“And when I passed by thee, and saw thee polluted in thine own blood, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live; yea, I said unto thee when thou wast in thy blood, Live.”

- Ezekiel 16:6

Greetings in the Lord beloved brethren, and those also that are yet without the fold of our beautiful good Shepherd, Jesus Christ. Five weeks ago the Lord was pleased to send me to South Africa with another dear brother of ours, Vincent Piater. The five weeks we spent there were trying times, but we rejoiced all the while in the hope that we have laid up in heaven. Men may steal that which we have laid up here on earth, but that which is laid up in heaven is secure and sure. Christian, no man on earth or Devil in hell can touch the treasure that awaits you there. We have reason indeed to shout our Hallelujah’s! Amen.

We were able to preach a few times while there and were daily about the ministry of evangelism. The Lord was daily opening doors of opportunity for us. One instance, while in Durban, we went down to the beach where myriads of people were flooding the boardwalk, beaches and piers. The majority of people were Zulu’s who primarily speak poor English. But at seeing the multitudes of people and beholding there ungodly behavior my heart was overwhelmed within me to share the good news – that there is a God in heaven who is of purer eyes than to behold iniquity and who will judge sin wherever it is found on the last day, but who, in love for mankind, was moved in compassion to send his own Son to seek and save that which was lost; nevertheless, according to the scriptures God’s Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth, who was blameless and pure, suffered a wicked man’s death on a cross, thus taking on himself the curse- the curse that from the beginning was imposing upon all men because of sin, DEATH – and endured the full weight of God’s just wrath… He was laid in the tomb and after three days was resurrected from the dead by the Holy Spirit of God, was witnessed by above 500 persons and then ascended to the right-hand of God- where he now sits till the day when he will come to the earth again to judge the quick and the dead. Jesus, therefore, calls us to follow him: firstly, to the cross in death to this world (personal ambitions, hopes, dreams and desires, this world’s wealth, lust, hatred, unforgiveness, adultery, etc.); and secondly, in the resurrection (wherein your dead life is quickened [made alive] by the Holy Spirit of God, so that you are able to walk in newness of life instead of the deeds of the old man). The freedom Christ purchased us on the cross is not merely a “get out of hell free” card, but freedom also from sin, shame, guilt and condemnation and all that entails... So I told the Lord, “Father, these Zulu people need to hear the gospel, and I don’t see any Zulu man preparing to preach. Lord, these people know more English than I know Zulu, so I will preach in English and you’ll take care of the rest. In Jesus’ name, amen.” My belief is that God is searching this whole earth for a man that will stand boldly and proclaim exactly what the Lord is saying without any mixture. No personal motives or agenda- no M.O. Just the pure unadulterated word of God. And I believe there are very few in this world that meet these requirements. But I live my life and preach with this always in mind… so I stood up to preach. I was trusting the Lord completely to honour his Word as I, his servant, was preparing to proclaim it. Just as I stood up on a little retaining wall, with Bible in hand, between the boardwalk and the beach I looked out over the sea of people. Then I noticed brother Vincent begin talking to someone just beside me, so I looked down at him and he looked up at me and told me, “I am born again and I speak Zulu.” I asked him if he had ever translated before and he answered the negative. So I told him that was great and this would be a first for us both.

For the next 45 min he faithfully and expressively interpreted what I would preach in English, into the language of the people there. Not a few were effected that day by the preaching of the gospel. Praise the Lord.

“Although the fig tree shall not blossom, neither shall fruit be in the vines; the labour of the olive shall fail, and the fields shall yield no meat; the flock shall be cut off from the fold, and there shall be no herd in the stalls: yet I will rejoice in the LORD, I will joy in the God of my salvation.”

- Habakkuk 3:17,18

We praise the Lord in all circumstances, whether good or bad. Ryan, Sean and I are back together again in Dallas with brother Jesse Morris and his beautiful wife Lindsay. We will be updating our schedule soon, Lord willing. We have also added a new preacher, Rolfe Barnard, and seven of his sermons to our “Resource” page. Please listen to them.

Brethren, pray for us.

