Thank you so much for watching this video, I hope you enjoyed it and I'll see you in the next one!
Hey everybody, thanks for joining us on the Baptist bias and we're talking about a mega marathon that happened today a lot of soul winning
That's taking place on all kinds of churches and we're trying to count up all the totals
We should be joined with pastor Thompson who has helped spearheading this movement of soul winning day
But we also got our co-host been the Baptist. How's it going been?
It's going great. I'm just happy, you know, it brings me great joy to see everybody come together
on the same day to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, to get many saved, doing the work of the Lord.
It was an awesome day, and I'm just I'm so glad to be here well
We got a cool story me and Ben actually got to go so winning together today, and we're going to be talking about that story
We're also going to be taking some call-ins. So if you want to share a
Testimonial from one of the salvations you have the day or one of the experiences or you just like to call in you can call in
231 Baptist we're actually going to be doing a giveaway
we're gonna be giving away some shirts and some merchandise to those who call in. So if you
want to call in 231, bad this, we'd love to hear from you. I was gonna see if I could get
Pastor Stucky on the line, but I think that their church services may be too close to this time,
because they're like 12 hours ahead of us or something like that. So I'm not sure if he's
And we're still trying to calculate all of the numbers and I apologize if I don't have
some of these numbers or if they're a little inaccurate.
We are just trying to get the stuff as they came in to us.
We can go to, I think we can go to my screen real quick.
So here's just a preliminary look of what we got so far and some of the numbers.
great group, great spirit, great fellowship,
and God really spared us with the weather.
The weather turned out pretty good.
Yeah.
From the quick chat, I just kinda looked at it real quick
and these subjects, these numbers are subject to change,
but look like we had about 48 salvations
for the day so far based on the soul winning that happened.
We still may have some people trickling in,
so we're not really sure.
I also wanted to highlight Spring Crest Baptist Church with Pastor Enrique Reyes shout out
to Houston for them participating and they had a good group go out, they had 15 soul
winners go out and seven salvations and again some of these numbers may update or may change
a little bit.
These are the numbers that I saw originally.
Another one that's pretty cool is Straight Paths Baptist Church, Tucson, Arizona.
And they are pastored by Pastor Corbin Russell.
They had 65 soul winners and 25 salvation.
So that is epic.
That is really, really good.
You can probably put us both out back on the screen.
I don't know if you have the...
Yeah, there we go.
So we got lots of different ones. We're gonna go through them as well
And we're gonna be trying to bring in our guest Pastor Thompson. He's still trying to get things set up
I also saw some pictures on Facebook that I want to share from some of our soul-winning efforts and things that have been going on out
There but amen. Hey, this is great and you know
Of course, we all may have little differences
and we may not even all like each other,
but we should at least be able to rally around soul winning.
And, you know, there's a lot of churches
that participated in this.
We had over 29 churches that looked like
that participated, plus there may have been even more.
And of course, I'm sure there's a lot of soul winning
that happened that doesn't even have anything to do
with our friends or our fellowship.
And so, you know, praise God
for the people going out soul winning today.
preaching the gospel. Tomorrow is Easter. You need to make sure to go to church on Easter at least,
right? I mean, they say have Easter only Christians out there. That's kind of a shame that you only
go on Easter. But if you don't even go on Easter, that's just not cool. You got to go to church on
Easter. So, I mean, we want all the Easter folks to come on out. And it looks like we got Pastor
Thompson in studio with us. Hey, Pastor Thompson, how's it going? Hey, good. How are you guys doing
Looking sharp. How was the day? Yeah
It was good. Yeah, we had ten salations. We went to Portland
Actually, they need the gospel
Yeah, yeah, and uh, not so many weirdos at the place we were out. It's kind of more of a MAGA area
Nice that means I like it
That means that they're right
There was still some you know some
Uh, angry liberals there, but it's not as crazy as like, you know, inner city Portland.
So there's still some sanity out in Clackamas County.
So, um, yeah, this, uh, it was nice.
Yeah.
Got an Ethiopian woman saved at the end of the day and, uh, and, uh, brother CJ, one of
our church members got a Mormon.
Um, got her saved, but she was like, I don't know.
She was raised in a Baptist church and what she was a bus kid actually.
And, uh, I don't think she really quite understood the Mormon doctrine very well.
She kind of, um, anyway, it was, it was a cool salvation because I probably
would have walked away from that door pretty quickly, but I just goes to show
that, you know, sometimes you stick with it a little bit and, um,
It's not all it's cracked up to be all the time. So she was more of a Jack warman that was just going to church there and she's like a single mom and
Afterward she kind of was sharing some of her grievances with us and it was
Yeah, anyway, it was a great salvation couple of times I didn't get it
We should get CJ to call in and tell us the story himself
Uh, also he had to leave halfway in so okay, he might be able to call in if he's if he's listening
So yeah, two three one Baptist. We'd love to hear some stories like that and get some updates
I'm gonna see can we can we go back to the stats? I'm gonna go through some more of the stats here and
Pastor Thompson's been helping me gather some of this data
I apologize if I don't have everything right, but and if I if I'm missing something, please just either
Text us, message us, put it in the chat
and we'll try to get it updated, put it in here.
So I covered the first three churches.
We had Stifast Baptist Church in the Dallas,
4th area, 100 soul winners, 48 salvation so far.
Springcrest Baptist Church in Houston, Texas,
15 soul winners, seven salvation.
Straight Paths Baptist Church of Tucson, Arizona,
65 soul winners, 25 salvation.
Anchor Baptist Church in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, 17 soul winners, 15 salvations. Now that's a great
number like ratio when you talk about the number of soul winners to salvations.
That is a great number. And now this one will blow everybody away. Philippines, they have like 13
total churches out there that were participating with Pastor Matthew Stuckey.
and others and they had 183 soul winners and 471 salvations. Now that is incredible. Yeah, I mean
Look folks, that's why people love the Philippines.
That number is just incredible.
And of course, it's super believable
if you've ever gone out there
because you can sometimes get four or five people saved
in just one conversation,
let alone if you're just going out there all day.
And so that is awesome.
From what I've heard.
Pastor Kevin Sepulveda had a couple different churches
in Australia, three different churches,
25 soul winners and 17 salvation.
Now, I don't know exactly where all those were at.
But if they were in Australia, that is incredible because let me tell you,
Australia is a very difficult place, you know,
as far as just comparison other places in the world for soul winning.
And so to get 17 salvations is super awesome.
Shout out Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy. Yeah. That's what I'm talking about.
Yeah. That's what I need. Right. Hey, when I went to go see them,
that's the first thing I did. I got out of the car.
And I just scream, I'm just like, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.
And they were like, aye, aye, aye.
I was just like, this is epic.
I get to do this.
You did that.
And then, of course, where did we eat in Australia?
McDonald's.
Outback Steakhouse.
It was just like, it was like so epic.
Shout out to those in Australia that love the brother
and over there.
That's where I would have gone.
Yeah.
And then we got Hong Kong.
Two Hong Kong. Yeah, that's an epic. Look at this. Yeah, two soul winners six salvation six salvations in
Communist China. That's that's incredible. Wow do buy five soul winners ten salvations
Look at that some Arabs got saved today. Sure Foundation Baptist Church Vancouver
Pastor Thompson, you had 24 soul winners,
10 salvations, what you reported to me.
And then he's got a whole list of church plants here.
So we got Indianapolis, seven soul winners,
15 salvations, Yakima, 11 soul winners, nine salvations,
Seattle, 10 soul winners, four salvations,
Spokane, 11 and nine.
And then Detroit was,
eight soul winners and three salvations.
Now is Detroit, that's just a group of soul winners
that we have that are friends out there or something.
You can go back to our screen for a second.
Yeah, that's just our buddies.
Okay.
Yeah, they had a big soul in Marathon last weekend.
So where they had like, I think 50 soul winners,
I wanna say, and now, or maybe they had,
no, I think they had 56 salvation.
I don't know, I can't remember,
A bunch of people saved just last week, so and that was like they just like had a really epic weekend
And so they're kind of on a back-to-back so many marathon week
So it's a good group out there. Detroit is just like a great place to go
So many seems like I've never been there personally, but it just it always seems has really great numbers
Everybody's always talked about it being a really great place. And so
That's awesome
Hey, yeah, Pastor Russell can call in and share with us his last week. Yeah. Yeah, we should get Pastor Russell to call in
We had okay, Springcrest pastor is as decrepit. He says he doesn't think Hong Kong is Chinese or Communist
No, they took over Hong Kong there used to be like British run and then they were gonna run it
I don't know, maybe I could be wrong, I don't know.
But I thought they took it back over
at his communists now or something,
but maybe I'm wrong about that.
I'm not an expert on Chinese foreign policy.
He's saying they are Chinese, they don't think so.
So I guess the people themselves, maybe they consider.
Oh, okay, yeah.
They consider themselves to be different.
Right.
In Hong Kong, I mean, to me, it's all the same, but.
It's like we consider ourselves American, but we're not Babylonians or something.
Hey, I think we have Pastor Stuckey joining us.
We're going to try and get him on the show as soon as possible.
So as soon as you get him up, brother Tim, just bring him on the screen.
And we'd love to get a quick chat from him because he's got church today.
So once you get that tested, just get him up on the screen real quick.
or I should say the salvation in Hong Kong were probably Filipinos.
It could have been. Could have been. I mean, honestly, I think Hong Kong is like a major
international hub. So like, they honestly could have a lot of people from all over the world
in Hong Kong specifically. I think they were black. It's possible. No, I'm just kidding.
Honestly, they don't know. They struggle to like those people. You're saying Chinese people can't
I'm just digging myself into as big a hole as I can to start the show here.
I don't know what you're saying exactly, but...
As long as they eat McDonald's, they can still be saved.
That's right.
I mean, I think China is like, you know, a lot of people want to get saved over there.
It's been the week of Strange Doctrine, I'm just trying to add to it, alright?
I'm coming up with my own Strange Doctrine.
I feel left out.
I want to come up with my own Strange Doctrine.
Oh man.
Philippines and so hopefully we get him on here real quick. That'd be nice. That would be epic and
Talk about, you know, carrying the carrying the load here. I mean this guy is literally carrying us in this soul-winning endeavor, so
Shout out to them out there in the Philippines. We also have an evangelist out there evangelist Duncan Urbanic from steadfast Baptist Church
he also
does a lot of soul winning over there and is
partnered with and helped Verity Baptist Church
by Pastor Stuckey some,
but boy, Pastor Stuckey is really tearing it up over there.
Lots of churches.
I mean, that's epic, just the number of soul winners.
I mean, that's epic.
183 soul winners.
And looking at the total,
we had about 537 soul winners
that I have reported so far.
So they're making up almost 25%
somewhere in that range of the soul winners.
Let's see if we can get Pastor Stuckey in here.
And hey, Pastor Stuckey, how's it going?
Can you hear us?
Yeah, I can hear you.
Can you guys hear me?
Yeah, you sound great.
We got you.
Give us an update.
How'd it go today?
Yes, so the internet's very low here. So if I cut off then you know problem. It's just kind of the internet's bad here
Yeah, we got church in like 45 minutes. So I just quickly came on here, but here in the Philippines. They have
holidays basically
Thursday through Saturday or Wednesday through Saturday and
So the the churches that are involved most of them went so when he actually Thursday Friday and Saturday
We just kind of reported the results for Saturday
And so, I didn't see the beginning of this broadcast, I just pulled into church, so I don't know if I'm going to repeat any information, but there was several other countries involved, Hong Kong.
I just heard you guys talking about that. Generally, it's generally Filipinos that are the soul winners over there, and they generally target Filipinos because the locals are not that receptive to the gospel.
Nailed it, man.
It wasn't me, but I'll take the credit anyway.
The one thing I wanted to highlight is that just for a few minutes is actually soul-winning
from Friday in Pampanga because it's the biggest area in the world where they do the crucifixions
for they call it Magdurame where the Catholics will beat themselves and crucify themselves.
And I remember when I first heard about it, I didn't think it was really that prevalent,
but my first year here, I mean, you got to kind of turn your head because you're not
horrible, you know, the beatings that they're doing and how bad it is.
And we're actually doing a mini documentary on it and we're able to get some good interviews
from the people that actually beat themselves, but we do a soul winning marathon there and
actually the locals in the neighborhood for whatever reason they're very receptive on
that day.
It makes them think about spiritual things.
And so the soul winning is far more receptive door to door on that day than any other time
that I think we're going to ever be able to knock there.
We also were able to get in.
And he's like, he's done it 36 times and this is like his retirement year and brother Franklin from our church was able to go in and get a quick interview with him.
And so we're excited about that.
So that's awesome.
And you know, it's funny, like what the devil meant for evil you guys, you know, use for good, like they're out there just beating themselves senseless for no reason, but you guys are able to go out there and get a bunch of people saved.
So that's pretty cool to like turn things around and use that to get a lot of people saved.
