I’ve been having quite a few people ask me how to witness or people have been wanting to more about witnessing. I said in a few blogs back that I would post here how to share your faith. So here it is in video form, witnessing made easy! All of these videos are from Way of the Master which is Kirk Cameron of “Growing Pains” fame and Christian author & evangelist Ray Comfort.
The first video is titled “Hell’s Best Kept Secret.” I would just simply call it “Witnessing 101!” This video really breaks down witnessing and tells you how Jesus would witness.
Next, here is Todd Friel from Wretched showing in two parts how to witness. This is so simple it will blow you away!
Part 1
Part 2
After you’ve viewed all of the above Check out this video series with Paul Washer with Todd Friel at the Deeper Conference. This is more motivational then anything. It’s also an awesome job of street preaching!
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3
When you get done with the above I'd recommend going to Way of the Master's Channel on YouTube & just start watching all of the videos as you have time. Be forewarned these videos will draw you in and help drive you to share your faith!!!
Be Blessed

End Of Times
The other day as I was praying about the Haiti earthquake the Lord took me back to Matthew 24:3-14. Here’s what the Lord showed me.
3 Later, Jesus sat on the Mount of Olives. His disciples came to him privately and said, “Tell us, when will all this happen? What sign will signal your return and the end of the world?”
4 Jesus told them, “Don’t let anyone mislead you, 5 for many will come in my name, claiming, ‘I am the Messiah.’ They will deceive many. In the past 30 years how many false prophets have we heard off? Too many to count if you count them all!
6 And you will hear of wars and threats of wars, but don’t panic. Yes, these things must take place, but the end won’t follow immediately. The world has been at war for most all of the 20th century and this century is starting out even worse.
7 Nation will go to war against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be famines and earthquakes in many parts of the world. Like I said, war all over the world. As far as famines and earthquakes in the African continent people have been starving to death there for years. Now it’s starting to spread to other parts of the world. We even have starving here in the United States!
8 But all this is only the first of the birth pains, with more to come. Not much fun to hear but we know that this brings us closer every day to the Lord’s return!
9 “Then you will be arrested, persecuted, and killed. You will be hated all over the world because you are my followers. According to “Voice of the Martyrs” there have been more people put to death in the 20th century then in all of history for being a Christian and this century is starting out even more brutal with the rampant spread of Islam.
10 And many will turn away from me and betray and hate each other. I see this even in people I know! I sometimes really see it when I’m on the streets witnessing! You would be amazed at the extent some people will go even right here in our own country to vilify Christianity!
11 And many false prophets will appear and will deceive many people. Just like I said about verses 4 & 5, you can hardly go a week without hearing about false prophets trying to lead people away. It’s even happening here in our churches. When you have Unitarian churches and other churches teaching that Jesus is not the only way to Heaven rather a way to Heaven many will most definitely be deceived!
12 Sin will be rampant everywhere, and the love of many will grow cold. Sin is sin and our country is leading purveyor of it! Just look at the rise of homosexuality in our country. Just look at the pornography business in this country. We lead the world in exportation of both homosexuality and pornography but yet many churches turn a blind eye to it.
13 But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Praise God for that!
14 And the Good News about the Kingdom will be preached throughout the whole world, so that all nations will hear it; and then the end will come. You had better get ready for the end to come at any time now! For the first time in the history of the world the Good News of Jesus Christ is being preached to every tribe, tongue, & nation in this world. Up until just a few short years ago this was not possible. Right now the Bible is either being or has been translated into every known language in the world. The Good News is also being spread by both the internet and satellite television which is now also going into every nation in the world!
After reading the above verses and going over what the Lord showed me I’m both scared and apprehensive. I’m scared because I know I’ve missed sharing the Gospel with people that the Lord sent my way and I know I should have done a far better job sharing with them. On the other hand, I’m more then a little apprehensive, or even excited if you will know now that the Lord’s return is imminent and it won’t be long and I’ll be out of here!!!
Be Blessed!!!

Check out our van! It really causes people to look & even more then a few stop and ask for "Free Money!"
This is one reason why I use million dollar bill gospel tracts. The van is a real attention getter! I have people chase me down & stop me to ask for the "free money!" In fact last night I had a guy holler at me in the grocery store paking lot & he said "Hey, your the guy with the free million dollar bills aren't you?" He said he had seen me earlier in the day and he was wanting another free million dollar bill so he could pass one on to one of his friends.
Lately I've been seeing more and more people come back up to me after they've got a million dollar bill of their own want another one or two to give to a freind, their kid, or someone else they think could use one.
I guess as long as I'm having the success with the million dollar bill that I'm having I'll keep using it.

Romans 3:23 - 27
I was on YouTube this evening surfing around and listening to different Paul Washer sermons. I ran across one that just blew me away. It’s 10 minutes long if you want to watch it here it is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuEc-zrs5wA.
In this video Paul Washer says “When most people read the following passage they only remember Romans 3:23.” Paul Washer goes on the say “This is quite possibly the most important passage in the entire Bible.” Paul washer also quotes Dr. Marin Lloyd Jones saying that Romans 3:23 is the acropolis of the Christian faith.
Please use this as a faith builder. Read the following passage and take it to heart.
Romans 3:23 – 27 NLT
23 For everyone has sinned; we all fall short of God’s glorious standard. 24 Yet God, with undeserved kindness, declares that we are righteous. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins. 25 For God presented Jesus as the sacrifice for sin. People are made right with God when they believe that Jesus sacrificed his life, shedding his blood. This sacrifice shows that God was being fair when he held back and did not punish those who sinned in times past, 26 for he was looking ahead and including them in what he would do in this present time. God did this to demonstrate his righteousness, for he himself is fair and just, and he declares sinners to be right in his sight when they believe in Jesus.
27 Can we boast, then, that we have done anything to be accepted by God? No, because our acquittal is not based on obeying the law. It is based on faith.
Be Blessed!

