Greetings Beloved! Happy Thursday!
Just when we’re getting fully recovered from our epic Ft. Lauderdale Mission Trip, the Lord is sending us on another important mission this weekend- to South Beach Miami for Miami Pride.
We’ve ministered at this event the past two years, and it has actually been pretty fruitful. People down there have been warm to us, and many have received prayer and taken tracts. This year, I’m going with even more zeal because recently the Lord led me on a journey of research that allowed me to discover how the enemy used Miami to seed the nation with the homosexual agenda.
In 1977, the Dade County Commission passed an ordinance that prevented employers or landlords from rejecting homosexual applicants. In response, a group of Christians (led by a prominent gospel singer) led an effort to repeal the ordinance. What ensued, was a several month-long national media campaign that aroused MASSIVE nationwide support for the “gay rights” agenda. This then became the foundation for the entire LGBT rainbow flag movement that has sought to indoctrinate kids into the lifestyle itself.
This video shows this campaign (and the one which rose up to oppose it) in great detail.
It truly is remarkable how even for the enemy’s agenda, Florida is a forerunner state. Keep us lifted up as we go down there to shut those doors to hell!
Given that we will be gone for all 3 outreaches, we need all the help we can get here this weekend. If you can, PLEASE come and help the 941 team as they carry the torch in our absence.
This past weekend, the outreaches were incredibly fruitful. There were good crowds at all 3 locations and many people got touched by the Lord. I probably prayed with over 20 people to receive Jesus too, and I know others prayed with people to receive Him as well.
BIG thanks to all the mighty warriors who came out the serve this weekend- Amber, Gene, Karson, Thom, Meredith, Chuck, Debbie, Mike F, Mike V, Paul, Lexi, Kris, Mike M and Ken. So proud of you guys!
We also celebrated some special anniversaries this past weekend- 5 years at Bayfront Park and 7 years at Siesta!
It’s hard to believe that what started as two guys just sowing a little seed of a few songs and the gospel one time per week has turned into a movement of over 800 local and statewide outreaches, that has reached hundreds of thousands of people with gospel, activated well over 100 believers into bold witnessing for the King, and also spawned several other ministries just like ours.
Here’s a pic from the first night- Easter Saturday 2018.
It was interesting timing that on the first day of the 8th year of the ministry, I got invited to be on our brother Josh Eisbrenners podcast to talk about the journey. Josh runs a local ministry school, and he had me teach an evangelism class for his students back in February. He told me that during my teaching, the Lord told him that he was supposed to help get my message, story and ministry out to a larger audience.
In the interview, we covered the ministry journey, the backstory behind the Ft. Lauderdale mission trip, and how God has caught our team up into the bigger story that He is writing over America, particularly Gen Z. Check it out below:
Josh told me that the Lord also told him to allow our team to have full and free access to his recording studio and equipment so we can produce discipleship resources and any other content that will help advance the ministry. I’m super excited about that! Please keep me in prayer as I navigate this new chapter.
Also, from the bottom of my heart I want to say THANK YOU for being part of this work to reach the lost of our region. I know it means so much to the Lord that you are willing to help Him bring in His harvest, and it means so much to me too.
Let’s keep this Jesus Fire burning until He returns! Love you!
