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.

Did God have a purpose for creating the nation of Israel, or have they simply been replaced by the Church? God's Word gives Israel a unique place in His plan. Understanding that purpose helps us better understand God's promises, prophecy, and His faithfulness.

In my book, The Spiritual War Against Israel, co-authored with Pastor Jim Scudder, Jr., I examine what Scripture teaches about Israel's place in God's plan and why it still matters today.

The Spiritual War Against Israel is available now from InGrace with Jim Scudder, Jr., Amazon, Kindle, and Audible.

Yankee schedule update for the Fall of 2026

 Yankee schedule update for the Fall of 2026

First of all, I want to express my sincere thank you for your many prayers and generous financial support for Betty and me during the last 4 months. 

After Betty had a heart attack in  Kansas City, two strokes in Pharr, Tex., and a broken leg in Jackson Hole, Wy, I had to cancel 4 months of meetings across America. This was the first time in over 60 years I had to do this, but the good Lord allowed this new direction to take place in our lives at this time. 

 Betty has made great improvements in the healing of her leg, although she is pretty much limited to the use of a walker (most times a wheelchair). She encouraged me to try 3 weeks in our car to see how she would do. Here are the results:

We just had to stop at our daughter's home in Nicholson, Ga. and then I spoke at the Northside Baptist Church in Athens, for John Hembree. John is the pastor and had graduated from the Florida Bible College in Tampa. He is a superman on the clarity of the gospel.

 

The following Wed and Fri night services, we spent with  Pastor Neil Dearyan and Julie at the Crossroad Baptist Church in Fresno, Ohio. 

 Their Simple Steps with promotion.

 

At the last moment, they allowed me to speak for prayer meeting and then Simple Steps on Friday. The Lord has truly blessed these two with genuine Christian hospitality. They put us up in a nice hotel for three nights and showered us with love. Betty was impressed with Neal's helping her in and out of the car and pushing her around. These two smile more than any couple I know. If you get close, stop in and visit.

Pastor Bob Dean (right) has allowed me the privilege of preaching for him for about 25 years. He pastors two churches in New York. Tonawanda Indian Baptist Church  565 Bloomingdale Rd Basom, New York and  High Point Community Church  1163 Main Rd. Corfu, New York. Bob is one of the best Indians I know. He is also a graduate of Florida Bible College and was trained by the late Sonny Blueye.

I left Buffalo on Monday 3rd, and received these emails.        

"I had emailed you earlier about a possible booking following your ministering at High Point Community Church, as we are nearby. I know you’ve been dealing with Betty’s health issues and I’ve been praying. I wanted to reach out to see if it’s at all possible to meet up with you, treat you to a meal, if you’re still in the area. I’ve benefited from your ministry and would like to just connect with you. If not, no worries. Thank you and God bless.

 

 

Mark had started taking classes online at Florida Bible College.us and is now the pastor of Five Mile Baptist Church in Allegany, NY

WE MET!!! 

"Yankee, thank you once more for taking the time to have breakfast with us. We greatly enjoyed meeting you and spending that time with you. 

We are Mark and Leanne Yuhnke. Our sons are Jermaine and Micah. We are at Five Mile Baptist Church in Allegany, NY. 

We are happy to have you anytime you are in the area. 

May the Lord continue to bless you and Betty!"

Mark 

 

Ted Horton went home to be with the Lord after a series of illnesses. He was led to the Lord through the ministry of Dr. Hank Lindstrom of Calvary Community Church in Tampa. I was invited to share in the service with Pastor Jeff Mims of  Life Gate Baptist Church in Arab, Ala. 

 

 

 

After the funeral last Thursday, we headed for our home in Tampa. We made a late call to our friends in Ga. and they graciously put us up for the night. 

Matt Brown and his wife Kim both trusted the Lord because of our YouTube ministry. His brother, Michael and his wife, Nicole also trusted the Lord from listening to my messages on YouTube. They treated us to breakfast the next morning. Don't tell me that soul-winning doesn't pay off. What a blessing!
