Without question our new Vice President of the United States Mike Pence speaking clearly and boldly at the recent Pro Life Rally has been the most encouraging event and highlight for me personally in many years.

WHY?...that's quite a statement

As the author of the book 
IF WE ARE THE LIGHT, WHY IS AMERICA SO DARK? 
written after 14 years of Witness Breakthrough training and traveling to speak to people from 100+ churches of varying size and backgrounds in many cities throughout America...I'm more and more burdened by the fact that very few Christians tell unbelievers about their faith in Jesus Christ...they may invite people to church, do good works, go on a short term mission trips, and be very nice to all people in general- but have either consciously or unconsciously bought "hook, line and sinker" into political correctness...and never mention the Name above all names in daily conversations...their Lord and Savior Jesus Christ!

There have been very few Christian business and government leaders who will speak up BOLDLY and PUBLICLY about their faith in Jesus Christ...but praise God...OUR VICE PRESIDENT HAS!!!!

WHAT ABOUT BEACH BOY MIKE?

Tudi and I were the guests of our friends Rick and Kathie at a very recent Beach Boys concert headed by Mike Love,
cousin of my high school and college close friend Brian Wilson who was not there, the genius and founder of The Beach Boys.. Brian also tours with his group 

 
Tudi, Brian and Me at a previous concert

During the very enjoyable Mike Love led concert (I would rate an 8 compared to a Brian Wilson concert a 10!)...Mike  gave witness to his eastern religious beliefs in  Transcendental Meditation...obviously the subject of his 3-5 minute testimony was not of interest to me...BUT this is my conclusion as an evangelist that is deeply troubled by the lack of boldness by believers...
I  THANK GOD for Mike Love speaking boldly and publically because he told everyone about what he believes in...

I'm thrilled BECAUSE...


BOTTOM LINE: 

VICE PRESIDENT PENCE has given us a model and wake up call to all American followers of JESUS:
COMPELLED BY LOVE AND CONVICTION IN THE GENTLENESS OF WISDOM...take a stand for your Lord and Savior as led in your varied conversations and speeches


VP Mike Pence is not flamboyant but in graciousness he has exhibited proven character and has clearly spoken the TRUTH in love...he's a great model...a man to respect and admire for his boldness

BEACH BOY MIKE...boldly told the total audience about his belief in Transcendental Meditation. QUITE FRANKLY I personally couldn't be any more disinterested in this subject...but

GOOD NEWS...
THERE'S A CRACK IN POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

Praise God It's Time to Wake up ...IT'S GAME TIME!

P.S.
BIG NEWS!
IN 2017 WB is focusing on also speaking/training at Seminaries, Universities and Conference/Retreat facilities

WHY?
Church leaders have not been trained in how to train others in spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ where they live, move and have their being...we are a witness every minute of every day so why not be a good witness?


WB/Ted has spoken in 44 states, 200+ cities, a number of foreign countries training and spreading the GOOD NEWS of our Savior...

THE NEW FOCUS is to Multiple the Gospel more than ever through young future leaders...so WB presents the following WB options for institutions:

  • Speak at a Chapel Service
  • Teach in the Classroom
  • Speak at a Leadership Assembly
  • A Weekend Conference...single or multi church
  • Train Staff
  • WB Train a Small Group 5-20 of Deeply Witness Focused Men and Women
  • Develop Tailor Made Media for Ongoing Use in Classrooms, Conferences and Leadership Development 
PLEASE-
We need your help!
