Ouachita Hills Academy and College (January 25th-30th)

This was a very special privilege to speak at one of our SDA Schools. What made this experience so special is because of the deliberate and focused effort of this school environment to stick to the blueprint of God’s original design of True Education in a Seventh Day Adventist structure.

The teachers lived and led by example to the students in mannerism, deportment, dress, diet, and much more. The students were a group of individuals unlike any other I’ve ever seen in an SDA School setting. The degree of Christian piety and sincere desire to be like Jesus was truly refreshing.

Our series for the Week of Prayer was called "God’s call for Consecrated Workers". This title came through much prayer. We are told: “God calls for consecrated workers, who will be true to Him--humble men, who see the need of evangelistic work, and do not draw back, but do each day’s work faithfully, relying upon God for help and strength.”--Letter 43, 1905, p. 3.

As we went throughout the week, we clearly saw that the Lord ordained the title and emphasis for the week of prayer. There were many dynamics of the consecrated worker that our youth and adults were not aware of. There were many tears shed at these meetings and hearts turned over to the Lord afresh. This environment was different from other places I have been called to speak. These individuals were quite aware of Bible prophecy and end time events, the Sanctuary, the 3 Angel’s Messages, and many of the core doctrines of the Seventh Day Adventist Church.

However, there was a lack of peace and assurance of knowing that we are God’s and He is ours in the midst of the wave of final events. The Lord made it plain through His words of the Bible and the Spirit of Prophecy, that : “We have nothing to fear for the future, except as we shall forget the way the Lord has led us, and His teaching in our past history.”--LS 196 (1902)

We saw from the Bible the Highest expression and Experience in the 3rd Angel’s Message which is “justification by faith”. Evangelism pg.190 says: Several have written to me, inquiring if the message of justification by faith is the third angel’s message, and I have answered, "It is the third angel’s message in verity."-- Review and Herald, April 1, 1890. {Ev 190.3}

We then saw the fruit of those who are justified by faith, which is “peace with God” Romans 5:1 The reality was very few of God’s people have peace with God, we are aware of truth, but void of its presence in our hearts. There are many who understand “present truth” but lack the “presence of the truth” in our lives, and have no peace which is a “fruit of the Spirit” …”of Truth”. Galatians 5:22 & John 16:13

We are told: “The religious life is not one of gloom and of sadness but of peace and joy coupled with Christlike dignity and holy solemnity. We are not encouraged by our Saviour to cherish doubts and fears and distressing forebodings; these bring no relief to the soul and should be rebuked rather than praised. We may have joy unspeakable and full of glory”. Ev. Pg.180

By the conclusion of the week of prayer, I believe we were Revived and Refreshed under the outpouring of God’s Spirit and knew that we are God’s and He is ours. Therefore we had peace. Please remember in your prayers this very special school as we remember our schools throughout North America.

The Beehive (February 12th & 13th)

The Beehive is spear headed by Elder Rico Hill who is seeking to do his part to train God's people to evangelize using the beautiful evangelistic message God has given this church since her formation.

We were on the campus of Arizona State University where we were beginning a series of meetings on a 10 week challenge called “The Daniel Challenge”. PTH Ministries had the privilege to start off these meetings and we had an attendance of over 70 individuals our first night and some of them were the campus students amongst other visitors.

The Lord truly blessed as we saw that the challenge that Daniel faced in a foreign land (Babylon) was not just his challenge then but our challenge NOW!!!! "The history of Daniel is placed upon record for our benefit. He chose to take a course that would make him singular in the king’s court. He did not conform to the habits of the courtiers in eating and drinking, but purposed in his heart that he would not eat of the king’s meat nor drink of his wines. This was not a hastily formed, wavering purpose, but one that was intelligently formed and resolutely carried out. Daniel honored God; and the promise was fulfilled to him. "Them that honor Me I will honor." 1 Samuel 2:30" CH pg.50.


Though we are living in this world, we are looking for “a better country, that is, an heavenly”…”whose builder and maker is God” Hebrews 11:16, 10

Nevertheless, while we are here in this sinful world Satan’s tactics have not changed and we saw as Satan used the test of appetite to “unfit” Daniel to stand through his crisis, so he is now doing the same thing and seeking to make us unfit to prepare for the final crisis of Revelation 13 by causing us to indulge in appetite.

There was one man named Carl who touched me in a very special way. He was apparently a backslidden Seventh Day Adventist, and he said his niece dragged him out to the meeting. He said after he heard God speak so clearly through His Word, he was determined not to miss the following nights meeting to get more.

What’s so powerful, is that he said he was planning to go to a poker game tomorrow night but now the Lord has impressed him to come to the meetings, and he came!!!!! He was determined to once again stand with the Remnant and let God’s light shine within him. Praise God for Revival and Reformation!!!!!

There are currently over 15 students who have officially signed up for the Daniel Challenge. Please keep this missionary effort in your prayers.

New Life Baptist Church (January 13th,14th,20th,21st, & 25th)

I was very thankful to work with our Brothers and Sisters at the New Life Baptist Church. They invited us to come and teach their congregation on the topic of Health and Temperance and we gladly accepted the invitation.

My mind was taken back to a time when Ellen White was requested to speak at a Methodist Church on the very same topic, she says: On Sunday, June 23, 1878, I spoke in the Methodist Church of Salem, Oregon, on the subject of temperance. The attendance was unusually good, and I had freedom in treating this, my favorite subject. I was requested to speak again in the same place on the Sunday following the camp meeting, but was prevented by hoarseness. On the next Tuesday evening, however, I again spoke in this church. Many invitations were tendered me to speak on temperance in various cities and towns of Oregon..... (4T 290-291) {LLM 237.3}  

We were able to explain the correlation between disease and the violation of God’s laws both spiritual and physical. We began to show how most diseases today such as High Blood Pressure, Diabetes, Arthritis, etc. are directly related to lifestyle.

