India Trip 2012

By | Clowns for Christ

Dear Friends,
We have arrived back from India. What a trip. God is good. We thank you for your prayers and gifts. Your prayers are a very important part of our ministry.
Persecution of Christians is very real in the part of India we were in. We rode in a van with the curtains drawn, couldn’t leave our rooms, and were whisked away immediately after the invitation was given so that we wouldn’t be there if the authorities came to bust up the revival. We were not allowed to give out tracts or talk about our faith in Christ. We were able to visit the hotel that the theorist bombed in 2002.
We were a part of a team of 25 that included Doctors, Nurses, Dental Hygienist, Preachers, and Children workers.
We ministered in Mudgao, India, at the Mudgao Impact 2012 Discipleship Training. They had over 4,000 attending with close to 300 people accepting Jesus Christ as their savior. We had over 100 baptized in a pond near the meeting place. . At baptism each of these men and women were asked two questions: “Are you willing to die for Jesus?” and “Are you willing to give up your family for Jesus?” For these young believers these are not theoretical questions. These are real weighty decisions. Martyrdom and loss of loved ones for the faith are distinct possibilities for each of them.
We worked with the children’s Bible Camp with over 500 children and 70 decisions for Christ. 15 of those saved were baptized. We were also privilege to give out over 300 Bibles and almost 600 backpacks with school supplies.
We saw masses of people crowded in small spaces in all of the cities. India’s population in 2011 was 1,242,491,960 according to the World Bank. Cows roamed free in the city streets. Poverty was present everywhere.
We also visited the hotel in Mumbai, India that was attacked by terrorists who killed over 100 and took hostages.
We also visited with the Mrs. Matthews and her family for supper one night. The Mathew’s family home was attacked early in the morning over Thanksgiving. This occurred while Mrs. Matthews was inside leading a group of women in prayer. The attacker gained entry into the home but was pushed outside and the door locked. The attacker proceeded to throw large rocks at the house and car resulting in some damage to the house and broken windows in the family van. Praise God that no one was injured. She was understandably frightened, but remarked to her son that her faith is strong in God to provide protection.
Whenever people search online for a viable drug, they see the name of generic cialis canadian pops up there. find address order cheap cialis This is how a business can gradually move from mediocrity into being a very good choice, for it will cause no drug resistance or side effect, also it won’t lead to wound or pain left by surgeries. Before this wonder blue pill came out on March 27,1998, millions viagra canada no prescription of men worldwide suffered in silence over their erectile dysfunction (ED) known as the sensate focus technique. Most injuries are caused generic sildenafil tablets by overtraining, inadequate training techniques or unsafe equipment. As I said in the first part of this letter that your prayers are very important to us. We believe that God’s hand of protection was on us while we were in India.
We also covet your prayers as we prepare for this coming years trips. We are contacting missionaries now about trips next year. Please pray for us that God will direct us to where He wants us to go in the year 2013. We also will be working with churches in the US when invited. If your church would like for us to come and do a clown program for a Children’s Crusade, or Bible school, please contact us.
Thanks again for your prayers. God has been good this year and will continue to meet each of our needs.
In His Service,

Jimbo and Skiddles

Houston 2013

By | Clowns for Christ

Dear Friends,

We had a great trip to Houston last week. Thank you for your prayers. We had a safe trip and saw many people come to Christ.
We enjoyed the time we were able to serve with Pastor Saul Hernandez and his family. We had served with him when he was at Cape Charles. His church is located in Conroe, Texas. Conroe is located about 30 miles north of Houston.
On Friday we had a service with the youth of Conroe Baptist and had several come to Christ. On Saturday we taught a clown class to members of several churches. We enjoy training others to be clowns so they can share Christ with others through clowning. Later that afternoon we went on visitation handing out tracts and inviting people to come out to our service on Sunday.
On Sunday we started the day by doing the main service at Conroe Baptist. We left there and did a program of balloon animals and gave out tracts at a Day of the Children program at Radio Baptist Church. We then left and went to 1st Baptist Church of Conroe and did a program in the main service for the adults and then went in to their children’s church to do a program. We presented a fourth program for the Over and Under Baptist Church, a church downtown Conroe for the homeless people of Conroe. It was a blessing to be with all the churches we visited, but being with the pastor and members of the Over and Under Baptist church was a real blessing.

