New Sodom Starts the Year by Losing Big in Green County

Wisconsin Christians United started 2001 with a big battle in our home base of Green County. In a story which went nationwide, due in large part to WCU's efforts, a rural Brooklyn man, Dary Byczek, was put on trial at the behest of the "LGBT" community. After growing weary of bearing such outrages as having his children witness lesbian neighbors fondle each other in their garden, Dary put up a sign which condemned homosexual acts. What followed was a serious of events in which New Sodom set Dary up to put him away from his family for a long time and to intimidate all who stand opposed to Sodom's agenda. This was accomplished through bait and switch legal tactics and the imposition of a court injunction which was almost impossible for Dary not to violate. Things came to a head on January 12 when Dary came to trial charged with state disorderly conduct and trespass, both with hate crime enhancers attached. Dary was also charged with repeated violations of the injunction. Prior to and during the trial, WCU worked hard to get publicity on the case and get the truth out about it and the evil of hate crime laws. We also did a lit drop in Monroe which we heard afterward had made an impact on at least one juror. During jury selection for the trial, WCU held a press conference followed by a rally on the courthouse lawn. The hymns sung during the rally were clearly heard in the courtroom by the judge and all members of the jury. A number of sodomites attended the trial, including a University of Wisconsin faculty member who is also a member the Man Boy Love Association. This man left a file full of homosexual pornography under his chair which Pastor Ovadal picked up and turned over to the sheriff's department. When the dust settled, Dary Byczek was cleared of all charges except one disorderly conduct, and the jury refused to attach the hate crime enhancer to that lone conviction! Thus, Sodom's hopes were crushed, and the first hate crime charge in Green County was a complete disaster.

"But ye, brethren, be not weary in well-doing."
2 Thessalonians 3:13

Confronting Evildoers in High Places

w In February, WCU followed Congresslesbian Tammy Baldwin on a tour of her district. Salvation tracts and info on homosexuality were handed out at each stop of the day-long tour. The gospel was preached. WCU ministered at several other T.B. appearances during the year. In addition, during a "chance" meeting in a Milwaukee airport, WCU's Mike Foht was able to call Tammy to repentance.

w In March, sodomite Rep. Mark Pocan asked the Capitol Police to investigate what he said was a "threat" by Pastor Ovadal against his life! The allegation was based on a WCU newsletter in which Pastor encouraged readers to pray that Pocan would repent and give his live to Jesus or that God "would remove him from the scene." The police brushed off Pocan's request, and he ended up looking like a fool in media coverage.

w WCU picketed, passed out literature, and preached during a governor's prayer breakfast in Milwaukee in May. Our message was a call for Governor Scott McCallum to close down the nudity at Mazo beach. By the grace of God, Pastor Ovadal was able to preach to the governor as he arrived. Later in the day, another Christian confronted McCallum as he came out of an appearance at a bank!

w In September, Pastor Ovadal was blessed to join some Christian brothers in Rockford, Illinois to preach the gospel outside of a speaking engagement of the world famous, pro-homosexual wolf Episcopalian Bishop John Spong.

The Beach and Beyond

WCU hit the beach (actually the parking lot and mile-long walk leading to the beach) ten times from May 28 to September 22. We used a number of innovative tactics and, judging from DNR documents obtained by freedom of information searches, had a profound impact on the Department of Natural Resources, not to mention the nudists and the public. WCU activities caused many to hear the gospel of Christ even as evil was soundly reproved. Most importantly, a number of children being taken to the beach heard about the love of Jesus.

In February, the DNR announced it had plans to force WCU to obtain a permit before engaging in ministry work on land owned by the DNR. WCU responded by threatening a federal lawsuit, and the DNR backed down. Pastor Ovadal was charged with state disorderly conduct for preaching the gospel to a lewd woman on the Mazo beach parking lot. The trial is February 1. Late in 2001, WCU kicked off what will be a series of picketing and lit dropping visits to the neighborhoods of DNR officials. DNR Secretary Darrell Bazzell and South Central Regional Director Ruthe Badger were the first officials visited. Back to top.

w WCU poured a massive amount of literature into Wisconsin in 2001 by weekly literature drops and by special one and two-day blitzes.

w WCU had a very fruitful two days of ministry in LaCrosse at the first ever "Pride Along the Mississippi" sodomfest. At one prophetic picket, a WCU Christian ended up praying with two young men who happened by.

w WCU had an effective ministry outside the National Gay Lesbian Task Force convention in Milwaukee. WCU also helped pay to bring in a seasoned undercover operative to infiltrate the convention. She brought out reams of documents which will be used, and which have already been used, to help tear the kind, gentle, "just want to be left alone" facade off of the fascist machine which America's New Sodom has become.

w WCU provided much literature for people to distribute in other states and in the nation of Canada.

"New Year's 2002 arrives in a couple weeks, however, and we need to look at how Wisconsin's LGBT citizens have fared . . . Unfortunately, in an area where Wisconsin used to be a national leader, it can barely even be considered a follower today. . . . Since 1982, Wisconsin's first-in-the-nation status looks less and less relevant."
The sodomite newspaper In Step, December 13, 2001

Pocan v. the Church of Jesus Christ

In anticipation of Rep. Mark Pocan's promise to introduce legislation to grant sodomite coupling the same legal status as marriage and to grant health benefits to the partners of sodomite state workers, WCU has initiated a phone call, letter writing, e-mail, and postcard campaign to state representatives and senators. As of the end of December, 8,000 sets of postcards had been given to Christians wanting to join in the effort, which will continue at least through January. Back to top.

WCU Sponsored Street Preaching Tour

WCU sponsored a street preaching tour by veteran street preacher Gerald Sutek. The month-long ministry exposed many more thousands to the gospel of Christ. Street preaching and evangelizing is going on around Wisconsin every week! Back to top.

Speaking Engagements

Pastor Ovadal spoke several times in San Diego in January, also at a conference in Milwaukee, and at a WCU rally in Milwaukee along with Peter LaBarbera. Back to top.

Witnessing on the Airwaves
