PA Route 100 South "Jesus is my Boss"

-
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 how powerful the message was. He said that if I was from town (and he pointed North to Pottstown) he'd ask me to speak at his church sometime. I laughed and replied that I am from town! It started to rain but I kept truckin'. We must carry our cross rain or shine! I spoke and prayed with many other people and just had a blast serving Jesus. I told Yvelisse that a few people blessed us financially. She replied that she loves how Jesus is my boss... that I just work for Him. I thought it was funny because the Bible calls Jesus Lord... Back in bible times I think Lord was the equivalent of "boss."

Wow, what a great season in Pennsylvania.  We were able to buy and sell some kids clothes at the largest consignment sale in the US.  Then we celebrated Junior's second birthday amongst family and friends.  And now we're packing up to head to Louisiana. What a season of favor, as we were added to the missionary board at Coventry Church of the bretheren.  We were also listed as Westmont Christian Academy's "missionaries of the month" and featured on Real Men Connect's weekly podcast. Totally humbled at how unqualified we are for this mission trip, and how our God still chooses to use us! Hallelujah!

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
