Several months ago my friend, Randy Coggins called me and said he had been ministering privately to Roger Stone. He told me he saw where Franklin Graham was going to be in Florida for his DECISION AMERICA tour and he was hoping to go to the outdoor service in the Sunshine State. Roger wanted to [...]
This week the revered reverend, Dr. Billy Graham turned 99 years old and BGEA is celebrating all year as he turns the corner into living a century. Very few live to be one hundred and even fewer know firsthand what it has been like to be used by God like this gentle giant from North [...]
Nearly 20 years ago, God gave me a vision at a dark time in my life and ministry. Ironically, it was "officially" starting and I had already been ministering since a child but while the ink was still drying on my ordination it seemed like things were falling apart. Satan was already trying to derail God's [...]
On opening weekend I was able to treat my family to see the new movie "SULLY" starring Tom Hanks. Captain Chesley Sullenberger is the pilot who courageously, miraculously and safely landed the plane on the Hudson (Flight 1549) on January 15, 2009. I remember that day vividly for a couple reasons. One, it was exactly [...]
MEET NICK: This brother, Nick Hall has an amazing assignment from the Lord. Since youth, he has been telling anyone and everyone about the Lord. God opened incredible doors for him to speak on campus while a student and that spread to a movement on multiple college campuses. After seeing firsthand how the [...]
It has been three weeks and I am still digesting and processing what God did in our midst in Monroeville, Alabama. Some skeptics suggest revivals are obsolete, tents are outdated and evangelism is out the window simply because it is too hard or offensive. One respected church leader said years ago, "It's not that [...]
HARD TO BELIEVE but it will be eight years this summer that I stepped out "By Faith" on July 27, 2007 and left the benefits, prestige and salary of Capitol Hill to preach the Gospel forsaking retirement, health insurance and job security to do the work of an evangelist. Ironically, I didn't have a single [...]
Sorry for slight delay in posting. Just in last month and half I have been blessed to minister coast to coast and just returned this weekend from preaching in Caribbean with my dear friend and Grammy Winner, Michael English. We were honored to reunite with Gospel Cruise Fest and for the week we saw [...]
Two and a half months from now churches and Christians all across America will be able to share their faith with family, friends and complete strangers with the latest outreach from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association. Dr. Graham turns 96 in November and the world was blessed tremendously by his message "MY HOPE - The [...]

On New Year's Eve 2013 - New Year's Day 2014 it was my honor to be a small part of what God did BIG this past week at my friend, Dean Forrest annual BIG GOD Conference in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Ironically, on New Year's Eve last year I was help ushering in the New [...]

So honored that Sheila Walsh - speaker with "WOMEN OF FAITH" and my buddy, Dave Sterrett of "I AM SECOND" both agreed to write endorsements for the book. Go God! One of the early chapters in the book, [...]
The gentleman above is Mr. Bobby Leach. He was the very first person to survive going over Niagra Falls in a barrel in 1911. With this white brother in a barrel perhaps that is where my favorite restaurant got their name - Cracker Barrel :) NO JOKE! Niagra Falls got its name from an Indian [...]
Jesus said: "You MUST be born again." It wasn't a suggestion but a statement from the only Savior known to mankind. The Scriptures note in Proverbs: "He that winneth souls is WISE." The Bible says in Daniel 12:3 "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn [...]
Yesterday, my dear friend and fellow Evangelist Randy Hogue texted me the quote below. It touched me so much that immediately I added a picture of Bono and shared it on FB and less than 18 hours it got over 144 shares and scores of comments. Literally, because of friends sharing it with their social [...]
Two weeks ago, I was in a whirl-wind tour of ministering in the Great State of Georgia. I love the South and the last time I was there instead of the trademark Georgia Peach someone after hearing me speak called me "The Georgia Preach." In just eight days, I drove 3,004 miles (alone), preached eight [...]
