My name is David Day and I reside in Montgomery Alabama with my wife, Amanda, and our 4 children. My family and I are members of Morningview Baptist Church here in Montgomery where I serve as a deacon.

My family are in full time ministry as an Evangelist Catalyst / Missionary Service Corps Missionary with the North American Mission Board and Alabama Baptist Association.

I have been sharing my faith since the Lord quickened my heart in 2008 after hearing a sermon called, “Hell’s Best Kept Secret” by Ray Comfort. This sermon was used by God to reveal to me my sin against Him by the use the Ten Commandments, being as what Paul stated they are, “A schoolmaster” Galatians 3:24 The Lord worked wonderfully in my heart through the gospel and continues to this day to sanctify me, to draw me from sin, and to Lord willing to make me and my family as Thomas Watson has said, “an instrument of the glorifying God.”

The True Good News

The human mind is complex and wonderful. And it appears that it can pick up messages without our consciously knowing the content of those messages. For example, a message can be flashed on the TV screen so fast we hardly see it. But our minds click and our appetite for pizza is triggered. And we don’t know why. Selling products in this way is really a little underhanded. That’s why TV commercials made like this are not permitted. There is even mounting evidence that hidden messages placed on recordings can be received, stored, unscrambled and impressed on our minds without our knowledge. But when you play the recording at a slow speed or backwards you can hear the message.

I heard about this when friends of our family borrowed a popular record from the library for a Sunday school demonstration. They played the record backwards to hear the hidden message. The message was there all right, a call to worship the Satan.

Some recording stars have a message to proclaim to us. And they not only bombard our ears and eyes with the so called “good news” of sex and Satan, they are playing dirty tricks. They are trying to capture a following by manipulating our minds with hidden messages. And in the end, the real effort is to turn you and me away from the living God. Why? Misery loves company. Those who reject God want you to reject Him too. Don’t follow the gospel of rock! Follow the real gospel, the gospel of Christ. “For the wages of sin is death [eternal death], but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).

To help you see the importance of following the Good News of Christ, please click here and listen to the message, “Kingdom Treasure.”

Greg Brown – Howell, MI

Greg was born and raised in Michigan. He attended a Presbyterian church through high school when the world distracted him. He graduated from Michigan State with a double major in chemistry and computer science. He began a career as a computer programmer while still an undergraduate and has done that for over twenty years. Along the way, he picked up a couple of masters degrees in information systems management and computer science. When he was thirty-one, God opened his eyes to the fact that he wasn’t actually a Christian and then graciously fixed that for him. This was effected through the evangelistic outreach of Berean Baptist Church in Livonia, Michigan. Greg still attends Berean. Within a few years, Greg began working with other members there to develop a program of evangelism and began evangelizing at public events such as local fairs and car shows. He has also worked with people from Berean and other local churches to evangelize the community in Dearborn and at various sporting events. Greg has been a long time usher at Berean and is on the men’s ministry leadership team.

God the Father chose me, David Robert, before the foundation of the world, though I did not realize it until I was 29 years old. That was 30 years ago when I came to the knowledge that I was a wicked, wretched sinner and I deserved to go to Hell. John 6:44 says, “No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day.” The word draws in the Greek is the word Helko, which means to drag. I had no plans on becoming a follower of Jesus Christ, but God the Father had other plans for my life.

In 1989, at Kransburg Castle in West Germany, I came to the knowledge that Jesus Christ redeemed me, having taken all of my wretched sins and nailing them on the cross. Romans 8:1 reads, “There is therefore now no condemnation to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit.”

The Holy Spirit brought me to repentance and faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Acts 20:21 says that we are to have, “Repentance toward God and faith toward our Lord Jesus Christ.” The Holy Spirit gave me a new heart, changing my heart of stone to a heart of flesh, washing me clean from the inside out. I was a new person with new desires. Ezekiel 36:25-27

My studies are through Gordon Conwell Theological Seminary and the Master’s Seminary.

In 2010 the Lord allowed me to get cancer, and it was a blessing. I learned about biblical evangelism at that time, and life has not been the same. I am now a full-time evangelist, sharing the gospel of Jesus Christ door to door, at Mardi Gras parades, fairs and festivals, in the public schools, at Nicholls State University and Southeastern Louisiana University (taking an Acts 17 approach), and the New Orleans Saints games on Garot Street.

Brady Brewer – Norman,OK

Brady Brewer is the husband of Trisha Brewer. They have five children, all boys, between the ages of 14 and 21. He has been a driver for FedEx Freight since 1998. He lives in Norman, OK and pastor One:16 Bible Church OKC.

At the age of 14, Brady walked an aisle and prayed a sinners prayer. He lived as a false convert until the age of 22, when God opened his eyes and saved him in 1997 through some good preaching and also through reading a gospel tract.

The years following, he always had a passion to hand out tracts and share the gospel with others. He also had a strong desire to preach the gospel, but didn’t know exactly what that meant.

In 2008, Brady discovered Living Waters and through that ministry, was introduced to open air preaching. He knew immediately that this was what God was calling him to do with the rest of his life. 

Brady has been street preaching on a regular basis since May, 2009. He has preached at Thunder basketball games, OU football games, Dallas Cowboy games, college campus at OU, abortion mills, and other places. But he regularly preaches at the downtown bus station in OKC, in Bricktown around the theatre, and in front of the clubs in Bricktown after midnight on Friday and Saturday nights. He loves going to the same places over and over to develop a presence there.

