7 principles on how to present the clear, easy to understand, simple GRACE GOSPEL
These are the same 7 principles on how to present the clear, easy to understand, simple GRACE GOSPEL that I have been using for over 62 years.

These are the same 7 principles on how to present the clear, easy to understand, simple GRACE GOSPEL that I have been using for over 62 years.
Good afternoon, Yankee.
My name is Ray Vaughn. I will never forget you. I live in Tallahassee, Fl, and as soon as I get a chance, I'd like to come to your church and shake your hand. I know that when I die, I'm going to Heaven. I lost my brother Matt on March 9th, and then I lost my sister Pat on May 19th. It's been a rough year. But I'm thankful that I was able to share the gospel with them both, and they trusted Christ, so I know I'll see them again. I don't mean to take up too much of your time, but you were the only one who made the gospel clear to me when I was 63. I'm 65, now and I hope to get a chance to meet you in person. God bless you and your ministry.

Hey Yankee, it's me, Ray from Tallahassee. A lot of people couldn't believe that I drove from Tallahassee to Tampa to hear you preach and to shake your hand, but it was a great honor to meet you and your lovely wife. Thanks for preaching the clear Gospel ππΎππΎ

As we were going to pass through Louisville, Kentucky, I called Heather Akins to meet us at Cracker-Barrel for lunch. She brought two others that I had led to Christ several years ago. Heather trusted the Lord from watching my videos on YouTube.
Sept 27th -30th I was privileged to preach for Pastor Lance Edminster of the Grace Gospel Church in Taconite, Minn. Lance is my spiritual grandson in the Lord. Lance has had many difficult health issues this year. His wife, Karla, is truly a jewel. Continue to pray for Lance’s kidneys, blood-clots, and heart issues. I will be preaching for Grace Gospel Church again this Sunday the 18th.
Oct 4th, I was honored to preach three services from Northland Bible Baptist Church in St. Cloud, Minn for my long-time friend, Pastor Tom Cucuzza.

Pastor Tom and I have been friends ever since he worked for our Colorado ministry about 50 years ago. The Lord has blessed him and Sue with three beautiful children and a wonderful ministry. I am proud to call Tom one of my close special friend in the Lord.

Sue was one of the students from our first graduating class where I pastored at the Colorado Bible Church in Arvada. I was honored to see her compassion to help my wife while we were with them. While I am preaching, I must rely on many pastor’s wives to watch her for me. Betty has been confined to a wheelchair for the last two years. We have asked the Lord to bless those who pray for us. Thank you so much.
Pastor Jim Mucerino of the Bemidji Baptist Church in Minnesota has had me as a speaker for about 10 years. As soon as I arrived, he made the mistake of asking how I was doing and how the motor home was running. Without hesitation, I told him how I had lost electricity on all my receptacles on both sides of the coach. I knew that I would have to get an electrician and Jim was no electrician. Before I knew it Jim was on the floor tearing things apart. It wasn’t long before he solved the problem and everything was working.
Robin, Jim’s wife, put two women in charge of looking out for Betty’s needs. They gave her much love and care. In the last two years, Betty has had a heart attack, two strokes, and a broken femur bone. Thanks for your continued prayer for her.

A Lesson for Lou - New Children's Book by Gary Stefan
A Lesson for Lou
Gary is my close personal friend of many years and is on the board of Yankee Arnold Ministries. Children love stories and the right stories with the proper straits for building character are a plus for any parent, teacher, or child who can read. This is a perfect gift that would be ideal even for the coming holidays. Check it out.
THE AUTHOR: Gary J. Stefan, with the encouragement of his loving wife, Dara and Illustration support by Zech Luluquisin, 15, a straight A student and aspiring artist and food scientist, is excited to present his first children's storybook, A LESSON FOR LOU.
Gary is very passionate about sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ, which assures everlasting life to all those who believe on Jesus' death, burial and resurrection as the only means of their salvation. www.FreeGiftQuiz.com A LESSON FOR LOU offers valuable lessons for children and adults alike, reflecting on the love and grace of God, which extends to all mankind.
THE STORY: A Crab named Lou chooses to skip school forsaking the security and protection of the bay by venturing out to sea. Dangerous consequences result. Lou's adventure teaches that choices have consequences, revealing God's grace and love, the value of friendship, education, wisdom, truth and compassion.
In A LESSON FOR LOU, young readers are introduced to Lou, a spirited crab who decides to skip school, ignoring the wise counsel of his best friend Daisy, a diligent yellow tang. Instead of attending classes with esteemed teachers like Mr. Dolphin, Miss Haddock, and Miss Finn, Lou ventures into the vast ocean, where he encounters unforeseen challenges and dangers. His journey takes him far from the safety of the port by the bay, leading to moments of peril that test his courage and judgment. When Lou finds himself in trouble, it is a kind-hearted fisherman who rescues him, bringing him back to the familiar shores.
This experience becomes a turning point for Lou, teaching him the significance of education and the wisdom of listening to those who care for him. The story beautifully illustrates how our choices can lead to unexpected consequences, emphasizing the importance of making wise decisions.
A LESSON FOR LOU reflects deeper themes of love and grace, drawing parallels to the teachings of Jesus Christ. It serves as a gentle reminder that no matter our mistakes, there is always a path back to safety and understanding through compassion and faith.
This enchanting tale not only entertains but also imparts essential life lessons, making it a perfect read for children and adults alike. Join Lou on his journey and discover the transformative power of learning and friendship.

The Spiritual War Against Israel by Jim Scudder and Phil Stringer
The Spiritual War Against Israel
I have known the late Dr. James Scudder (founder and former pastor of Quentin Road Baptist Church) for many years. I have preached for him and his son, Jim Scudder, Jr. on many occasions. I have shared several trips to Israel with both father and son and know of their love for the people of Israel.
I could not wait to read this new book that truly clarifies the what and why of so much hatred for Israel and the Jews in particular. This book should be required reading for every student of the Word of God. All pastors would gain great clarity in the simplicity of understanding Israel's past, present, and future standing and position in the sovereign plan of God.
