Yankee travels into Colorado to 'meet memories'

 I was blessed to have Dr. Sheldon Smith of the Sword of the Lord ask to place my article on Muslim views vs American views on the front page of the Sword last month.

Mar 29, I spoke for JB Hixson who is the pastor of Plum Creek Chapel in Sedalia, CO. He is a strong Free Grace man who has a warm, friendly, and grounded congregation. 

 

Betty and I spent some time with Earlene Mathias in Carbondale, Colorado. She was the wife of the great Jack Mathias mentioned by Greg Stier of Dare to Share Ministries.

"Ralph “Yankee” Arnold and his wonderful wife Betty came to @dare2shareministries yesterday and it was powerful. He spoke at our weekly chapel service on the power of the simple Gospel and got our small team of 30 fired up! 

 

He’s been nicknamed “Yankee” his whole life because his dad, a counterfeiter and bootlegger from the backwoods of Georgia, fled to Pennsylvania from the authorities and it was there Yankee was born. That’s why his dad gave him the nickname Yankee. Actually, his dad called him “@$!# Yankee” and his mom called him “Yankee boy.”

 

He was radically saved at the age of 18 and, after attending Florida Bible College, came to Arvada, Colorado where he launched a Youth Ministry (Christian Youth Ranch), planted a church (Colorado Bible Church) and started a Christian School (Arvada Christian School.)

 

During his outreach efforts he reached my toughest uncle, Uncle Jack, with the simple Gospel. One by one my entire family full of tough guys were radically saved.

 

JACK MATHIAS

DAVE, TOM (MR. COLORADO), and JACK

As for me, I was a scared, scarred fatherless kid who didn’t fit into my tough guy family (think Young Sheldon being raised by the Sons of Anarchy.) But all of a sudden, I’m in Yankee’s youth ministry, church and Christian School. All of a sudden I have everything a young teen needs: identity, belonging and purpose. 

 

Yankee trained me to share the Gospel and I was able to lead my Ma to Christ at the age of 15. Yankee and his leaders trained me to preach then let me preach (as a young teen) in “big church.” Yankee gave me a vision for the power of the Gospel and potential of teenagers. Almost 5 decades later that is still what I’m obsessively focused on.

 

And I wasn’t the only one. He raised up countless young disciples to make disciples who made disciples who are still making disciples to this day.

 

Pray for Yankee and Betty as they travel in their RV across the nation preaching the clear and simple Gospel of grace. Pray for his YouTube channel (@Yankee Arnold ministries) continue to explode (over 500,000 views in the last 28 days!)

 

He’s 84 years old, has suffered two heart attacks and is determined to reach as many as possible for Christ before he passes into glory.

Go Yankee go!"

Greg Stier is the founder of Dare 2 share in Denver Colorado. He has a singular goal of “every teen everywhere hearing the gospel from a friend.” Greg regularly preaches across the nation and around the world, challenging believers with the power of the Gospel and the potential of teenagers. his latest book, Radical like Jesus, motivates everyday believers to live like Jesus every day. Greg is a warrior for the gospel of Grace. to find out more about Greg check out Gregstier.org

Dr. Ralph "Yankee" Arnold resigns from serving as President of the Florida Bible College of Tampa

I am sharing with you my resignation as President of Florida Bible College of Tampa. My wife has survived a heart attack and two strokes in the last year and a half. Last year, I  had two heart attacks and double pneumonia twice. No! I didn’t die, but I am more aware of my frailties. I will continue my traveling ministries, my radio broadcast in Colorado, Tampa, and my new broadcast in Phoenix, Arizona. My YouTube ministry is exploding in people being reached with the gospel. My channel has reached a total of 6,444,306 with 374,636 views in the last 28 days. Read my upcoming schedule and visit with a friend.

My letter to the Board

Greetings to each board member of the Florida Bible College of Tampa,

              As the time is passing onward, my tenure as the president of FBC must come to a close. I honestly believe the time is right to pass the baton of leadership to the next generation. I am now on my way to 85 with Betty, and we are having more medical issues to deal with. Should something happen to me, I would love to know that the Lord has given us a capable leader like Jesse E. Martinez to serve as your new president.

Jesse has my highest recommendation and is willing to accept this responsibility as quickly as possible to meet the needs of the college. As pastor of Calvary Community Church, he has a better grasp of the resources needed to benefit the school.

After much prayer by Jesse and myself, we agree that now is the time to make this work in having a smooth transition as we did with the church when he became the pastor after me. He not only graduated from FBC but has proven himself as a great leader. He has served as the Dean and instructor of the college. I believe he would make us proud.

I would greatly appreciate your vote of confidence in accepting my resignation from the presidency and as a board member on March 31, 2026, and to accept Jesse E. Martinez as the new president and board member.

The vote of all directors was unanimous.

My congratulations to the wonderful spirit of unity for Jesse E. Martinez.

Welcome to Florida Bible College of Tampa

 Pastor Roy Castillo

 

Yes, I broke down again with the inverter, but these two Christian gentlemen from Faith came to the rescue to help fix a few things. This is Jeff and Mario. Jeff (with the drill) reminded me of the man Bruce Dern. He is the man that shot John Wayne in the back in the movie, "Cowboys". I kept my eyes on him the whole time.

Bruce Dern and Jeff looks and sounded exactly alike.

Mar 15, I spoke at the Burleson Bible Church in Burleson, TX  Former church of Charlie Bing. There was a great attendance. Very warm and friendly.

Charlie and his wife arrived back from the Philippines on Friday as we arrived from San Antonio. We have been great friends for many years. He is very good on the clarity of the gospel. 

Sits like a light on a hill with the best view in Burleson. They have beautiful facilities. We were allowed to park near the church and run our generator. 

Betty got to attend the Ladies Night at the Movies. Kneeling beside Betty is Sherry Roth, the Women's Ministry Leader.
