On Mission! A phrase permeating my thoughts this AM. I woke up an again before 0700. Jet lag ramps up productivity.

From the last meeting in Fiji to our first in Sydney, all were Divinely orchestrated. I’d never met my two Fiji FB friends. Both are LGBT overcomers pursuing identity in Christ. Our mission: fellowshipping, sharing and encouraging. Our Fiji friend invited 4 ministry partners to our lunch. 7 of us ate, testified and planned future missions.
Philip often quotes Hebrews 10:24-25 “…let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near.” These gatherings were a fulfillment of those verses.

With every appointment, we were “On Mission”; connecting with believers, to share Jesus with non-believers. Practicing the call to gather together. 2 of those gathered had overcome homos*xuality by the blood of the lamb and the word of their testimony. One lady left her LGBT life and now has a ministry to women still living that life. Praise God! We shared our Jesus stories. Tears flowed. Plans were made. Help for the future was offered. They shared their stories and invitations to come again to Fiji. More chances to be On Mission.

Mission 1 in Sydney? Filming and recording 3 episodes for the Love Questions podcast. Those conversations sparked an invitation to a Zoom Small group of overcomers. What a huge blessing! Connecting and encouraging other believers who struggle with s*xual identity as they make efforts to deny themselves daily, to follow the freedom bringing, life giving teachings of Jesus. Being On Mission means being ready to act. Always make plans, but maintain the flexibility when God says “PIVOT! PIVOT!”. Being On Mission, leaving home and comfort behind for a month. Serving God’s purpose. Doing God’s will.

Sign me up heifers!

My heart is to continually share my own story of Freedom, in hopes that it reaches the lost. I left my gay life 26 years ago. I continue to run rescue missions back across dividing lines. I know that homos*xuality is not biblical or blessed by God. God provides a way of escape from s*xual sin of all types. For those trapped in the lies of the LGBT deception, believing they are “born that way”, Jesus brings truth and hope. I know I sound like a broken record to some. But to those disillusioned by the gay life and its trappings, my story is like water in the desert. Jesus led me out. I owe Him my life. Change is possible. Redemption is necessary. Jesus be praised! Hope of transformation and renewal awaits!

Let the Fiji/Australia Mission Trip commence. Philip and I leave LAX Sept 2. Sept 3 evaporates. We arrive in Nadi (pronounced Nandi), Fiji, 11.5 hours later on Sept 4th at 6 am.
Btw- Fiji is 16 hours ahead of Orlando.

We have 2 events Sept 5. A men’s seminar in the morning. And another Seminar later that evening.

We have some local contacts in Fiji and are making ourselves available for individual
ministry time as well.

Please remember us in prayer!
1) That God uses our stories to impact lives at both events.
2) That we will receive the words from God that these men need to hear.
3) That we would bring encouragement to fellow Christians and everyone we meet.
4) For more opportunities to share the gospel and minister and meet individuals.
5) For more church and people connections in Fiji.
6) Safety while learning to drive on the other side of the road.
7) Protection of our digestive health as we navigate new foods.
8 ) For opportunities to be a blessing wherever we land.

We are in Fiji from Sept 4-10. At which time we fly to Sydney, Australia.

This Garage Sale is to fund a mission trip to Fiji and Australia to attend a conference, share on radio and via podcast and connect with church groups throughout each country. 

We are still taking local, material donations for the Garage Sale. We are also accepting financial donations via several money sending apps.

Hello friends and ministry supporters,

Updates for Big Fish and myself. God is forever providing, teaching and willing. God brought me a car last year. The car let me minister in Tennessee, Florida and Texas. I also use the car for rideshare as a “tent making job”. I went to Oklahoma this summer, to visit my 81-year-old father. God used the visit for healing and encouragement. God is still at work in our family. Please pray for my dad, brother and me.

Excited to share - I am Australia bound for a month of ministry. Leaving 8/17/2025 and return 9/14/2025
I will be ministering with Dr. Shirley Baskett and other colleagues. Shirley has been a friend and colleague since 2014. Her physician gave her 6 months to live…3.5 years ago! She is living on God’s timing, because of prayer. I’ll be sharing at a weekend gathering, speaking at various church groups, connecting with internet colleagues and end with a radio program in Brisbane. Pray for more opportunities.