In Christ,

Jake

Recommended Sermon:

- “Sweetheart Love for Jesus Christ” by: Rolfe Barnard

Dear those to whom this appertains,

I would like to offer my sincerest apologies on behalf of myself and the brethren that run this website to anyone that has been offended, or caused to sin by any of the content contained thereon. I have taken the liberty to remove all of the video’s filmed last Spring Break in Panama City beach. Upon reviewing portions of these video’s I am in agreement that the content is unworthy to remain. It was uploaded with the intent to edify and fruits of righteousness are present in the videos, however it was outweighed in its good fruit by the defilement of the unrighteous sinners indirectly contained in the videos.

I would like to remind those to whom this apology is addressed that these video’s were given with a viewer’s discretion warning, and with the intent, I am certain of the edification of the viewer, and the exaltation of the Holy God to whom our lives are dedicated, and to whom we serve. However, in this instance, true discretion would be to disallow any viewer from the capability of watching the videos.  No man ought to look upon such depravity of revelry and immodesty except in the necessary duty of utter opposition through holy gospel preaching under the leading of the Holy Spirit.

In the world we live in today, it is very rare that a person might live, walk, or above these, preach the gospel without the presence of some defiling scene. I know not who filmed the video’s, nor can I judge their heart’s, but it is my obligation to ascertain that the brother’s involved with this website found in those videos are completely given to the righteous purposes of Jesus Christ, and live for no other end than to please him whether it be by life or by death.

Finally, I am thankful to God that this was brought to our attention, and am believing  it was for the glory of God with a sincere heart. I speak on behalf of the brethren that run this website, that likeas the wise Solomon once said, “Reproofs of instruction are the way of life”(Prov.6:23b), we are, and ever will be open to any righteous reproof according to the word of God.

We are thankful that an occasion for stumbling was removed by a good brother that made us aware of the unacceptable content and immodesty in the videos. Pray for us that all our actions would be above reproach with no occasion of offence to any brother. May we do all things to the glory of God and for the edifcation of God’s elect.

In sincerity, truth, and Christ Jesus,

Ryan Ringnald and Sean Morris

Dear beloved brethren and all who are led to this site:

Sean Morris and I just recently arrived from our trip to Ireland and Wales. We, along with Tucker, are currently staying in Arlington, Texas with a dear brother named Jesse Morris, Sean’s brother, and his dear wife Lindsay. Please pray that the Lord would mightily bless them for the gracious hospitality they have shown to the saints.

Our trip across seas was full of a number of ups and downs. On the positive side, we were able to see a number of lives drastically impacted by the gospel and the power of the Spirit of God, as well as witness and warn quite a few more. Most of the this impact occured in the houses of the people in which we were harboured. For instance, the first week we stayed in Dublin at a house of some dear brethren most of which were in their twenties. One night we stayed up with one of these brothers, that is Sean and I, through the night pleading of sin, righteousness, and judgement. Praise the Lord, this night the Lord was pleased to bless our efforts with such a taste of God’s presence that it seemed one could cut through the the air with a knife. Moreover, the atmosphere was so grave and quiet between words that it seemed one could hear the drop of a needle. We spoke to this individual for at least five or so hours, and in the middle of this meeting we all seemed to grow extraordinarily tired in a hurry. Due to the sudden approach of this tiredness, we felt the enemy could be trying to hinder this powerful work God was doing, and therefore we prayed for the protection and power of the Lord to come and awaken us very early into the moring. God heard, graced us with even more of his presence, and henceforth, we were up reasoning with this individual until six or seven in the morning, without a whimper of tiredness! In the end of the night this particular brother said it was “the most profound spiritual experience of his life,” among other things, and he has been on a new level seeking the Lord and studying his bible ever since. We praise the Lord for such a night!

