Pride Month In June Is A Great Time Of The Year To Tell The Lost LGBTQ+ People Where You Live About Their Need Of The Saviour, Jesus Of Nazareth
Pride Month In June Is A Great Time Of The Year To Tell The Lost LGBTQ+ Person About Their Need Of The Saviour Jesus Of Nazareth. Get some gospel tracts!
Pride month is a great time of the year to reach the lost LGBTQ+ person with the live saving gospel of the grace of God, will YOU go tell them about the Saviour?
If you’re a born again Christian, I want to share with you a fantastic opportunity to reach the lost right where you live. June is the start of many things in America, first and foremost it heralds the beginning of glorious summerime, backyard parties, trips to the beach, end of the school year and vacations. It is also the start of Pride Month for the LGBTQ+ people, and is an incredible chance for you to share the gospel of the grace of God with the lost gay, lesbian, trans and queer people who will be out in force as you see in the above photo I took yesterday on St. George street in Saint Augustine while we were street preaching.
“To the weak became I as weak, that I might gain the weak: I am made all things to all men, that I might by all means save some. And this I do for the gospel’s sake, that I might be partaker thereof with you.” 1 Corinthians 9:22,23 (KJV)
As Christians, we have been given the ministry of reconciliation, that is to say sharing the gospel with the lost so that they might be won to Jesus Christ and get saved. We are not Old Testament prophets who are pronouncing fiery judgment down on people, we are the New Testament ambassadors of Jesus Christ! When we preach on the street, we preach new life in Jesus Christ through His shed blood. We tell lost people who they can have their sins forgiven and have a hope of Heaven. We also tell them about a nasty place called Hell, which burns with fire unquenchable, and plead with them not to go there. LGBTQ+ people are no different than any other lost sinner who needs Jesus.
Can you love them enough to give them a gospel tract and tell them the truth?
“And all things are of God, who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ, and hath given to us the ministry of reconciliation; To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation. Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God. For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.” 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 (KJV)
When I wrote about my personal testimony last year of how I got saved, I shared with you all how my ‘spiritual search’ for Truth was triggered by the death of my older brother Bob, a homosexual who died of AIDS. He was a lovely, sweet soul and my best friend on this earth. He died in 1988, and I miss him all the time. So when I witness to the lost LGBTQ+ person, I show them the same love and respect I would have wanted someone who might have witnessed to my brother to show him.
It accomplishes nothing to call them names, mock them or belittle them. You cannot reach someone for Jesus if you don’t have love for them, love is supposed to be the defining trait of the born again believer. You can tell someone the undiluted truth of the gospel without being mean to them, we do it all the time on the streets. But you can’t reach people for Jesus without a healthy dose of love.
What does the ‘whole package’ of pure love and pure truth without compromise look like? This is it right here:
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:16-19 (KJV)
One time not too long ago, we were preaching on the streets and two lesbians walked past me holding hands. As soon as they heard me preaching the gospel, they thought they would have a little ‘fun’ with me, probably to see if the could get a rise out of me and make me look foolish. But the Holy Spirit was with me and gave me wisdom. The two lesbians stopped right in front of me and gave each other a fairly deep kiss, then looked at me to see my reaction. But the reaction they got they were in no wise prepared for.
When they stopped kissing, I looked at them and told them not to quit on my account, and that if they truly wanted to do that then by all means keep doing it. To say they were shocked is an understatement! I looked at them both as lovingly as I could and told them that lesbianisn was not their biggest problem, and that something much larger than that was waiting for them right around the metaphorical corner. I told them that their real problem was that, like all people, they had unpaid for sin in their life, but had no Saviour to pay the price for them, and as such they would have to pay for it themselves in a place called Hell. I said it nicely, seriously, sweetly and offered them a tract.
