Yankee’s
Traveling Update with Colorado Friends
Ralph “Yankee”
Arnold
I was priviledged to give the gospel at the First Southern Baptist Church in Northglenn,
CO. Pastor Dan Dellinger is a product of our ministry of over 40 years
ago. Michelle graduated from our college. It is great to see them serving the Lord
together after all these years. They brought together some precious people whom
we knew years ago for great fellowship. Two men showed up because they have
been listening to me on the Denver radio station KLTT. One man was in tears and
I received bear hugs from both. Dan and Michelle gave us three days at the
Double-Tree Hotel. What a blessing. I am very proud of Dan.
After speaking for Dan, we dropped to
visit with Pastor Rick Long of Grace Church in Arvada.
Rick and Shelly graduated from our
Arvada Christian Schools, worked in our ranch, bus ministry, camps, Friday
night soul-winning, church and college. Rick was a great student, youth worker,
and has been blessed with unique speaking abilities. The Lord has used him in
building an awesome soul-winning ministry.
They have
built a new church with four major services every week.
One of the first persons that I met
was Barry Gammel. I married him and his wife together 33 years ago. When
I came to Colorado 52 years ago, I was told to reach the adults, because teenagers
do not have any money. But those teenagers, were easier to lead to Christ, got
married, produced children, and are now the adults with good strong families.
It is such a blessing to see so many laborers for Christ still standing for the
clarity of the gospel.
I never thought that
on our 60th anniversary (June 8th), we would actually be in
the same area with Greg Stier in Frisco. By the way, he bought us a
great breakfast. Rick and Greg are continuing to built a legacy of their own by
the souls they have led and will lead to Christ. I love these guys.
These are comments that Greg shared
on his facebook page. “It
was so great to connect with “Yankee” and Betty Arnold today for breakfast in
Frisco, Colorado. God used Yankee to lead my rough and tough North Denver
family to Christ, help us grow in our faith and mobilize us to share the Gospel
clearly and consistently. Good timing too because I’m on a writing retreat for
a book that tells the story of my family’s radical conversion to Christ through
his ministry! Got some more good stories from him! So thankful for these two
and their influence in my life and family. There’s no way I would be doing
Dare2share if God hadn’t used them to give me a vision, passion and strategy
for evangelism!”
TONIGHT:
It is supper with Kenny and Sharon Jackson Sanchez and breakfast in the morning
with Mike Triem who is the Crawford Western Regional Manager of KLTT 670. I
have been on this station for about 9 years at 8:30am.
Hoping
to arrive in Cheyenne by June 10th Wed. night to meet with Dr.
Richard Seymour. Then we go St. Cloud, Minn. to speak for Pastor Tom
Cucuzza this Sunday morning and evening.
