My daughter, Jamie, started a conversation with a Muslim mother and daughter we met at a flea market. She tried to share Jesus with both of them but the conversation was not going anywhere. Debating just led to them digging their heels in deeper and they were not willing to give an inch. I joined in the conversation.
“Do you believe that all the prophets in the Qur’an speak the truth?”
“Do you believe that Jesus was a prophet?”
“Yes, we do.”
“So then you believe that everything Jesus said was the truth?”
“Yes, we do.”
“Well, Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man comes to the Father but through me.” Do you believe that?”
“It does not say that in the Qur’an.”

We were out on the streets in New York City with our team and bumped into a group of Empire State Building Observatory Ticket Sellers.
He asked me what I did and I shared with him that I was a minister. I also explained that I was here in Dallas at a conference this past week to learn how to train people in healing. “So you can really heal people?” he questioned me. “Yes. Do you have any pain in your body?” I asked him. “Oh, yes! My back is really hurting right now.” he responded. “No problem.” I said, “Let me pray for you”.
David Hobday, one of our team members, was with us in New York City on one of our mission trips when he wanted to buy some nuts from a street vendor. As he was paying for the nuts, he casually asked her if she had any pain in her body. She said that she had pain in her back.
My wife likes it that I volunteer to go shopping for her, even if it sometimes takes a lot longer than usual. That’s because I seek to find people in need of prayer so I can pray for them and set them free. And the best place to find people is to go where most people go…shopping!
The biggest problem most homeless people face is identity theft. Think about it. In our complex society, you need a valid ID, a driver’s license or a passport to be able to buy an airplane ticket and to board an airplane. One of the requirements to obtain a valid ID is a birth certificate which, if you have no money or resources, is almost impossible to secure.
“How did you know I was here?” He asked amazed that I had even noticed him. I had introduced myself to him as a minister who prays for people and God heals them and asked if I could pray for him since I had noticed he was walking with a cane. His name was Laurence and he explained that his legs were crushed by the Japanese during the war.
to be a spiritual attack from the enemy. I played guitar in church and had pretty much devoted my life to only writing, playing and singing Christian music. I knew that the enemy did not like that and I was convinced that it was a demonic attack to prevent me from glorifying the Lord with my playing music.
the one stand up table, I overheard two young guys speak Spanish at the next stand up table. They had finished their meal and were now finishing their beers. I was just about done and thought to myself I have two choices. One, I could just leave and all I would have had was a meal. Or, two, I could strike up a conversation with these guys and see what the Lord makes of it. I decided for the latter as it was a much more exciting prospect.


After my wife and I had spent 3 weeks in Holland visiting our families, I needed to return to New Jersey for business. For the next week or so I lived like a bachelor, working, eating and sleeping when I wanted without any regard to time of day.