“And the lord said unto the servant, Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled.” Luke 14:23 (KJV)
Like I said, June is Pride Month, and it’s a great time to share the gospel of the grace of God with the lost LGBTQ+ people where you live. Click on the link below to order your box of NTEB gospel tracts, and go out and tell them about the Saviour Jesus Christ. And when you do, please be nice. Witness to them they way you would want someone to witness to the lost LGBTQ+ member in your family. Your sins and my sins were not one bit less filthy in the eyes of God than their sins are, and the same shed blood that paid for our sins on the cross at Calvary is able to pay for their sins, too. Go tell them. You can hate the Pride Movement, and you can hate the Pride Month agenda, but you have to love the people enough to tell them how to get saved.
The Streets Were Filled With LGBTQ+ People Yesterday For Start Of Pride Month
As Christians, we have been given the ministry of reconciliation, that is to say sharing the gospel with the lost so that they might be won to Jesus Christ and get saved. We are not Old Testament prophets who are pronouncing fiery judgment down on people, we are the New Testament ambassadors of Jesus Christ!
What It Looks Like To Preach The Gospel On The Streets In 2019
This 2-minute video shows you exactly what it is like to be a street preacher, and how the average person on the street will react to you. This video was shot on the corner of St. George and Hypolita streets in downtown St. Augustine, Florida.

THE PROPHECY NEWS PODCAST: Dystopian Tech Startup Called Satyress Rolling Out Robot Called Threehalves Promising You’ll Become ‘Superhuman’
Preparing For Antichrist: The Horned Threehalves Robot From Satyress Shows A World Embracing Demonic Imagery, Artificial Intelligence And Superhuman Machines In Real Time
Threehalves is more than a bizarre engineering experiment, it is a sermon in steel preaching the dark gospel of the coming post-human world. A company calling itself Satyress has fashioned a seven-foot, horned, goat-headed monstrosity with the torso of a man, the body of a beast and mechanical arms designed to wield chainsaws and other instruments of power—all beneath the slogan “BECOME SUPERHUMAN.” They could have given it the neutral appearance of ordinary industrial machinery, but instead they deliberately clothed it in the imagery of the satyr and the Baphomet. That choice reveals how rapidly this generation is losing its natural revulsion toward the demonic, the grotesque and the unnatural. What previous generations would have recognized as an abomination is now photographed, promoted and applauded as innovation. And tick, tock, goes the end times clock.
“And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed.” Revelation 13:15 (KJB)
On this episode of the Prophecy News Podcast, Threehalves is a chilling preview of the technological environment into which the Antichrist will step after the Pretribulation Rapture of the Church. The world is being conditioned to communicate with artificial entities, obey voices coming from machines, surrender decisions to algorithms and accept mechanical bodies possessing strength far beyond that of human beings. Revelation foretells an image that will speak and cause those refusing to worship the beast to be killed; our generation is now constructing speaking images, autonomous weapons and robotic enforcers without giving a second thought to where those technologies may ultimately lead. The Antichrist will not arrive in a world unprepared for him, he will enter a world already trained to accept artificial authority, digital surveillance, manufactured reality and satanic power masquerading as human progress. Some of the people building this system undoubtedly understand the darkness they are invoking, while many others sincerely believe they are merely creating helpful technology. But conscious cooperation is not required when “the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience” is steadily moving the whole world in the same direction. Artificial intelligence, transhumanism, digital identification, programmable money, global surveillance and weaponized robotics are converging to prepare the operational machinery of the coming kingdom of the beast. Threehalves is only one garage-built prototype, but its Baphomet-like form provides a startling picture of the spirit behind that approaching system: man attempting to transcend the boundaries established by God, merging himself with the machine and calling the resulting abomination “superhuman.” The Church is not waiting for Antichrist—we are waiting for Jesus Christ—but while we await That Blessed Hope, we should clearly be warning a lost and dying world that the stage is being set, the machinery is being assembled, and the “night cometh when no man can work” is rapidly approaching. Your King James Bible mentions satyrs multiple times, and today we show you how all this connects on the end times timeline.

