Betty and I attended the graduation of our grand-daughter, Abby Arnold.

Abby Arnold is the daughter of Eddie Ray and Deborah Arnold. She will be 18years old in August. She graduated with honors from Athens Christian School in Athens, Georgia. She has been raised with great tender love and care by both parents and grandparents on both sides.

  

 



Would you believe that this cat climbed upon the table and posed for me to take her picture. I couldn't refuse, so for all you  cat lovers, I hope you enjoy seeing this beautiful cat.


WHILE IN GEORGIA

Betty and I stopped in to visit with some special people from the Northside Baptist Church in Athens. Assistant Pastor John Hembree, was preaching May 22. He is a graduate from the Florida Bible College of Tampa. Besides being a great defender of the gospel, he is a great presenter and defender of the Word. I am very proud of John-John. Cody Kuhns blew me away with his soft, sweet, warm and tender voice as he led the singing. Cody heard me on YouTube a few years ago and started visiting Northside each Sunday from up in North Carolina. He moved his family down and is very involved in the ministry.

Update on my health: I still have an occasional cough and tire easily, but I enjoy traveling and preaching. Multitudes prays for my healing and that I would continue preaching the gospel. Well, I  believe with all  my hearth that God has raised me up just for that purpose. I plead with you, please don't forsake me now. Keep praying continually.

Yankee visits with Pastor Tom Cucuzza in St. Cloud, Minnesota 2022

Pastor Tom Cucuzza and I worked together in Arvada, Colorado back in 1978-80. I am proud to count him as one of my close friends. He is faithful to the clarity of the Gospel and has built a very strong body of believers at the Northland Bible Baptist Church in St. Cloud, Minn. It was a pleasure to preach for him three times on Sunday May 15th.
Pastor Cucuzza spoke at the Ladies Tea with three indicating they would trust Christ as their Savior.

The two photos below are of two families who both drove about two hours to attend the morning services. Since they were from the same area, they met and agreed to carpool together to attend Northland.

Good churches that are clear on the gospel and dispensationally correct are very hard to find. You will find a very warm and friendly church when you come to hear Pastor Tom Cucuzza.

Yankee's First Tent Revival Gotta see it to believe it.

Last year, Pastor Neal Dearyan told me about his annual Wild-game Dinner at his church in Chili, Ohio. I was truly excited when he again confirmed my speaking under the big tent. Even though I have not gotten all my strength from my bout with covid, I did not want to miss this great event.

 

When I spoke at the church last year, Neal told me about a dream to purchase some twelve acres of land to build larger facilities in order to reach and train more people. I love a man who has a great God who desires to do great things through a faithful servant. This year, Neal and his wife, Julie, showed me their purchased possession (plowed ground behind us) of those 12 acres.

 
 This is the artist rendition of their new church with the gymnasium to be added.
 
 
 
 When I entered the tent and saw over 500 chairs, I had my doubts about them being filled. I guess, if you want the fruit, you have to go out on the limb. It was windy, cold, and very cloudy with drops of rain.

Chili Crossroads Bible Church is located on a lonely, winding, narrow, country road. Where would the people come from? But come, they did! What a blessing to watch some Amish and Mennonites arrive in horse and buggy.
 
 LOOK AT THE CLOUDS!!
Would you believe it didn't rain on the party? People started coming from everywhere.

LOOK AT THE CROWD!! 
Over 500 people DID show up for the Wild-Game Dinner. There was alligator, bison, venison,  emu, beef tenderloin, and coconut jumbo shrimp.
 
I had always desired to preach under a big tent. I was in hog-heaven being able to give the gospel to so many lost people. A conservative number was about 30 indicating they would trust the Lord as the one who paid for their sins.

It was a privilege to hear Ohio Congressman Troy Balderson (pictured) and Justice Patrick Fischer, of the Ohio Supreme Court.
  Jack and Barbi Stahl surprised us Sunday morning May the 8th. Long time friends from the old Florida Bible College.
 
One cannot help but be totally impressed with great sacrifice of so many members and volunteers who worked so hard for the cause of Christ. Their auditorium was constantly being set up and taken down to accommodate the many ministries. Just so you know, Julie is the daughter of the late Dr. James Scudder. She truly has her dad's love and compassion for the ministry. I have known Neal for 30 years, and he has proven to be a faithful man with a burden for souls. Keep this ministry in your prayers for their new building.

Yankee speaks at a FREE WILL Baptist Church in Pikeville, Kentucky

 This is an amazing story about God working his will through a yielded servant. Tyler Branham drove two hours to hear me preach in Tennessee at the Double Springs Baptist Church. That evening he asked if I would come to the Valley Grace Free Will Baptist Church and preach the sermon, "The Coming Wrath of God" (about prophecy). Since it was on my way to Chili, Ohio, I agreed to speak on that Wednesday night.
 

You would be surprised  to know how many ways you can weave Eternal Security into a message where many Free Will Baptist believe you can lose salvation. The message on Eternal Security was greatly received and Pastor Randy invited me back any time I am able to come.

Chris Barkley sent this; "I got to meet and hang out with Ralph 'Yankee' Arnold today. I have heard so many stories about this man and how he takes the Gospel to ALL the world. Can’t wait till our breakfast meeting tomorrow and hear some more from him" Thanks Tyler Branham for bringing him to Pikeville.

  

Chris had just returned from Denver, Colorado as one of the youth leaders from around America that joined Greg Stier of Dare 2 Share for special training in the art of soul-winning.

Betty and I love to take a morning walk through the RV campgrounds where ever we stay. This young man trusted the Lord and gave us permission to use his picture.
When the man in the blue coat trusted the Lord, his wife opened the door, so I proceeded to explain to her how to be certain of Eternal Life. After she trusted the Lord, we continued to talk about our travels and where I spoke the Wednesday night before. I could not remember the name of the church so they asked questions and found that she knew the name of the pastor. It was her uncle, but she never understood the gospel. We heard from another individual that she immediately had gone back into the house and called her uncle. What a blessing. They had parked beside us only for that day. Isn't it exciting to watch God work?
This was the first day I have been able to complete 9 holes of golf, since I had covid.

You know you are getting old when you sit in a swing and can't get it going. She did!

Yankee's 2022 Summer Update with Pastor Randy Waller

It was a great blessing to once again be invited to preach at the oldest church (over 240 years ) in America for Pastor Randy Waller. Betty enjoyed the Ladies Tea on Saturday.


Betty and I enjoyed our morning walk every day. They have a 30amp hook-up for our motor home up on the hill. I feel like I'm getting stronger a little everyday. Continue praying.
I was privileged to have a Sunday School session on Soul-winning and to preach the morning and evening services. 

Tyler and Hope Branham drove 2 hours from Pikeville, KY to visit with us at Double Springs Baptist Church in Kingsport, TN. Betty took a picture of them with their daughter, Brynn. They found me on my YouTube Channel and drove all that way. What a blessing!

 

This picture is is Tyler's son, Reed. I need to be a friend with these young men, I may want to preach in his church someday.


I had some damage to the left rear motor home when I scraped a huge boulder. Pastor Randy screwed some of the panels together to keep them from blowing and flapping in the wind. He truly is a man of all trades. Thank you.
