https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1DF2i9yeMA Ever since the beginning of time, we have been in a battle between GOOD vs EVIL. The duel between my Savior and Serpent is nothing new. In fact, the Bible says, "nothing new is under the Sun. "Yes, we wrestle not with flesh and blood but principalities and powers." Indeed, the ring is in [...]
PRAISE GOD! Coach Deion Sanders received our ministry leadership award. The Lord impressed on us to bless him and we love to honor those who are doing it right. When God tells you do to something we must get moving. Respect and honor are lacking in our culture today but winners recognize others without being [...]
PRAYERS NEEDED! - Friends, I’ve been invited to make several trips to Paris, France to help promote and build relationships with key leaders and churches for the upcoming 2024 Olympics. This will be my fourth Olympiad as a chaplain and Dr. Sam Mings of Lay Witnesses For Christ International asked me to go in advance to help pave the way! Lord willing; I [...]
This summer was WILD! It started off ministering in Nicaragua and then TEN states later we are exiting the summer and entering the FALL. We were blessed to minister coast to coast and even served and preached in Anchorage, Alaska with our dear friends Everett & Cathy Aaron of JUDAH 1 Airlines. The Lord opened [...]
What an honor it was to spend all last week in beautiful Nicaragua. Their country has been under intense persecution for sometime but after Ruth and I seeing it up close and personal we agree the people are gracious, the scenery gorgeous and the leaders share a burning desire to please God and hunger for [...]
This week I had the honor to have dinner at Mar-a-lago, the home of the President of the United States of America in gorgeous Palm Beach, Florida. Some have been blessed to visit and dine at The White House but not everyone has been invited to share a meal in the private home of a [...]
This week the Lord opened the door for a delegation to travel to the United Nations in NYC to discuss ways with Ambassador Garcia and Chairwoman Madelyn Rodriguez how we can collaborate as Christians to IMPACT culture and change the climate. It has been said, "Evil triumphs when good men and women do NOTHING." Christianity [...]
Last week, it was an honor to return and attend a meeting with the Ambassador of El Salvador at the United Nations.

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 [...]
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 [...]
"frank & FRIENDS" - Pastor Mark Batterson @ NCC One of America's most respected pastors and prolific authors, Mark Batterson has a brand new book out - "CHASE THE LION." Mark and I have been friends for probably a decade now and we both share a passion for God [...]
Kenny and "Chopper" were two brothers. They were adopted and frequented the church I came to faith in JESUS as a child. They were African American and I was born into a middle class white family. Together we were "ebony and ivory." We were brothers in Christ and I looked up to them in more [...]
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 [...]

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 [...]
Earlier this summer while speaking in Houston, TX I was able to connect with Hollywood actor and former "CHiPs" star, Erik Estrada. It is safe to say almost everyone loved "Ponch" back in the day. The girls wanted to date him and all the guys wanted to be like him! Today, he still does some [...]
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 [...]
Last year, while visiting California to tape a tv show at Trinity Broadcast Network studios (TBN) in Santa Ana I stopped by to visit the iconic Crystal Cathedral. Just weeks before, the legendary church called my cell while I was at home and inquired if I wanted to preach a Sunday sermon or give my [...]
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 [...]
This has been an AWESOME week! On Sunday, April 21, 2013 it was a JOY to preach @ Streetlite Church in Baltimore, MD for Pastor Brian Zimmerman. They are literally blocks from Camden Yards and Super Bowl Champs Ravens Stadium. We had 18 SOULS SAVED at the morning worship and GOD SHOWED UP! Yesterday, it [...]
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 [...]
Get COURAGEOUS and CRUISE for CHRIST Perhaps you saw the movie "Courageous" starring Alex Kendrick. Ruth & I have been invited by Gospel Cruise Fest to sail with Alex and minister on an upcoming cruise to Bahamas this November 11-16, 2013!

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 [...]
Recently, I read something that floored me. Yes, being born in 1972, I LOVE THE 80's! That was my era growing up. Personally, tv sitcoms are NOT what they used to be and NO tv theme songs today can compare to those from decades gone by. Regardless, if it were the theme from "DALLAS" with [...]
WHAT GOD DID IN LONDON @ 2012 Olympics Outreach (featured in EMERGING EVANGELISTS) It has been said: "GOING FOR GOLD" but recently I had the privilege to GO FOR GOD!