By Faith, We Sent Out 45 Mattresses And Blankets To The Children At The Glory Fellowship Orphanage In Kenya To Give Them Better Sleeping Conditions
Operation Africa! Delivers Mattresses And Blankets To 84 Orphan Children In Kenya, Replacing Cardboard On Concrete With A Clean And Comfortable Place To Sleep Tonight
Earlier today at Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya, what began as a burden, a prayer and a fundraising appeal became something these children could finally reach out and touch. The mattresses arrived. The blankets arrived. And because the people of God responded, 84 orphan children who had been sleeping on cardboard laid over a concrete floor now have a clean, soft place to rest. Look closely at the photograph. Those children are not standing around a promise of help that may come someday. The help is there, lined up across the orphanage grounds, still wrapped in protective plastic, ready to be carried inside and put to use. But first things first, they’re spraying the rooms for bedbugs.
“Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.” James 1:27 (KJB)
This is what Operation Africa! is all about. It’s King James Bibles placed into waiting hands, clean water flowing where there was none, medicine reaching hurting children, and now mattresses and blankets for orphans who up to this point had been sleeping on cardboard and concrete. This is Bible-believing Christianity with its sleeves rolled up. To every NTEB’er who prayed, donated and shared the appeal, this is the fruit of your giving.
OPERATION AFRICA! UPDATE: Today, we delivered mattress and clean blankets to the 84 children at the Glory Fellowship Orphanage in Kenya. They went from sleeping on bedbug-infested cardboard on a dirt floor to a new, clean bed. Praise the LORD for giving us this open door, come… pic.twitter.com/Crv4Is1pNU

After Trump Was Smuggled Off Air Force One In A Catering Truck, Gulf States Now Accept That An ‘Obliterated’ Iran Controls The Strait Of Hormuz
The Catering Truck Escape Of President Trump Exposes How An Iran Declared ‘Decimated And Obliterated’ Remains Dangerous And In Control Of Hormuz Despite Months Of American Bombing
America was told that Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” but the truth of the matter is that when President Trump visited Turkey last month, credible threats from Iran forced the Secret Service to extract the president and smuggle him out hidden inside a catering truck, and flown to safety on an alternate Air Force One. As you let that sink in, ask yourself, what does that tell you? It tells me that we have been lied to about the Iran War from start to finish. How do you reconcile the endless boasting and bragging from the Department of War on how America “decimated” Iran with the mental picture of Trump and Hegseth hiding in a catering truck because Iran made some threats? The photo at the top of this article shows you the actual container that Trump and Hegseth were hidden in. This is beyond shameful and unacceptable, and as American patriots, we cannot, and must not, abide this deception any longer.
“The horse is prepared against the day of battle: but safety is of the LORD.” Proverbs 21:31 (KJB)
Faced with what American officials reportedly considered a credible Iranian assassination threat, Trump did exactly what the president of the United States should have done: he followed the security plan designed to keep him alive. The scandal is not that Trump got into the catering truck. The scandal is that America was repeatedly told Iran had been “decimated” and “obliterated,” while the people protecting the president privately believed Tehran still possessed the reach, intelligence and operational capability to threaten his life in a NATO country. That’s the bombshell hiding underneath the sensational headline. According to a report published by the New York Post, President Trump publicly boarded the familiar blue-and-white Air Force One following the NATO summit in Ankara on July 8. Television cameras recorded the presidential departure, reporters boarded the plane, White House personnel took their seats, and everything appeared normal. But it was all a decoy.
A DARK DAY FOR AMERICA: President Trump was forced to sneak away, hidden in a catering truck, after threats from Iran caused panic. Let that sink in. Trump is hiding from the very same people he started the war with. Iran is very much in control. @POTUS https://t.co/tCBfo9SiOW
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) August 11, 2026
On the opposite side of the aircraft, Trump and several aides reportedly entered an elevated airport catering container. The container was lowered onto a truck, driven across the tarmac and raised to the door of a smaller Air Force C-32A military aircraft. Trump secretly boarded that plane while reporters and even some White House staff departed Turkey believing the president was flying with them aboard Air Force One. Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was also aboard the secret flight, reportedly boarding separately to preserve the illusion of a routine military departure.
