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

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

Years ago, as a young preacher, I came to Eagle Heights Baptist Church to preach in chapel.  That is when I met Pastor Bob Franseen.  At that time he was the school principal.  Since that time he has become the Pastor.  It was a blessing to be with Brother Franseen again.  He is doing a great job there. There were … Read More
