It cannot be said that we were arrested for causing a disturbance, because we did not approach anyone, rather everyone with whom we spoke first approached us. It cannot be said that we were harassing anyone, because the moment anyone said "stop talking to me", we would stop talking to them. And it cannot be said that we were spreading hate speech, because we said virtually nothing about Islam at all. On the contrary, we repeatedly affirmed our love for all Muslims. Whenever I was asked "Why would you love me?" I said "Because Jesus loves you, and he told me to love you."

No hating, no disturbing, no harassing… It remains only to be concluded that we were arrested simply for being Christian Preachers at the Arab Festival in Dearborn.

This is when some young boys started talking to me

PLEASE PRAY !!! Auston was diagnosed with Ewing's Sarcoma of the left femur and had 15 tumors in his lungs when he was just 7 years old. As a kid they removed the femur and replaced it with a rod. TODAY at 10 a.m. as a teen he is having a total hip replacement, almost exclusively done in the elderly, due to the we…ar and tear on his hip over the years since his cancer.

PLEASE PRAY FOR AUSTIN TODAY !!!

These are T-Shirts that were worn by Members of  Church of the Holy Redeemer and Beyond when Austin was 7 - 8 years old and being treated down at Children's Hospital.

Come, Holy Spirit, Dove divine,
On these baptismal waters shine,
And teach our hearts, in highest strain,
To praise the Lamb for sinners slain.

We love Your Name, we love Your laws,
And joyfully embrace Your cause;
We love Your cross, the shame, the pain,
O Lamb of God, for sinners slain.

We sink beneath the water’s face,
And thank You for Your saving grace;
We die to sin and seek a grave
With You, beneath the yielding wave.

And as we rise with You to live,
O let the Holy Spirit give
The sealing unction from above,
The joy of life, the fire of love.
