Oct Highlights – Africa

VIDEO- NOT WILLING TO PAY BRIBES:

Click the photo below to watch an excerpt of my recent conversation with the US Embassy about the Madlang-awa criminal offenses and the corrupt Cambodian police.

Those who are loyal to the Lord do not pay police bribes. Living in a society that normalizes that particular sin is not a valid excuse.

I will not pay bribes.

“… Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Corinthians 6:9-10

I am approved by the Lord because I do what He commands me to do, even when it requires losing what is very important to me.

I do not follow people. I take orders only from the Lord. My loyalty is to Him.

“And he who does not take his cross and follow after Me is not worthy of Me.” Matthew 10:38

Are you worthy?

AFRICA:

This month, the Lord led to Kenya.

Milestone: I have preached the Gospel of Jesus Christ in North America, South America, Europe, Asia, Australia and now Africa… every continent on earth, except Antarctica!

PRAISE THE LORD!

In Kenya, I preached that true success in Christ is the path of Job. Prove loyalty.

Deny yourself. Stand against “them” (i.e. everyone) and be willing to lose career, money, power, respect, friends and family.

Then, after loyalty only to the Lord has been proven, trust Him to restore double what Satan has stolen (Job 42:10).

Are you seeking approval from “them” or from the Lord?

“… If I were still trying to please man, I would not be a servant of Christ.” Galatians 1:10

The Masai tribe honor a “Creator God” through superstitions. However, they reject the Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ. Those who reject the Son have rejected the Father (John 14:6; 1 John 2:22-23).

These Masai tribesmen listened diligently, were respectful and took correction well.

Islam rejects the Deity of Christ, as well as His death, burial and resurrection.

The Muslim man pictured below showed much respect for my role as Pastor and asked many questions about Biblical Christianity.

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'” Mark 16:15

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

Sept Highlights – Justice in the Lord’s Time

Posted on by

As evidenced in the photos below… Convicted pedophile “William Van Leer” (born William “Will” Johnson) and his brother Jeremiah Johnson (of Luxe Voyage Asia) both teach children at Independent Baptist Church of Siem Reap (IBCSR) under Joel Madlang-awa (Madlangawa).

បុរស​ម្នាក់​ដែល​ត្រូវ​បាន​ចាប់​ខ្លួន​ពី​បទ​រំលោភ​បំពាន​ផ្លូវ​ភេទ​លើ​កុមារ និង​ប្អូន​ប្រុស​របស់​គាត់​បង្រៀន​កុមារ​នៅ​ព្រះវិហារ Joel Madlang-awa។

Apostates Joel and Jong Madlang-awa (pictured below) are both known for having inappropriate sexual relationships with their students.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7

From the U.S. to Cambodia, time and time again, the Lord has brought judgment on the spiritually proud who falsely accuse me. They are doing so to hide their own sin.

I will tolerate the disrespect no longer. Call me Pastor.

August Highlights – Tremendous Progress

Calling Corrupt Police to Repentance:

My German friend’s phone was stolen. Cambodian police told him they wouldn’t help him unless he paid every police officer $10 each. There were 10 of them. He paid $100, and suddenly his phone appeared.

Most people just pay the bribe. I have refused to pay bribes.

That is why corrupt police stand against me. I have suffered to remain faithful to the Lord.

Recently I called another pack of policemen to repentance for trying to scam me. Click below to watch a video excerpt.

My authority to correct those walking in abominations comes from the Lord Jesus Christ, who has authority over all.

Call me Pastor.

“Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap.” Galatians 6:7

New Castaway Baptist Location:

It’s been a long month. But much progress has been made… Praise the Lord!

A whole lot of lighting was added to brighten up the place, empower Bible reading, etc. Much better. Photos don’t do it justice.

Just a few more “before & after” examples…

“One thing I have desired of the Lord, That will I seek: That I may dwell in the house of the Lord All the days of my life, To behold the beauty of the Lord,
And to inquire in His temple.” Psalm 27:4

PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST!

July Highlights – The Lord Leads UP

Posted on by

Over the years, I have become somewhat of an expert in the art of, “Never Give Up!”