Yes, it's a cool event to do.
We did it last year for the first time and I was thinking this is either going to be
the most receptive, release receptive event we ever do.
And it turned out to be really receptive.
The people at the door are really listening and everything, so it was a big success again
this year.
So yeah, Ben was trying to shout out to y'all and he did not know how to say Pampanga at
all.
What did you even say, Ben?
I don't think it's important.
No, I was struggling with the city name.
So I was saying, I was trying to list the names
that you put on your Facebook page of the cities
that you were doing the soul winning mega marathon in
on my stream the other night.
And some of those were really difficult for me.
I think one of them that Pastor Shelley
is giving me a hard time for, as I said, Pampanga.
But I guess that's not how you say it.
I'm not sure that's wrong with an awesome. Okay, so it's pom ponga pom ponga got it
So it takes a little bit of time to get used to but yeah
Well, it's all right, you know, I better get going here cuz sorry
I don't mean to head out. I gotta get going. We're gonna get a little bit. So thank you so much for giving us any time
Yep
Yeah, y'all check out in the Philippines
Manila you want to check them out doing a great work out there
I don't and I mean how can you hate a guy that's leading just such a big charge or soul winning
You got to love passers-stucky
OSAS 2001 shout out in the chat says
Passers-stucky was tearing it up in the States before going to the Philippines. So
you know, it's not like we just send out random people to do these great works, you know, show
yourself faithful here and where you're at if you want to end up going out into these foreign
countries and these foreign lands to do great works and great exploits, because it's a privilege
to be an evangelist. It's a privilege to go out there and preach the gospel and, you know, we need
great people out there, but man.
That's really good. Oh, apparently Ben's pronunciation. I thought it was cavity cavity. It's not cavity
I don't I'm not even sure I know how to say I don't speak Philippines. All right, y'all got to give me a break on this
Yeah, Ben
Ben doesn't know what ridiculous
Alright, we got oh we got pastor Reyes
No, I'm not who we got on the phone. Let me see. Okay
Let's get Pastor Reyes in here.
Pastor Reyes, see if we can bring him on the line.
Kavite, I guess that's how you say it.
Pastor Reyes, how's it going?
Hey, how's it going, Pastor Shelley?
Doing great, good to hear from you.
I appreciate you guys having me on.
I actually wouldn't have jumped on normally,
but I wanted to give out a big shout out
to the people that showed up at Spring Crest.
We got...
But on Thursday, I got really ill and I've been basically in bed all day, on Thursday
throwing up and fever when I called in the audible and they all showed up and did, you
know, it's all about the work for the Lord.
So I just wanted to let know that I'm really grateful for everybody that showed up.
They went out there and did the work regardless of who was there.
And I just wanted to publicly let them know that that made that was the best part of the
entire day for me because I was kind of sad to miss out on the soul wedding and the activities.
They just took it, ran with it and did a great job.
So that's really, other than you guys
putting this thing together, and of course,
you know, everybody loves Pastor Thompson and Pastor Shelly.
And Brother Ben, it's okay if you don't know
the stuff about Hong Kong,
I even have a Hong Kong employee.
Well, thank you, thank you for making me feel better.
Oh man, you're not supposed to make Ben feel better.
I don't know about that.
Don't listen to him.
I'm sorry.
But yeah, I appreciate you guys having me on and thanks for hosting it and putting on
this good broadcast.
Yeah, this is an exciting broadcast and thanks so much for calling in. We love Pastor Reyes so much
He's gonna be at the FBBF
Fire Breathing Baptist Fellowship in August. It's like the 28th through the 31st
You got to check it out. Sunday morning. He's gonna be preaching a fire sermon in Spanish. So I
Caliente you want to make sure you're there Pastor Reyes
We love him down there in Houston. And so you got to check him out spring crest Baptist Church
Thanks for calling in, Pastor Reyes.
Thank you guys.
You guys have a wonderful evening.
Yeah, have a good rest.
Hope you feel better.
We got another caller.
Let's see if we can bring on Ralph or Rafael.
I'm not sure how you, what he goes by here.
Hey, brother, Rafael, how's it going?
Doing pretty well.
How about yourself, Pastor Shelley?
Doing great.
So is it, is it, is it Rafael or Ralph or what do we call you?
Ralph, preferably. Okay, great. Where are you from?
Oh, that's Texas. Nice. I'm from the Panhandle, so I kind of familiar with that area a little bit.
And I think you said that your church ended up participating in some soul winning today. Can you tell us about it?
Yeah, I go to Homeland Baptist Church in Midland, Texas, just a town over, and we had a soul winning marathon from Thursday to today.
We had on average 25 out today. We have 30 and we got 16 people saved total
Nice, that's great. Oh, you said it was homeland Baptist Church Midland, Texas
Home home line home line. I'm sorry
I'm gonna add that. I'm gonna add that to our sheet and we'll give them a shout out home line Baptist Church
Midland Texas they had 30 so winners out 16 salvations. That's that's awesome and
It's Lord. Do you have any you have any stories or testimonies you want to share with us? I?
Guess just one. It's not too interesting. There was this
I was with my youth pastor. I was a silent partner and
Bozo, taking up a lot of time, just, he was, you know, believed in repent of your sins,
and he was like, y'all guys don't, like, I know way more about the Bible than y'all.
I'm a Bible scholar, and just, just speaking a lot in nonsense, made it interesting though.
Well, that's great. It's great that your youth pastor is out there going so on with you guys
I went to a church once and I tried to get the youth pastor going me multiple times and he just kept having an excuse
So that's that's impressive that he's going out there. Shout out to the Midland Odessa area. That's a gas land right there gas country
Panhandles the Panhandle planes and I grew up in the Canyon, Texas area. So the Amarillo Canyon
So we definitely I'm definitely familiar with the Panhandle, but
Thanks so much for watching the show and and checking us out. Thanks for calling in Ralph
Yeah, thank you for having me. God bless. God bless. Oh
Thank you. Yep
So let's go real quick and I want to get some more thoughts from Pastor Thompson. Let's go back to our
Sheet real quick and we'll kind of walk through. So I think I yeah, I got the Detroit and
We also have Winnipeg, which this is a pastor Jim Weeb's church. Is that correct pastor Thompson?
Remind me the name of his church again
Fortress Baptist, that's right fortress and which province is that in Pastor Shelley? Let's test your Canadian knowledge. I
Think it's like
Ontario is it on toba? Oh, it's manitoba. Yeah, it's okay. Um, do you say monotoba?
I don't even know this man. It's a man. Ah, yeah. Yeah. Manitoba manitoba
Winnipeg. That's what should I say you he also has a Calgary group
Yeah
So, okay, and there is that like two different bunch of guys over there. Is that like two different churches?
Or is that just another soul winning group?
that's a that's like a soul winning group that he's hoping to turn into a
church plant at some point but right now they
Or kind of like a yeah, like a soul any group that he okay
Leads that they kind of have they're like about 20 people. I think go in there. That's great. Um a lot of Filipino
Guys that are going there and yeah, they're very zealous
Did the Philippines are gonna take over the world? Alberta?
Yeah, no actually, um, so they moved from the Philippines there, but
they
They're in Alberta, Canada.
Alberta is kind of a more conservative part of Canada also.
So it's kind of, it's like maybe three hours south or three and a half hours south of Edmonton.
So, I mean, we're not real familiar with Canadian, you know, places, but I'm sure we can.
Well, our staff is begging the Rocky Mountains. Our staff is begging for the Canadians to come
Join us on the air. So if we can get past our weeb or someone to come aid, don't you know, we got we got money salvation day
I'm not gonna comment
We also got another person on the line we've got pastor Dylan Oz
The man himself from Oklahoma calling in let's get him on the line
Pastor Oz or should I just call him awesome? How's it going?
Hey, good to hear from you guys. How's it going doing great? How about you guys?
Good it's definitely stereotypical Oklahoma weather today a little tornado. We wins and cold and rainy
But it was a great day. We had 17 slow winners and 15 salvations
Even with the kind of dreary day, so we're praying Lord for that. Dude, that's awesome
I already shouted out like if you can get pretty close to the same number of salviations as soul winners
That's a pretty epic day. And so
definitely props on 17 and 15. That's some great numbers and
We definitely miss the Oklahoma fellowship up there
Yeah, yeah, we're thankful for the receptivity here and we tried out a new area
We haven't really hit much of the eastern part of the Metro
But we did that today and it was great. We it was kind of interesting. I was wondering if the roads were going to be all crazy because
Former president Bill Clinton was actually in downtown. Okay, see today today's the
30th anniversary of the okc bombing, but no one wants to really hear that weirdo talk
So roads were good and yeah, so one thing was good, but we miss you guys, too
Well, you you need to make sure even on an overcast day
That you wear some sunscreen because that albino skin will sometimes get you
Yeah, I wish that yeah exactly that's for sure
Yeah, everyone wants to talk about white privilege until they see me putting sunscreen on my scalp. So
They could hold their peace. Oh
man
Ben do you give us some shout out to your to your friend here pastor Oz?
Pastor Oz
What's going on my friend? Hey, you're preaching both services, Ben. I know sorry. All right
That was that was all just a ruse. You know, it's just entertainment for the live stream
I knew that the whole time. Come on. Okay
I just got to tell the viewers a funny story real quick about me and my great friend Ben here
Ben, you ready for this? Let's go
All right, so me and Ben are both ardent lovers of aviation. We love airplanes and left-flying and me and Ben
Went to an air show one time and of course
I'm just enthralled with these great World War two aircraft and these cool fighter planes and all these great stuff
And what has been doing then is standing in line
For over an hour to go look at a Boeing commercial jet now
I don't know if that's just his Middle Eastern background or what
But I just thought that that was funny that that's what
It was a FedEx plane
And it was really cool. Mm-hmm. He was just doing some recon. Yeah for the next. Yeah, it's for the next event. He's like, ah
memories
He was just thinking about his cousins
Was this was this near September when y'all went I don't know the suns it was around September
Man
He was trying to figure out where to hide his passport so that so that all the jet fuel in the plane could be destroyed
But the passport would be preserved
They could find it Lebanese passports are indestructible. They literally are
Commission report they literally are so
Maybe it's like a magic carpet
Passport where it just kind of flew down gently or something like that,
just waiting for its master to come pick it back up.
Oh, man.
Well, thanks, thanks, Pastor Ross for contributing that.
I think the show definitely could not have continued unless you told that story.
Well, we definitely
Yeah, we might just have pastor all's called back in and just tell more Ben stories
Like that like that like the time when I like the time when I was very rude to you when all you did was say Merry Christmas
Oh man, I'm gonna leave that cliffhanger for another day.
No one's gonna know what that is, it's all right.
All right.
No, on a serious note, I really appreciate you,
Pastor Oz and the friendship that we,
I was gonna say that we had, but we still have it now.
It's just long distance.
It's over.
It's a long distance.
It's over, folks.
The friendship's gone.
Everyone knows better.
I'm excited about Anchor Baptist Church
and talking to Cameron the other night.
It seems like, you know, based on what he was saying, man, things are going great up there and he's very excited
about how the church is going now and also
looking forward to the future as well. So just can't wait to see how God uses
your church, Pastor Oz, and all the great works that you'll get to accomplish here up there in Oklahoma.
Thank you. Praise the Lord. It's definitely an honor and privilege to be up here.
You know, one thing I have to say about that...
One thing I have to say is that I actually really appreciate that Cameron is now Pastor Oz's member,
so I do also appreciate that a lot and it's definitely great.
So shout out to Brother Hall and shout out to Pastor Oz.
What's that supposed to mean?
I don't know, but you know, I definitely am really appreciative of Pastor Oz and he gets to take on all the challenges in Oklahoma, so
Shout out to Pastor Oz. Hey, if you're anywhere in Oklahoma, you got to go to Oklahoma City and you got to check out Anchor Baptist Church
It's as easy as ABC and you want to go out there and support them. We love them
They are a great church and they're still our friends.
This is this is an incredible record that he's setting.
And so we're excited about that.
But thanks so much, Pastor Oz, for calling in any last words before we let you go.
No, I appreciate it.
And Pastor Thompson, I didn't get to talk to you much, but
love you, Pastor, and you all take care.
Hey, what were the?
Hey, hold on. Hey.
Hey, son, what's up?
Sorry, I was looking at my text messages.
I'm sorry about that.
But uh, hey, I hope you have a happy Easter. Give the girls a squeeze for me and uh, I will jazzy I said hi
Love you guys. Okay. Happy Easter to you guys too. Love you too
What were the numbers white what is hey, you know, you know, it's cool is that some even though
There's some people that have a lot of family drama when it comes to serving God
It's also cool to see some people serving God together with their family
So and you know, it is a family affair in the Bible. You got James and John brothers
They get to serve God together Andrew and Peter get to serve God together
And so not everybody even David it's kind of like David's whole family is kind of like his mix of like mighty men
And so, you know, some of them are kind of rough jobs, kind of rough, but like, at the same time, like a lot of David's mighty men are related to him.