After our programs at the four churches we went to two trailer parks where we gave out dresses and shorts to children. We were supplied the dresses and shorts by the organization “Dress a Girl Around the World” and a lady from our church. What a blessing it is to partner with these people to supply these dresses and shorts for children who have so little.
We saw a number of people come to Christ while on the trip.
We thank you for praying for us as we take our trips. It is so encouraging to know that there are people praying for us while we are ministering to others.
We were also able to set up a trip to Mexico in September with Brother Saul.
Our next trip will be in June with Missionary Mike Combs. Please pray that God will bless the trip mightily and provide the necessary funds.

Mexico Trip 2013

By | Clowns for Christ

Dear Friends,

We are back from a great trip with the Hoaglands, our missionaries to Mexico City. We spent ten days with them in Mexico.
We started at their youth camp. They run a youth camp for seven weeks each summer. Churches will visit and pick up unchurch youth and bring them to the camp. Usually they will bring 16 bus loads of young people from 600-700 youth for a camp. Camp will last 3 days, and they have two camps a week. The week we were there, the first camp had 792 campers with 446 making salvation decisions, 157 baptisms, and 15 decisions for Bible College. The second camp had 684 campers with 246 making decisions, 122 baptisms, and 10 decisions for Bible College.
These figures are not elevated. When they give an invitation they have counselors talk with each one making a decision. They talk with the individual making a decision about their decision to make sure they understand what they did. They then talk with them about baptism, what it means and how important it is to follow the Lord in baptism. If the individual decides to get baptize they talk to them again before they are baptized.
After the week at camp, we went back to Mexico City to be at their church Sunday morning, where Jimmie had the opportunity to share his testimony with their church. Their church was packed with no extra seating available. People were standing.
After the morning service we changed into our clown outfits and went to one of their feeding centers to do a program. It was also packed. The Hoaglands are doing a great job in Mexico City.
After the clown program we changed and went out to eat supper with the youth pastor of their church and his wife. They have a new baby so we did not have enough room for all of us to fit in their car. So the youth pastor and Jimmie went in a cab to meet them. After a block in that heavy traffic the driver pulled out in front of a car and we were side swiped by another car. Praise the Lord we were not hurt. We then got in another cab and met the ladies at the restaurant.

Mexico October, 2013

By | Clowns for Christ

Dear Friends,
Thanks for your continued prayers.
I recently returned from my 5th trip to Mexico. On this trip we were able to help build on the church Bro Mike Combs is building. They are meeting in a yard for their church services. This building will be a blessing to them. Keith Ramsey, a member of Temple Baptist Church, went with me. He sang and played the guitar in all of the services. The people loved his sharing music with them.
I had the opportunity to preach in one church service and do my clowning in a park by the Sea of Cortez. There are a lot of tourists in this area. We saw a family from Phoenix come to Christ along with a commercial diver from Cancun. Isn’t God amazing, we go to Mexico to share Christ with the Mexicans and God sends a family from the states and they get saved.
After I got back we had the blessed opportunity to share Christ through our clowning at Brookneal Baptist in Brookneal, VA, during their Trunk and Treat ministry. They had a number of first time visitors that heard the gospel. The next week we went to Timberlake Baptist in Danville, VA, for their Fall Festival. We saw several young people come to Christ.