The operation was triggered by what a United States official described as a credible Iranian threat against Trump’s life. Israel had reportedly warned Washington of a possible Iranian assassination plot. The White House did not subsequently deny that the clandestine transfer occurred, instead saying that every available security measure was being employed to protect the president. Now, no responsible person should criticize him for following the security instructions of the Secret Service and the military. Presidents do not prove courage by unnecessarily exposing themselves to assassination. But Americans have every right to ask why, to demand why the private threat assessment differed so dramatically from the public victory narrative. This is absolutely a scandal that needs to be addressed.
Iran Was Bombed Into Rubble, But It Was Not Neutralized
The United States and Israel unquestionably inflicted catastrophic physical damage upon Iran. An April 1 Department of War fact sheet claimed that American forces had struck more than 12,300 targets, flown more than 13,000 combat missions and damaged or destroyed more than 155 Iranian vessels. Command centers, IRGC headquarters, intelligence facilities, air defenses, ballistic-missile sites, weapons-production facilities, communications networks and Iranian naval assets were hammered by the most technologically advanced military force on the planet.
Iran could not match the United States in the air. It could not match the United States at sea. It could not prevent American bombers and missiles from destroying enormous portions of its conventional military infrastructure. But destroying thousands of targets is not the same thing as winning a war.
A war is won when the enemy can no longer impose his will, threaten your interests or compel you to alter your behavior. Judged by that standard, Iran was in some respects devastated, but it was not defeated. It was damaged, but it was not disarmed. It was battered, but it was never neutralized. Iran absorbed the punishment, kept its regime alive and retained the weapons that mattered most: geography, asymmetrical warfare, assassination capabilities, mines, missiles, drones, regional proxies and control over the narrow passage through which a major portion of the world’s energy supply must travel. Washington won the bombing campaign. Tehran may be winning everything that came after it.
The Strait Of Hormuz Tells The Real Story
On July 28, the White House published remarks in which President Trump flatly declared, “Iran doesn’t control the Strait. We control the Strait.” Less than two weeks later, the Wall Street Journal published a report beneath this astonishing headline:
“Gulf States Accept a New Normal in Hormuz: Iran Is in Control.”
That isn’t a minor discrepancy, t is the difference between the victory Americans were promised and the strategic reality now confronting the Middle East. Persian Gulf energy producers are reportedly concluding that Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz could become permanent. They do not like it, and they do not necessarily recognize Tehran’s claims as legitimate. But they increasingly view accommodation with Iran as preferable to returning to a war that would bring additional Iranian missiles and drones crashing into their ports, pipelines, refineries and desalination plants.
An emerging agreement under discussion would reportedly place inbound shipping through Hormuz under Iranian oversight while Oman supervised outbound traffic. The agreement has not been finalized, and Washington remains opposed to allowing Iran to restrict international navigation. Nevertheless, Gulf governments are reportedly willing to contemplate formal Iranian oversight because the alternative may be another destructive regional war.
Think about what that means. The United States possesses aircraft carriers, submarines, stealth bombers, cruise missiles, surveillance satellites and enough firepower to demolish Iranian military installations repeatedly. Yet the Gulf states are concluding that all that American military power still cannot guarantee the uninterrupted movement of their oil and natural gas. Iran does not need to defeat the United States Navy ship for ship. It only needs to make commercial navigation dangerous enough, insurance expensive enough and Gulf infrastructure vulnerable enough that terrified governments begin negotiating for Tehran’s permission to conduct business. That is how an apparently weaker nation converts geography into strategic power.
