CrossWalk Ministry

I got onto Bourbon Street just before 9pm with 5 Bibles and 100+ tracts. As I started walking from one end of the busy section to the other I just began handing tracts out to people saying, "Here, let me leave this with you as a reminder that Jesus loves you." Most people shrugged the tract away but by the end of the night all of them were handed out! As I got to the end of Bourbon Street where it meets Canal, there were two tables with chess boards and apparently you could play one of the two men for $10 and if you win they would pay you $20. This brother, Byron, invited me to play a game but I explained what I was doing. Hearing my mission, he said, "well hey, play me for just $5 and you can witness to me while we play." Ha! Well, I agreed and played a short match while I shared my testimony and prayed for him. After leaving the chess area, I encountered a young couple and when I told them that Jesus loves them, they both stopped in their tracks and admi...

Blessings to you and yours!! ​What an incredible time of ministry in Mississippi! We arrived on April 3 rd and moved into our motor-home right away. As you'll notice, it has scripture written all over it! A quick testimony about that: Don and Sabrina (the previous owners), were told by a mechanic that it would never sell due to all of the "Jesus stuff" on it. But God. He had everything orchestrated for them to sell to another ministry family! ​ Don and Sabrina, (the founders of No Cross, No Crown Ministries) had just set up their tent to have nightly meetings in Picayune, Mississippi. This worked out well for us as Picayune is down South, and I had already carried the cross through the state in 2010, about 150 miles North of here. The tent meetings began and carried throughout the whole month of April, Thursday to Sunday each week. We helped Don set up and tear nightly; Evie sang a few songs of worship, and I was blessed to share messages on The Cross and ...

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!

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 ...

Reverend carries giant cross through Vermont

Oh yea, I forgot to post a description of our ministry trip... As you may know, my family just started a five-year ministry trip, traveling the 50 states in 50 months. We’re going to visit different cities and churches to share the Gospel through street ministry and carrying the cross. We’ve rented our house out back in Pennsylvania and just finished two months in Alabama at Cross Country Ministries' Faith, Evangelism, and Ministry Training Camp. Right now we're are in Maine and have begun street ministry in our 1st of the 50 states! We’re excited to get the word out and we would love for you to follow us! You can also journey with us on Facebook at: www.facebook.com/crosswalk2010 Please pray for God’s covering over my family as we travel and that souls are won for God’s glory! We also need prayer for maintenance of our motorhome, a healthy and easy pregnancy for Evie, and funds for fuel and lodging. If you’d like to help financially, you can give at: https://www.payp...

While CrossWalking Portland, Maine today a woman and her family stopped me to talk. She said, "OMG, I saw a guy carrying a cross in Naples, Maine (about an hour drive) yesterday, do you know him?" I told her it was me and in disbelief she said that's not possible. Her daughter had snapped a picture of "the crossbearer" the day before so they pulled it up and sure enough :) Meee, lol. She continued to tell me that her father passed about 2 yrs ago and she hadn't been to church since. With tears forming in her eyes, she said that our meeting couldn't be a coincidence and that she wanted to get right with God! There was also a man about my age that was carrying a box of alcohol to the boat club. He told me, "I know it looks bad that I'm carrying all this alcohol, but I'm actually a Christian." He told me that he questioned his salvation because of Matthew 7:21-23 "Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will ente...