Who I Am & What I Do
I’ve been in Wichita since 1998. I grew up in Southwest Kansas in the little town of Ingalls. I also lived in Dodge City & Garden City for a few years. My family is mainly from West Central Oklahoma in the Cordell area. I graduated from Ingalls High School in 1981. I’ve also attended Dodge Juco & Cowley College. I learned to do evangelistic work at the church I attended in Garden City and also own my own by working with various pastors & others. I’ve also done some evangelistic studying via the internet going through Way of the Master teachings with Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron plus a few others.
I’ve been married to my wife Pam this time since 1999. We were married in 1992 and divorced in 1996 mainly due to my failure to be the husband and father that the Lord had called me to be. In 1998 we both were attending the same church and agreed to go to counseling if for no other then to have peace in the church. One thing led to another and the Lord reconciled our marriage on December 12, 1999. Now we have the Lord at the center of our marriage and we are married for life! We’ve been attending Word of Life here in Wichita for quite some time now. We’re firmly entrenched there now and really love it there especially with the support we get for both our family and my ministry.
We have six kids & three grandsons. The oldest is 23 and the youngest is six. We have three girls & three boys. Our 15 year old son is Autistic and is quite a handful. We’ve found that having a special needs child can be quite taxing at times.
As far as my ministry goes I go witnessing on the street, in Dillon’s, Wal-Mart’s and other places where I can pass out my gospel tracts. My website is www.ichthusunderground.com. Check it out when you get a second. We just posted a new video on the video page that is quite funny. It’s the bottom one. Make sure you check it out!
I believe the Lord has called me to witness to a different group of people then one would think about when you say street ministry. Usually when you say street ministry you think of the homeless. As far as my ministry goes that’s one group that I don’t focus on. I focus rather on the average Joe so to say. I go after the unchurched and the lost on every level right on up to the professional level educated person.
I believe the Lord showed me that there are literally millions and millions of people out there that are going to die and go to hell if someone doesn’t reach out to them. These people include your everyday person you meet from your Wal-Mart worker right on up to your doctors and attorneys. Someone needs to reach these people and I believe that I’m one of the ones called to go out and reach them.
I currently am using the way that is taught by Ray Comfort & Kirk Cameron of Living Waters www.livingwaters.com. It’s a simple and direct method that uses the 10 Commandments to show individuals why they need Jesus. Check it out sometime when you get a second. Basically what I do is hand someone a million dollar bill which is really a gospel tract. Most everyone will take one. After they take it and if they stop for a second to look at it I tell them “On the back it asks the million dollar question. When you die where are you going, Heaven or Hell?” If they say Heaven, I ask them why would God let them in. If they say anything other then they’re saved by Jesus as their Lord & Savior I go deeper with them leading them through a few of the 10 Commandments to show them their need for a Savior and hopefully & prayerfully lead them to Jesus!

Ministry Plans
Wow! It is getting cold outside! The weatherman is calling for a low of +2 degrees for the overnight low tonight here in Wichita! Brrr!!! Needless to say you won’t find me out witnessing on the streets when it gets like this! I much prefer Wal-mart, Dillon’s, the malls, and such!
I believe the Lord is giving me some leading in where he wants me to take the ministry he’s given me over the next year or so. First, I believe that the Lord is leading me to set a goal to pass out 10,000 of the million dollar bill Gospel tracts next year. That may seem like a lot but if I stay diligent and hit all of the big festivals and such here in Wichita I should be able to do it with not much problem.
Secondly, I feel that the Lord is leading me to put together a team to raise the money for 5000 Gospels of John and then distribute then to the different Junior & Senior Highs here around Wichita. This is going to cost us around $1500 but I believe that if indeed this is the will of the Lord the money to pay for them will come in.
That’s about it for now. I’ll try to write more short blogs instead of fewer longer ones in the future! Once again if you’ve got something you’d like to see me write about just drop me a line!
Be Blessed!!!

Every Second Seven People Die
Every second seven people die. That’s 420 people every minute. That’s 25,200 every hour. That’s 604,800 every day. How many of these people are dying and going to hell? Does it matter to you? Do you care enough to do anything about it?
Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ says that only two percent of all Christians share their faith on a regular basis, only two percent! Promise Keepers says that ninety percent of all men have never shared their faith! That doesn’t sound much like the New Testament church of Acts does it?
I know what Jesus saved me from. Looking at the Ten Commandments and knowing what Jesus taught I know that I broke every one of the Commandments. I was destined for hell! Before I could be saved though I had to know that I had broken the Commandments, I had to know that I was destined for Hell, and I had to know that Hell is a very real place! I realized Hell is no party place and that the flames, the punishment, and the eternal separation was real.
Hell to this very day and always will be the worst place you can imagine. In fact it took a revelation in a dream one night for me to realize just how real and how horrible Hell really is. Hell is a very dark place, the darkest place one will ever find, absolutely no light whatsoever! Psychologists say that one will go crazy in a matter of minutes in pure darkness. How about an eternity of darkness? Next come the flames and the stench of burning sulfur and flesh, your flesh, once again for all eternity! No, Hell is not a nice place.
I believe once Christians get a conception of what Hell really is it will shake them and help motivate to share their faith. Without a true conception of Hell why would anyone have a burning desire in their heart to reach the lost and dying? True, one may share out of their love for Jesus but when you realize how real Hell is it takes the urgency the need to share to another level!
