"For the word of the Lord is right; and all his works are done
in truth."
Psalm 33:4
Wisconsin
Christians United continues to do weekly lit drops of homes and conduct
pickets at busy intersections across our state. We are also supplying,
free of charge, an ever increasing quantity of our literature to
Christians in Wisconsin and other states who in turn distribute it. We are
very encouraged by individuals such as Pastor Larry Hickam
of Amarillo, Texas who recently requested 1,500 "Homosexuality: The
Truth" brochures so that his church could begin lit dropping their
city. Knowing Pastor Hickam as I do, that will not be the last mailing of
WCU lit to him. Likewise, we were thrilled to provide 1,000 WCU brochures
to Pastor Grant Storms of New Orleans, Louisiana. Over the
Labor Day weekend, Pastor Storms led 400 singing, preaching Christians
right into the heart of the Southern Decadence sodomite carnival. As they
stormed those portals of hell, the Christians handed out WCU's "Homosexuality:
The Truth." Pastor Lonnie Pursiful has found time
to distribute 1,000 WCU tracts in his part of the state of Utah. Missionary
Denny Green took 1,000 tracts to hand out at several sodomite
"Christian" events in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and Lynchburg,
Virginia. Pastor Gary Koljonen and the Jonathan Martin family
handed out WCU brochures at a "Freedom from Sodomy/Freedom in
Christ" booth at the Montana State Fair. A family in Missouri
recently lit dropped 3,000 of their neighbors' homes with WCU brochures. A
brother in Rock County continues to lit drop thousands of homes every
several months. A husband and wife team in Milwaukee are saturating a
large area with WCU lit. Praise God, the list of truth bearers goes on and
on and is constantly growing!
It is WCU's goal to get the TRUTH about homosexuality
out to as many people in Wisconsin and around our nation as possible. We
supply free of charge both large and small quantities of literature
to individuals for distribution. Our only requirement is that those whom
we do not know supply us with the name of their pastor and church. Slowly
but surely, what began as a trickle of truth is turning into a floodtide
which is beginning to sweep away the lies of New Sodom. At this crucial
time, we need to reprint much more literature.
We want to encourage those reading this newsletter to
pray and work to turn back the sodomite offensive which threatens to
destroy every last vestige of public decency and every last shred of
personal liberty. Our thanks to those who will help with that need, with
financial gifts, prayer, and labor.

A Couple of Items of Interest
• We continue to see the
fascist heart of the sodomite movement. Among threats received at our
office this month was one by a woman who told us she was going to build a
concentration camp just for us!
• After the town of
Marshall was lit dropped, a police lieutenant called, threatening bogus
"trespass charges" and demanding that I apologize to an offended
citizen. The request was denied, and no charges were filed.
• On August 12, Mike Foht
and several other men decided to do a prophetic picket on the public road
past the Camp McCoy army base. MPs swooped in, detained them, and informed
them that they were liable for federal charges even though the road was
public and there were no signs banning civilians from the area!
Fortunately, Mike and Co. were eventually released without charges. The
bright spot in the whole situation came when an MP told Mike that
"we" do not want sodomites in the armed forces.
• A picket in Jefferson
with "anti-homosexual" signs received a rousingly good response.
In fact, that definitely appears to be the trend for such pickets. One
elderly gentleman in Jefferson not only stopped to thank the picketers but
also called WCU's office to do the same! WCU received many calls, both
good and bad, during the period reported on by this newsletter. We were
able to encourage and better equip the former in many instances, while
sharing the gospel with the latter. By God's grace, we are seeing
strongholds being pulled down. His truth goes marching on! Back

