Invisible People.

We are blessed to have ‘birthed’ two new WOTM Basic classes by raising up two teams of new teachers. Classes are going well and yesterday we accompanied both classes to the Space Coast State Fair.

After a couple of hours of some good encounters, I saw a girl in a booth that sold cold drinks. No one was there so I thought I could get in a quick conversation about eternal things. Crista was her name and she was friendly enough. She thought she was a good person and told me that every Sunday when they broke the fair down she would stay in the town and find a church to go to.

“Great, so you go to church. Where will you go when you die?”

She smiled and said, “Heaven, I hope.”

As soon as I began to take her through the Law tons of people showed up. (naturally) In between people I would pop my head in and ask her another question and she mentally stayed right with me. When there was a break I told her about Jesus. When I introduced Him to her I told her that He knew her even before she was formed. He knew exactly how many hairs there were on her head…and He even kept every tear she had ever cried in a bottle. Her face turned red and tears began to stream down her cheeks. I asked her if she knew that and she shook her head, no. I told her it was written in Psalms and Luke and then I asked her if she had heard of Jesus. She said, ‘yes’. I informed her that the demons believed and trembled and she again became troubled. We talked about repentance and faith in Jesus Christ.

After giving her a Good Person booklet I asked her if this was something she was interested in doing and she said, “Yes.”

I said, “Since you aren’t promised your next breath when will you be taking care of this?”

She picked up the booklet and said, “Right now!”

As I walked away from Crista I prayed for her that the Lord would protect her heart and grow this seed. I came back by a couple minutes later and I could see her hunched over the little booklet, reading intently.



One of the ‘carnies’ told Dennis that he felt that many people treated them badly. He said that people acted as though they were ‘second class’. I admit that some of them are a bit ‘rough around the edges’ but I also know that they are VERY precious to the Lord. They rate right up there alongside the heads of state or a sports superstar to Him. 1 Corinthians 6:9-11 Do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor abusers, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God...


And such were some of you. But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.

Priestly Advice

A few weeks ago we went fishing at a local carnival hosted by a large local church. I saw Jim at the “throw something into a dish and win a fish” stand. We spoke a short time and I could see he was searching. I took him through the Law, compared it to a civil court and could see he was concerned when he admitted he would be guilty. He was more concerned when he figured out he would spend eternity in Hell. However, he said he would think about it so I left him a GP booklet and the Gospel of John.

Shortly after this happened, the priest came out and asked us to leave. As he was telling Diana that we needed to stop witnessing, I snapped this picture. He said that preaching Law, Grace, Sin, Hell and Salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ is not something they wanted preached at this church because it was not in compliance with their ‘Sola Scriptura’ doctrine. He even used the scripture James 3:15 "This is not the wisdom coming down from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish".

This did not put a damper on things...we just went across the street to the beach to fish. It also did not stop the Word which had already penetrated Jim's heart....

UPDATE: This weekend we were fishing at the Florida Fairgrounds in Cocoa and discovered the same “carnie” folks were there. I saw Jim and asked if he remembered our talk and how things were going. He told me, “Just great and getting better” and he smiled. Jim said after we had our first conversation a couple of weeks ago, he left that carnival with a buddy, and saw a church on the way home. They stopped and Jim said he turned his life over to Jesus Christ. AMEN!

Carnival Time at Local Church=Great fishing

We heard that there was to be a carnival in town at a local church so we decided to drop in! After we prayed, we went in, in teams of two. My team mate must have had a different appointment, because at the gate to the carnival he kept going towards the church. We exchanged glances and then parted as I kept walked into the carnival and he towards the church. As I entered the carnival midway, I noticed there were not very many customers or spectators. It was pretty empty except for a few visitors and the carnival workers who were standing around talking with each other. More people came as we were witnessing. Since this was the first outreach for some of the new WOTM students, I thought I would wait for them so I walked the midway to check it out.

I then saw two teams of two, both of them witnessing. On one team, Mary was talking to the guys operating the Super Slide. They were very interested in what Mary was saying to them so I took their picture.

As I turned to my right, Trish’s group was still engaged in a conversation. They were talking to a man inside a Lemon Hut. He was holding a large $100 gospel tract. I could tell that the man’s conscious was working, by the expression on his face. I also know the Holy Spirit was working, because I was able to take several pictures and adjust my camera without him ever looking up from what Trish was saying to him.

I started walking and heard Dennis over the noise of the carnival rides. I looked and he was about 50 or so feet away. I realized Dennis was giving a really good "open air preaching" to a man running a game with little rubber ducks. I got closer for a picture and saw that the man he was speaking to was locked on to every word coming from Dennis’ mouth. He never noticed me taking the picture but Dennis did. It didn't slow Dennis down and he never even changed his tone. I could tell the Holy Spirit was speaking directly through Dennis to this man’s conscious.