It is my honor to serve on the advisory board of Praisefest Ministries God has allowed me to preach on all FIVE of their cruises. We have been to Bahamas, Jamaica and now Haiti in June 2014. Dr Matthew Dunaway asked me to be in a commercial to promote their "WATER & WORD" relief effort. [...]
People ask me periodically why I shop at Walmart? With a smile but no less serious I share as a preacher of the Gospel I already have TARGET on my back! The truth is we are marked men (and women) when we live for God. The Bible reminds us "We are not ignorant of Satan's [...]
Today, Friday Nov 16, is my bride, Ruth's birthday and just got home from watching 9:40AM showing of Spielberg's "LINCOLN." It was wonderful! I wrote two posts on FB earlier this week and we were blessed with over 100 comments. Some of you may know that in my family five consecutive generations of Washington DC [...]
Thanks to LEDGER-ENQUIRER Newspaper in Columbus, GA for promoting our visit. Words cannot define or describe how fortunate I am to have just returned from Atlanta, GA particpating with NGA (Next Generation Alliance). Evangelist Luis Palau has travelled the globe preaching the match-less message of Christ, cross (burial and resurrection) and coming again! Dr Billy [...]
On Tuesday, June 19, 2012 I had the privilege to finally visit the renown Brooklyn Tabernacle Church in New York. What a day it was! We left at 11AM and returned at 6AM (next morning) but it was worth the trip! In the last six weeks, I have been in a DOZEN states but its [...]
Satan gives nightmares. God gives dreams. The Bible is filled with references of God giving the young and old alike dreams. Not just for their sake but His glory. It has been a whirlwind month. On May 3, Ruth I drove 220 miles to Richmond, VA. On Friday, May 4, my son, Andrew and I [...]
As I grow older, my desire is to complain less and encourage more. For years, I have said "Better to be a good example than a poor excuse." Very few things get my goat but one of them is the failure to use turn signals as a motorist on the road. You have been there, [...]
Back in October 2011, I called one of my childhood heroes and dear friend, MEADOWLARK LEMON. He answered the cell in his rich, deep voice and said: "Brother Frank!" It's a fact: "The Clown Prince of Basketball" always makes me laugh!! The Lord had laid him on my heart and I told him that the [...]
Well, its here and will be over before you know it. Sunday, February 5, 2012 is SUPER BOWL XLVI. Yes, I love the game and equally enjoy (most of the commercials) during the "epic" show. From the classic "Mean Joe Greene" commercial by Coca-Cola in 1979, or a cameo of Sly Stallone in 1983, for [...]
Yesterday, God showed up at church. It was my privilege to return and preach at The Fellowship Church in White Plains, Maryland and TEN adults trusted Christ as Savior and the entire altar was PACKED with folks making various decisions for JESUS. Pretty amazing with just under 200 in worship. God gave me a new [...]
This time next month (January 2012) my new book "THE BLESSEDNESS OF BROKENNESS" is scheduled to be released. It is such an honor to finally share it with folks across America and I'm honored and humbled to have some AMAZING authors and friends who contributed to share their broken seasons. Intentionally or subliminally we think [...]
It was my privilege to return yesterday to the great First Baptist Church of Glenarden in Upper Marlboro, MD and worship the Lord. Dr John K Jenkins, senior pastor of the 11,000 member church is passionate about making dynamic disciples for JESUS. He is the brother-in-law to one of my best friends, Stevie Prather and [...]
This is post NINE of a ten part blog. Check back each Monday for a new submission. Well, it has been fun to share some spiritual secrets that worked well for me the past 32 years walking with my Lord. I pray you have been blessed from these Heavenly hints and as this proverbial plane [...]
Last week we talked about how important it is to read but this week we highlight being READY. Once we read (Bible) we get READY (battle). Three weekends ago (Oct 1, 2011) I was worshipping with my family at my home church in White Plains, MD at our Sunday morning worship. In the month of [...]
