Testimonies

I had just gotten off of an Amtrak train in Penn Station (Manhattan) and was on my way through Times Square to catch a subway train to my hostel, when I came across a woman who was sitting on a curb at 34th and Broadway. Now this woman appeared to be really sick, and it […]

Someone commented (critically) recently about a mugshot picture of me. Yeah, that’s it above – not from a police booking, but taken for a new passport and which was also being used as my profile picture for gmail (because I don’t have anything else). A brother, just this morning, then made a comment about how we (in Christ) should try to always […]

This is a testimony from NYC, written a number of years ago, but surely applicable (for us all) NOW… * * * * * * * * * * * * * When in Queens last weekend and while riding on an elevator at NYSUM, I was asked by a young bible student what we […]

A sister recently sent out a prayer request for me (something that I am very grateful for, BTW) as I was heading off alone for some ministry work in NYC. She stated in this request that I was going to NYC “to minister to the homeless there,” and I feel now to say something just […]

Although I feel not led to share specific testimonies from the most recent NY trip just now, I do ask for prayer for someone who we met on the trip, her name is Amelie. Amelie (a French name) is a young girl from Sweden who we met at the youth hostel where we stayed, and […]

I’m going to share with you here a particular and very personal dealing of the Lord from quite a few years back. May you have ears that can hear what is being said here that you not be stumbled by any of this. This really is a wonderful testimony of how God works to free […]

I get home from these trips and I sometimes feel very sad … even lonely. It feels as though my heart is broken, and that because I have left behind some people who I have just fallen very deeply in love with … … from the parking lot attendant whose husband has recently died and […]
