ONE PILGRIMAGE ENDS WHERE ANOTHER ONE ENDED, IN 1620′ or should I say where another one began, which led to the birth of this Christian Nation!!! As this 175 mile walk across Massachusetts came to an end, we dropped to our knees to give thanks to God for all He has done in this walk, and for another prayer meeting that happened at this very spot many years ago that shaped our nation. We prayed for a New Move of God in our day… We Prayed for REVIVAL NOW IN OUR DAY!!!
Celebrating the last day of my Revival Trail walk across Massachusetts which began on May 20th in Williamstown at the Haystack Monument praying for Massachusetts and the nation to return to our Christian roots and for an outpouring of God’s Spirit.” O Lord, Do it again in our day!!!!”
Let me share what I have found along the trail.
Pray with us at that hour and you are welcome to come and join if you can. Doreen and Dianne will be singing at “Rally at the Rock”!
Also that Morning I will be Preaching at First Baptist Church of Dighton Mass. At their 10: o’clock service. All are Welcome!!
As I stopped to pray at this site you could feel the awe, Compassion and the respect that people have for those injured due to man’s inhumanity to man. I pray for healing In the bodies, and in the hearts of those involved! Also for forgiveness, cleansing and Revival once again in our nation.
This is the Lexington Green where the first blood was shed in the battle for the war of Independence. Just again a reminder that without the shedding of blood there is never freedom Jesus shed his blood to give us freedom from sin to show the greatness of his love the intensity of his desire to give us life and give it to us abundantly. He paid the debt in full so that we could be free!
Old Northbridge Concorde Massachusetts where, “The shot was fired that was heard around the world”. Two pastors were engaged in that battle that day ( April 19, 1775), fighting for freedom and liberty! Their love for this country and for the Lord shone through in the stand They and the others made here! Let us not forget!. And let’s pray for revival and to hold on to the liberties those men purchased on that day in our country!

Prayer together for Revival at David Brainard’s gravesite Northampton Mass.
What an amazing blessing. I am here at the grave site of David Brainard missionary to the Indians of the 1730s in Northampton Massachusetts Jonathan Edwards daughter Jerusha is buried right beside him. Oh that we all might have The fire in our hearts that David had and the commitment that he had, this is a privilege
There is no question it needs it!! As I carry the Cross through out America, I have talked and prayed with so many that have pulled over with tears in their eyes over the condition of some friend or relative drowning in some hurt or addiction. Mothers and Fathers watching their children and young adults drifting aimlessly from job to job, relationship to relationship, or just wasting away on the couch in front of a “Game Boy” or computer screen. Pastors that are broken hearted over their parishioners and churches that are cold and indifferent. Entire Congregations with not so much as a birthday candle worth of fire burning in them. Churches dwindling and closing. Pastors burning out and leaving the ministry at the rate of 1500 a month. Seminary professors that strip the authority and trustworthiness of the Bible, (the Word of God) from their students, thereby killing the faith of another generation. The professors themselves not having enough Faith to blow the fuzz off a peanut, they’re just vocational professionals. Our prisons are full, our schools are crime ridden, and sporting events unsafe. WHY? Because America is telling God He’s not welcome here any more. Stay out of our Schools, our Courts, our lives and then, when all Hell brakes loose, we cry out, “where was God?” Well we threw Him out! We said, “we’ll wait till our kids are old enough to decide for themselves before we teach them about the God” who loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life. But we learn too late that the devils crowd didn’t wait till they were old enough. They’ve got them drugged up and depressed in elementary school. WE NEED REVIVAL!!! And we need it Now!
Jesus told us ” the devil came to Rob, Kill and to Destroy, but I have come that you might have Life and have it more Abundantly” John 10:10.
Not long back I had a father pull over when he saw me on the side of the road with the Cross, a big man in size, broken and weeping because his son was afraid of him because dad drank too much and would lose his temper. I’ve had wives say the same thing. You should walk with me and hear what I hear! We need Revival and we need it Now!
The courts are busy getting the 10 Commandments out of everywhere, ” because it may offend someone”. Commands like, “Thou shalt not Steal”, ” Thou shalt not Lie” or “Thou shalt not covet thy neighbors wife”! Well let me ask you which of those Commandments do you want your neighbor or your child to disobey? Doing that, we are denying our society any Moral compass. We Need Revival and we Need it Now!