From PNC Bank to an unfaithful wife to scammers to corrupt pastors and corrupt police, I have chosen the Lord over everyone and everything.

“For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil, for which some have strayed from the faith in their greediness, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.” 1 Timothy 6:10

The Lord blesses the bold. He called me to Cambodia to train up disciples to be as bold in standing for Christ against the world as I have been.

That having been said, the Lord has provided a new location for Castaway Baptist Church. Praise the Lord!

A few miles away, this location is much nicer than the previous location.

“Let the wicked fall into their own nets, While I escape safely.” Psalm 141:10

Lots of work has gone into the selection and now the preparation…

Thailand recently bombed Cambodia. We are about 85 miles away from the nearest border.

I am not scared. The Lord has protected me during many bombing raids in this spiritual war. He is certainly able to do the same in a physical war.

“Some trust in chariots and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. They collapse and fall, but we rise and stand upright.” Psalm 20:7-8

PRAISE THE LORD!

February Highlights – The Push

Video | Posted on by

Calling people out of sin and dead religion to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the core mission of the church.

When witnessing to a Catholic in the U.S., it is the responsibility of the witness to meet them where they are – to share that idolatry and praying to/through spirits of the dead is sin that leads to hell.

The same applies when witnessing to Buddhists in Cambodia.

Evangelism RISKS relationships, job security, reputation, power and money.

My peers refuse to do it. Instead, they search high and low for ways to prove they are “a good person” or spiritually superior. For example:

1) Reminiscent of the scribes and Pharisees, many continually imply they are morally purer than others (Matt 23:27-28).
2) Many cling to a certain Bible translation they feel makes them superior.
3) Some “debate endless genealogies” (Titus 3:9), such as specifics around when the Lord will rapture the church.
4) Others go from one church conference to another trying to find satisfaction in “Christian community,” since Christ does not offer peace and joy to the disobedient.

Anything to avoid simple obedience…

“… Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice …” 1 Samuel 15:22

BUT The Word of God calls us to RISK IT ALL! PUT CHRIST ABOVE ALL ELSE.
“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

Youth must follow me.

Every Sunday afternoon, we hit the streets to share the gospel together…

“Brethren, I urge you to become like me…” Galatians 4:12

Sharing the gospel with those who struggle with gender identity…

Sharing the gospel with prostitutes and homeless people…

“Now the just shall live by faith; But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” Hebrews 10:38

PRAISE THE LORD!

January Highlights – The Lord Provides!

Prayer Partners:

Blessings follow obedience. The Lord provided through those of you who obeyed His leading. PRAISE THE LORD!

Thank you to those of you who support my ministry. May the Lord abundantly bless you!

As appealing as a Ford truck or SUV is (would be perfect if I were in Pennsylvania), this Toyota Wigo is a brand NEW perfect fit.

“But seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you.” Matthew 6:33

Over several visits to the dealership, I witnessed to three staff members.

The salesman assigned to me has a believing older brother, who I would assume prays for his salvation. In a nation that is 95%+ Buddhist, I believe that was a Divine appointment. Praise the Lord!


“I press toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 3:14

Witness Wherever You Go!

Here on the mission field, there are many pastors and missionaries.

Do any of them share the gospel? VERY FEW! Instead, they follow each other and the lead of pastors back home; they avoid offending people to keep attendance numbers up… sending people to hell.
“…they should repent, turn to God, and do works befitting repentance” Acts 26:20

The Lord has called me to lead by example – to activate the church!

In the gym, the Lord continues to move in power – providing opportunities to witness to many, including an Israeli Jewish man and many buddhists.

True believers in Christ love people with the love of Christ and want them to receive everlasting life in heaven.

A number have come to Castaway (Gospel) Baptist. Others have committed to come.

Wall clock broke in my house… shared the gospel with the young Muslim woman who sold me a new clock.

Maintenance guy came to install something at the church… shared the gospel with him…

“And He said to them, ‘Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature.'” Mark 16:15

Train Up Youth to Share the Gospel Wherever They Go!
