SUMMER MISSION TRIP, USA 2016
i SPENT the summer on the road trying to do some "great commission evangelism" but had to do some normal sightseeing tourist things as well in order to keep the peace (ie people don't appreciate evangelists too much anymore, most of what I did was "windshield wiper evangelism tracts" and video-evangelism.
Even though I would have liked to do what we did in the Philippines from the back of a pickup truck with a megaphone declaring the Good News of Jesus Christ loud and clear as we drove thru villages, but if we did that here in the good ol' USA we would be arrested for "disturbing the peace" , so I did the next best thing, and am compiling the video of it which you can view in the near future. Our country needs a REVIVAL like never before...
Even with Trump winning the election & hopefully a new champion of conservative Christian values (we hope, but are not yet sure) we cannot count on a politician to do what the church can and should be doing. We must continue to "fight the good fight", "run the race", never growing weary...
And remember to defend unborn life also. I made a point of trying to find planned parenthood locations as I drove thru some cities and prayed outside of them. It is the least we can do for the babies being killed on a daily basis. It is America's holocaust (& worldwide in too many other countries also).
The 1st segment of the trip is at the bottom and scrolls upward. When you see segment 59 you are at the top (& the end of the summer trip). Enjoy. God bless you. Please pray for the seeds I planted along the way to take root and grow. May this be the start of a new American revival !