Monday, May 20th I began a walk with the Cross in Massachusetts from the site of the Haystack Revival in Williamstown and I will walk to Plymouth Rock 170 miles away, Praying for Revival in America once again. Massachusetts has played a major role in the Christian heritage of our nation. The first Great Awakening that shook our country started under Jonathan Edwards in Northampton in the 1730’s, right when many of our Founding Fathers were born. They grew up in that atmospher of revival. I will carry the Cross through there praying, Lord as you did it under Edwards, Do it again, Do it Again! The great Evangelist, D.L Moody was born here. His preaching shook 2 Continents. I will carry the Cross through Lexington and Concorde where the Shot was fired that was heard around the world. I will stop and pray there for the Nation that was born that day. Then up Boylston St., to the recent bombing sites. After that, on to Plymouth Rock where Christianity came to these shores. I will end there with prayer, Lord Do it again, Do it Again! On this walk I am inviting anyone who wants to to join me at any part to come and let’s pray for our Country! We will have prayer rally’s across this state. If your heart is breaking like mine is for this Nation, come, join me, and let’s strike a blow through Prayer, against the forces trying to destroy our Christian heritage. Come, Lets make a stand together!!!
2 Chronicles 7:14 says “If my people who are called by my name shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from Heaven and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.”

For those of you that follow this Blog, I am going to give you just a brief overview of the many encounters and opportunities that The Lord Jesus opened to me as I carried the Cross through the Summer of 2012. Then I will come back and share some of the messages He gave me.
Right now, last Summer seems so long ago. So much has happened since then. But the warmth and gentle breezes, smiles and good times still encourage me, now, in the cold of Winter. It also reminds me that the cold of Winter will also pass!!
I do love the changing seasons. I have experienced them all, on the roadsides of the world; and their extremes. I have carried the Cross in the 116* F / 47* C + heat of the Sini desert in the Summer of 1990 and the -20*F / -29C Winter chills in Russia… Most of everything though, is somewhere in between. 
Last Summer was no exception. I carried the Cross in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, New England and the Adirondacks of upstate New York. I Talked and shared with many along side the roads there. I also did 2, hour long, TV talk shows. One in Massachusetts in June the other One happened at the Word of Life camp at Schroone Lake NY, As I walked through that area, I made camp in my van. A man who had a TV talk show in Connecticut was there with his family on vacation. When he heard that I was there he came to my Van to meet me. After visiting awhile, he said he would like to interview me on his show. He said ” I think I have enough equipment with me to do it.” So we made a nice makeshift TV set. Then We set up the cameras, his son ran them and we did the Show, on “The Heart of Missions and sharing Jesus” It was great!!
Each day I would have many curious tourists pull over when they saw the Cross and talk. I would pray with them, in some cases, hug their necks, then shoulder the Cross and head on. One person I met, had met me with the Cross, years ago in Florida. But many I know I won’t see again till Heaven. But we have prayed, rejoiced together, loved one another, because of the common bond in Christ, hugged then headed on with joy.
One day, while walking down the road I passed a sign that kind of sums up the feelings, of where, many people are in their life that stop and talk to me on the side of the road… It said “WITTS END CORNER”. Maybe some of you reading this feel like that is your address. You’re at your WITTS END. You are sick and tired of being sick and tired! You are tired of the Guilts, the Fears, the Uncontrolable Angers and Habits, the fears of being discovered, found out! You may be a Pastor or a Peddler, a Deacon or Dock worker, a Captain or a Con-artist, Model or Mom. But your tired of where you are. You question, can I find real freedom??…. Or is that just talk?? .. Is there real victory in this Life??… And can i live it… Or even find it… Well, I am here to tell you YOU CAN HAVE A LIFE OF JOY !! You Can… But it is only found in the person of Jesus Christ, he is Life at its source. He declared “Come unto Me all ye who are weary and heavy laden and I will give you rest…” It starts with honesty on our part. When your tired of seeing the distruction in your life, the fear in your families eyes, guilt in your own heart. You must cry out and repent, ( change your mind) instead of living for yourself live Gods way. Admit you can not change without His help. Jesus knows that. Be honest, give your life over to Him… Open your heart right now to Him invite him in to your life. He is waiting!! And Ready! You can read more on how to, on my “Receive Jesus” page on this website. It’s located to the far right of the Home page button at the top of this page. Opening my life to Jesus is what changed me as a young man of 20 years old. I was full of anger and Very empty I didn’t even believe there was a God. That’s when I found out I was living at WITTS END CORNER and I cried out to Jesus and He CHANGED ME !!! And I have No regrets. Join me. Let Him make the greatest difference in your life today.
