This was my first visit to this campus, and I was informed by a brother that this campus had a lot of Muslim students. I arrived on campus at 11:30 and began preaching the Gospel around 11:50 near the clock tower. Soon 25-30 were gathered several feet away and was listening quietly. Insults and comments about judging and casting stones were soon hurled at me when I began to expose the whoredoms and wickedness that the majority of the students are involved in, and when I boldly began to proclaim that they which commit such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. Ephesians 5:5, 1Corinthians 6:9-10 Galatians 5:20.
Soon a female campus police officer approached me and stated that I was too loud and professors were complaining about my voice level. I believe this was a lie due to the fact that I was not very loud nor was I close to the classrooms. After telling me she thought I had a big crowd, she then checked my drivers license and told me I could continue preaching.
As I returned and began warning about hell and judgment students began gathering quickly and the crowd by 1pm was around 125-150.
As I stated the fate of Catholics, Mormons, Muslims, etc… 3 angry Muslim students approached me and began yelling asking why would I condemn such a “prophet”? Also stating that Jesus was a good teacher like Muhammad.
I answered there question by preaching Galatians 1: 8,9, Jude 3, Acts 4:12, Isaiah 9:6,7, Colossians 1:15-19, Hebrews 1:8, 1Timothy 3:16. To my surprise they calmed down and asked some sincere questions later, and appeared to have received what I was preaching.
The crowd size was still increasing, and as hecklers came out of the woodwork I rebuked sharply and quickly. I stated to one guy that he looked like Harry potter, and another officer pulled me to the side and stated I had to leave campus because I was causing a riot, I told him that the university allowed me to preach here, he said stop name calling and I could preach. The crowd cheered as I came back to preach and soon the crowd grew to 230+.
They were fairly civil for the rest of the afternoon and there were two cop cars on hand and 5-6 officers. I stopped preaching around 3pm and answered questions and spoke to students until about 3:35. I then went to a local church service and Brother Micah preached for about an hour and did an excellent job.

I was delighted to have Brother Micah and Sister Elizabeth join me this day as we arrived on campus near 11:30... only to see that the free speech area was cluttered with lots of booths, students, tables and balloons. They were even blasting some worldly pop sounding music. I then checked for an alternative spot, and after being informed that there were none we walked about 60 yards down and made one.
I began preaching around 11:45?, and quickly a small amount of students began to stop and listen. I rebuked the many tobacco smokers that were on hand, and for over an hour lifted up my voice making known the mystery of the Gospel. The students were calmer then yesterday and many students sat and listened quietly. Soon 100+ were gathered and I introduced Brother Micah, and tagged out. He preached very well while Sister Elizabeth and I prayed and answered questions from scoffers who were opposed to our method of preaching. The crowd grew to 170- 180, and two police officers that dealt with me yesterday were on site again. The crowd dwindled for a little when a professing Christian persuaded many students to leave so he could tickle their ear momentarily, but as usual they rid themselves of their pride and come squandering back. A young man which was blind, and walking with his seeing eye dog approached me on the side and began to angrily state how he opposed our preaching, then began trying to convince me to change by beliefs, as he was a member of an apostolic church(Jesus only).
He walked in the center where Brother Micah was preaching and was recording the preaching, heckling and boasting about the filthy worldly music he listens to, including Michael Jackson.
I preached for another 20 minutes or so, and when we left there were many students sitting around still, and attempting to ask question. We were in a rush to beat the terrible rush hour traffic. We attended a local church service that night and Brother Micah preached and did an excellent job.
