For the past few days things have been going really well. In the first few days I was mostly putting dinosaur tattoos on kids, which I really enjoy. But I was wanting to get into some deep conversations. In my last post, I did get into a really deep discussion with a man named, Angel.... Continue Reading →
2022 Iowa State Fair – Answers In Genesis Booth: Day 4
For the past few days things have been going pretty good and the conversations even though they were quick, were thorough.

2022 Iowa State Fair – Answers In Genesis Booth: Day 1-2
As I walked through the main gate on Grand Avenue, the feeling was electric. The smell of corndogs cooking along with all sorts of things on a stick wafted through the air. I felt as if I was home, and for some reasons I was. This year was a special year for me. It was... Continue Reading →
Joyful Inconvenience
We go through life being inconvenienced for many different reasons. Whether at the store when they don't have our favorite ice cream.

Garage Sale Evangelism

Pella Tulip Time Gospel Outreach 2022: Day 2
As I woke up this morning I could already feel the effects of staying up to write the update from yesterday's outreach.

Pella Tulip Time Gospel Outreach 2022: Day 1
As I am typing this it is 11:10 pm; I'm exhausted, but so excited that I just couldn't wait to tell of the amazing things God has done today with my group. As I was making my hour long way to Pella, IA I lamented the fact that I didn't prepare as much as I... Continue Reading →
Good Friday Evangelism
On Good Friday I decided to go out with a pack of Easter Million Dollar Bills and hit the streets to try to get into a conversation with a stranger to ask about what Good Friday and Easter mean to them. To be honest, the entire day was somewhat uneventful. It was cold outside and... Continue Reading →

Finally back after two seasons that were cancelled, we were finally back with our annual season opener. Of course evangelism is always open season here in Des Moines, but we like to celebrate and stretch out our witnessing muscles on events like the St. Paddy's Day parade. We started the day off meeting at Calvary... Continue Reading →
