We need prayer. Today was somewhat rough. It began when we left Richmond and headed to Washington, DC. Once again, the streets of Richmond were practically dead, so we headed north. Enroute to Washington, we decided to stop north of Fredericksburg at Guinea Station, the place where Confederate General T.J. "Stonewall" Jackson (one of the finest examples of Christian godliness and Gospel dedication in American history--in my opinion) died on May 10, 1863 following the battle of Chancellorsville

raleigh & richmond

As I mentioned a couple of days ago, the bike ride is delayed for a week or so in Raleigh, NC because of a leaky camper shell which the company has agreed to replace with a brand new one built from scratch especially for my truck. This, unfortunately or perhaps fortunately, takes time. As a result, Jamie and I are on a side road trip up the East Coast until next Wednesday, hoping to preach the Gospel on the streets in several major cities along the I-95 corridor: Richmond, Washington, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.

from surf city to raleigh

We are still in Raleigh, NC and difficulties seem to be arising by the minute that are delaying our progress. At least this is how things appear from a human perspective. However, the Holy Word of God makes it plain that our thoughts are not God's thoughts and our ways are not his ways--his thoughts and ways are much higher (Isaiah 55:8).

a young man comes to Christ

It has been really hot the last couple of days and not many people have been out on the streets to preach to. Nevertheless, God has given us numerous opportunities to share the blessed Gospel with people we seem to "accidentally" come in contact with. On Tuesday, we were able to lead a young man to Christ down on the Neuse River where I had stopped to take a quick swim.

it begins

Greetings everyone in the name of the Most High God. Tomorrow morning, we will be leaving Hickory, NC and heading for the Atlantic Coast somewhere near Wilmington, NC. On Sunday morning, I plan to stand on the beach with my feet in the water of the Atlantic Ocean and publicly preach the Gospel to the crowds of sunbathing folks who are not spending the Lord's Day in church. Then, I plan to mount my bike and begin pedaling west: Final Destination = Neah Bay, Washington and the Pacific Ocean.

heading east

Jamie and I are in Washington State and will be leaving Wednesday morning so as to make our way back east for the embarkation of Coast to Coast 2003. For all of you who have supported (through your thoughts, prayers, and/or financial gifts) Full Proof Gospel Ministries and our endeavor to take the Gospel of Jesus Christ from one end of this country to the other, THANK-YOU!
