I want to thank each of you who have given words of encouragement and for your prayers.

Financial Update

Betty and I traveled to 21 states this year to preach, win souls, and challenge God’s people. Sometimes it seems like we have broken down in every state. Our motor home is 25 years old and has a few issues, but neither of us are ready to be put out to pasture yet.

I thought I would share a few of these issues with you. You may enjoy a little humor.

·        Our fuel injector pump went out in Flower Mound, Texas. Some dear people helped with some of the expenses.

·        On several occasions, the steps did not open when I opened the door. If I had not seen it in time, I would have taken four footsteps onto the asphalt.

·        Driving thru Wyoming, Betty screamed that the 20 ft awning on her side was coming halfway down her windows on the outside of the motorhome.

·        Going thru Ohio, with a few bumps that really shook the RV, Betty let out another of her famous screams; the refrigerator door fell into the middle of the RV with its contents on the floor. After getting it fixed, it happened again.

·        In Indiana, I noticed the fan above my head lose two screws by the windshield as the fan swung down in front of my face as I was driving about 70 miles an hour. I could picture it coming down to chew up my face.

·        Several times the engine light would come on as I had long hills to climb. I just kept driving and once I started down the hills, the light would go off.

·        PRAISE THE LORD, after 8 months on the road we have arrived back in Tampa.

Motor home is now in the shop getting repairs and preparations for our next journey. We like putting the GO in the GOSPEL. Well, Betty finally catches me September 13. She will be 81. We love doing what we do, because when we get old, we might not be able to go. So, we must do what we do while we are still young.

I have realized that my biggest concern about the ministry is which radio station or employee to let go when and if the support is not sufficient to maintain what we are doing. I have learned that living by faith is living by the confidence that others have in what you are doing. Check out Yankee Arnold Ministries by going to YankeeArnold.com.

I want to seriously thank you that have helped to keep our heads above water, so our feet don’t drown. Would you continue to pray for our health, safe travels, financial support, and much fruit?

Yankee ministers in New York, Indianapolis, and Kentucky

 Yankee ministers in New York, Indianapolis, and Kentucky

Bob Dean attended the Florida Bible College back in the 70's at Hollywood, Florida. He continues to pastor the church that was started by Pastor Quentin Blueye of the Seneca Nation, plus the one he started a few years ago called High Point Community Church.

Bob was invited to speak for "The Gathering" in Syracuse, New York. We drove down on Friday and had a great breakfast Saturday morning with about 50-60 men. Bob presented part of his Indian heritage and had me show the Seneca head dress with the one feather that represented the Seneca Nation. I gave the gospel with three trusting the Lord.

I was privileged to preach at the Tonawanda Indian Baptist Church at  9:00 AM  and the High Point Community Church  in Corfu, New York at 11:00AM July 16th. 

 

This is my third year of preaching in their outdoor services. I love the atmosphere of people passing by, sitting in their cars or standing around. There was the threat of rain that stopped about 3 minutes before we started services. God was so good to us.

Sonny Blueye had taught them manay of the old "Fire-House Five Songs" from our Christian Youth Ranch days that are still a blessing to hear.

 

I changed my message about five minutes before I was to speak. I did not want my notes or Bible to get wet if it did rain, so I preached without either one. There were about 15-20 indications of salvation. Great day! God did give us showers of blessings. WATCH THIS VIDEO called "THE REAL NEW WORLD ORDER" CLICK HERE!

I met the Blueye family back in 1968 at the Roman Nose State Park, Oklahoma. I was honored to conduct the funeral for Sonny when he passed away to glory. His wife, Rachel, and her daughter, Quenna, have been special friends for over54 years.

This is my annual Indian ribbon shirt that Quenna makes for me each year. I love them.

I remember speaking for Dr. Greg Dixon almost 40 years ago at the Indianapolis Baptist Temple in Indiana. Pastor Matt Roller and I met at the Grace Conference at the Quentin Road Baptist Church in Lake Zurich a couple years ago.

I was glad to hear that when he was the youth director, he took their youth twice to a Dare 2 Share meeting with Greg Stier. Greg graduated from our Christian school in Colorado.

 

Pastor Bobby and Molly Noel

  I met Pastor Bobby Noel at the Grace Conference in June at the Quentin Road Baptist Church and was invited to preach at his new church in Princeton, Kentucky on July 30.

This gentleman on the left drove 11 hours from Maryland. He found me on YouTube and joined us for the services. 

I was totally surprised when this little country church (Lewistown Christian Church) was packed last Sunday morning. There were three that trusted the Lord at the morning service and three at the evening service.

Don't we look like golf pros? This is my son, Eddie, with his two children; Abby and Jordan.

Last Sunday we were in Kentucky, today we are in Tennessee, and Thursday we head for Georgia. It looks like we are headed back home to Florida after this Sunday. We have been gone on the road since January. Thanks to all of you for prayers and a very fruitful journey.

I travel to create "Flames in the Wind" by continuously setting souls on fire with the power of the gospel. May the fire of God's love so burn within us who believe, that we pursue the lost whatever the cost may be. 