Most of all, Brady just wants to please his Master, the Lord Jesus Christ, as a husband, father, employee, ministry, and every area of his life.

Servants of the Lord

To what special group was this word spoken? To kings who proudly boast a divine right? No! Too often they serve themselves or Satan and forget God who patiently permits them to wear their majestic crowns for a little while. Is the apostle speaking to those so-called “right reverend fathers in God,” the bishops or “the venerable archdeacons”? No; in fact, Paul knew nothing of these man-made titles. This word was not spoken even to pastors and teachers or to the wealthy and highly regarded among believers, but to servants and to slaves.

Among the toiling multitudes—the journeymen, the day laborers, the domestic servants, the drudges of the kitchen—the apostle found, as we still find, some of the Lord’s chosen, and he says to them, “Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.” This saying grants significance to the weary routine of earthly employments and sheds a halo around the most humble occupations.

To wash feet may be servile, but to wash His feet is royal work. To untie sandals is poor employment, but to unloose the Master’s shoe is a princely privilege. The shop, the barn, the kitchen, and the workbench become temples when men and women do all to the glory of God! Then divine service does not take place for a few hours and in a few places, but all life becomes holiness to the Lord, and every place and thing as consecrated as the tabernacle and its contents.

Teach me, my God and King, in all things Thee to see;

And what I do in anything to do it as to Thee.

All may of Thee partake, nothing can be so mean,

Which with this tincture, for Thy sake, will not grow bright and clean.

A servant with this clause makes drudgery divine;

Who sweeps a room, as for Thy laws, makes that and the action fine.

Tom Brewer – Denham Springs, LA

Tom Brewer grew up traveling as a dependent in an Army family. He got caught up in the “drugs, sex, and rock n roll” of the late 60s. After leaving home in the middle of his senior year in high school, he was led to the Lord in the spring of 1972 by a friend in Atlanta, GA. He then joined the Army and served four years in the infantry with the 25th Infantry Division at Schofield Barracks, HI. He reenlisted for three more years in the Military Police at Ft. Polk, LA. The Lord used the Navigators to disciple Tom while he was in the Army. After leaving the Army, Tom attended NSU in Natchitoches, LA, for two years and then transferred to LSU in Baton Rouge, LA.

Tom helped start Grace Bible Fellowship Church in Baton Rouge, LA, and he met his wife Sharon in church, where they have been members since 1982. Tom and Sharon have grown under the ministry of Pastor Mark LaCour, and they have five adult children and seven grandchildren. Retired from doing desktop support at the LSU Libraries, Tom now teaches in a Christian Classical school. Tom began doing open-air evangelism on the campus of LSU in 2013. The Lord brought other opportunities for street preaching, and over the years Tom has preached at the local abortion mill, parades, festivals, and downtown events primarily in Baton Rouge, LA, and in his home town of Denham Springs, LA. After preaching at Mardi Gras in New Orleans, LA, in 2019, Tom has been traveling with Jack Clark and Zoe White on Fridays to minister at the New Orleans abortion mill in the afternoons and open-air evangelism on Bourbon Street in the evenings. Tom also goes with the same crew to evangelize Saints fans at the home games in New Orleans. Whenever and wherever preaching, Tom’s prayer is that our gracious God will keep him faithful to the authorized gospel message as an ambassador for his Lord and Saviour, King Jesus.

The Message of Advent Never Changes

Advent is a time to prepare for the end of the world. The Church knows this because she has been aware that we are in the end times since Good Friday. Centuries have passed, yet we wait. We wait patiently for Jesus to come in glory to judge the living and the dead because he promised, “I am coming soon” (Rev 22:20).

In Advent, the Church proclaims the coming of Christ two thousand years ago, today, and on the Last Day. This is the sermon she has preached to the world since the beginning. She preached it to Jews and Romans, Germans and Nords, and all around the world. The proclamation of Christ’s coming is for all people, at all times.

But, the world changes. Nations rise and fall. Religions come and go. Technology and innovation are always changing. Cultures grow and implode. But what never changes is that the world has no use for the Church’s message. People mock the Church for her constant, one-note, preaching. “And he will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, whose kingdom will have no end.”

“It’s not happened yet, so it’s never going to happen.”

“It’s not relevant for people today.”

“What good is a message of future judgment when I’ve got to deal with other peoples’ judgment of me today?”

“I don’t even understand the point of what you’re trying to say!”

Jesus is the light and life of the world. He came to his own people, but they did not recognize him. And he still cannot get a hearing today. While the world searches for the meaning of life in ancient philosophies and new-age fads, Jesus comes and announces himself to them. The Bread of Life, the living Word of God, comes to offer true enlightenment and life to all people.

And so, to quote the great Lutheran theologian Hermann Sasse:

It will be up to men to discern a “yes” from his gospel. Men who understand “the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me” (Luke 7:23-24). Foolish perhaps in the eyes of the world, but foolishness in Christ (1 Cor 4:10). Men who hear his word throughout all the past centuries separate us from him. Men who are called by his name, to whom he said, “Your sins are forgiven” (Matt 9:2).

The message of Advent is the never-changing proclamation that time is up. Jesus has come into the world, and the Holy Spirit calls people to him by the gospel. Enlightenment is available to all sinners through Christ’s gifts of salvation. True faith and holiness are offered to the world through his word. The message of Advent is a proclamation of repentance and hope. God has come in the flesh to announce his great “yes” to all those who sit in the darkness of sin and death. To those who do receive him, who believe in his name, he gives the right to become children of God (John 1:12).