As we showed through the Bible and the latest from Medical Science the road to restoration, the people were amazed and made a decision step it up as it relates to their Lifestyle habits and the need to make serious changes.

We put together Lifestyle programs for everyone and gave one on one consultations that helped individuals with specific issues in their lifestyle practices. Last year we did these same presentations with New Life and we saw many individuals with High Blood Pressure, Diabetes and Obesity come into the meetings with these problems but leave without them!!!!

We finished our meetings off with a healthy vegetarian quisine cooking class. The people were able to truly taste and see that the Lord is good, not just spiritually, but physically as well.

One of the greatest statements that the participants said about the meetings, was that they did not know how much what they eat and how they live can affect their spiritual being and vice versa. We were especially pleased to hear that as our goal is not to help sick sinners, become healthy vibrant sinners. Heaven forbid!!!!

Our desire is that individuals will see a greater need for Jesus in their lives, enter into a true experience of Righteousness by Faith, get ready for the coming of the Lord and see how our diet and lifestyle plays a role in making this experience a reality. Our working with Pastor Harris, the staff and members of the New Life Baptist Church, has allowed PTH Ministries to begin this wonderful process.

Bible Boot Camp ( January 22nd & 23rd, 2010)

The Lord allowed the year to start off in a wonderful way, as we had a Bible Boot Camp in Atlanta GA. We were going to rent out a facility and register students to come for these intense studies. However, God clearly had different plans. We had about 40 registrants, but we ran into some complications with the facility and had to end up doing the meetings in one of our churches in Duluth GA.


The first blessing we saw, was that instead of 40 people to work with over the weekend, we ended up having over 250!!!! The Holy Spirit sent hungry souls out to the meetings session after session.

God did something wonderful during the Divine Hour meeting. As the Lord impressed point after point on how to properly study the Bible. The Spirit of God began to strongly impress the point about Jesus and His character being the focal point of searching the scriptures and allowing that character to be perfectly reproduced in us. I was not completely sure why the Lord was impressing me more than usual on this point until the appeal was made.

As I asked if there was anyone who has never given their lives to Jesus and accept His message of truth for this time to stand and accept Him and His message today. We were so grateful to see over 15 precious souls surrender their hearts to Jesus Christ. One of which was a Roman Catholic. It was a most moving demonstration of the Spirit of God breaking down the shackles of imprisonment to Satan’s snares. To God be the Glory!!!!!

In the evening, we allowed the individuals to demonstrate what they have learned from the sessions by putting their knowledge and tools to work. We did this because we are told in the book Education: “Every teacher should see to it that his work tends to definite results. Before attempting to teach a subject, he should have a distinct plan in mind, and should know [BEGIN P.234] just what he desires to accomplish. He should not rest satisfied with the presentation of any subject until the student understands the principle involved, perceives its truth, and is able to state clearly what he has learned. {Ed 233.4}”

It was such a blessing to watch God’s people come together for intense study and explain difficult Bible texts by simply using the method the Holy Spirit teaches us to use in rightly dividing the word of truth. It was a powerful weekend.

This people left with a sense of empowerment. We were thankful that such a mssion was accomplished.

Praise ye the Lord!!!!!!!!

Lincoln Heights SDA (February 26th-28th)

It was a pleasure being in Southern California as the last time I was in this side of the world, I was dancing for the Devil. Now I was here to lift up the Risen Savior.

We had a powerful weekend as we looked at the "Only Message that could bring Change" which was the practical understanding as well as application of the Three Angel's Messages. We were so thankful to see many individuals who rededicated their life to the Lord and were determined to live the "experience" of the Three Angel's Messages.

We were especially grateful to God to see nearly 20 precious souls surrender their hearts to Jesus and accept His end time Gospel Message for the 1st time at the Divine Hour Service. The Lord is truly gathering His saints for the heavenly garner. Some times we cannot see how the Lord can use us to brings souls to Him and His cause, but we are reminded that is is not us but Christ in us who does the work. Phillipians 2:13 Notice this quote: "The Lord will work with power, as we strive to do our part faithfully, He will cause ______ to hear the message of present truth. Cooperate with Him in bringing this about, my brother, my sister, and He will help you, strengthen you, and encourage your hearts through the salvation of many precious souls". Ms 59, 1908, p. 15.

Truly, my wife and I are amazed that God can use sinners like us to draw others to Him. Truly we say, to God be the Glory.

On Sunday, we were able to conduct an emphasis on Medical Missionary Work and the 3rd Angel's Messages being the means to take a dead church, and bring it back to life. Our quote for this was found in Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers pg. 415: "To my ministering brethren I would say, Prosecute [BEGIN P.416] this work with tact and ability. Set to work the young men and the young women in our churches. Combine the medical missionary work with the proclamation of the third angel’s message. Make regular, organized effort to lift the churches out of the dead level into which they have fallen and have remained for years. Send into the churches workers who will set the principles of health reform in their connection with the third angel’s message before every family and individual. Encourage all to take a part in work for their fellowmen, and see if the breath of life will not quickly return to these churches". {TM 415.2}

We then completed the message with a cooking class, wherein the people were able to understand disease, it's causes, and how God gave us food for our medecine. Based on the pictures the brethren were encouraged and were able to "taste" and see that the Lord is God, not just Spiritually, but Physically as well. To God be the Glory.
