and police were mounted on horseback. It reminded me of doing ministry on Bourbon Street during Mardi Gras. We parted ways and I carried the cross to mile marker zero, where I felt led to plant it. I immediately found a spot by a large tree and was surprised at
