When the Bible says, “The Kingdom of Heaven suffers violence and the violent take it by force,” that violence means eagerness, like a city besieged on every side. Last night eager hearts reached and took the Kingdom of Heaven for themselves. Two young adults reached out and took Jesus for themselves. Five people from 7 to 23 years old publicly declared Christ as Savior and were baptized, clothing themselves with Him. Eagerly. Violently.

There’s an open heaven here. I’m so overwhelmed as I write this. There’s not much more I can say…

Thank you to the amazing team that comes out to minister alongside us, The Depot at Union City, Elise Ferris, Jami Nemeti and many more! Thank you to my anointed mentor Shelley Norton Lowery (and Amanda Smith!), who drove all the way from Kansas City tonight to join the RIOT and preach the Gospel.

We are taking donations to buy Living Free discipleship books so we can go in weekly and walk these 7 disciples in how to live out this new faith. And there’s more coming, so much more, but for now I rest in who He is. He is simply… Everything 🙌🏼

Second year evangelizing Pridefest was different. Not because the culture or vibe has changed. I’ve changed. This year I just felt so much love in my heart for the person beneath the lifestyle. I saw individuals the way God sees them- loved, creative, unique, special. Sure, there’s demons at these events, but I’m more concerned about the demons operating within churches. At least these don’t try to hide.

Before we even got downtown, an atheist let us pray for him. He told us he had just left and that it seemed like the speakers on the mic were hypnotizing people, and he didn’t like it! You know we stopped right there and began to take authority over darkness.

Some people say you shouldn’t go to events like this because there isn’t much fruit to be had. What is fruit anyway? Is the number of salvations how we are measuring impact? No, fruit is the small moments where you tell the boy in the belly shirt and lipstick how God formed him in his mothers womb to be sweet and caring and attentive and how God so loves that about him. Isn’t fruit when you walk up to two women in relationship together and tell them how you made them a bracelet with a word from God on it, and it is exactly the word they both needed to hear in their situations? And then you take their hands and pray it forward into their lives by the Spirit. Isn’t fruit getting to tell Temple of Satan followers about God’s Power and them accepting prayer afterwards??

If we Christians don’t go, who will, church?
Holy Spirit moved today, and we got another year to re-present Christ to a dying world.

Father, we pray over every seed planted today, that You would water it, and faith would grow in as many as we had the obedience to talk with. Save Springfield, Lord. Save our city! In Jesus’ Mighty Name, amen ⚡️

That time of year again… Calling the mamas and the papas of the faith, those of you who wanna love on a group of people Jesus cares deeply about! Ozarks Pridefest is an event in downtown Spfd that draws 5,000 people annually and celebrates pride in homosexuality. As we saw last year, it is truly a large number of orphans.

That’s why we need the moms and dads with changed hearts to BE the love they don’t have or never got. Love isn’t accepting someone’s lifestyle, it’s accepting the person beneath, right where they are. Just. Like. Jesus.

We have a great opportunity to ask questions, pray with and lead the lost to Christ here.

Joseph looked saved on the outside. He was wearing a Catholic university Tshirt. He had a Bible. He goes to church. I really had to spend time in conversation with him and ask direct questions to understand that he had never actually given his life to Jesus. We could have easily passed him by assuming he was saved. I post this to encourage you to be authentically curious about people you encounter with the intent of finding out their relationship with Christ: I also encourage you that all the times you spend with folks and never lead them to the Lord, those moments matter.

In 2023, a Joplin cab driver opened Joseph’s mind to the possibility of God, helping him realize God was real. Without that man’s contribution aiding in my own, the other night maybe wouldn’t have been the night Joseph met Jesus. Consider these things, as you witness the Hope radiating from him. Keep stepping out. It matters.

graceRIOT is preparing a new motel ministry launch in June for a location that sits at the corner of two major interstates. I lived at this motel as baby Christian surrounded by prostitution and drug dealing before total homelessness, and I’ve had my eye on it ever since. After years of prayer, we will be bringing the Gospel to the residents, children, and families and have the management’s full blessing to do the Lord’s work!!

What’s more, we are partnering with The Depot at Union City to take this territory for Jesus!! Friday night we met with the saints under Lacee Thompson’s leadership and provided light training and talked logistics. They are so excited to get their hands dirty- no spectators in this Body! I feel so tremendously grateful to share with these precious women of God not only the work but the reward of the coming salvations!!

If you feel called to children (Gracie Hawhee comes to mind…!), to the vulnerable or have a gifting of evangelism, please reach out to join the RIOT!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

If you would are an intercessor and would like to join our prayer walk on location Saturday 5/30 @ 10AM, DM me for details. We launch Tuesday, June 2 @ 6pm!!

“What a humble situation,” one student said. “You don’t know me from a bucket of paint, but you took the time to talk to me. That takes courage to walk up to someone you don’t know. But you showed love and compassion towards me.” I told him, “You know what that is (it’s not courage)? The love of Christ compels us.”

We had a powerful last night evangelizing Missouri State with an amazing team, each one contributing with their own gifting or talent. Apologetics, testimony, compassion, a loving gospel, Truth, documenting with excellence, and intercession all intermingled!! Thank you, team!!! 🫶 .henry7

After 9 dedicated months of evangelizing every week, one thing we know- this is a generation of Truth seekers!! There have been many salvations, deep conversations about beliefs while we planted seeds with patience and diligence, and student encounters with Holy Spirit!

Some are trying to find truth with the intellect, others by contemplating this world and their experiences in it. Others, still, by partying. I often tell students in the end, after all their searching, what they will find is that Truth is a person.

Please don’t just read this or watch the reel, but I implore you to bow your head for a moment if you have even the smallest burden for the harvest and pray for this rising generation. That they would know Truth in all His fullness⚡️