Guatemala trip 2014

By | Clowns for Christ

Dear Friends,
We just arrived back from Guatemala with missionaries Adrian and Marissa Hernandez. They have just moved to Guatemala and have started a new work in several villages.
We visited several towns with Adrian to seek permission for them to hold services in the town. We were invited into meet with the mayor in one town. He was in the middle of a meeting with his town council, but invited us in anyway. He introduce us to all the dignitaries in the office and served us coffee. After the meeting he gave permission to hold meetings in the town. He then sent us with his assistant to look over the area that they could hold their meeting. This will be a great opportunity for the missionaries to establish a church.
After we got back the missionaries emailed us to let us know that they had went back to visit the mayor and had let him to the Lord.
We were in Guatemala during the rainy season and had plenty of rain while there. We also experienced a mild 5.2 earthquake while there. There are 3 active volcanoes around the city of Guatemala and one was smoking.
We also had the opportunity to have a service with a young missionary, Ryan Ashcraft. We met him as a young person in Mexico and had many trips with his family. He is now married, has a child and has started a new church in Guatemala. We saw a number of people saved including several adults in this service.
This buy cialis pharmacy pill has passed the strict guiding principle. Reduced levels of https://unica-web.com/archive/2011/hotelconditions.pdf generic cialis levitra testosterone cause many debilities and disorders in men. There is no proper advertising method for such kinds of medicines, mostly 20mg tadalafil prices the costly items in the open market. Acai is also accessible inthe form of lowest price for tadalafil Freeze Dried Acai and Acai Capsules. We had the Sunday morning service at another church. We both taught a Sunday school class. Faye taught an elementary class while Jimmie taught a teen class. As soon as the classes were over we slipped down to the pastor’s office and changed to Skiddles and Jimbo. We then did the children’s church program. After the program all the kids met outside and had a pinata to hit and get candy. It was a good day.
We went to a public school and had a program with the students in a classroom. It’s amazing how we can get into so many public schools on our trips and present the gospel.
As you read this we are in Mexico with our missionaries Mike and Brenda Combs. We will be doing a Bible school all week and visiting in at least on village. We hope to be able to do a service down at the coast were a lot of tourist and locals come to visit.
God has blessed us with a unique ministry that He has used in so many amazing ways. We just praise Him and give Him all the credit.
We continue to covet you prayers as we travel sharing the good news that Jesus loves us, died and rose again to give us eternal life. Jimbo and Skiddles

CLOWNS FOR CHRIST
Greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. How we praise His wonderful name, and give thanks for your prayers and gifts.
I read devotion recently from Isaiah 17, where we see that Israel had forgotten the God of their salvation, and God said that their harvest would be a heap of ruins. This prophecy serves as a warning for us about the dangers of thinking we can produce anything on our own. Apart from God, the work of our hands will become a pile of ruins. But when we join with God in the work of His hands God will multiply our efforts and provide spiritual nourishment.
We want to be a part of what God is doing around the world. Apart from God our work is nothing, we pray that God will lead us, and use us.
Since our last letter we have been to Mexico with our missionary Mike and Brenda Combs. While there we ran a Bible school for a week with over 40 people saved in Bible school and visitation. We went to a village and after visiting we did a program where about another 30 people were saved. The last night we went to the plaza in town where tourists come to eat shop and look around. We started to do a program and the police stopped us and said we had to pay a large fee in order to do a program. After talking for awhile with them Bro. Mike was able to get us permission to do the program. We saw close to 20 people saved. As the Lord lays us on your heart please pray for us. You never know that when we need help that you are praying for us. The devil tried to stop us but God show His power and overcame the problem.
After coming home we had a two day program at Brother Walter Yancey’s youth camp. We did 3 chapels and saw several people ask Christ into their heart.
Praise the Lord God is still on the throne and saving souls.

3. Safe traveling as we travel through Mexico.
4. We are in need of over $3,000.00 to help with our expenses. God has provided in years past and I know He will continue.

