Gary became a Christian when he was 9 years old in a small church in 1960 in OK. A women evangelist was preaching
He answered the call to be a minister at age 15 and began a traveling ministry to hundreds of youth
In 2005 Gary started BALNAM which stands for Be a Light Not a Mouth. He started showing compassion and listening and serving and finding unique ways to let them know you care.
Dying to yourself through selfless serving
Phil 3:10, conforming to His death
The mindset of so many people is that love is nothing but a word
In 1998 Gary was broken with compassion
On a daily basis, Gary and his wife challenge themselves whether they are doing things for themselves or for the Kingdom
Jesus chose to give of Himself because He loved us so much, how can we not do the same for Him
God never told the government to feed the homeless, that was always the responsibility of His children
When you serve others you begin to have compassion for them, not the other way around
You'll never get compassion reading a book or watching a TV program
When you stay with a group of people, faithfulness and fruitfulness comes making hard decisions and being loyal to each other
The Lord put a love for motorcycles in Gary long ago. It became a tool for him to open doors with others.
Sending money to feed the homeless won't cut much mustard when we meet God on judgment day
Once a year they go to Montana to give a horse away to Native Americans
They rode their motorcycles from London to Jerusalem
They do a diaper run from coast to coast in less than 50 hours to collect diapers and baby wipes and raise funds. Abortion has made a mockery of God's name.
Quit trying to start ministries, go out and serve
Psalm 38:7-8 is Gary's life verse
Work life balance in the natural sense is not the same as balance in the spiritual sense
When driving, quit listening to sermons and preaching and instead just start being quiet and listening to God