Bold Christians lead the
sodomite parade in Madison.
|
A Righteous Rain
on the Madison Pridefest
 |
|
Fundamentalist pastor
v. apostate she-wolf.
|
On July 20, a contingent of Christians with WCU set up
signs and banners directly across the street from a large crowd of
sodomites who had gathered in front of the steps of the state capitol in
Madison to hear State Representative Mark Pocan and other such
"celebrities" extol the virtues of sodomy. For at least twenty
minutes, we preached the whole counsel of God through a truth horn to that
captive audience which, granted, did turn a bit restive at times. Finally,
the police shut us down because we did not have an amplification permit;
so we reverted back to preaching with our natural voices.
 |
|
His preaching is as bold as his shirt!
|
 |
|
No sodomite went home
without hearing the Word of God!
|
During his message to the crowd, Representative Pocan
made a few of his usual snide remarks about me. At one point, speaking
about the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Lawrence v. Texas,
Sodom's favorite Wisconsin son stated, "We consider Justice Scalia
the Ralph Ovadal of the Supreme Court."
 |
|
The heirs of Sodom try in vain
to block the preaching.
|
 |
|
One-on-one evangelism.
|
After the speakers finished, the sodomites lined up for
their parade around the square and down West Washington Avenue. Their
floats included a wagon with barely dressed "masters" pulled by
a group of barely dressed "slaves." During a substantial part of
the parade, several "bold as a lion" Christians led it, holding
gospel banners high. They were finally kicked out by police. We set up our
signs and banners along the parade route. We preached with our truth horn
and had the opportunity to not only dodge some thrown items, but to also
share the gospel during some one-on-one encounters. It was obvious that
the Lord richly blessed our ministry just as it was obvious that the
sodomites were extremely frustrated to have righteousness rain on their
parade. Back

A WCU welcome to the
Episcopalian General Convention.
|
Episcopalian General Convention
in
Minneapolis, Minnesota
On August 1-2, Mike Foht led a contingent of Christians
with WCU to witness in front of the Episcopalian General Convention in
Minneapolis. Of course, everyone but Rip van Winkle knows the outcome of
that convention in confirming the election of an open sodomite as bishop
in the state of New Hampshire. WCU held banners and signs, while also
handing out literature and doing some preaching. In spite of a near death
experience at the hands of several profanity-spewing, angry amazons from
the infamous Pastor Fred Phelps's Westboro Baptist Church, Mike Foht and
those he led did get some very positive encouragement from sorrowful
Episcopalians who took WCU literature. Mike was also confronted by the
wolf Bishop Gene Robinson himself. Suffice it to say, Robinson was not
wearing his kind, gentle, television persona; and the fur flew! Back