Another memorable event occured as Sean and I stayed through the night on the cold streets of Dublin, Ireland.  Around 3 a.m. this particular morning we were studying our Bible’s in a three story, 24/7 Mcdonalds. As we, with our protective, soundblocking headphones tried to focus on the word, a sudden wave of drunken youth came in our rather isolated area. If you all have not yet realized this, to have a bible out, especially the old KJB in a public place is an automatic attention getter and a good way to start a conversation! As we read our bible’s, people would, like in many former occasions, begin to talk with us! Some examples consist of a man, approaching us from Nigeria. He came and asked us a number of questions, all of which we answered the best we could, and we began to plead with this man of the straitness of the gate, and the narrowness of the way stating for instance, that we are living in a time, like the time of Noah, in which only 8 people were saved and not even all eight went to heaven! The Lord moved in this conversation, and the man was forced to leave after a reasonable amount of time, being unquestionably convicted by the word of God both to seek God and fear him. Later this night, a couple of young Irishman, around the same age as us sat near us being under the influence, and lightly esteeming our Bibles. Sean, in his most honorable way, began to warn these men of the hell that awaits them rather bluntly, except they repent. Both of these men, especially one, were absolutely, by God’s grace terrified and quite uncomfortable in their unregenerate estate. The one in particular I believe was scaredly stating,  ”they were headed for hell” in a very serious way. We pled with them to seek God when they sobered up and to remember these things, lest they perish with the world.  Lastly, I remember as we sat and read, some spanish girls came right up next to us and with a startled look on their face said, ” what are you doing?”, we told them we were Chrsitians reading the bible, and they said something like, ”what are Christians doing at 3 a.m. reading a bible in Mcdonalds?”, never quite able to cope with this unique experience they had of seeing two young men, studying the word early into the morning in a downtown Dublin, Mcdonalds. We pled with this group of four spaniards for quite a period of time, and at the end one of the girls told me she would began to read her bible again, having somewhat of a Christian backround and a lot of conviction, along with others that were seemingly convicted.

Furthermore, God opened up a church for me to preach a short message at one morning. Even though it was short, a number of people came up to me, one weeping, and with much conviction. I told them, as I tell everyone to seek the Lord, if haply you might feel after him, and find him though he be not far from every one of us! Dear reader, do you seek God? I guarantee, if you don’t seek God as the number one priority in your life you have missed the boat and are in danger of God’s eternal wrath. Therefore, in all reasonableness, seek the Lord, and you will find him, if you seek him with all your heart!

In conclusion, the state of the church worldwide is absolutely horrific, and I do believe that it is time for the Lord to raise up a standard against this influx of iniquity in his professing church and the world. Sean and I, by God’s grace are extremely burdened to see the glory of God in his holiness exalted in his professing church, and consequentially the world. We desire to see the fear of God, which was so prevalent in the early church once again present when the saints of God meet together. Please do pray that God would began to visit and deliver his church out of this awful bondage and blindness that has overtake her no matter what the cost. Beloved brethren, I entreat you, please pray that God would raise up labourers, having discernment, established in the truth, and having the sentence of death in themselves that they might  preach the Gospel in all its fullness and with all its might! Please pray that God would raise up labourers to preach in such measure that men will be no longer able to adhere to this lukewarm, halting Christianity that is sending religious men unknowingly to hell, and that men might know, no matter what their reaction, that there is a God in heaven who reigns among the sons of men!

PRAYER REQUESTS: Many of you all have probably heard that our dearest brother Jake and Vincent shortly into a gospel expedition to South Africa have been robbed and bereft of all of their belongings including passports, bibles, clothes, a car, and more. Please pray for these soldiers of the cross that they would stay strong amidst this trial, and that God would make their way clear before them, and provide all their necessities, to the end that they might  without hindrance continue boldly proclaiming the glorious gospel. Futhermore, pray for our beloved Sean Morris and I that the Lord would in his own seasonableness open to us a door of utterance, and make our path plain before us, and in the mean time teach us his word.

Isaiah 62:6-7 I have set watchmen upon thy walls, O Jerusalem, which shall never hold their peace day nor night: ye that make mention of the LORD, keep not silence, 67 And give him no rest, till he establish, and till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth.

Sermon Suggestion: When the Saints Shout Hallelujah By: Rolfe Barnard

Please listen to this powerful, and most needful sermon of our day.

Sincerely in Christ Jesus, Ryan Ringnald

Hello all,

I thought it would be good if I made a quick update to all the viewers, brethren, friends, and relatives. Ryan and I (Sean Morris) are in Dublin Ireland and attended the Revival Conference here put on by SermonIndex.net. The Lord definitely worked significantly. Monday the 16th we plan to travel to Wales for the next conference beginning on the 17th. This conference will be held where the revival in Wales began so many years ago when God used young Evan Roberts. Please pray that all who God wills will speak, and all who speak, will be given utterance, grace for boldness, and an open door that God’s perfect will would be accomplished in His timing for His glory.

Ryan and I have been given much grace to seek Him, yet we must still seek Him more. Jake and Vincent, if I am not mistaken, are in South Africa at the moment. They will be traveling, open air preaching, and all other things that God leads and opens doors for. Since Ryan and I have no way to contact them, and have no phone, we cannot know how they are. If either of you are reading this, please give an update that we may know how to pray and recieve comfort for all that God is doing. May the Lord bless you both to strive in prayer, preaching, and endure hardship to the decaying of the outer man but the renewing of the inner man. O Lord give us weakness that Thou mayest be strong!