And so, you know, it's kind of special when you get to see people who are related serving God together and doing the work of the Lord.
And so you got to love that pastor Thompson and brother Oz connection there, Pastor Oz. So shout out to them.
Yeah. And I wanted to mention 17 soul winners.
for Pastor Dylan Oz and Anchor Baptist Church, 15 salvations for him and his church. So that is
really great to see.
They've got good camaraderie up there.
When you go visit, it's certainly a tight-knit group.
They are a family, and it's always a lot of fun.
So if you ever find yourself in the Oklahoma City area,
I would highly recommend checking out Anchor Baptist Church.
I wanna shout out some of the chat before we lose it
because you never know if you lose it,
but OSAS 2001 says,
can't wait to see a church planted in Detroit.
And we got Corbin Russell in the comments. I think we even got him on the line.
He definitely has a heart for the Detroit area. I think he's from that part of the country.
Let's see if we can bring on good old turkey collar. Corbin Russell, how's it going?
I'm doing good. I didn't I didn't expect the uh, but what's the turkey thing about is that is that a reference to the old sermon or something like that?
Well, I was just curious. I mean
Do you do this old hour? Is this how you like rally the troops for soul winning is you just do the turkey call or what?
I you know, I'm just gonna let you wonder about that. I'm not entirely sure I want to
Reveal that is this like a secret that have tuned in, you know, it's my first time on the big time. Oh, okay
You know I want to
I don't want to let let my uh, my uh, you know my guard down too much here. So anyway
It's great to be here. Thanks for having me on
Dude, you have like an epic turnout 65 soul winners
25 salvation tells about this. Yeah. Yeah. So obviously, um, I know faithful word
This is all kind of last minute that was rolled out this year for my understanding
We were finding out like 10 days before the event and we were happy to participate and I know faithful word
Uh, wasn't, you know, didn't jump in on this one year this year on paper, maybe, but they
showed out in force down at straight paths in Tucson.
So, uh, we had people from Tempe coming down and bands and driving themselves down there
to shut.
So just a shout out to everybody from FAPO word, so appreciative of everybody coming
down and helping us knock a lot of doors.
And uh, yeah, so we had, uh, we just had a lot of folks from FAPO workshop.
We're from Tempe so it was great to feel out of the old faces a lot of the people
We know up there come down and then of course we had you know
Some of our own members make it out and we went out and we knocked a lot of doors
And we saw some some salvation says the result go figure. That's great
So the chat says they're not sure if you called in or Trump called in
I don't drop. Yeah, they're baiting me. Yeah, they're baiting me in to do a truck impersonation
Can you just give us like a 10 second soundbite or something? You can't you can't do these things when you're put on the spot
You know, it's it's harder to do. Yeah, I hear you. I'm sorry. Sorry to disappoint. I hear you
You just got to show up on the surface animals. Oh
He's not a sir. I'm gonna use that next time somebody's like, hey, do this accent, you know
You know what sometimes you have to perform when you're called. That's the only one I get
Yeah, you know, dance monkey dance is what I hear from people.
Well, I just like to put people on the spot.
Yeah, well, you're succeeding. You're doing very well.
I'm glad I'm on the phone and not on the camera so you wouldn't see how red in the face I am.
So embarrassed right now.
Well, next time you don't have an excuse. You've had enough time to think about it.
So next time you're going to have to just go all out.
Yeah, I'll have a whole shtick for you. I'll get a whole just you know, lit me of impressions and jokes and we can just have a good time here
Pastor Russell's gonna be coming out to the fire breathing Baptist fellowship folks not August
28th through the 30th or 31st somewhere in there. I don't know that weekend to your conference
You got it. So just to be clear. It's the end of August. You gotta be there
No one is more excited to hear that news than myself.
Let me just say that.
I'm excited.
I wasn't sure.
I didn't know.
You know, I didn't know if maybe something had happened, so I've been waiting for the
call.
I got it.
I had to call you.
Well, now.
It's official.
We get people calling for you to do the Alex Jones impersonation.
Apparently, apparently Pastor Russell is a man of many talents and he's hiding all of
his talent.
Man, it's not that good of an impression. You really should just listen Alex Jones. That's what you want to listen to
You have a much better job of impersonating himself
Anyway, there you go. That's for the people there it is there we go. We got him. We got him has jumped up and down for you
Yeah, yeah, hopefully that appeases everybody
Oh, man, well, you know, that's what I've known for that. That's how people know me. You're the guy that does the turkey fall
You're the guy that does impressions. I guess no what they're gonna say
Jones over worse thing
Right. Yeah big time right is that that yeah, it's okay when I it's okay when I go to conferences and stuff
I have people coming up to me and be like, hey, you know, I
like McDonald's too
And I'm like great. I'm the McDonald's guy. I you know, it's fine. It is what it is
Yeah, there's worse things work for my friend. Yeah
What was that one I didn't get that one I said I'll get kicked out of the new IP if you tell my pastor though
Yes
You didn't hear anything on my pastor
I don't even know what you're doing. I don't like McDonald's in the corner like a rat like confided brother Ben
I like McDonald's too, but they said don't tell my pastor. Yes, that's why they're confiding in me. Yeah, I have
Like it's chemically engineered for you to like it. Like it's it's made in a lab
By scientists so that you would like it. I'm not gonna deny reality McDonald's tastes good
It's just it's just that we all recognize that it's not healthy food
Yes, just go watch out chicken nuggets are made
And you're probably at least stay away from those because that is a bizarre and there's nothing natural about that
If I perish I feel like a chicken nugget tree. There you go. They grow it on did they forgot to grow it on trees or something?
It's like a big rubbery gelatinous block of just like parts of chicken
And then it just gets it's like it gets crushed and rolled into like a like a fruit roll-up
Sounds delicious. I love fruit roll-ups. I like the way you describe it off
They scrape it off these huge drums and like these sheets and it's quite the process
It's very interesting, but when you're feeding, you know a
Seventh of the world's population, I suppose that's what you got to do as McDonald's
Well, you know enough about enough about McDonald's. Let's talk about the soul in it, huh?
It might be a good idea. Yeah
No one called no one's watching the show right now because of this if the temple zero debate
Oh Alex Jones were out if the temple zero debate
proved anything. It was that people care way more about food than where the location of the temple is.
So, sure. Now, folks, I did want to remind you that if you stay tuned, we'll be talking about the
temple tonight. So, make sure you keep watching. Oh, man. Well, it's been nice talking to you guys.
Oh, no. People said we're here for a good time, not a long time. Yikes. They're already done with the show.
Well, give us give us your last thoughts here. Do you have a story or something? Yeah, let's talk someone
So I want to give you some other numbers
We also serve six dozen donuts and 300 tacos from Juanitos today and Juanitos to the people that know
You wonder how did I get you know, how did I get so many people to come down and we're Baptist brother
We can eat so how did I get this many people to drive down to Tucson?
An hour and a half both ways 101 miles door-to-door from faithful word to straight pass
How did I get him to do it? You you appealed to them through the flesh. I offered Juanitos
Because we are living in the mecca of Mexican food here in Tucson
And they showed up in force though and an interesting story and I went picked up the food today at Juanitos
I got a guy saved that was loading the food whose name was Juan
The one guy is like a double epic. This is like the best story ever.
The chances were a million to Juan.
What are the chances of Juan?
He was not the only Juan at Juanitos today.
That's like a one out of a million story. I mean, you can't even make this stuff up
I mean, so shout out Alex ball says Juanito's exclamation mark
Mrs. Jojo the Baptist says it was delicious
and we don't know and this is the staple of
Great passive, you know, when we first started six years ago, this is how
we built this church. I mean, obviously, I'm a word of God in those things as well.
But, you know, between services and soul winning, we would go to one, you know,
so it was a nice throwback.
And yeah, so I guess I'm shouting out Juanito's more than anything right now, but is it wrong to like have
Juanito's restaurant in your church like in the foyer, you know, like not not in the sanctuary
But just like in the foyer. So like in between well, there's no need for it
There's no need for it here because one I'm I'm serving it so frequently, you know, and you
You know, like as I said, we are in the Mecca of Mexican food. You could throw a rock
Tucson and hit a great Mexican place to go eat. It's right up the road. Throw a rock and get a one.
You got to check out Tucson, Arizona
past the Corbin Russell.
He's on the straight path folks. The straight path to great Mexican food.
We are making his path straight in the desert a highway unto our God.
Amen, they're not eating locusts and wild honey out there folks. They're eating Juanitos, so
He's been holding back
On me. Amen. The power of the Holy Spirit and Juanitos
That's all you need. It's a wonderful combination. It's a delicious combination
I recommend it. Thanks so much
Pastor Russell for calling in or should I call him Pastor Alex? I don't know but shout out to
Straight Past Baptist Church and we look forward to seeing you at the Fire Breathing Baptist Fellowship
And then I look forward to being there and seeing you all too. God bless you guys. God bless. Have a good night. Thanks
Let's go back to our sheet real quick and then we got a lot of we got several callers. So I'm enjoying the conversations
We have Fortress Baptist Church Winnipeg are things last when we talked about 27 soul winners to salvations
Which look I mean Canada is definitely a difficult area
So that's that's great that they even got some salvations and Calgary actually has epic numbers
I mean they had 12 soul winners
13 salvations, that's really impressive. And I mean, again, if you've never been soul winning in
Canada, you just, it's a different type of environment for sure. And there's probably
pockets of receptivity over there. But just generally speaking, a lot of Canadians are just
not that receptive. And so, you know, great work to those that are going out there and reaching
the hard to reach places. North Dakota, you sent this to me, Pastor Thompson, is this just a soul
Um, it's just a soul winning group. They used to go to our church brother Nate
He went to our church to Spokane and he lives there now and so I just asked him if he would
Just go out so he goes out soul winning with our
Invitation I have special invitations that I make and send to them him and his wife and their children go out
I mean he goes to a church there, too
But like he just specially just did the state of North Dakota
Went out today, and they got a couple people stay so praise God. That's awesome
So and then we've got home line home line Baptist Church
We had brother Ralph call in from Midland, Texas. They had 30 so winners go out there
16 salvations and then
Chicago is this is this part of the your church playing like some of the guys from your your church out there
Yeah, and um, also a church in Indiana. Um, that is, is friendly with us. It's an old life beat church up there, but, uh, brother bat, Brad, uh,
apparatus, I mean, I just call him Pappy, but, you know, everybody knows what Brad is, I'm sure, but happy, happy and Jared it. Yeah. And Jared, brother Jared edge.
I think he was up there and, um,
A.J. and Uriel and all those guys, brother Elieude, but yeah, it was part of our Indian
apolis church, sent a bunch of people to, and so they kind of led that mission up there.
So yeah, they had several people saved, 24 people saved with 15 people, so a great effort
out there.
I don't think I'd put the Sure Foundation North Surrey
into the sheet, let me.
Yeah, I just got that.
Let me add this.
I think we even have,
I think we have Brother Wynn on the line.
Let's bring Brother Wynn on the line,
and we can, I'm gonna add it to the sheet right now.
Brother Wynn, how's it going?
That's pretty good, how are you, Pastor?
Doing great, thanks for calling in, how'd it go today?
Yeah, it was all right the first neighborhood we went to was terrible
it was uh, it was like just full of liberals and
Yeah, it was way too nice like everything was manicured and
I got I got yelled at I got yelled at by a guy with a PhD. Oh man
Because he was really upset about us voting for Trump and getting rid of USAID programs, so
That's a whole layer of this. I asked him if he was upset about the the tranny programs being defunded
And he told me I was a misinformed. So
We stayed there for about 45 minutes and then we and then we went to neighborhood
And we just kind of bailed and and then we got we ended up getting five salvations today
So it was actually pretty good by the neighborhood was
Pretty receptive we kind of split up one team went to like a completely different location and
Yeah, we're we're in Bellingham by the way
We did that's awesome. Which is wash
Which is Washington State
Because we're just kind of tired of Solanian Surrey, to be honest.
Right.
And maybe our respective, it is down in Bellingham.
So yeah, it's actually pretty good.
That was a good day for us this year.
Well, you just got to go where the spirit blows. That's a that's a hymn that we have and
Sometimes you never know what you're gonna expect when you go out soul winning and it's great to just you know
Sometimes shift with the winds and if it's not working one area
Just let the Holy Spirit guide you somewhere else and so great testimonial that hey
Sometimes when you go out so many you might just find a rotten spot
And if you're willing to just adapt make a change you go somewhere else
and find where the fish are biting and go out there and get someone saved and so even Peter
struggled to catch fish at times and so that's a great testimonial brother win. It's been a while
since I've been up there so it's great to see that you're steadfast, that you're not just being
carried about of every wind of doctrine up there and you guys are you know keeping the good fight
and going soul-winning and you know it's great to hear from you calling in.
