Update

Wow! What an exciting month that June has been! New commitments for Christ, the lost hearing the Good News of Jesus Christ, and well over 500 of the million dollar bill gospel tracts passed out! I’m really excited as I expect July and August to be even better!

Here’s something exciting that I feel the Lord has laid on my heart. Ever since I was saved in 1988 I’ve had the goal of leading at least one person to Christ every year. It’s just something that I feel the Lord really wanted me to do. Well this week I feel that the Lord is turning up the heat quite a bit as I feel he wants me to lead at least one person a week to Christ! Wow! What a challenge and call!

I know that I can’t do this on my own. I’ll really need to be tuned into the Holy Spirit very closely to do this! In addition I need your help. Please pray for me to first be led by the Holy Spirit and secondly please pray for “divine appointments” so that the Lord brings people into my life or across my path that are open to hearing the Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ!


The weather has to say the least been very conducive to witnessing! We had some highs close to one hundred degrees but most of the month was in the upper eighties to the low nineties which made witnessing in the evenings very comfortable weather wise!

This past month here in Wichita I’ve been going to Old Town on at least every Friday and Saturday evening and sometimes I would even hit Old Town during the week if there was a crowd as there was last night with people all over waiting for the midnight opening of the Twilight saga. I addition I’ve been trying to hit the Keeper of the Plains three to four nights a week.

One of the more fun things that I did this past month and I plan on doing the rest of the summer is taking the kids, George our seven year old in particular, to the various free water parks we are blessed with here in Wichita. There are three main water parks that we hit. What we do while we are there is for George and the other kids to run and have fun and I walk around and pass out million dollar bill Gospel tracts and witness to the parents that are there with there kids. I kind of makes for a captive audience which is rather nice!

July is shaping up to be a very busy month witnessing too! This coming weekend, July first through the fourth, Wichita is hosting a national convention here in town. The GTO Owners Association of America rolls into our fair city. We’re going to be invaded by a couple of hundred or so Pontiac GTO’s, plus their owners & car buffs in general. I look for this to be an awesome ministry opportunity!

In addition Automobilia's 16th Moonlight Car Show & Street Party invades Old Town Saturday, July tenth from 6:00 p.m. to midnight. This car show is free and open to the public and usually draws at least a couple hundred street cars plus well over ten thousand spectators! This one we will be out in full force for! We are also planning on filming and doing interviews at this car show.

Speaking of filming and doing interviews we finally got all of our equipment set up and running last Thursday. We set up to film at the Keeper of the Plains to see how things would go. I had Kevin running the camera and I did the interviewing. What we did was I would tell people that we were working on a documentary and would they mind if I interviewed them and asked them a few questions. In other words I thought that I’d be Ray Comfort from Way of the Master!

The first question I asked was what do you think happens when your life on earth is over, when people pass to the other side? We found that this was a great question to ask and it really got most people to really open up! We only had one guy walk away from our filming and we even had one young man admit he was going to Hell and he said he would go to his youth pastor and tell him he needed Jesus and he needed to be saved!

The only problem we encountered in our filming is that when we played back our filming we had no audio! We hope to have this problem solved shortly so we can get back to filming as it is such an awesome way to get people to open up! In addition I mentioned above that I was telling people that we are shooting a documentary. What we hope to do is shoot throughout the summer and then edit things down and put out a DVD for training and educational purposes.

To change the subject here a little bit people have been asking me how my health has been doing. In addition I guess I ought to give an update on my Bi-Polar Disorder and my ADHD since this is what part of this blog is about.

In case you didn’t know I’ve got Chronic Respiratory Failure which means my lungs aren’t working right. In addition I still have my diabetes. I’m still having trouble with my breathing and things haven’t really gotten any better or any worse for about a year and a half now. The good news is it appears I have my diabetes under control and I’m not taking insulin shots, just pills only (Yea God!).

Back to my mental health issues. My Bi-Polar seems to be fairly well under control. The doctor the other day made a small change in my meds to help me loose weight and I hope it helps! As far as my ADHD (adult attention hyperactivity disorder) I’m really not taking anything for it. I’ve tried ADHD meds in the past and they just messed with me way to much so right now I’m just resigned to having fun with my ADHD! My wife and kids are very understanding of my ADHD and my wife and kids know they just need to remind Dad every once in while that he is forgetting something or he needs to go do something!

Oh well, that’s it for now. I know this blog went a little long but thanks for reading it. In addition I know that many of my readers are also praying for both me and my ministry. If that’s you, a great big THANK YOU goes out to you!

Until next time…

Be Blessed!!!

I’m gearing up for a big weekend here in Wichita and I really need your prayers! Here’s my street witnessing itinerary for this weekend as it stands now. First, Friday evening I’ll be at the Plaza West Car Show at Central & West here in Wichita until from about 7:00 - 8:30. At 8:30 I head to the Keeper of the Plains for a little bit and then Lord willing I will finish off in Old Town.

Saturday evening I start at the Rumble in Delano (

Like I said I’ve got a busy two evenings planned and could really use your prayers!

Thanks in advance for your prayers & thoughts!