An unexpected blast of gospel truth
on a Green County
back road.
|
The question is,
Why did they come in
the first place?
On August 7, the AIDS Ride came to Green County. My
church is located close to the center of that county. The AIDS Ride has a
very high percentage of sodomites involved, and virtually everyone else
riding is very pro-sodomite. Of course, a portion of the money raised in
that event goes to teach young people how to "safely" engage in
fornication with strange flesh (Jude 7). For two straight days, members of
our church ministered to the riders as they laboriously wended their way
along Green County back roads.
Our first meeting took place a few miles from the
western boundary of Green County near Browntown, which was the ride's
entry point into our county. We set up our signs and banners on a little
country road between a large corn field and a woods. The riders were
shocked as they came over a hill in small groups about a half of a mile
from us and were greeted with the amplified preaching of God's Word along
with banners bearing the same, including biblical messages about
homosexual acts. It was, beyond question, a very unique setting. After
some time, several car loads of sodomites and their friends came to try to
harass us, but from a distance. They seemed a bit intimidated by the
surroundings. Then three squad cars bearing Green County sheriff's
deputies showed up. Our opponents, mostly quite young and very urban
looking, ran to the officers and confidently asked them to get rid of us.
They quickly found out that they were not in New York City or San
Francisco--or for that matter, Milwaukee, Wisconsin! We continued to
preach to those who were peddling for perversion with the added benefit of
being able to have some of Green County's finest in the congregation.
Later, we leap frogged ahead and hit some of the same riders again as they
were nearing Monroe.
The next morning, we were up bright and early with our
signs and banners set up on the public sidewalk in front of the Monroe
High School. (All along the AIDS Ride, government schools were opened up
so that the riders could stay, eat, and shower in them.) For several
hours, we preached to bunches of jeering, gyrating sodomites until the
last of the riders had hit the trail for the trip to their first rest stop
of the day in Juda.
While in Monroe, a sodomite loudly shouted a very
sexually explicit comment and a filthy sexual offer to me. This was done
by the sodomite as he stood on high school property in front of a number
of people, including my daughters. Currently, the Green County D.A. is
refusing to prosecute the pervert. He has instead investigated me! The
reasons D.A. Luhman has in writing given for this include that I should
expect such things to happen, given who I am. So apparently, the D.A. has
signaled to the God-haters that it is open season on my church and me! In
his letter, Luhman also spends much ink on the fact that several years
ago, I led a successful effort to defeat his office's attempt to get the
first-ever hate crime conviction in Green County!
After we were done at the Monroe High School, we leap
frogged past the bike riders, who were always strung out for miles, and
then set up twice more to preach to them in the open countryside. Then we
hit them again at their rest spot, the Juda High School. That set the
pattern for the rest of the day. We followed the riders right through the
width of Green County. We hit them in every town and several times
in-between every town. By the end of the day, as the riders left Green
County, all their elitist smirks were gone; and a number were emitting
guttural, wordless screams as we drove past them or they peddled past our
set ups. We noticed many were taking almost no time at rest stops. In the
end, their main focus seemed to be to get out of Green County. At the same
time, when they would see us set up and waiting for them ahead along the
road, they would often stop and ride in small circles in the road as if
trying to work up the courage to come past us.
A very pro-sodomite news reporter participating in the
AIDS Ride made it a point on the nightly news to say, "Remember, this
ride is not about lifestyles; it is about saving lives." This,
of course, was problematic for the AIDS Ride organizers since they want
everyone to believe that sodomites are born that way, and they do not want
to talk about sodomy in connection to AIDS when doing such a public event.
Apparently, the pressure got to the reporter. The same man said to me as
he passed at one point, "Ralph, remember, no weapon that is formed
against us shall prosper."
As the riders passed us the last time on the second day,
just over the eastern boundary of Green County, I thanked them over our
amplified sound system for coming to our neck of the woods so that we
could preach to them. All together, we confronted the riders with God's
Word in all five towns they went through. We also hit them nine more times
in the countryside as they were laboring along on lonely country roads
where normally the only ears that would have heard our preaching were on
stalks of corn. On average, the riders had to listen to us preach for
anywhere from a third to a half of a mile each time. We have great hope
that the Lord will use that two days of ministry to bring someone to
Christ and to help spread the word that Green County, Wisconsin is not
"open and affirming" when it comes to the promotion of
homosexual acts.
With regard to our first great hope, in Juda, Wisconsin,
two sarcastic sixteen-year-old boys, unassociated with the ride,
confronted me with a barrage of questions about God, the Bible, and
homosexuality. We ended up talking together for about twenty minutes. We
covered creation, God's law, sin, righteousness, judgment, heaven, hell,
and the good news of salvation by grace alone, through faith alone, in
Jesus Christ alone. In the end, both teenagers were listening intently,
and we could see God working on their consciences and in their minds. The
young man who had been the most arrogant was silently raising his hand
whenever he had a question. Later when it was over, my daughters, who were
present, and I all agreed that the Spirit of the Lord had worked
powerfully through His Word on the hearts of those two young men for whom
God had filled our hearts with love. After they left, we prayed fervently
that they would become new creatures in Christ. God is good to allow and
enable us to share the gospel with the lost. It is such a blessing to do
so. Back

Tammy, Tammy, Tammy,
will you ever
repent and turn to Christ?
On August 27, Congresslesbian Tammy Baldwin returned to
Monroe for a town hall meeting. As usual, my church was on hand with
banners, signs, and literature. We have become the "offscouring of
all things" to the predominantly elderly crowd who are more than
happy to trade away their children and grandchildren's future, safety, and
happiness for government perks dished out by an open lesbian whose
politics are of the red variety. This time around, I had one of my young
men confront Tammy and preach to her when she arrived. I do hope that
Tammy did not feel neglected, as I have been preaching to her for many
years; but we need to train the next generation. Back