Tucker Shields is in the US with the RV and most likely involved in various ministry works and earnest prayers. Since I have no phone I have not spoken with him either. I send greetings to the NYC Brethren, Dallas Brethren, Waco Brethren, New Jersey Brethren, Springfield Missouri Brethren, Houston Brethren, Indiana Brethren, and the rest, may God give you the fight to the saving of your souls. Blessed be God forevermore. And special greetings to our families, Mr. and Mrs. Ringnald, Reece, and Rachel. My Mother and Father, Jesse and Jean, and my brother and sister Jesse and Lindsay.

PS. Please pray for the safety of brother Jake and Vincent in all their open air preaching missions.

In weakness, Brother Sean, I love you all in Christ.

Sean was invited to preach a message at the Indianapolis Revival Conference hosted by SermonIndex. The message can be downloaded at this link, Revival Is Obedience.

The conference was a great experience and the culmination of several weeks of being scattered in different locations ministering all over the United States. We have spent time in New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas, Missouri, Indiana, Arkansas, and Tennessee over the past month. We could tell you stories of how the Lord moved strong in each and every one of those states, including bringing several dead souls to new life in Christ. We praise God and He alone receives the glory, honor, and praise for every time we are given the privilege to see Him move in power according to the truth.

We were able to meet some amazing and godly people, including but not limited to the Courville family in Missouri, Keith Daniel, Merle Weaver, and many other godly people at the Revival Conference and abroad. We praise the Lord for the fellowship with the saints and the encouragement and mutual edification involved in provoking one another to love and good works.

The Lord truly is beginning to open many doors for us. We are trusting Him that He will guide us into His perfect will in addition to those specific places where He would have us share and be shining lights who hold forth the word of life.

In the Lord’s sovereignty we have added one to our numbers to accompany us for the next several months. His name is Aaron Sink and he is a brother from Ohio whom we met at the Revival Conference. He is truly on fire for the Lord and we look forward to laboring with him in the coming months.

As for the upcoming schedule, Jake and Vincent, currently in Tennessee, will be traveling to South Africa for over a month starting in late November to minister there. The rest of us are looking to either join back up with Shawn Holes and continue traveling to college campuses, or possibly to travel to another location to minister for an extended period of time. Or we may split up and do both.

We truly appreciate your continued support through prayer. We are simply a group of absolute nobodies whom God has revealed Himself to in powerful ways and we cannot help but respond and be changed by Him, and in the process of it all tell everyone we meet about what we found out about ourselves and who were truly were in the eyes of God (wretched sinners whom God desired to change completely from the inside out) and persuade them to admit it themselves as we open up the Scriptures and show them the only thing we ever know to share, the Word who is Jesus Christ as revealed in His inspired Book.

We will probably update the site within a week and add some messages that we were able to preach recently that should be a blessing to all. May the Lord Jesus Christ receive every last bit of the glory!

In Him,

Tucker

The Fisher's (The Family we stayed with in PA)

The past month has been quite eventful. For the most part the group was split in two- Vince, Tucker and I were in Pennsylvania, while Ryan and Sean stayed back in NYC. This was a hard decision, but we saw it as a necessary one. 

The Lord moved in such great ways while in NYC this Summer. We saw people under conviction of their sins, people brought to the reality of the truth and we were even allowed the priviledge of seeing a few converted to Christ. What a priviledge indeed! Because of this great move we saw it fitting to split the group in two; thus two stayed in NYC to pastor the little flock the Lord had blessed us with, while three continued on to preach the gospel on college campuses in Pennsylvania.

To attempt to recount to you what all the Lord has been doing with both groups would be a great task- too great for me to take on at present. So, I will be brief and say that the Lord is good! and His mercies endure forever. Praise God!