It has been a great honor to speak at the annual "Grace Conference" for many years. Quentin Road Baptist Church has been a beacon of light for the Message of Grace in this troublesome world. Pastor Jim Scudder invites the world to see the GRACE OF GOD that works in believers. John Clark and I joined with a group that came with Pastor Jesse Martinez of Calvary Community Church in Tampa. 

 

Look at all those happy faces. I assure you that those are the "Joy of the Lord" faces. We were given a sample of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb on Friday night banquet.

The first four on the left trusted the Lord because of my YouTube ministry, so you can see why I consider them my children in the Lord.

 

These two ladies are special to Betty and me. I performed the wedding for Kyla (left) and Jesse Martinez. Rachel came from Calvary Community Church of Tampa to attend DaySpring Bible College at Quentin Road and married Paul Vasquez who is on staff at the church. This was "Showtime" for these two babies. Did you notice the two halos above my head? What do you think it means?

 

I will never forget those famous words of my brother, Little Man. "I will not move this bus until you kids sit down and be quite". Yes, I remember them well.

After an exciting ten days pilgrimage to Israel, I returned to my motor home at Quentin Road and joined Betty to travel to Perry, Ohio for July 9th services at the Heritage Bible Church.

Yes, I was a little tired from my trip to Israel, but the joy of preaching is my strength. Besides telling the lost how to go to Heaven, I greatly enjoy telling God's people how great He is. He should be more real to us than the clothes on our back.

Pastor Gregory Shirk and his wife, Kimberly, (both in green) have supported my ministry for over 15 years. He is a student of Florida Bible College Online Classes.

Yankee Ministered in Israel June 24-July 4, 2023

 ISRAEL IS THE PROOF THAT GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD

The Lord chose the Land of Israel to bring forth a Nation for the World.

The Lord chose the people of Israel to bring forth the Word of God for the World.

The Lord chose the Messiah of Israel (the Lamb of God) to pay for the sins of the World.

Gen 12:1-3  Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father's house, unto a land that I will shew thee: And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed. 

Bill Bunkley is a radio host from Tampa, Florida. Boaz Shalgi, EDITRAVEL-ISRAEL.COM, was our tour guide. I was privileged to be the guest speaker. 

  

 We rehearse some of the stories that happened by the Sea of Galilee. 

 

 After a song, message, and a pledge to the United States flag, many enjoyed the Israeli dance on board the ship.

 

It is always pleasure to stand at the Western Wall which is right before the Temple Mount in Jerusalem.

You can see how long the Eastern Wall is from this picture. The Western Wall is just as long but only a small portion is visible.
 

One of the greatest prophecies that is seldom noticed is the absence of the Temple.  Dan 9:25  Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times. Dan 9:26  And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; 

NOTICE: After the Babylon captivity, the people would return to rebuild the walls, city, and the sanctuary. When the Messiah (Christ) would come, he would be cut off  (died) and then the temple would be destroyed again. Since the temple was rebuilt and destroyed again, the absence of the Temple proves that Christ was the Messiah.  

This tunnel is North of the visible Western Wall. Can you believe, they have a hole where you can look down about 40 feet and see the actual marble foundation of Solomon's Temple base. Jewish people have placed prayers into the cracks of the stones for the coming of their Messiah.
 

Pool of Siloam remained in use during the time of Jesus. According to the Gospel of John, Jesus sent "a man blind from birth" to the pool in order to complete his healing. As a freshwater reservoir, the pool would have been a major gathering place for ancient Jews making religious pilgrimages to the city. It was great to see the pool being excavated while we were there. This is where the blind man and the crippled man was healed. This is a new discovery.

Toni Bunkley was greatly used by the Lord to get our group over a few hurdles. She helped to see that we all had a great time in Israel. 

We enjoyed gathering at the Northwest side of the Dead Sea where we were close to the Quran Caves.The Dead Sea Scrolls are ancient Jewish religious manuscripts discovered between 1946 and 1956 in these caves.

Would you believe that some just had to climb all the way to the caves and then went inside? We had a tough group.
 

The real old Jericho Road is down behind my feet that ran between Jerusalem to the left and Jericho to the right. It was a narrow and dangerous road to travel. This would be where the story of the good Samaritan would have taken place.

With the help of Bill Bunkley, we baptized about 15 of our group. Three were those that trusted the Lord on this trip. This makes about 100 that I have been privileged to baptize in the Jordan River.

 

 We thank the Lord for giving us a great Jewish tour-guide in Boaz Shalgi, EDITRAVEL-ISRAEL.COM, We traveled the land of Israel in a brand new bus.

 

This is the place where we believe Christ was laid and rose again. Here the stone is not only rolled away but gone completely.

 Boaz showed us a place on the side of a road where a stone was still at the place of a cave.

Below is my remaining schedule for this last 7 months. I may take a few more meetings on my way back to Tampa. It gives us great comfort knowing you are daily taking us to the Throne of Grace.