Yeah, yeah, and yeah, it was it was a good time. I'm glad to make the mega marathon is back
Yeah, hopefully we can make a big one next year. So thanks brother win. Thanks for calling in. We got a lot of callers
So we're gonna probably just start cycling through hopefully we can keep it
somewhat short, but I want to go back to our sheet and then and then we'll try to bring in some more callers here
So we got sure foundation Baptist Church Surrey. They had 13 and 5 so it looks like just so far and again
I need to recount this church totals number actually
Now that I'm looking at this, let's say we got one, two, three, four, 17, 20, 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, 34.
So we got churches plus soul-winning groups, about 34 participants so far.
And we have about 587 soul winners, 711 salvation.
So wow.
Wow, that's a great work.
That's great.
you know, that's really exciting to see a lot of people going out there. Praise the Lord.
Doing something right before Easter. And of course, you know, this is,
this is not necessarily just a one-time thing. We go soul-winning all the time.
And if you want to go soul-winning, even if you missed today, you were sick, you just found out
about it, you know, reach out to us. We'd love to get you in contact with one of these soul-winning
groups or one of these soul-winning churches and you can get into the action. You can go out there
by preaching them the gospel and getting them saved.
We've got a really cool story about soul winning today
with some cops and I want to share that
with about me and brother Ben.
So, you know, if you're tuning in live,
you want to stay tuned because we're going to bring up
our epic story, me and Ben, cops.
Dodging bullets.
It was a fight.
It was incredible.
So you want to hear it.
So just hang on folks, okay.
But we got a lot of the cops in show before you do it though. Yeah, bad boys bad boys for the story
We got to get some bad boys in there. I got a rap sheet now. We'll be called
We'll be called worldly and hypocritical. There'll be a video next week. We're we that's sure that's okay
Well, don't worry. I'm sanctified so I don't have to actually reggae though
It's reggae, so yeah, we're good. Well, I'm already sanctified, so it doesn't matter
Let's go. Let's go to Frank. Let's got we got Frank from Auburn go Frank. I
Need your help. Hey, gentlemen doing tonight. Hey Frank. How's it going your help Frank? Oh?
Very good. Very good. What do you need my help with?
It's an inside joke. Go ahead. Go ahead. Okay, no problem at all. No problem at all. Sorry about that. Um, yeah, I went out today
with I normally go out with a couple usually teenagers from my church that they're trying to learn how to soul in and they're gonna be going off to
Bible College in the next couple of years, but with them we were we saw two salvations
actually African immigrants and let me just say this the African immigrants here in Maine
are extremely receptive to the gospel the one thing is apparently they bring over the like
charismatic feel from from where they are whether it's the Congo um I think and I'm trying to think
of all the other countries I think Sudan the Congo Somalia they they bring over a lot of
charismatic so they tend to go to the Pentecostal Vineyard type churches and that's who I was
but I just kept on showing them verse after verse after verse about eternal
security about you know not believing in their works you know they just kept on
going back to well you could can't you lose it if you do something bad if you
sin you know can't you lose your salvation and not go to heaven so I had
to keep on going back to that
But then finally they both got it the guy who I led to the Lord. He's 23 years old
He got it before I don't know if it's his cousin sister. I didn't know the relationship there
But then she finally got it and it was like I both was I was able to lead them both to the Lord and stuff like that
But it's even though they're they're very receptive
They come in with a lot of preconceived notions
I guess from, I don't know.
I've never been over to Africa,
but I'm guessing it's a lot of charismatic,
Pentecostal, vineyard type churches over there.
So maybe you guys know better than I about that,
but I will say one thing.
In Maine, we have a lot of African immigrants,
very receptive to being given the gospel.
Did you go, now, is this part of your church group,
or just you just went out with somebody,
like a partner by yourself, or?
Well, I go out every week, I check in with my pastor at my church and I say, you know,
I'm planning to go soul-winning, so I try to gather some people from the church.
And usually it's a couple of teenage brothers, they, one of them may go visiting with the
pastor and the other two will come with me to go soul-winning and then their parents buy
But they want them they want their kids out soul winning and since they know I so when they're like, oh, you know
We want them with Frank to make sure you know
They're learning because they're gonna want to go to Bible College and eventually be a pastor. I'm like, you know
I don't know, you know for me
It's like I I kind of just learned by listening to the preaching like you guys and reading my Bible
But it's um, it's just we just go soul-inning for the church every Saturday a small group
I'm trying to get more people what's what's the church name you want to plug you want to plug the church name?
Yeah, so Calvary Baptist Church of Turner, Maine. It's
South Central Maine, you know, if you know where Auburn and Lewiston are that's the biggest
That's the biggest population area, but it's like
It's 75 miles away from the main New Hampshire border.
Help me with that again, Calvary Baptist Church.
What's the location again?
Turner, Maine.
All right, so we're gonna promote that.
Okay, cool. It's funny you mentioned Jared Edge because he came out here a few months ago and him and I went soul winning and
We were able to lead a couple people to the Lord then so that was pretty cool and stuff like that
I know he's doing great stuff and he goes to the he goes actually to your church
Um, every so often Pastor Thompson sure foundation Indianapolis goes soul winning with all those guys there
So, you know, that's great. We're goes every little by little
How many soul owners did you have today? It was it was myself and two
teenagers so great together three of us so I added I added you to our sheet
then and so we got Calvary Baptist Church Turner main brother Frank if you
or anywhere in that area you got to check out that church and go soul-winning
with brother Frank so he's helping add to our totals today
You know, I definitely you know, I love what you guys are doing this idea of the mega marathon. It's awesome
And you know, I mean, it's just
People need to just get out there and go soul-winning it. Amen. It's it's not that bad out there here in Maine
Yes, we're very liberal
But you know, there are people that are willing to hear the gospel
I mean, you know a lot of people talked about how you know, we we can't have the African immigrants
And whatever people think about immigration, whatever,
but they are so receptive to the gospel.
So if people know French and Portuguese,
you could do a lot of good here in the state of Maine.
Well, thanks so much for calling in Frank
and we shout out to Frank and me.
Thank you.
Thanks for calling in.
Thank you Frank.
You're most welcome.
We're glad that you support the show.
We're gonna go, we got a lot more callers
so we wanna keep them pretty quick
but we've got brother Pringle,
brother Brandon Pringle from Detroit.
We wanna get a testimonial from how it went out there
in Detroit.
I know this brother Brandon usually leads a group out there.
Hey brother Brandon, how's it going?
Hey, how you guys doing doing great. Thanks for calling in. How'd it go today?
Pretty good pretty good. We got three salvations
The crazy thing is that we were out there with an infant a toddler and a preschooler
So we just wait until they start getting fussy or whatever, but it went pretty good
That's awesome
Where you know the Detroit group y'all just kind of like a like a soul-winning meetup or something
Can you tell us a little bit about that?
Yeah, so basically we just I guess first that first marathon that a pastor Thompson started I think back in
2022 or whatever we just been meeting up and just hitting neighborhoods in Detroit and getting people saved
I think, I think I saw a picture of you guys
out there soul winning.
I wanna see if I can find it or not, maybe not.
I definitely feel like I saw one out there,
but I can't find it.
So, but maybe someone can send it to me.
Shout out to the Detroit group
and soul winning out there, brother Brandon.
If you're anywhere in the Detroit area,
Detroit's a really receptive area.
So you definitely wanna get hooked up
with some of our soul winners
because there's a great opportunity
to go out soul winning out there.

I'm not I'm not gonna lie that looks that looks pretty solid like I think that that could be really good
Like I haven't tried it, but obviously it just looks you know
Here's my like I think that pizza is one of those things where you can kind of look at it
And you can kind of see, like, okay, this actually looks legit.
Whereas some pizza you kind of look at and you're like, eh, it's kind of sketch.
Like, usually I feel like Pizza Pass is the look test.
So, thanks so much, Brother Brandon.
Thanks, Brandon.
After Russell wouldn't let us go anywhere else.
Once we ate at Buddy's, this pizza place, like, literally, there was no other place we were allowed to go.
And I just was like, cool.
So you can't even do Juanitas?
Oh, you're saying in Detroit?
In Detroit. Yeah, it's like this is buddies. This fulfills the profits. What is it? What is it?
It's buddies. It's called buddies, but once you become buddies, there's no, there's nowhere to go.
I mean, hey, for sake, not your friend, right? For sake, not your buddies. Mm-hmm. So if you got buddies, then you just don't go anywhere else.
Yeah, this is for the profits Brandon. Thank you for is he still on I think he I think we dropped well if he's listening

they went out and just got a bunch of people saved.
Shout out to Pampanga.
So we got a lot of great stuff. Let's we'll go through the numbers again real quick
Steffas Baptist Church, we had over 100 soul winners.

Anchor Baptist Church, Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
We had 17 soul winners, 15 salvations.
Shout out to Pastor Oz.
Philippines, 13 total.
churches involved in this. Pastor Matthew Stuckey, he joined us earlier in the show
for a few minutes. He's probably preaching right now. And he had 183 soul winners,
471 salvatians, folks. That is incredible. Praise God for that one. Pastor Kevin Sepolveda
in Australia. He's got a few churches there, three churches participating, 25 soul winners, 17
Hong Kong, we had two Filipinos over there
getting six Filipinos saved, sounded like.
Dubai, five sole winners, 10 salvations.
Sure Foundation Baptist Church, Vancouver, Washington.
Shout out, Pastor Thompson.
24 sole winners, 10 salvations.
And look, that is a good number,
because Vancouver, I guess you went into Portland,
but that whole area is a little bit more difficult
and so shout out to them.
Sure Foundation Baptist Church, Indianapolis,
seven sole winners, 15 salvations, incredible numbers.
They doubled, folks.
Sure Foundation Baptist Church, Yakima, 11 Soul Winners, 9 Salvation, Sure Foundation Baptist
Church, Seattle, 10 Soul Winners, 4 Salvation, Sure Foundation Baptist Church, Spokane, 11 Soul
Winners, 9 Salvation, Sure Foundation Baptist Church, Surrey, British Columbia, 13 Soul Winners,
Honestly, look, folks, at this rate, you don't even have to wait long.
There will be a Sure Foundation Baptist Church in your city pretty soon.
So it's pretty obvious with the numbers here.
And look.
How can you hate Pastor Thompson?
Look at this.
We've got Vancouver, Washington, Indianapolis,
Yakima, Seattle, Spokane, Surrey, British Columbia.
We also, he has a church plant
that has been come completely independent,
Pastor Toverner out in UK.
And I know that they're do so winning out there
and everything.
So, I mean, look at the works that Pastor Thompson's doing.
tons of churches, tons of soul winners, tons of soul winning, you know, you can't hate a guy
that's just doing all this. Plus, it's kind of been his brainchild. I know that we're doing the show.
Make no mistake, we're doing this because of Pastor Thompson
and a lot of people went out soul-winning
because of Pastor Thompson.
And so he's definitely a great leader.
Go back to the sheet.
I wanna make sure we finish.
Detroit, we've got eight soul-winners, three salvations.
We've got Fortress Baptist Church Winnipeg,
27 soul-winners, two salvations.
Fortress Baptist Church Calgary,
12 soul-winners, 13 salvations.
North Dakota Soul-winning Group.
Seven soul winners to salvation's home line Baptist Church Midland, Texas 30 soul winners 16 salvatians
Chicago soul winning group 15 soul winners 24 salvatians
Calvary Baptist Church Turner, Maine three soul winners shout out brother Frank. He called in two salvatians
So we have over 35 churches and soul winning groups participating
590 soul winners 713 salvatians look folks. This is the fall of the new IFB
It's a joke obviously I mean look at this
This is incredible numbers tons of people have been inspired to go out soul-winning and preaching the gospel shout out to pastor
Steven Anderson shout out to pastor Roger Meniz for spearheading a soul-winning revival in our country
and planning all kinds of churches and inspiring people to go out and preach the gospel and
rallying a bunch of troops. And look folks, we wouldn't be having this fruit that we're
experiencing right now without some of that really hard work that they laid the foundation
to. And so shout out to Pastor Stephen Anderson, shout out to Pastor Roger Meniz, shout out
to Pastor Aaron Thompson, and shout out to all of the people that have been out there
soul winning. You know, it's not one person. It's a whole group effort of us going out
I want to give you a second to comment and then I'm going to go some more calls here,
Pastor Thompson, but this is incredible. Even just last minute, I know this is last minute
and we're hoping to do even bigger numbers next time, but this is really great.
Yeah, I mean, I shouldn't have kept it a secret for so long. I was just going to have our churches
do it and just hope that it would kind of rub off, but I probably should have set something
I probably should have said something sooner, like I said, but we are going to plan for three or four months next year, and and actually do this, you know, full blown.
But this is just for throwing together at the last minute.
I mean, it's still a success to a certain, you know, it's obvious.
This is a huge success.
Anybody gets saved.
713.
