A Passionate Soul Winner!

You Will be My Witnesses...
James McCollough, the "Witnessing Hitchhiker," left, in Indy with my son, Caleb.

My 18-year-old son, Caleb, and I are at the Southern Baptist Convention in Indianapolis, Indiana, where I have manning an exhibit for the Acts 1:8 Challenge, among other responsibilities.

Speaking of Acts 1:8, I have met perhaps no better example of "You will my witnesses..." in my life than the Rev. James McCollough of California.

I have know James for nearly 18 years. James has used his "hitchhiking" ministry as a way meet people and tell them about Jesus. Believe it or not, he hitchhiked all the way from his home in California to Indianapolis, witnessing to people all along the way!

My prayer is that we all will have the same passion for sharing Jesus as James does!

During our meeting with James, Caleb prayed for God to protect James on his way home to California.