America can control which ships reach Iran through its naval blockade. Iran can control whether ships belonging to the Gulf states move safely through the waterway. Washington possesses overwhelming firepower, but Tehran possesses the ability to create chaos at the precise point where the global economy can least afford it. We told you back in July of 2024, after Trump got his warning shot to his right ear, that God has put him in power as judgment on America. And so it is.
The Catering Truck Exposed The Truth
The catering truck operation now takes on tremendous symbolic importance. Trump and Hegseth spent months speaking as though Iran had been reduced to strategic irrelevance. But when intelligence officials warned that Iran might be targeting the president, the victory speeches stopped and the professionals went to work. Air Force One became a decoy. Reporters and White House personnel unknowingly became part of the deception. The president and his War Secretary disappeared onto another aircraft.
American intelligence and presidential security officials believed the threat was sufficiently credible to justify one of the most extraordinary presidential extraction operations in modern history. The government did not behave as though Iran had been obliterated, it behaved as though Iran remained organized, dangerous and capable of striking the president of the United States beyond its own borders. That is the reality Americans were not shown while administration officials were celebrating overwhelming victory. The public was given the number of targets destroyed. It was not given an honest assessment of the enemy’s remaining ability to retaliate. Tactical achievements were packaged and sold as strategic victory, while Iran’s most dangerous capabilities survived beneath the rubble.
Iran Lost The Battles But May Have Won The War
Iran never needed to defeat the United States conventionally, as such a victory was always impossible. But as the old saying goes, “there’s more than one way to skin a cat”. Iran’s realistic objectives were to survive, preserve the regime, impose unbearable economic costs, frighten the Gulf monarchies, keep the Strait of Hormuz under threat and force Washington toward negotiations without surrendering Tehran’s regional power. Measured against those objectives, Iran has performed far better than the American public was led to believe.
Pete Hegseth and Donald Trump promised us that America had won the war with Iran with “overwhelming victory”. Then they hid in a catering truck to escape when Iran threatened them in Turkey on July 8 at the NATO Summit. Nothing these people say is true. None of it. pic.twitter.com/EsyUIpUDGM
— Now The End Begins (@NowTheEndBegins) August 11, 2026
If the final settlement allows the Iranian regime to survive, gives Tehran formal authority over inbound shipping, produces sanctions relief and ends American military operations without eliminating Iran’s power to threaten its neighbors, then Iran will have achieved a genuine strategic victory despite suffering catastrophic battlefield losses. It will have lost its ships, missile batteries, command centers and military installations while gaining international recognition of the leverage it always wanted over Hormuz. That’s not Iran winning because it was militarily stronger. It is Iran winning because it endured longer, accepted greater pain and convinced its enemies that continuing the war would cost more than tolerating the new Iranian order.
In conclusion, we strongly urge you to disbelieve anything and everything told to us by the Trump administration going forward. They have proven to be patholoigical liars, incapable of truth, and only a complete defeat in the midterms will come close to stopping them. The Iran War is all but over now, America has been roundly humiliated, but worse than that, our enemies like Russia, China and North Korea now see how we can be defeated under Trump. And make no mistake, they’re coming.

When you contribute to this fundraising effort, you are helping us to do what the Lord called us to do. The money you send in goes primarily to the overall daily operations of this site. When people ask for Bibles, we send them out at no charge. When people write in and say how much they would like gospel tracts but cannot afford them, we send them a box at no cost to them for either the tracts or the shipping, no matter where they are in the world. We have a Gospel Billboard program. We are now broadcasting Bible studies, Podcasts and a Sunday Service 5 times a week, thanks to your generous donations. All this is possible because YOU pray for us, YOU support us, and YOU give so we can continue growing.
But whatever you do, don’t do nothing. Time is short and we need your help right now. The Lord has given us an open door with a tremendous ‘course’ for us to fulfill that will create an excellent experience at the Judgement Seat of Christ. Please pray for our efforts, and if the Lord leads you to donate, be as generous as possible. The war is REAL, the battle HOT and the time is SHORT…TO THE FIGHT!!!