The start of WCU's
gospel gauntlet at Mazo Beach.
|
Three Trips to Mazo Beach
On July 26, August 9, and August 30, WCU conducted
ministry on the parking lot and walk way leading to Mazo Beach. We had a
good turnout each time with the best being on August 30 when over eighty
Christians lined our gospel gauntlet to the beach. On that day, we also
had six brothers, including two
pastors, and one sister on hand from the United Kingdom. Our U.K.
brethren were greatly impressed with the freedom we still have in this
country and the eagerness with which some Christians still exercise it for
the glory of God! During the three Mazo ministry events, several children
were rescued from being taken to the beach when their adult escorts were
turned away by Christians confronting them with the Word of God. On August
30, a young man headed for the beach repented of his sins, placed his
faith in Christ, and publicly prayed to be saved! Back

WCU Pro-Life Pickets in Reedsburg,
Black Earth
Although WCU's main focus by far is confronting and
contending with the lies of New Sodom, WCU does sponsor some ministry
events with a different focus, such as a pro-life picket in a different
town in south-central Wisconsin once per month. On July 12, we were in
Reedsburg where we ended up fighting a successful battle to keep from
being run out of town by several crude individuals backed up by the
police. On August 9 in Black Earth, the local police were joined by a
group of Dane County sheriff's deputies. The two police forces used every
unconstitutional trick in the book to sweep the area clean of our pro-life
witness, but again to no avail. Thanks be to God. Back

Two Overpass Pickets in Madison,
One
Federal Lawsuit
Things turned out differently for us in Madison,
Wisconsin on September 2. We began our ministry outing by putting up a
gospel banner in front of the state capitol. While preachers, including
several from the United Kingdom, took turns sharing the gospel, others in
our group handed out a large number of gospel tracts.
 |
|
Pay dirt! Brother Tony Couppee
spent an hour sharing the
Scriptures with this young man.
|
After that open-air witness, we headed for a pedestrian
overpass on the West Beltline. There, within the caged walkway over the
highway, we unfurled two sixteen-foot banners reading, "Homosexuality
is sin." We faced the banners toward the approaching traffic on each
side of the medium strip. By each banner, we also held a smaller sign. One
read, "Christ can set you free"; the other read, "Repent
ye, and believe the gospel." (This was the second of two such
overpass pickets which we did in Madison within the past few months.) We
were greatly encouraged by the predominately positive response from
motorists in that sodomite stronghold. Some smiling drivers thrust their
arms out their windows with their fingers in the "V" for victory
sign! This is a new twist. Apparently, more citizens are realizing that
the sodomites are waging war against law and liberty. The encouraging
thing is that those citizens signaled not only the realization that there
is a battle to be fought against New Sodom, but also their desire to see
victory in that battle!

Open-air ministry in
front of the Wisconsin
State Capitol.
|
However, Satan is not one to give up so quickly and
provoked the powers that be in Madison to send a bevy of police officers
who, under the color of "public safety" and on behalf of several
"disgruntled citizens," removed us from the bridge under threat
of imprisonment after quite a long war of words. In such cases, once the
police have placed their feet squarely in their mouths and arrest is
imminent, it is always best for those litigating the case for us to leave
under threat of arrest rather than to actually be arrested. The word from
the police is that the Dane County D.A. was behind the police action. That
is the same office which has said in court that I was
"threatening" an individual whom I warned of hell while sharing
the gospel. It is the same office which fined me $1,000 for preaching the
whole counsel of God on the parking lot of the Mazo nude beach (under
appeal). It is the same office, which in 1996, let a sodomite off the hook
after the police had charged him with the serious crime of substantial
battery for knocking me unconscious while I was handing out gospel tracts.
It is the same office we will soon see in federal court! As I told the
police, we will be back on that bridge. Back
