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!

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

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!