I think more, more numbers will pile into because like some of the people like you said are, you know,
Probably didn't get their numbers in or whatever but
Yeah, I mean, I know the pastor minutes was out selling with his with his church today
And he just didn't have the the numbers handy to give to me
But I did message them and they were out selling today, too
Yeah, and I'm sure that's pastor mahiah and their church has probably got some stuff
If anybody has any of the numbers that I'm missing I would love to include them
Sorry to anybody I'm missing or skipping out on because I don't want it
I'm not intentionally doing that to people if you have something you can give us some
Uh, some information. Oh, I got one from, uh, West Virginia, West Virginia, uh, Jim Powell,
the Jim Powell and West Virginia had three salvations today. So at Parsons, West Virginia.
So add it to the list. Bam.
Look at that 716
Salvation the salvation numbers continue to pile in here 716 salvations total now for mega marathon
2025
So let's go and get to a caller that's been waiting for a while. Thanks for being patient with us
Brother Steven is calling in from Indianapolis. Let's see if we can bring him on the line
Brother Steven, how's it going?
Hey, how are you? Can you hear me? Yeah, doing great. Thanks for calling in
Yeah, absolutely. Thank you for having me on tell us how it went today. I
Went great. So I'm actually in Indianapolis, Indiana
We had seven so when I show up 15 salvage in total
The weather was up now on and off with rain, but so a really good turnout for soul winning. I was really happy
to go out and I was now really thankful for Pastor Thompson and Pastor Anderson for
time with this idea of mega, mega soul winning marathon. I think it's a really great idea.
Well, thanks so much for participating
and you guys did really good.
I mean, seven soul winners for 15 salvation.
That's some great numbers.
And so shout out,
especially if you have inclement weather like that,
because sometimes when it's raining,
it can be difficult to talk to people
or people to come out.
So shout out to that church plant.
This is a Sher Foundation Baptist Church,
church plant leader is brother Justin Zong
and Pastor Thompson is pastoring over that.
So you have any comments for us, Pastor Thompson?
Um, yeah, that church is doing really well. It's really receptive there, too
Like I mean you can see that seven solar 15 salvations
I mean and yeah, they were how I think they were having some kind of tornado warnings or some kind of flooding warning
I don't know. I can't I can't remember what he said, but he says oh thunderstorms
So and thunderstorms there compared to the ones we have here a lot more severe, but I just saw it in the chat
There's
The Bahamas, I don't know if that's for the Kenton or not, but
Nassau, Bahamas, one soul winner for salvation's.
So thanks so much for calling in brother Stephen.
And we really appreciate the work that you guys are doing out there.
And Stephen for calling in.
So God bless you.
Have a good night.
All right.
You as well.
So we got Brother Kenton
Nassau Bahamas another for salvation. So we're up to 720 720
Salvation and 20 salvations. We should have like a counter. We should have like a counter like on the screen or something
Like yeah, these salvations continue to roll in
We you know, this is this is just stuff we remember for next time, right? Yeah
Sanderson 1611 says see you in a couple weeks. We may not know the total number. I feel like Pastor Anderson's like a dual citizen
I think that he like part of the time lives in the Bahamas
So or I don't know it. Can you be a citizen of the ocean? Can you just be like an ocean citizen or something like that?
How does that work I think that they have some
So like so I'm sorry like the cruise cruises you can go on there are like a half year or a whole year
So how does that work? Are you like a citizen of nothing?
You're just a man of the land.
You're just the man of the sea.
That's an old book that I had to read.
I think old man in the sea.
So that's pretty funny.
Also pastor A is shout out to him.
He said last year, because their church is very small
and I think he was still just the kind of like
assistant pastor at the time.
They had 28 salvations for 2024, but he said so far
they've had 128 salvations for 2025 already.
So I mean, that's like a five times increase almost.
that's incredible. So shout out to Pastor Reyes and Houston and shout out to those that are going
to winning. I guess, oh, Pastor Anderson isn't banned from international waters yet. Oh man,
that would be rough. Oh man. How do you even get banned from water? I don't even know how that works
exactly. Hopefully they don't just throw you overboard. Let's not give them any ideas.
We've got plenty of more callers. I'm gonna try and get to you guys. We have brother Gabriel from Vancouver, Washington
Sure foundation Vancouver, Washington brother Gabriel. He wants to give us a soul any story. Hey brother Gabriel. How's it going? Oh?
It's going good
So tell us about what happened today
So it just went like regular, but it was a really nice day today
So not very many people were home
Uh, but the salvation I got was a little boy, his name was Dylan, and he was pretty hard
because, uh, about five or six.
Okay.
How old are you, Gabriel?
Twelve.
That's awesome. We've got we've got a 12 year old out there giving the gospel folks. This is incredible
Very cool Gabriel. So did you meet him at a park or is this out just door-to-door?
He was just playing his soccer ball
Yeah, you got stuck on the believing
believing part so I had to go to some other verses to get him
Really into it, but I got at first. I'm like, I don't think he's gonna get saved but
Then he got saved. I'm really happy with that
That's great. He we got Gabe really steadfast folks. He's not willing to just give up
He's got verses in his arsenal. He's he's going back and out there and preaching the gospel
Thanks so much for calling in and sharing that story with us. That's awesome buddy. Nice job Gabe. Oh
Yeah, my sister also has
Had a hard salvation. You can talk to her also. All right. What's her name? Oh?
Liberty Liberty. Hey Liberty. How's it going?
Hello, hey Liberty. How's it going?
Doing well how to go today
Yeah, I like it was on the second session almost to the last and I got a really hard one
Her name was true and she barely knew anything about Jesus. So I had to take her to multiple other verses
That's awesome
How old are you Liberty and I'm 14 awesome. That's great. How long you've been soul winning?
Brasile well for met for multiple years for like three
Because I got my first salvation in 2022, but I but my parents have been going so running ever since I could remember and
I'm and my parents always bring us kids with them just so that way
You know, so we're used to going so running and my parents have seven kids
That's awesome. That is awesome. Yeah
Well, I'm so glad that you guys called in and shared those stories with us and you know
I'm glad to hear that not only you've been to sewing today, but you've been sewing for a while
That is the Baptist bias. I'll tell you what if I've ever heard it
So thanks so much guys for calling in. It was great to hear from you. You'll have a good night
Great job. This is awesome. This is fantastic. This is a great show
It's great to hear young people getting involved the next generation going out preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ
That's an encouragement. That's inspirational. I love it. Yeah, I mean shout out to the kiddos
I mean whenever I first got saved at five
I remember trying to get my neighbor saved and you know, there's I'm sure I wasn't very good at it
But at the same time, you know
You can't send someone, you can't send someone to hell too.
So the worst thing you can do is just get them a little closer.
And so, you know, shout out to the kids going out there preaching the gospel.
And that was really encouraging to hear from Gabriel and Liberty.
Someone put in the chat, Liberty got true saved.
It's kind of a, it's kind of a cool thing to think about.
And starting out so winning young, what an incredible testimony.
Hey, you got some great church members there, pastor Thompson. So shout out to pastor Thompson. They're training their kids
They're training their kids to go up to be so on earth. And yeah
This is great. We take all the people take their kids out selling at our church and you know
Their wives go out selling and they go out selling. Hey, we've got another caller from Canada and
It's from our Calgary group. We got Jesse Roy
Hey Jesse, how's it going?
Pretty good. How are you guys doing doing great? Thanks so much for calling in being patient with us. Tell us how it went today
I was great. We had a
12 soul winners out 13th salvation praise God for that. It's nice
The blessing to be able with like-minded believers people better will the globe appreciate gospel
So definitely very thankful. Thanks for taking my call
Yeah, y'all did great. I mean, you know, Canada is not necessarily always known for being very receptive, but y'all had some great numbers
That's really inspiring to hear from you guys going out soul winning. So what's the weather like this time of year? I
Was actually pretty cold to start of a day. It was both
Six degrees Celsius. I think that's about like
40
40s Fahrenheit, but ended up being pretty nice towards the end of the day
The Sun was shining and warmed up to about 50. Yeah, both 50 degrees Fahrenheit, which was nice
Yeah, it was a blessing though and definitely thankful for the pastors out there who are no preaching the word and that's definitely thankful for Pastor Thompson
for ordaining pastor Jim we've up in Winnipeg there for to practice church
without the pastor Thompson doing that certain pastor and then as ordaining him
it would just be probably still be up here eating chips off my chest watching
online sermon so amen definitely a blessing yeah
Shout out to both those days
It's hard to know what's cold for Canadians
because one of the first times I met brother weep or past our weeb it was in
Minneapolis, Minnesota
So there was a there was a marathon in January and it was like the warmest day
They could ever have in January is 40 degrees and I was shivering and freezing and like dying
And I feel like Brother Weeb or Pastor Weeb and his son,
they were like wearing t-shirts and they were just like
having a good old time.
And I was just thinking like, what in the world?
Like what's cold to these people?
So it's good to hear there's another reasonable person
out there that thinks 40 degrees is cold
because I definitely resonate with that very much.
So shout out to Brother Jesse.
Thanks so much for calling in.
Thanks for the hard work you're doing out there.
Yep.
God bless you. You have a good night. Hey Pastor Thompson. I mean Pastor Thompson is just the star of the show folks
I mean look at this. I mean all these church plants see all of these soul-winning groups
I mean you want to know how I know Pastor Thompson is a great guy look at all this fruit
Look at all the people going out there getting people saved calling in shout out to Pastor Thompson and
We've still got some more callers
We might run through the numbers again one more time real quick, but successful show. What do you think about the stream been?
The Bible tells us even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit, but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit
We're seeing the fruit of Pastor Thompson's ministry
The church planting that he's done the lives that have been changed as a result of
Those church plants and in my mind that the kind of person who would hate
Pastor Thompson is just a wicked, do-nothing, loser, backbiting, weasel.
That's the kind of person that would hate on our guests tonight.
You look at the fruit, you look at the salvations, you look at the impact that has been made,
not just from him, but the other ministries.
Who fellowship with us and that took part in the soul winning mega marathon this year?
It'll be even bigger next year
But you look at the salvation numbers that we have so far
720 souls will go to heaven for all of eternity as a result of the work that went on today
If that doesn't get you excited as a Christian something is wrong with you. This is awesome
Amen. Yeah, scroll up to the top again. I mean tons of soul winners, five hundred and ninety three soul winners
720 salvations
Well over 35 different locations and churches participating
Tons and tons of people going out so many they praise God for that and I'm sure that there's plenty more
This is just what we have so far reported
Pastor Thompson your thoughts
I mean, I'm I'm pleasantly surprised and I mean, I'm not surprised. I mean, we're gonna eat you go out preach the gospel
People are gonna get saved and I'm just thankful for everybody just jumping in and and helping and
Appreciate you guys put on the show and and making it known. This is a positive show. I mean a lot of times, you know
I mean, there's been some negative shows lately and there's just been negative things going on here and there and
It's nice to have some positive stuff, you know, obviously, you know, we're gonna we're Baptist
we're gonna get some fights and people are gonna betray us and and hate on us and
I'm sure that even just over this they're gonna be like, no, but they're so winners, you know
So that means they can just be mean or whatever
Mean for the sake of being mean it's just like yeah, but when we get mad like challenge
When we get mad if there was this show and there's somebody like hey, we got 700 people saved we'll be like put their mean
I mean, like, what a lame response or whatever.
It'd be like, praise God, like, you know.
And hey, look, I know that there's plenty
of other churches out there doing soul-winning,
getting people saved, praise God for them.
You know, we're trying to inspire a lot of people.
And if there's people going out there
doing way bigger works than us, I want to hear about it
so I can congratulate them and get excited about them.
But, you know, we're just trying to highlight
that soul-winning works and get more people on board.
And look, we got plenty of callers calling in,
Brother Jesse, even admitting like,
hey, these people are inspiring me.
We have Brother Frank.
We have all these different people that are calling in,
talking about their inspiration
and what we're doing and helping people.
And of course, Pastor Thompson,
you know, don't underplay this.
I mean, you starting all these churches everywhere
and ordaining people and having a zeal for church planning
is making a difference.
And some have compassion making a difference.
Pastor Thompson's a compassionate guy.
He's a friendly guy, he's a loving guy.
You know, anybody that says he's mean
just doesn't know Pastor Thompson at all.
You know, and so I love Pastor Thompson.
I wanna get some of these comments in here
because, you know, for those that are just listening
or they didn't get to check the stream live,
Sanderson 1611 said, starting soul winning young, amen.
So that's a shout out to Brother Gabe and Sister Liberty
who were 12 and 14 going out soul winning,
getting people saved on the front lines.
We also had brother Alex Larson saying they did an Omi TV soul winning marathon online
and had a lot of people getting a lot of people saved.
They're still counting those numbers.
So we didn't even include that.
If they do get those numbers, they can share them.
Rosemary Himes said, Sure Foundation Palm Desert.
So no filter Baptist.
