These are the questions that the school year book committee asked me for the Oklahoma University year book:
Name: Jesse Morrell
Occupation: Open Air Preacher
Age: 21
1. What is your purpose in traveling to different campuses?
OpenAirOutreach.com is a network of preachers that travel full-time to campuses to spread the gospel. We are young men who will not tolerate the sins of our society to go unchallenged. We seek to warn every man, and teach every man, so that every man might be presented perfect in Christ Jesus.
2. How are you generally greeted?
We are opposed on every side. The heathens and pagans on the campus oppose us for preaching against their sin and the professing Christians on campus (whom we often find to be hypocrites) oppose us for preaching against their sin.
While open air preaching I've been kicked, hit in the head, pushed, spit at, soaked in beer, have had eggs - bolloons - cigarettes - and a glass bottle thrown at me, all to the glory of God.
3. How do you percieve OU's campus (is it mainly religious, nonreligious, atheist, Protestant....)?
There are atheists, protestants, catholics, and all the rest of them. But my impressions of the campus haven't been of their religious beliefs as much as their wicked practices. The OU campus is full of adulterers, blasphemers, masterbators, liars, theives, homosexuals, sodomites, pot-heads, and especially drunkards and fornicators etc. They are monsters of iniquity, a generation of vipers, sons of the devil. And these are to be the future leaders of our country and the world? God help America.
4. What kind of greeting did the campus give you?
I've preached numerous times on the OU campus, but the largest crowds might have been up in the 300 range. They seemed interested and curious. Most of the students would inquire about the bible and Christianity. We were not forced off the campus by an angry mob chanting "LEAVE OUR CAMPUS" as in other places, so I thoroughly anticipate returning to OU.
5. Why do you think people argue with you?
There is this "tolerance" and "diversity" teaching going around these days. Of coarse we preach that God does not tolerate sin and that He commands all men, not some men, to repent. So these "tolerance" people don't seem to tolerate us very much. The "diversity" people don't want to be diverse enough to accept us. People say, "you are entitled to your opinion" but if your opinion is that many and most other opinions are false or wrong, then people have a problem.
But a more simple answer is mainly because they are sinners who love their sin.
6. What has been your most interesting experience in your career?
My entire career is interesting, but the most exciting to tell you the truth have been the times I've been arrested for preaching God's Word. Never have I felt more of the presence and favor of God, or more in God's will as though in the book of Acts, then the times I've had to spend nights sleeping in a cell singing and praising God.
7. What do you think is one of the greatest misconceptions people have of you?
People will accuse us of being crazy; John 7:5, Acts 26:24. But in reality they only hope that we are crazy because if we are not, then they are in big trouble with God on Judgment Day and are in need of the Savior Jesus Christ.
8. What made you want to start this group?
I started OpenAirOutreach.com a couple of years ago because America is heading towards judgment as fast as a bullet at the end of a barrel. My generation is on a greese slide down to hell. But God commands that Christians take a bold stand in these days to declare God's Word of "repentance towards God and faith in Jesus Christ." Only Jesus can make men new. Only Jesus can cover and cleanse the sins of my generation.
9. If you could give one word to the OU students what would it be?
REPENT!!!