I want to invite you to partner financially with me as you feel led.
Here are my current needs
RT Flight HNL to SYD $600
Australian Flights/Travel $550
Phone/Data $100
Room and Board $1500

All told that is around $3,300

Our director, Matthew Aaron, is entering year 25 of ministry. As an ordained minister, he has spent the last 5 years on the road. Mainly ministering to the LGBT and ex-LGBT community, but also sharing the hope of Jesus with the fatherless, hopeless and abandoned.

He has been car-less for two years. A gracious supporter has stepped up with a starter donation to help him acquire a used car. We are requesting matching money. He has partnered with Give, Send, Go, a Christian based fundraising group. A good reliable car is needed for the thousands of miles that lie ahead. God has called him to be mobile. A car would be an immense help. The need for financial help is always hard to talk about, but necessary as a missionary. Matthew will go wherever God leads, but it's tough without the necessary funds. He loves what he does, living counter culturally and fully dependent on God's provision.

"And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of His glory in Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:19

If you feel led to pray or help financially, here is the link to the fundraising campaign.

As a Missionary there are planting days and harvesting days. Yesterday was planting day. A BOGO coupon for Jesus. I'm currently in Texas. I rent a car with Rideshare, using my wages to pay the rental. Rideshare peeps are a ministry field. I started driving at 5 PM. At 1230 AM I thought, "I'll just do one last ride..." WOOO HOOO!

My "last run" was a 21 year old guy. He got in the car and said, "I just gotta rant for a minute." I braced for impact. He just brokeup with his girlfriend of 2.5 years. He was emotional and chatty. What proceeded was a God conversation lasting until 3 am. After the ride ended we stood in front of his house chatting about life, relationships and God. We cried. I prayed for him. He needed a listening ear. He grew up with no dad. He is working hard to make it. He is a fighter. Determined to do well. He believes in a higher power, but doesn't call it God. I shared my faith in Jesus. I hugged him goodbye, he cried some more. I cried. I left with a heavy and thankful heart. When the Holy Spirit says He will provide the words you need, it's TRUE. Pray for "A" if you would.

So last "last ride". A $23 ride popped up. I cleared my screen. Then it popped up again. The ride intrigued me. I accepted. It took me to the rainbow area. I approach to see a shirtless young man carrying a pizza box. Jesus is Lord, because only thoughts were, "Wonder what's on the pizza?"

It's two riders. They get in. One passes out. The other kid starts asking questions. I have residue from my old LGBT life. He sensed it. Yet once again, Jesus was planting seeds. The young man said they had just broken up. I identified with him in his pain. As he asked questions, I boldly and lovingly shared my story. I shared my heart for the gay community. I shared about some of the ways I have loved LGBT peeps well. I asked him if he was Filipino. He was surprised that an "old white guy" would know. I told him I know lots of Filipinos. He said, well now I don't feel special. I thought, well you are the first one I have met that is wearing a thong. A sidebar conversation, I precariously navigated. He did have on pants too, don't judge. Turns out, he is adopted. He's 24, looking to settle down with a guy. He asked me what I thought about homos*xuality and the bible. I shared honestly. I shared the redemptive love of Jesus. He thanked me. Fun fact, his name had originally been Matthew. I let him know that Matthew, means gift of God. Pray for "BZ" if you would.

I love this life. There are days I feel like a crazy, unorganized, unworthy mess, but God uses me. I saw myself in both those boys lives. My heart broke and rejoiced simultaneously for them. I remember wandering with no one who understood me. I remember being at odds with God and Christians. I also remember when God destroyed the lies of the enemy and set me free from the grip of sin. That is one reason I gave up everything to do the work I do. These broken little boys matter. God is a father to the Fatherless. He binds up the brokenhearted and those who feel abandoned and alone.

Praise God for the work that He's done in my life. Praise Jesus that He is still performing rescue missions.