That's our boy in Nassau, brother Kenton.
He said, wow, these kids are so inspiring.
You know, we like to think of how we're inspiring kids,
but look, kids also inspire adults.
And let me tell you something,
if a 12-year-old can go out there and give him the gospel,
you adults need to go out there and give him the gospel.
You need to get plugged into soul winning.
Brother Gabe is an inspiration to us and his sister, Liberty.
And not just the men, even the ladies.
And look, our church has a lot of great ladies, soul winners.
In fact, I bet if we looked at just the people
that are producing the most out of our church,
there would be plenty of ladies in our top,
five and top 10 list. And so, you know, Steadfast Baptist Church has some serious soul-winning ladies.
Our ladies know how to talk, but you know what they do? They spend all their time talking to
people outside, giving them the gospel, not running their mouth online, railing and slandering about
people. So, you know, praise God for the ladies that use their gift of gab to get a bunch of people
saved and not just repeat a bunch of gossip and slander online. So, shout out to all of our lady
We got some more comments in here.
Rosemary Heim, the cloud of witnesses are praising God.
Like that comment.
We've got, hey, this has been great.
I love hearing about other soul winning experiences
from M. Schultz 2281.
So we've got another person loving this.
Ramon, new IFB, amen.
Brother Ben, Pastor Thompson is awesome.
Love those comments Sheila Jackson KGV 1611. We are so grateful to our pastor. There's another pastor Thompson
We've got miss Sherry. She's the best so pastor Thompson's wife shout out. We've got
Let's see
Springcrest
We got Corbin Russell if this is being mean then I don't want to be nice. I love that comment
Imshalt so mean trying to put people out of the pits of hell. Yeah, agreed
Beautiful Gabriel and Liberty.
We've got a lot of shout-outs to Brother Gabe
and Sister Liberty, so shout-out to them.
Tay Pharah 114, praise God.
Im Shultz, Pastor Thompson is awesome.
I think I said that one,
but we just need to say it again anyway, so.
Lots of shout-outs to Pastor Thompson.
Shout-out to the kiddos.
This has been a great show, Ben.
Yeah, and I want to give a shout-out
to Brother Ramon Ventura.
I think he's in the chat, maybe it's a different Ramon,
but he was so hospitable to me when I visited Faithful Word
and in the limited time that I spent with him,
I could tell that he's an awesome employee for the church.
So I just wanna give a shout out to him
and some encouragement to him.
Keep up the great work out there.
Faithful Word Baptist Church is an awesome church
and they have awesome people there.
And people will say like,
hey, there are a bunch of Kool-Aid drinkers there,
but if that's true, I wanna have some of that Kool-Aid
Church and shout out to Pastor Steven Anderson,
Fayford Baptist Church, Tempe, Arizona.
You gotta check him out.
Such a great inspiration,
such a great group of people out there.
And you know, a church is not just the pastor,
it's the group of people.
I love faithful word Baptist Church.
I got to go there for a couple of years.
I still know a lot of people in that church
and some great people there.
Teaser, we still got a cop story, folks.
We still got Brother Ben's running with the law
and Brother Ben knows how to smack down the law.
I'll tell you what.
So we're gonna get to that story here in just a second.
We also got another caller, Pastor Jim Wieb
from Fortress Baptist Winnipeg.
We want to hear him bring on Pastor Weeb. Let's go.
Hey, Pastor Weeb, how's it going?
Going great. Good. How are you?
Hey, Pastor. Yeah, it's going good.
Tell us about the day, Pastor Thompson.
Yeah, it's pretty good.
I heard from Brother Jesse there that
with the weather in Calgary, but we had it a little bit cooler this morning,
but warmed up during the day and
And, you know, so winning here in Mantua was kind of like pockets, sometimes it's receptive,
sometimes it's not.
You know, we had 27 sole winners, but that's kind of a deceptive number too, because it's
only seven teams.
We have a lot of kids going out with us, but we did manage to get two salivations today,
so that was good.
Hey, the kids still count brother Gabe and sister Liberty and of course we we understand that you know
Not everybody's gonna be a talker right away
But you know those silent partners help and you know the kids sometimes put people at ease and help them want to hear
The gospel so shout out to all the kids that are going out there soul-warning with their parents and shout out to pastor
Weeb up there in Winnipeg
You got any other stories for us?
Um, not really any stories, you know, I'm excited though, like, like we're talking
with the kids because for this next generation, it's going to be like normal going soul winning,
right?
They won't even think twice about going soul winning.
They're being brought up in it, right?
So it's really exciting to see what'll happen in the next generation.
Yeah, I love that.
That's great.
Great point.
And, you know, again, we're going to be raising a soul-winning army.
I saw some pictures, you had some impressive pictures out there.
So shout out to Canada.
I mean, Canada's really, you know, stepping it up and it's impressive to see the churches
and the works that's going on up there.
Oh, Canada.
So, I guess if we A&X it won't be too bad.
Hey, that'd be great.
Hey, as long as we get the same freedom, I'm for it.
But, uh, yeah, I just want to just say, like, if there's any other Canadians listening,
you know, that you don't have a, a new FB church in your area, if you want to do a soul
winning marathon, just reach out to us.
We'd be glad to travel and put something on.
So let's put that right there.
Thanks so much, Pastor Weeb.
And uh, Pastor Thompson, do you want to say anything else?
It's pastor we both say yeah, I mean, I don't I don't regret ordaining pastor we've at all and
he's doing great stuff and Calgary's doing awesome and
Yeah. Keep up to good work, man. I mean, I'm proud of you guys over there.
I have to get a witness. Pastor Weeb, do you remember the Minneapolis soul winning marathon?
This is like, I don't know, 2016 or 17s. Were you guys wearing t-shirts or am I just making stuff up?
Well, I mean, we were wearing our jackets, but I think we zipped them open because like the water was running down the street.
It was like warm for January.
Um, for us, right?
Like we were just like, wow, like Pastor Anderson was going to, you know, come out there, prove
a point that yes, you can go soul winning in winter.
And of course you can, but it just turned out to God bless the day and it was really warm.
And, um, I do remember, uh, you got a ride in our old beat up van there.
Yeah.
And, uh, I just remember asking you if you were taking preaching classes at that time.
You, you said, yeah, I was trying to convince you to come up to Canada, but of course
unsuccessfully, but.
Well, hey, God had a better plans, right?
So there we go.
Yeah, exactly.
Haha.
All right. Well, thanks so much pastor weeb. Y'all y'all have a great evening and a great Easter
Thanks so much for calling in love to love to
Pastor we've been yeah shout out to Fortress
Baptist church
We also got a comment in here maker 1611 shout out from
Nampa, Idaho
So shout out to makers much love to Nampa, Idaho. That's great
I don't know if we have any more callers on the line yet, but maybe we should get to our
cop story.
I know this is our much anticipated top story, Ben.
They came for you.
All right, so, you know, we're out there soul winning in Mansfield, Texas.
It's a kind of a sad day for Mansfield kind of embarrassing but
We're out there in the apartment complex and got some guy rolled up on me
And he's got some Karen on the line that's yelling at me
And so I just told the lady like look we're just going and inviting people to church. We're not soliciting have a good day
Not a few doors later
We're knocking on some door and the ladies kind of coming out meeting us and she's like I was talking to you on the phone
Wasn't I and I'm just like I don't know and she's like yes
I was and I mean this was the most Karen
of Karen's that I've ever seen.
I mean, this lady has the short haircut, the tight pants,
she's boss walking out there, and she's got an attitude,
and she didn't even take the card.
She didn't even take the invite,
but we just kind of walked away,
but I don't know, do you remember what we said, brother Ben?
Well, we didn't keep our mouth shut. That's for sure. It was it was difficult to do so, but she was like
basically calling us rude because we refused to obey her orders and that's when I said chapter and verse on
Because she said oh, I'm a Christian you know from one Christian to another you're being very rude
I said chapter and verse on where it says to prevent somebody from giving the gospel
Or does it say that you should kick people out if they're giving the gospel?
Where does it say in the Bible that you should stop somebody from giving the gospel?
And of course, that just made her more angry.
But eventually she let us go.
But that was because she was calling the cops.
Yeah. And we got a shout out.
Brother Jay Stu said, this must be Karen Zero.
So I guess we ran into Karen Zero out at the apartment complex.
And so we went out there.
The final boss of Karen's.
It might have been.
We just left her in the dust. She was kind of trying to tell us like oh, I'm a Christian
I'm not against you whatever and I'm just like obviously you're not a Christian if you're gonna try and get us a stop
Preaching the gospel and inviting people to church the day before Easter. Yeah, and she's just like oh, no, whatever
She's just arguing well either way we just kind of was a word
I wish I could use on the year right now, but I won't well
Springcrest said what a wicked witch does it sound it sounds like that it right sounds like itch
Yes, or snitch.
something like this.
Something like this, but we will keep it easy.
If you asked Pastor Anderson, he would say to ask me.
So it's kind of like a vicious circle here, I don't know.
But we keep walking and knocking doors.
And then Brother Ben just says, hey, if you're talking,
like I'm gonna run interference or whatever.
And we kind of like, we kind of like anticipated
that cops might show up.
And that's exactly what happened.
But he ran into the door,
knocked the door of the lady's book Spanish.
So I just kind of stepped up there
I tried to start talking to her and she was really receptive. Her name was Beth Seda,
which was kind of interesting because it's a town in the Bible. Yeah. And so I was speaking with
Beth Seda and super receptive Spanish speaker, but she was really, she was really helpful. She even
like, you know, sometimes I can tell when they are really paying attention because they're like
trying to help me with words or help me with pronunciation or like just, they actually just
I'm not the best Spanish speaker by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm capable and so
Given her the gospel and I just kept hearing all these sounds behind me
And I kept getting nervous because I didn't know what it was
But then it was like a UPS truck and then then I saw Ben
He's like arguing with some Hispanic chick and yeah
I thought you were giving the gospel ever at first maybe no and then later like then she's on the phone
And then y'all were like talking it looked dicey, and I'm just kind of like all right
This is what I told her I said basically look
I'm not going to leave because you tell me to what did she say when she walked up she said hey I'm with the management of the apartment complex and also I work with the law enforcement in the area or something like that.
And she said basically look you know you guys gotta leave and I was like well.
You know, you're gonna get mad at me for saying this,
but I don't listen to people who work for apartment complexes
when they tell us to leave.
Each individual tenant has the right to refuse a guest
and you don't speak for everyone who lives here.
Amen.
So, you know, you could call the police if you'd like,
but I'm not gonna go just because you tell me to.
You know, if it comes down to it and the cops tell me to leave
or they're gonna throw me in jail or something,
I'll just go.
But typically, and here's why I have this attitude,
Every experience I've had over the last eight years
Dealing with cops and getting kicked out of apartment complexes goes like this
The apartment manager comes and tells you to leave I ignore them
Then they call the cops and the cops show up and I tell them what I'm doing and they just let me go
So of course I'm not gonna listen to the apartment manager
Because it's very possible that when the police actually show up. They're just gonna let me go
But that did not happen this time. So I'm just giving the gospel and
I kind of was trying to go quickly,
but I didn't like really change my presentation.
I still went through every point, made sure
she understood everything that I was gonna say,
and then she got saved, I gave her a Bible,
I showed her in the Bible like how to show
other people how to get saved.
So it's probably, I don't know, 10, 12 minutes,
something like that.
That's about a normal presentation for me.
I don't think it was much more or less.
I walk around the corner and then Ben's is just,
Basically got this Hispanic chick and they got two cops just breathing on me neck and two cops on me. I
At first I was kind of nervous because then Ben just he pulled out their guns. He started twirling in front of them
He's knocking their skulls actually. I said I said Alu Akbar actually yeah, but that didn't really work
Okay, sorry none of that happens. I walked around the corner Ben was over there. Yes
Lookin friendly. I mean he looked like the friendliest terrorist I've ever seen and
You know, I walked over there. I said hey, you know, we're leaving and they're like, okay
Well, that's fine. But you know since you hadn't left already
We have to give issue him some kind of a warning or to issue him a ticket or something
And I'm like no, no, we're just going we're leaving. It's not a big deal
We're headed out and then there's like no that would have been okay, but
because of the fact that, you know, he didn't just already leave, then we have to issue him this
this citation or something. And criminal trespass. And I'm saying like, well, look,
you know, we're not doing anything wrong here. We're not soliciting them. They're like, well,
the manager tells you leave, you have to leave. And I said, well, they don't have the authority to
for every apartment complex, the Supreme Court is already ruled on this particular situation.
Christians are allowed to go and invite people to church. It doesn't matter if the apartment
manager wants them to go. I said, this is no different than if someone at one of the residences
ordered Domino's Pizza. You can't just say, well, the apartment manager hates Domino's.
So Domino's just isn't allowed to deliver pizza to this person's door or something.
No, Domino's can go in there and get pizza to the person that ordered the food. And I said,
And the cops just looking at me just like,
I think he kind of realized I was making sense,
but he just didn't want to change his opinion.