I started back to the other side of the midway when the game attendants started calling me over, not to play a game but because they wanted some of the giant $100 bills (gospel tracts) I was carrying around. These people working for the carnival were basically starving for Truth. It was such a refreshing opportunity to share the Gospel of Jesus with them, they were so open. When I asked where they were going to spend eternity they weren't sure, or they knew it would not be in Heaven. I found that I didn't need to share too much about the Law of God before they knew they had broken it-that they were sinners. I spoke to them of Judgment Day and Gods penalty for sin. I related this to the natural realm here on earth by comparing an example of standing in a court room before a Judge being convicted of a serious crime and then having someone else come and pay our fine in your stead. I told them about the Cross and what Jesus has done to pay for our sins. I told them it was not just a belief in Jesus but that we had to repent and trust in Jesus and do as He commands in the Bible. I asked them what sin was so important to them that they were willing to give up Heaven and spend eternity in Hell. I asked them why they would be willing to spend eternity in Hell in order to have a few short years of doing life their way- instead of just surrendering control to God.

As Dennis said to me as we passed each other in the midway, " I know that man I was talking to is really going to be thinking of his eternal destination while he is trying to go to sleep tonight." And that’s what I asked people to do before they went to sleep- to get right with God. They were very happy to take Ray Comfort's book, "SAVE YOURSELF SOME PAIN" which tells how to get right with God and how to have a relationship with Him. I also gave them "The Pocket Testament" book of John.

I had finished one conversation I was having and saw that Diana was standing next to me. She was locked into a conversation with a young man I had planned to speak with next. I took their picture. They never even looked up.

The most memorable moment was when I saw Trish witnessing to a lady, tending one of the games. They were very much into their conversation and I could see the concern on the face of the lady Trish was talking with. Trish had her back turned to me and the lady was facing me. I was going to take a picture when I realized the lady was praying and giving her life to Jesus! I waited with such joy and then asked Trish to see if I could take their picture. She agreed and I took the picture of them and congratulated her on her decision for Jesus. That by far is the best thing I have witnessed all week. Praise God!

A few weeks ago Dennis and I took off on a Sunday morning and went to Illinois to visit my family. It was really the first time I had been gone for any length of time and I hated to be away from our team of evangelists! We said our goodbyes and Jeff told us not to worry-that he would send out reminders of where the outreaches would be held, etc.

We listened to Pastor Chuck Smith as we drove, as he went through the book of Acts. A few hours into our trip we got a call from Diana.
I have bluetooth in my truck but sometimes the voice quality is poor-as in this case. AGHHH! Diana was happy-I could tell that! But all I could figure out was that I thought she said she went to Cocoa Beach and 2 people got saved on the beach!!! What an awesome report from there!! I got so excited that I called Jeff and told him that Diana had some exciting news and he should call her right away. I didn't want to spoil the surprise.

We went on down the road a few hours and spent the night in Tennessee. The next day we still had about 8 hours to drive, so we got up and started out. A couple of hours into the drive Jeff called. He wanted to let us know that after he talked to Diana and heard the great news, he got so excited that he called a few people and they went stright to the local beach. He said that Rochelle had the privilege of praying with three ladies on the beach for salvation!! Then he told us that Malcolm, who is a recent graduate of the WOTM Basic class was able to pray with an eleven-year-old girl!! He was so excited he kept talking and mentioned Diana's outing again but clarified that eight people had come to Christ when she went out!!! That morning I had led two people in the nursing home to the Lord-all told a whopping 14 people came to Christ that weekend.


Heb 4:12 For the Word of God is living and powerful and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing apart of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.

In light of this verse-what exactly was I worried about??


Sidenote: My Mom and Dad have a class in Illinois and they teach Way of the Master. They also have a website in the works called www.sowersclass.com, which you might also want to visit.

Gone Fishin'

Last night Dennis and I met for pizza with our WOTM class and a chance to talk to people about the Lord. Some were apprehensive while some were cool-all were ready to go. After prayer we broke up into smaller groups and out we went. We had a great chance to speak with 2 young guys’ named Sloam and Kelvin. Kelvin told us he was a Christian. When we asked him some questions he admitted that he should be better at sharing his faith. His friend, Sloam hesitated but said, “Yes” when asked if he was a Christian. We talked more in depth with him and he was very intense when he told us that he needed to go home and talk with God about his destiny.

We had an encounter with a guy named Nick, who told us he was very grateful that God had saved him from Hell. He also told us that he used to be homeless and living on the beach. I didn't give him the black eye...he took the Giant Money willingly!

Valerie became bolder and bolder as the evening went on, handing tracts to all who passed us. …
Sharon spoke to a man who thought his righteousness was ‘enough’. Loretta, Tracy and Theresa encountered an agnostic man who was from the Ukraine. As they brought the Law to him he began to justify himself.

I saw Wes on the corner with 2 guys who were listening closely


Evelyn came with her son Jordon-who is just 11 years old! While Evelyn spoke to a skateboarder, Jordan chose to practice his Curved Illusion on a lady and her teenaged son.

Trish and Diana spoke to a man who was in need of nothing and refused to engage them in conversation. They saw him later intensely reading the Good Person tract they had left him with! Well said that they are called, “Silent Preachers”!

Allyson, Jeffrey, Ken, Jerry, Jeff, Christina, Lillian and Harry rounded out our team. Although I haven’t heard firsthand what experiences they had, I am sure of one thing-they grew! One of the most interesting things I find when talking to people about eternity is that it is not about me talking to them, it is about God teaching us both.
