God has given Northwest Valley Baptist Church a beautiful piece of property.  It sits right at the foot of a small hill that is filled with desert vegetation including several beautiful saguaro cacti.  Add to that the wonderful weather in November and you can imagine the great setting for a great week. The teens in this youth group are a … Read More

I had been telling our team for a while how beautiful Mount Rainer was in Washington State.  The mountain is easily seen on a clear day from Galilee Baptist Church in Kent, WA.  The amazing thing was that we never saw it in seven days of being there!  It was either overcast, raining or clouds covered the mountain.  Thankfully, the … Read More

Wilton, CA is near Sacramento, but is very rural.  You think you are in the middle of nowhere even though a metropolis is near.  The team has been here twice before.  The team has always enjoyed being here.  Pastor Jeffcott and his staff are a blessing with which to labor. On Tuesday one of our team captains had invited two … Read More

I do not think there are many lemons left in Lemon Grove, CA, but there sure are a lot of people.  This suburb outside of San Diego manifests need as so many of our metropolitian areas do. The last time we were with Pastor Phil Sherwood was three years ago.  At that time the ministry was in La Mesa, CA.  … Read More

Gallup, NM is just south of the Navajo Nation and just north of the Zuni Indian reservation. As a result there were many Navajo teens as well as teens from other backgrounds that came to the outreach.  I think we had almost 60 different teens come with about 30 who made salvation decisions. Also, several parents came to the evening … Read More

Pear Park Baptist Church is a great church in that needy valley.  Pastor Randy David and I went to college together.  It was great to see how the Lord has used his ministry there these … Read More

In the spring of this year, my wife and I had the privilege of conducting a meeting at Green River Bible Baptist Church. Each service the auditorium was filled.  It was a wonderful meeting of souls saved and God’s people responsive to God’s Word.  This fall we had the privilege to return and conduct the War of Special Forces.  We … Read More

In the mid-1980s the Minutemen Evangelistic Team came to Community Bible Church in Norfolk, NE for the first time. We have been back several times over the years.  The last time the team was here was in 2002.  It was a joy to return and work with these dear people. The pastor when we first came, George Heusinger, is now … Read More

This is the first time the Minutemen Evangelistic Team has come to Arcadia, FL or to Heritage Baptist Church.  Personally, I came to this church a few years back to be a part of a wedding.  At that time, I talked some with Dr. Bedell, who at that time was the principal of their Christian school.  Dr. Bedell, years ago, … Read More

Years ago one of our Minutemen Evangelistic Teams came to a church in Keystone Heights, FL where, at that time, Mark Stevens was pastor.  Pastor Stevens testifies that the week birthed a youth group.  In the following years many times in the 1990s, the team periodically came to Keystone Heights and saw great attendance and decisions in those meetings. Pastor … Read More