He was doing whatever his lady cop friend
was telling him what to do.
And so he's just like, well, you know,
the department manager, if they tell us
that we have to issue this, you know,
trespass warning and we have to issue it or whatever.
And I just basically told him like, hey, this is wrong.
And he's like, well, no, no, we actually agree.
We're Christian.
We, we like, we understand what you're saying. And I said, no, Jesus Christ said,
all power is given unto me in heaven and earth. I said, Jesus gives me the authority to be here
and preach the gospel. You obviously don't care about that. You obviously want to violate that.
You're not doing what the Bible said. And you know what? You should be shamed for what you're
doing. And he didn't really like that. And he's just like, well, we're just following orders
And then finally the cop just kind of walked away because he was just like he didn't know what to say
He didn't want to talk to me. I think I was I was way more controversial than Ben Ben's over here
Just like smiling having a good time
I'm over here just like screaming at the cops and then they're just like well, we're gonna give Ben
I was trying to do a soft answer turn it the way wrath it'd be nice and weird because it's like Ben isn't talking to anybody
Yeah, Ben's just minding his business. I'm actually talking to the residents
I am giving them the gospel like if anybody's trespassing it's me more than anybody. I'm over
here just yelling at the cops telling them like they're Nazis and just you know what you're doing
is wrong and you're not Christian and they should be shamed and it's embarrassing. I'm like give me
your badge right now because I'm going to complain to your manager and so this guy gives me his card.
I don't know if you probably can't see that very well. I'll just read it. A. Giannoli. I don't know
Sergeant, or what is this, I don't know,
it's police officer, A. Giannoli,
number 355 Mansfield Police Department.
So if you want to, oh, it's Anthony.
So it's Anthony Giannola.
Mansfield, Texas, if you want to, you can write an email
to the Mansfield Police Department,
copy the chief of police, and say this is embarrassing.
You guys don't honor the Constitution.
You guys are shameful for trying to stop people
from inviting people to church the day before Easter.
And you know what?
I'm actually getting pissed.
This police officer should be taking a task on this,
because look, it's not right.
And we shouldn't allow them to garbage.
He had his lady cop.
Let me see, I think I had her name as well here.
This gently led cop shows up and kicks us out.
Officer Shelton, and I think that was her last name,
but Officer Shelton and Giannola,
they are an embarrassment.
to our country how many drug dealers and murders and just thefts and all kinds of stuff are happening
but we have to make sure that Christians can't invite people to church the day before Easter folks
I mean this is sad and you know it's a mockery of our Constitution disgusting we have the first
amendment and you know what this is shameful and we need to call it out do you have your pink slip
show the proof I have the receipt I have the receipt but let me just say before I show it give
I was trying to be kind, but the thing is I also did express very strongly
that I completely disagreed with what they were doing
and that I had the biblical authority to preach the gospel to every creature
that the Lord Jesus Christ is who I answer to, not them.
I did tell them I was gonna leave because, again, I didn't want to escalate the situation.
We were done anyway.
It was about time for us to leave regardless, but...
I was, you know, communicating that I did not agree whatsoever with what they were doing,
and I do believe that what they did is wicked as hell.
And I'm not an anti-cop person, but what they did, these two police officers and the
apartment manager, was wicked as hell in a world that is overrun with evil and sin and
The thing that rattles the cage of this pig this this wicked apartment manager
This Karen the final boss of all Karen's was that Christians were handing out
Invitations the day before Easter that is repulsive, and I do have the receipt ladies and gentlemen here we go
He got the pink slip. He got this is this is this is a criminal incident
Criminal citation right here for helping pastor Shelly get Bethsaida saved
But you know what praise God for brother Ben running interference, you know
How many people are willing to get criminal trespass and talk to cops and harass just so other people can get saved?
I mean Ben's never met Bethsada in his life. Alright, that's just annoying, right?
Ben's never met this lady in his life
and he's willing to be harassed by cops
just so she can get saved,
just so she doesn't go die and go to hell.
He may never see this person again
and they wanna call us mean all day
and say that we're just these Kool-Aid drinkers and whatever.
But you know what?
Who cares about all the accusations
because you know what,
Bethsaida is not gonna go to hell.
Bethsaida got saved the day.
And you know when I asked her,
I said, hey, what I showed you is different.
Did you change your mind?
And she said, yeah, it's really different.
And yes, I did change my mind.
She was, you know, definitely believing in work salvation
because of all the lies of all the false prophets out there.
And of course they're not getting harassed by cops.
But you know what, praise God for Ben.
What a great silent partner.
Going out there and taking one for the team.
Shout out to brother Ben.
Thanks.
Bam! That's right.
But hey, we got more salvations later that day
in the second half of the day.
So.
You know, they're just, they're just lucky that Ben didn't have any tic-tac-toe or any connect four going on over there because they could have been messing with the wrong ombre.
They don't know it could have blown up.
It was fun. It was fun. I'll tell you that.
Pastor Thompson, what do you think?
I think that's just pissed me off just even listening to that because I mean cops do that to us here a lot
Like in Texas it probably doesn't happen that it's much to you guys. Maybe I don't know but like here
They we actually went through a streak where it wasn't happening so much, but like two weeks ago
We went to this complex and immediately I realized we were in some liberal hellhole because some
Karen
You know, Psycho path calls. I just started getting calls immediately as soon as we get to this complex and this lady's like these kids. It was those kids that called in earlier to the show.
We're knocking on my door for a half an hour and said I was sending people to hell because of my doormat. It was a fag, obviously.
but nobody knocks on someone's door for a half hour. I mean, I get calls all the time from
apartment managers even after the weekend. And anytime they ever tell us we can't come back and
all this stuff, I always call them back. And then I'm always nice.
And when they say, I can't do something, then I always bring up very nicely the things that you guys brought to their attention to and then immediately they freak out because they think that we're just these doormats that have to roll over and do whatever they say.
And then they start getting huffy and puffy, but I had there was a fag that was another fag at that complex.
I mean, it was like a few fags that were just, you know, totally going psycho.
Brother Temmo, who goes to our church, had this guy, he was screaming in his face.
He was threatening to spray his face with mace.
He spit at him, but not on him, while Temmo's giving this guy the gospel.
And even the resident that he was given the gospel to said,
I'm really sorry about this.
And then the faggot says, he says, don't apologize for me.
These people are evil.
And he must have known about our church or something
because he went around and ripped every single invitation
off the door of every door.
And then the apartment manager calls me
and he leaves a nice message to me.
and then I called back and then he was like nice until I just said yeah I mean this is what you
know the Constitution says and this is what you know our rights are with the Supreme Court ruled.
And then immediately he's like, Oh, that's how you're going to talk to me. Huh? That's how you're going to talk to me. I was like, I'm not talking to you anyway.
I'm just telling you, like, you know, what our rights are and stuff and women are on it. And then he just, he goes, Oh, yeah, your magic sky daddy told you this is like, so he already had an agenda when he called, but he just, he just thinks we're going to roll over and I, and as I think that it's so important as pastors and as Christians that we do not let these people roll us ever.
Um, and I commend you brother Ben for for doing that because you know, we need more people that are willing to do that
Amen. Yeah, that's psycho. You know what they did to me after that
So that's other so the faggot the manager and then that other psycho Karen
They were putting ads in Craigslist that I was giving away free goats
Air church address for like a week. They're putting that I was giving away cyber trucks
And so I'm getting my phone just getting blown up for the whole week after that because I dared to
You know knock doors at their apartment complex. So threatened to sue me and call the police all this other stuff
I was like, I have AIDS you faggot
Well, the love that you can say that the Bible tells us in Acts chapter 5 and daily in the temple and in every house
They ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ
It also tells us yeah, and all that would live godly in Christ Jesus
Shall suffer persecution and you can't expect if you're gonna go out and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ and this broken and wicked
World that we live in today
You can't expect for there not to be any kind of response from Satan's ministers and I do think that
the apartment managers, these carans,
and that's who I was referring to as a pig.
I don't like calling cops that,
but the apartment manager, the pig apartment manager,
the carans. Good clarification.
You can call them amandas if you want,
but these amandas, these carans,
they are just so evil.
And they're so full of rage, and they have chips on their shoulders, and they're obvious, loudmouth feminists who think that they run the place and that they're just, like, above the law and everything like that.
And when somebody dares to stand up to them and say, no, I'm not gonna obey your orders, I don't take orders from you, I'm not gonna do what you say, it just makes their blood boil because they expect you to cower to them, and it's not gonna happen with us.
Those are great points and of course the carons of this world are the same people that would defund
the police right now and vote Democrat and yet they love to call the cops and weaponize them
against soul winners because that's just the type of people they are hypocrites and of course they're
disgusting. Im Schultz comments gently led cop and of course it's sad to see we have to put ladies
We don't have enough men to actually solve crimes, but I guess the crimes are just enforcing Karen's rules.
So that's why we can have ladies going out there and giving soul winners some kind of harassment.
But hey, they gave us a great story to tell on the podcast.
We end up going to another apartment place.
I'm just glad you did it.
I mean, you didn't have to take a bullet, but it was close.
The role of the silent partner.
It was pretty close.
I could tell that they wanted to shoot you.
They wanted to shoot me in the head.
Stal for time while your partner is giving the gospel, but later on in the apartment in the day
I should say we go to another apartment complex. We get what three more people saved for total for total for the day
Five total so it didn't hinder us at all gave us a great story
Got a chance to show off my very first ever criminal
trespass warning
Which is awesome. I'll probably frame this somewhere. It's a little bit worn, but I don't fight tested
Are you gonna go to court and fight that?
Well, it's just a warning. Yeah, I mean just as long as he doesn't go to that red place again
It's fine, but whatever. I mean we got Samuel foces this been Beth sada was worth it
Amen. Pastor Oz said Ben is dangerous, exclamation mark. So you got to watch out for him.
We've got, hey, go to this picture. We've got Brandon actually put in some pizza here.
Here is that pizza we were talking about. Just in case you were hungry for that late
night snack, we are going to make you hungry. Here is some of that Detroit
Pizza folks. It kind of looks like pizza backwards. Like they put the sauce on top or something
But I've heard about that. All right, go back to us. I think we still have another caller. We're gonna get to him in just a second
Shout out to some more comments. Imagine if we had president Karen. Oh, man Kamala. That would be pretty rough
We we almost did honestly
We've got
Lots of people commenting on what you said, Pastor Thompson.
Shout out to Pastor Thompson.
We need some more people to get AIDS, folks.
AIDS is the judgment of God, and we need way more people to get AIDS and die.
I came out of nowhere.
Shout out to the chat room.
AIDS kills fags dead.
Yeah, we need them.
The only disappointment I have in AIDS is it doesn't work fast enough.
That's my only complaint with the AIDS.
I hate those people that are doing AIDS research.
So, you know,
Don't donate to anybody that's doing AIDS research.
Detroit deep dish is the best pizza ever.

Hey, how's it going? Tell me how you doing doing great? How are you?
I don't pass the amazing pastor. We just had our
Mega marathon here. We had a two locations for Indianapolis
So we had a couple guys in Chicago and then we also had a couple guys in Indianapolis and
You're part of the Chicago one
Yeah, I was a part of the Chicago one. I'm a member of the Indian location
Of course, we don't have like a Chicago church plant yet, but
You know because we have like 30 sure foundation church plants already
Yeah, so we had a we had a but it was 24 salvations in Chicago and we had a 15 salvation in
In Indianapolis
That's awesome. Yeah, it's a shame that there's not a pastor in Illinois that can actually like start some churches or actually do something
So it's good that we have Pastor Thompson going out there, and I'm just joking
I'm sure there's some whoa out there that we don't know that's actually doing that one just clicked with me
Shout out to the pastors. I don't know doing some good work, but
Hey, Chicago is ripe under the harvest
and thanks so much for calling in, Eliud.
That's great, great work out there.
I saw the picture, we showed a picture of you guys.
I think Uriel took a little selfie with you guys out there.
Shout out to Brother Uriel.
That's awesome. Yeah, it was it was great
I mean, uh, you know, it's got a little scary a little bit because you know for the Bradley
He rebuked the false prophet in the ghetto. So it kind of scared me a little bit, but
It was great
Brother bad he's he's over there really is ghetto. I need to move this. Let's see if I can
Move this a little bit. Okay, there we go. Brother Brad's got some rabbit ears on you over there
You're snuck over there in the corner. He's got some rabbit ears on you and AJ
So shout out to Sure Foundation Baptist Church in Annapolis and the Chicago group. Thanks so much for calling in
Brother Eliud you want to say something Pastor Thompson?
I just want to say thanks for you know being out there and getting it done man. How was the how was the food at?
Did you guys go to pizza or something?
So we went to partilos because of course if your wife wants to eat partilos you decide whether you
Amen, I agree with this doctrine. Thanks. Thanks so much brother. Liar. Do you have a great night?
