Meeting in Oklahoma

Yesterday we were in Ponca City, OK at a wonderful church. We had a great time sharing our burden for the Mexican people. Also enjoyed all of the great fellowship and food afterwards. Tomorrow Kevin and I head back on the road towards Florida for a full month of meetings. Please pray for safety as we travel and for health. It is hard on our bodies to go from a colder area to warmer area.

Picture Album

This is Crystal playing the girl in the drama that dies in the hospital.

The house fire scene where the brother and sister are pulled out of house. Girl saved and goes to Heaven, brother not saved and goes to Hell.

This the scariest scene. It smells like hair burning, lots of screams, dark, and very hot. This is the Hell scene.

Party scene that the brother of the drama threw and during the party house catches on fire. Kevin's brother Kenton played the boy. (disclaimer no real alcohol was used in scene just empty containers) This scene hit home to alot of youth that came through.

Report on Judgement House

Before each evening our church had praise & worship and prayer. It was a great time to thank God for using us and asking Him to work in hearts of those going through the drama.

This is what the gym looked like each night. Youth groups, couples, families, churches, and others from all over came with unsaved to go through Judgement House. Over 450 got saved!!! About the same for rededication or needing help in other ways!!! Many more emails of decisions still coming through the church. Heaven is going to be even more crowded! Praise the Lord for working in the hearts of these people.

Heavenly thoughts

Judgement House is now over but the scene that keeps in my head is this one. I will always remember when God (the actor) came up to me and said "I love you, thank you for serving me" and gave me a hug. I cry everytime I think of it. One day I will be in my Father's arms and I want Him to be able to say that to me. Think about it today...What are you doing for Him?

More Judgment House!

As I said prior Judgment House has been going on at our church last weekend and will begin again tonight for this weekend. We are still feeling the effects from the hard work and long hours, but the eternal rewards continue to pour in as we heard last night that over 200 people have already accepted Christ as their Savior.

We received this letter last Friday night regarding a teenager and his decision to accept Christ. I wanted to share this with you all since it is so dramatic and shows how Christ deals with these people through Judgment House.
This letter was written by a youth worker who brought a group of teens from their church to Judgment House for the first time.

"My what a production on love...We had about 12 go through with many of them not knowing Christ. I was a little disappointed that one 1 went for counseling afterwards even though you could tell they were wanting to make a decision. We came back to a church members home for a pizza party and after we ate one of the girls asked, "is that we saw really true and we all will stand before the Judge to see if our name is written down in that book?"
Our leader had a chance to share the gospel again and 4 of those kids accepted Christ in that living room with the others watching. Four hours later my wife and I were driving 3 of the boys home, and one of these boys, Bobby, asked if going to heaven could really be that easy. (This boy is one rough dude! Been in jail a couple of times and has beaten up his mother twice!) he went on by saying, "Can God really forgive all the sins that you have committed?" Right then I stopped in the McDonald's parking lot in downtown Wichita and got the track that he was given when we were leaving and went over God's plan of salvation. After 10 minutes of very hard questioning and wondering if God could ever forgive a person like himself, Bobby and his two brother accepted God's free give of salvation!
When we got to Bobby's house he asked if my wife and I would come in and meet his mother. We agreed and went in. Bobby went right to his mother, got on his knees, and said, "Mom will you forgive me for hitting you and causing you pain?" His mother looked at him like he was from mars! She said, "Have you been drinking again? What's wrong with you?" Bobby replied, "Nothing. God has forgiven me of all my sins and I know I am going to heaven when I die, and mom I want you to be there with my and my brothers. Will you let this man tell you how God can forgive you and you can know for sure that when you die you will go to heaven?" We stayed in that house and shared the gospel with that mother. At 11:23 with her boys wrapped around her she became a child of God!
What an awesome experience!!!!!!
Tell your church, tell your pastor, tell your actors and cast THANK YOU FOR DOING JUDGMENT HOUSE! It was totally transformed a family and has brought them home where there was darkness."


What an amazing story! This is what God's power can do with people.
We thank God for Judgment House and what God has done through it, and what He is still going to do. I am praying that God will issue His most Mega-Abundant Blessing this weekend.