While preaching on the campuses many people were brought to know their need of Christ as their full salvation. Not, their own good deeds and Christ will make up the deficiency. Not, a grace plus works formula. Nothing but Christ. Praise God! Multiple times we were able to sit people down and go through the scriptures with them on what it means to truly trust in Christ and be saved. While we were experiencing the Lord’s goodness in PA. the guys back in NYC were seeing the same thing. In one story they told they were sharing the gospel one night with a young married couple in their apartment in Manhattan. While sharing the gospel the Spirit of the Lord came and reproved the young couple of sin, righteousness and judgment (John 16:7-11). They then fell upon their faces and gave their lives to Christ in complete surrender. It didn’t stop there. They were convicted to be baptized that very night. Just as the Ethiopian Eunuch in Acts chapter 8 was compelled to be baptized immediately- the only thing that would have hindered him from being baptized right then and there was if he did not believe, with all of his heart, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God (Acts 8:37).  And so they were baptised(fully submerged) in a 2 ft. deep fountain in the middle of the city at 3 am. Praise God!

Vince and I are now preparing to speak at a college conference in Huntsville this coming weekend, while the other guys are busy with other ministry around Texas.

Praise God! a thousand times, praise God!

I was privelaged to have the opportunity to preach at a GoodWill Mission in New Jersey. It is my hope that the true gospel is lifted high above the counterfeit devilish gospels that are seemingly without number in our present day.

The only good that comes from this sermon can only come from the Lord Jesus.

Brother Sean.

“One life to live, T-will soon be past, only whats done for Christ will last. When I lay dying how glad I shall be if the lamp of my life has been burnt out for Thee.” [Author Unknown]

May God keep you and present you faultless before His glory, sincerely, ymbba ministries.

Dear brethren,

Today is August 19, 2009 and the time I am writing this post is 10:24 AM. Sean, Tucker, Jake, Vincent (our dear brother from South Africa), Alberto (A firstfruit of our labours in New York, just saved and baptized in declaration of his death to self and resurrection in Christ) and I are planning on heading out to preach at around 12:00PM. Upon heading out we will most likely preach on the Staten Island train, the Staten Island Ferry, Battery Park (by the Statue of Liberty crossing), and lastly we will preach at Union Square with amplification from 4:00 PM until 8:00 PM, Lord permitting.

During this time, we will probably be harassed by the authorities, scoffers, and will be constantly battling our own flesh that we may, by God’s grace, be able to walk in the Spirit (by faith) and to keep ourselves unspotted from the world.

Dearest brethren,  I cannot over emphasize how vital and important prayer and intercession from true Christians is for us. We have seen a clear difference in our labours when true Christians are praying for us as opposed to when they are not. God says in his Word that “the effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much” (James 5:16b), and we believe that to be the case without question. Henceforth, it is absolutely vital that we have true Christians covering us in prayer if our ministry is to be successful and we are to see a move of God, especially in this time of apostasy and the dreadful influx of iniquity that is currently coming upon this world like a flood.

This post was written with the intent that all the Christians that God leads to visit this website might know briefly what a day in our ministry looks like, and if led by God might begin to pray for our protection and the fruitful abounding of the gospel of Jesus Christ through our labours.

The following two videos are from preaching on the Staten Island Ferry last Sunday morning at 2:00AM (August16,2009). Vincent, Sean, Tucker ad I were on our way home from a glorious day of ministry, in which God was pleased to greatly bless our efforts. We, in love, wanted to preach the Gospel and warn these people to turn to Jesus before it is too late; from the moment I opened my mouth there was much opposition, and also many attentive hearts.  The main reason I am posting these videos is to show everyone in real footage some of the opposition that we are encountering that you all might better see the indispensable need we have of intercessory prayer from true Christians.

God bless you all, and God speed to all the brethren that view this site.

Don’t Sin Away Your Day of Grace

I preached yesterday morning at South Baptist Church, Staten Island, NY. The sermon was entitled, “Don’t Sin Away Your Day of Grace.” The text I chose was Jeremiah 8:20, “The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.” The Lord was present during the preaching and I post the videos now in hopes that you will be edified and challenged by the word of God.

We have decided to begin recording and posting the sermons we preach in churches. We will be doing this mainly because our heart is not only for the lost to be saved, but also for those in the churches of America to awake to righteousness. The church in America today is a mission field starving for the gospel; thus we hope our sermons, by God’s grace, will help to satisfy this need.

Like I said, this is the first of the recorded “church sermons,” and for some reason the first 15 min. were lost. The only thing pertinant to the message that was lost was the text (Jer. 8:20) given at the beginning, and some background and context to the scripture.

Our prayer and expectation is that God will add his blessing to the preaching of His Word.

In Christ,

Jake