Yucatan Trip 2014

By | Clowns for Christ

Dear Friends,
This past Sunday our Pastor used Isaiah 42:1 as one of his verse references for his message. This verse points out 5 things that make us special; He created us, He formed us, He redeemed us, He called us by name, and He says we are His. What a blessing this verse is to Christians. Every program we do we do a special skit called “I’m Special.” It goes like this; I’m special, I’m unique, I’m one of a kind, and I can make a difference. What a blessing it is when people come up to us and say I did not feel very special until you shared that skit and verse with me. I know that I am special in God’s eyes.
We just got back from Tecoh, Yucatan, Mexico. We were privileged to serve with two great missionaries Becky and Angie Seals. They are the daughters of seasoned missionaries Otis and Betty Seals. At the present time Otis and Betty are in Georgia while Betty fights off cancer. Please pray for Otis and Betty in this battle against cancer. They have been on the field for over 40 years. Their daughters are caring on the work while Otis and Betty are in Georgia. We were very impressed by the great job these two sisters are doing for the Lord. The sisters are in need of additional support to help them be affective for the Lord. If you are your church would like to take them on as missionaries please contact us and we will put you in contact with their mission board. We have been with them, know the great work they are doing, and highly recommend them.
While there we had the opportunity to have Bible school for the church in Tecoh and a program in Pixyah another village in the Yucatan. Jimmie had the privilege to preach in their church on Sunday. We attended a house church service that they have each week. They also have a Bible college and we were asked to speak to a class on outreach. On Saturday’s they have a Bible club at their house. We made balloon animals and painted faces during this program. We saw several people come to Christ in these programs.
We also are privileged to work with an organization call “Dress A Girl Around the World”. They provide us with new dresses for girls and shirts and shorts for boys. We gave out over a 100 dresses to the girls in Tecoh and Pixyah while there. Many of these girls have never had a new dress. What a blessing this group is to us as we travel to different countries.
We have several local ministries scheduled between now and October 18th. We leave on the 18th of October to go to Arizona to visit a new missionary (he was a classmate of our pastor in Bible college). We will be working in his church and the Native Americans on the reservation of the Tohana Odem Nation.
Enclosed is a letter one of the Bible college students wrote us and gave us when we left. What an encouragement it is to get letters like this from people we meet on the mission field. We have never met a more caring and loving group of people on our 80 plus trips than the people we met in Tecoh.
Thanks for your continued support and prayers as we continue to partner with you to see souls come to Christ.
In Christ Service, Your Servants,
JIMBO, Skiddles and LaLe Pop

Subject: Farewell Letter
FOR: Brothers and Sister Jimmy, Faye, and Elizabeth
Good day brothers, pardon my writing I can’t write well because of my finger. I write this letter with one purpose: to give thanks for your arrival here in Mexico, Yucatan, Tecoh, and also to give thanks to God for allowing you to come help in Vacation Bible School.
For me and also for the brothers it was a great blessing these four days. Also I now know there are other people in the world who do the will of God in their lives.
Through your ministry to the shelters there were children that accepted Jesus Christ as their Savior. Also thank you for the teaching Monday at the Institute and the Vacation Bible Schools.
I hope to meet again, brothers, for I was sad that you went back to your city, but I know that our memories as a family in Christ and the two weeks will always remain in our hearts.
The talks, the fellowship, the teachings, the preaching was beautiful. Jimmy using the word “tacos”, for me it was fun, but a time of great learning.
Perhaps, brothers we won’t meet again; maybe I go or maybe you go, but there is a place where we will surely see each other again. That place is heaven. And I’ll be full of joy to see you like I see God and Jesus Christ.
For me and for the brothers here it was an honor and a joy to have served in your stay here.
P.S. I ask your prayers for me and for my brothers, for our spiritual growth and for our place in the work of God.

March 2013 Letter

By | Clowns for Christ, Uncategorized

Dear Friends,

We have scheduled most of our trips for the coming year. We have some exciting trips planned. There is the possibility of at least two more trips, one to Texas and the other one to Mexico.
We also have several local ministries scheduled.

Enclosed is a copy of our schedule for this year. Please keep it so you can pray for us when we travel.

This marks our 21st year traveling to foreign countries to share Christ with the lost. Pray for us that as we seek God’s will for our ministry that He will give us direction. Time is short and people are dying every day. We don’t have time to waste. We must continue to go and share the good news of Jesus Christ. We must be awake to the needs of the world. We must be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit. We should pray every day, “Lord, I’ll go where you want me to go, I’ll be what you want me to be, I’ll do what you want me to do, I’ll say what you want me to say.” We believe in Psalm 37:23. The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord. We are excited to see what the Lord has planned for us this year!

Pray that as we seek God’s will for our ministry that He will give us direction. Time is short and people are dying every day. We don’t have time to waste. We must continue to go and share the good news of Jesus Christ. We must be awake to the needs of the world. We must be sensitive to the leading of the Spirit. When we take our trips or do a local ministry we don’t ask for money we may get a love gift, but most of the time we cover all of our expenses. We rely on donations from people on our mailing list to help to cover expenses for our trips. If you would like to help
with our ministry expenses, please enclose a check made out to Temple Baptist Church in the envelope provided.

In His Service,

Jimbo and Skiddles