Thanks all for your faithful prayers for us!

Judgment House!

The Lord gave us these last two weeks where we had no meetings to be a part of the annual Judgment House project at our home church Messiah Baptist. For seven years now Messiah has been putting on Judgment House and has seen literally thousands of people come to Christ. If you would like more information on Judgment House, what it is, and how your church could get involved with it please visit www.judgementhouse.org
I wanted to be able to let you know personally what it has done in our lives in just the 4 days we have been involved with it. Crystal and I have been able to counsel many people in their decisions to follow Christ as their Savior, and it has changed us as well. With this Judgment House project, many teens, children and adults come from the invitation room ready to harvest from the fields of the lost. Our church staff and the many volunteers that are involved do a wonderful job of bathing this ministry in prayer and petitioning God to do the work and not we ourselves. These people come and are ready to get saved.
In the last 4 days, the Lord has used me to win 8 young men to Him, and to help 3 others in their Christian walk with the Lord! I can not tell you the gratification it is for me to hear a young man speak to God for the first time in their lives and ask Him to be their Savior. I listen to one boy pray and he said with all sincerity, "Lord, I believe in you!" It broke my heart.
I have more stories that I will add later, especially one specific about a teenager who was very violent towards his mother, and how the Lord changed his life forever!

Be in prayer for this ministry. Messiah puts on this program each year for two weekends. This next weekend will be more dramatic and have more people going through. Pray that the Lord will reap a great harvest through this years project. Also pray that the staff at Messiah will be able to follow up to so many new believers.

Sunrise Christian Academy

Crystal and I had the opportunity to visit this great class at Sunrise Christian Academy this week. We were able to show them our DVD, our display, and answer many of their questions and boy they had some good questions, they always do! We also gave them some Horchata, a popular Mexican drink. Some really enjoyed it, and some really didn't.
This group of 20 children had been saving their pennies for when we came, and they gave us a huge bag of pennies. There is no better time to learn the importance of giving than at a young tender age as this.
Thank you kids for being so good, and having so many good questions!

What are we up to now...

As of right now we are resting to prepare for a busy November. God has given us two weeks off here in Wichita, KS. We are excited to be in our home church for a little while and visit with individual supporters. Please pray for our church these next two weeks. Each year we do what is called "Judgement House" where tousands of people go through a live drama experiencing the lives and deaths of three individuals. One goes to Heaven and the others go to Hell. Each year we see hundreds come to the Lord. This is a great opportunity to share Christ and see how God works. Pray for all those involved and the many who will be going through the drama. We will post some pictures in the next few weeks and let you know how God worked. Kevin and I are thankful to be able to be involved and have time to recharge.

Meeting in Kansas

This past weekend we went to a little town in Kasas for a mini conference. We were excited to find out that our team members; the Baird family were going to be attending as well. It was great to see them again and minister together in this conference.

Branson, MO

God is such an awesome God! We have had our ups and downs these last few months but He has been so faithful to us. It is great to just sit and remember how our needs have been provided and the lessons we have learned over the year.

An example of how we have seen God provide for our supporters...this building is in MO and last year at this time we had church in a 100 year old school house with an out house. Look at how God has provided. The pastor and members built this building. The church is growing and we enjoyed visiting them and seeing their new building.

Mission Conference in New Mexico

Here are some pictures of our meeting...

Pastor Sarracino and his wonderful family.

The church celebrated 13 years and had a feast after Sunday service.

Crystal gave her testimony and sang during the conference. She was more excited to be involved in the nursing home ministry there.

Remembering the Past

I had never been to New Mexico so I was very excited God gave us a meeting there. Kevin gave me the grand tour of where he use to live. Five houses in the middle of no where.


The beginning of October Kevin and I traveled to a mission conference in New Mexico. Kevin lived there when he was younger and we had the opportunity to visit a family who Kevin knew. He had not seen his child hood friend for about fourteen years. Here is a picture of them together. No more braces, big glasses and look Danny is now taller then Kevin.
