CrossWalk Ministry

Caleb and I had an awesome time CrossWalking in the Bronx today. Most people just walked by us with their heads to the ground or were too distracted by their phones or music to talk. *Don't be so distracted by the world that you miss Jesus. The people we did talk with were a blessing. For most of the day Caleb would walk on one side of the road while I walked on the other. This allows the more people to see the crosses. I spoke with 4 sisters who could have listened to me talk about Jesus all day but their bus arrived. Another street preacher and I spoke and were blessed to encourage one another. A man named Nixon stopped us to ask about the crosses. He was with two of his friends and said that he knew where we were coming from because he was born again. *Seek the second birth. Nixon told us it was hard to stay on The Path because his friends weren't born again...but he's been planting seeds. We spoke for a good while and prayed with him and his friends before leaving. W

We're parked in New Jersey right now. Yvelisse, Yvonne, Caleb and I are in the RV. We've been walking in New York City but need a time of rest right now. It's been a great time in the city!

Tonight was session two of eight for premarital counseling. Please pray that God's hand would be over this young couple and that He would give Yvelisse and I the words for them.

I'll have to write more later, but had an awesome time of ministry in Reading with Caleb Ballinger.

We just received a CD in the mail with pictures from last month's visit to Tri-County Bible Church. Here's one pic, the rest can be found in our PhotoAlbum .

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

Today Caleb, Trevor, and I walked down High Street and into Pottstown with our crosses. We built them this morning in preparation for sharing the gospel in Washington DC tomorrow. We had an awesome time of ministry today and have great expectations for DC!! Also, Evie and Trevor may provide live worship music while in DC. We're excited!

Caleb Ballinger has joined the team and desires to carry his (physical) cross for Christ. We just went to the mall today and bought the shoes he'll be walking in. I can feel a stirring...I believe something big is about to happen...

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.

Right now I can't sleep because all I can think about is what's going on in the world as I lie comfortably in my bed. The parents of missing children, kids who have been sold into sex trafficking, the uproar in the middle east, the peace and protection of Israel, and of course my generation..... AHH! There's so much more.... Is anybody else alarmed? Or concerned? Or anguished? Does it hurt your heart to see little girls walking around half naked and it be accepted as normal? Or the news of another rape vicim? I Need to do something; I can't stay within the confines of my house any longer! The reality of hell has gripped me... Maybe not the full realty of hell after death. But the hell people are living in, here on Earth. It was only just a couple of months ago that I would watch the news and shake my head thinking, “What a lost cause. America..... She's so filthy, and hopeless. I hope she gets what she deserves!” I'd sit there passively accepting

We're at the starting gate and ready to move into a more "full-time" ministry with the cross but our RV has a few technical issues that need to be worked out. The levelers are not powering up and the refrigerator has been finicky (I don't know if I've ever used the word "finicky" before). Therefor, today we dropped the motor-home off in Honeybrook, PA to be serviced. Should be done by the end of the week!

Yesterday I CrossWalked from home through Coventry and into Pughtown, PA. Kyle Smith began the walk with me but it was a bit intimidating walking on the highway so he decided to leave me when we got to the Coventry Mall. The first person that I spoke with was very sarcastic about the cross. I ended up telling him that if he just lets down his guard and opens his heart Jesus will speak to him. The man cursed Jesus and sped off. I pray the Lord ministers to that man's heart even now. I think he was wounded by the church and hasn't dealt with that. It's funny... all Christians are hypocrites. We desire to do good but we do bad because none of us are perfect. Well, when people look at a Christian to see Christ it's easy to be let down. We'll still do our best to reflect God but my prayer is that people see Jesus, not me. The rest of the walk was great. I met a man named Steven and we got to pray over his marriage. Then a minister named Nathaniel stopped and expressed