God bless. Thank you, sir
Yeah, we got to eat a couple different places in Chicago when we out for a Solonium Eurothon and it was great
We went to just some like hole in the wall and had some dogs and some burgers and stuff
It was super good and then we went to a fancy restaurant downtown Chicago
I'm struggling to remember the name. Oh, it was Gibson's Italia or something like that that place was
Epic, it was super cool, really nice downtown, the food was great, the fellowship was awesome,
I got to rip on the moon landing and so, you know, but Pastor Oz was my one-
I fulfilled the process.
Yeah, that was one of my, was my only, you know, friend there, no I'm just kidding, he
was the only sane person that the, I'm just kidding, no, that was great.
Me and Pastor Thompson got to hang out and we had a great time and Chicago was really fun
And the food there was great. Give us a give us a testimony on there, Pastor Thompson
Yeah, their their piece is good there too. I don't know. Maybe I just didn't have the the best that Chicago had to offer
But I had to say that Detroit pizza I like better, but I'm you know
If somebody wants to prove me wrong next time to go there and get me some Chicago pizza
Their deep dish was okay that I tried there, but maybe I just didn't go to the best restaurant, but
But they're they're hot dogs and stuff like that. There's their sandwiches. Oh, man
They got some good stuff there. Yeah, definitely and that place we went out to eat man. That was
That was amazing and the atmosphere was amazing. It was just like in downtown Chicago and some fancy place
You know, it was it was really cool. Dude serving God can be fun
So, you know, I'm not one of these people that tries to make serving God boring or austere
I think that we can have a good time
And so, you know, if you ever go to one of these marathons or hang out with us, so does Pastor Thompson
We like to have fun and have good food and have good fellowship and you know, we're Baptist
So you got the Baptist bias. It's it's great. Let's go back to our numbers real quick. We'll kind of recap

Which is in heaven the Bible tells us to pray for more laborers to enter into the harvest and you know
The thing about soul winning is it's not about us because we don't go out and preach ourselves
We're out there preaching Christ and him crucified and that's what actually gets people saved
You know, I'm not special. None of us are special. What's special is the gospel message.
And what's special is the truth that can slice through years, even decades of lies,
and can get people saved in a short space. And we need to celebrate the gospel. Tomorrow,
we're celebrating the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. And you know what,
there's never a better time than celebrate than Easter week. And what Jesus did for us,
And, you know, there's going to be plenty of time to rest in heaven, now's the time to do the work.
If you weren't able to go soul-winning this week or this weekend, do it tomorrow.
Sunday's another great day to go soul-winning. What better day to go soul-winning than Easter itself?
And so we can go celebrate the Lord Jesus Christ. We can praise God and sing about his resurrection
and then we can go out and preach the resurrection. And we can live
We have newness of life because of what he has done for us and if you want to be accepted in
God's sight, if you want to be his disciple, you need to become a soul winner. People that are not
soul winning are not the disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ because he said,
to Peter and the other disciples, if you follow me, I'll make you fishers of men.
And so I'll show you someone that's following Jesus.
it's someone that's going soul-winning. It's someone that's preaching the gospel
and people that are not preaching the gospel. I'll show you someone that's not following Jesus
and is not doing the work of Christ. And so we need to preach the gospel. We need to get on fire.
We have the Baptist bias. This is why we're here. You know, the Baptist bias show is meant to reach
a new audience, but sometimes we need to just have some fan favorites. Sometimes we just need to
play to the home crowd and I'm loving the show. I'm loving the stream. I'm excited about next year
and the work that we get to do, of course, none of the numbers are going to ever be absolutely
perfect. But we gave ourselves a little bit of ballpark here and idea of what we did.
Let's smash it next year. Let's do way more. And, you know, we don't have to wait for next year.
We can start tomorrow. Brother, Pastor Thompson, I want to give it to you to give us kind of some
Yeah, I just want to say thanks once again for you know doing this this part that this part of it is
Also putting it out there so that people like hey that didn't get to participate and you know again
It was my fault for not putting it out there earlier
And there was other people that probably would have participated that just had other stuff going on so
But I appreciate you guys doing this last minute. We all have plans for tomorrow
But, thank you to everybody that went out souling and there's probably people that went out souling today or just with their church that didn't get counted and, you know, great job just, you know, people just sticking with souling because, like, you know, has been said lots of times, you know, our Christian life is measured in decades, not just in, you know, weeks and a couple of years.
I mean, this is something we should be doing lifelong.
And you know we should celebrate days like today where we just go out and in times past i remember some of the make of marathons being like three thousand people saved in one day so that's almost a that's almost a third of what we've done before so i mean it's a good day.
For something just thrown together last minute so amen and.
You know, I'm sure other people had persecution stories and everybody has a great story of a salvation that they had that didn't call in
and it seems like every time you go out so and there's a great story and
You know, we live our lives as a tale to be told and and you know
There's a lot of great tales to tell when you're out so wanting, you know
It's this is a great life as a Christian and hey, we got two more
Hey, we got two more callers and I want to get them in real quick
Before before we go. We'll do it real quick. Let's get brother Paul Hansen from Sure Foundations bocan
See if we can bring one real quick brother Paul. How's it going?
It's going great. Thanks so much for calling in how to go today
It went really great. The weather was raining but they didn't stop us. We had a few sole winners out there and it was very fruitful for us today.
I just wanted to call, if I can, and to tell you guys how thankful I am that you guys put this on.
For me personally, six or seven years ago, was the sole winning marathon. It was the first time I ever went sole winning in my life.
And it's motivated me and changed me to want to go out, not just putting it together.
So this podcast, The Recap, I think is just very motivating because it just sees,
even if I'm meeting with a small group, like I did in Seattle many years ago with Neb
and just a couple other people that Pastor Thompson sent out.
It has changed my life just going out and slowly.
So thank you so much for organizing this
and doing a recap and just encouraging us all
to go out there and do that first love for the Lord.
Thank you guys.
Thanks so much, Paul.
And if you ever get a chance to listen to Paul preach,
it's spicy and you gotta love it.
And I have to say shout out to Paul
because there was this one line you made
and I'm not gonna get it exactly right,
but it was like the funniest thing I've ever heard.
And he just said something like,
I'm not a pastor. I'm not gonna be a pastor. So I don't care. I'm just gonna say whatever I want
So shout out to brother paul. I don't know if I got that right
Is that what is that what you said?
Um, I've probably mentioned that before yeah when uh, some people don't don't didn't like what I said
Still like what you said anyways, but I loved it. Thanks so much brother Paul the pastor Thompson. You want to say something before let him go
Yeah, I was just thanks for calling him brother Paul and your blessing at our church and that had been for a long time and
That definitely was a very spicy sermon for a layman to preach and it took a lot of courage
You took a lot of heat for that
If nobody's listed that sermon and it's it's great and
Love your brother. Have a good one. Have a good night.
We got one more caller and I want to get him in here.
We've got evangelist Justin Zong from Sure Foundation,
Indianapolis. Let's bring him on here.
Hey, thanks so much for calling in. How's it going?
Going well, you would have a great day so many, I mean, both locations in the end Chicago did really well with 39 total salvagens
So personally, I mean the last person I led to the Lord and after she realized that salvation
It's a free gift and that and they last forever and she told me she she can finally
Sleep peacefully at night. So I just want to thank the power of the gospel and want to thank Pastor Thompson for planting this church
Awesome. Hey, maybe he can solve a problem we had at the very beginning of the stream.
Is Hong Kong Chinese and Communist? What are your thoughts here?
I support the one China policy.
Oh, man. So we got an expert in here, folks.
I mean, that's it. That's all he needed to say.
I support the one China policy done. This is this next subject. What is Taiwan Hong Kong?
They should all be part of China. They should all be part of China
I'm with them, but isn't it but isn't it like Taiwan owns China or the other way all the way. I'm
Just the other way around just like if Texas wanted to be independent, you know, that will be like a
Rebellious attitude, right? So it's the same same way, you know, if you think about Hong Kong Taiwan
Rebellion against mainland China. Well, there you heard it. You heard it from the horse's mouth folks
One China policy. I don't know if I agree or disagree because I'm so ignorant on these topics
But I wanted to get an expert's opinion. I would just agree with him. Yeah, Pastor Thompson. You got any thoughts?
Um, yeah, I mean, I just yeah, he he definitely
He definitely has some interesting views
The Honorable Chairman, thanks for calling in.
The Honorable Chairman, Zong, thank you so much for calling in.
And we did think about putting, like, for the backdrop of our church there,
the picture of him, you know, how they have those,
and just a picture of him behind them and, you know, kind of spice it up,
but I don't know, people might take it the wrong way.
That's hilarious.
Brother Zong, I don't know if you remember,
but in 2020, you and I did a live stream together
right before COVID became, like, a big story.
And I always tell people, it was like, you and I were the first ones to really start
talking about coronavirus because before it really hit the news and anybody was even paying
attention to it.
I remember asking you about this disease that was hitting China and we were talking about
the spiritual condition of China and things like that, so I appreciate you doing that
stream.
I'll have to have you on again sometime.
Remember that, yeah, that was a good show.
Yeah, shout out to Brother Ben's podcast.
What's the name of it?
I'm not sure.
Yeah, I'm brand to get victory live
Victory live chapter 15 verse 57. He's still on YouTube folks. Go check him out brother Ben the Baptist and
Yes, well, some people may not like the name. It's okay. If you don't like the name folks. It's not that serious
It's just for fun. Okay, you'll find them and so and the Baptist YouTube channel if you want to listen to that
And maybe you'll get to hear a Vangela Zong on there again. So thanks so much Vangela Zong for calling in shout out to
Indianapolis
Yeah, that's what having me God bless. Have a good night a bus. So that's pretty much
Go ahead
Oh, I just want to say one thing we we we changed up our food item
We I mean food is part of this thing that we do when we do the soul any marathon a lot of times
We'll do Panda Express because it's easy or Chipotle. We did Dave's hot chicken this time
I've never eaten ever before I just wanted to give my review of it. It was for it
Awesome. Really? Have you ever eaten there before? Oh, man. No, I don't think I've ever had it. Yeah, it was soup. It was like when I looked at the chicken
I thought this looks like it's gonna be dry, but it was super moist and just delicious
But I had medium because I'm I wasn't sure how spicy but you have to sign a waiver
to eat the hottest spice one there. And I'm definitely a weenie when it comes to stuff like that. So
dang, the kids that called in their mom actually is the one who was telling me about that because
she actually ate the hottest one there. And it's, it's definitely, it's pretty spicy. So if you
have to sign a waiver that you might die from eating it or something, but might have a hard
You know, I didn't really get a good enough try for the palate, but I just had a tooth pulled, so I had to have the macaroni and cheese or whatever.
But the chicken, it's better than raising canes.
I'm sorry.
I don't know if you guys like raising canes or not, but.
It was it toasted raising canes. Sorry to say that. So we got we got a Kylie Thompson said
We had it in Detroit when we got sick of buddies. So apparently you can get sick of buddies
Corbin Corbin said dude
Dave's hot chicken is amazing
So brother Russell you can even see his personality come out in text so
Oh, is it better than Sea Galley's chicken? This is the next comment. Is it better than Sea Galley's chicken?
Do we have a witness or?
Yes, nobody should have ever gotten chicken at Sea Galley. That's just blasphemy almost blasphemy against the Holy Spirit
It's almost to that level to ever get chicken ever at Sea Galley. Brother Corbin says sick of buddies is impossible
Spring Crest, great show, very fun.
We're gonna end on a high note, guys.
It's been a great show.
Give us the last word here, Pastor Thompson,
and we're gonna end it.
Any thoughts?
Yeah, again, thanks. Thanks for everything. Thanks for everybody going soul-winning and next year
we're gonna make it mega again. Amen. Actually, mega where we're hitting all 50 states. I mean,
Lord willing, obviously, you know, COVID happened in 2020. My motto was we're gonna have a 2020 vision
this year because it was supposed to be 2020, but
Yeah, it didn't really end up that way. So obviously everything's the Lord's will but as long as Dr. Fauci doesn't give us another ouchy
Will be
Style next year like champions, you know bringing the mega
The mega marathon back to its former glory days and this is just a taste of what will come back and
Great job everybody. Thanks for participating wherever you were. Thanks, Pastor Shelley for putting this show on. Thanks, Brother Ben
For being here. I hope everybody has a happy Easter and you better show up for church tomorrow because
Yes, you should go to church and especially on Easter. That's right. You just didn't go to church for you
He still expects you to go so
Ben Ben thought final thoughts. Thanks, Pastor Thompson. Ben. You got a few thoughts here
Yeah, I'll end with this it's fun to serve God like you said
It is fun to serve God, you know, one of the components of the fruit of the Spirit is joy.
And there is no joy quite like serving the Lord Jesus Christ.
And I'm just thankful. I really am. I'm just thankful to be here.
