I began crying aloud at 12pm and spared not for the sake of professors, the intolerant or the politically correct. Some of the students that were their in the amphitheater when I arrived left as I began denouncing sin, and Satan, while preaching hell, judgment, and repentance, A crowd of 50+ assembled and continued to grow.
The majority of the vocal students were hypocrites, and proselytes. A guy began banging on a hand drum before asked to stop by a few different students that stated they wanted to hear the preaching. His pride kept him from complying. A girl and a guy danced around me, and another guy followed me face to face for a few minutes, I ignored them and kept preaching. The crowd grew to over 150, and then an immodestly dressed female lied down with a book about 20 feet away from me, to the delight of the perverts of course.
The more I preached repentance and sin, the more rowdy the crowd became. A young man who professed to be an everyday sinning deacon in a campus ministry attempted to stimulate his ego by preaching beside me and tickling the ears of the sinners: 2 Timothy 4:3-4, Jude 16, Romans 16:18. He grabbed my arm very hard after I rebuked a female student for boasting about her fornication. He soon went and took a seat convicted, realizing he was wrong having assaulted me.
I had some good “back and forth” with some Catholics, hypocrites and atheists, and good questions were being asked. Later on in the meeting the hecklers calmed down and God opened it up that I could do some good preaching and question answering. Overall it was a very good day, I preached from 12 - 3:30pm to crowds of 75 - 200. The students seemed to enjoy the preaching and in general the crowd was very civil and remained in their seats. When I left at 4pm there were about 50 people still in the amphitheater.
That night I went to a local church service and exhorted the congregation concerning evangelism (Mark 16:15, Matthew 10:7, Luke 24:47, Galatians 1:15-16) for about 10 minutes after the Pastor asked me to testify. The pastor repeatedly said he was greatly stirred and encouraged by the testimony. He also encouraged some members of his congregation to labor for the Lord in fulfilling the great commission. Praise the Lord.

I began preaching at 11:50 and slowly drew a crowd of 25 that continuously and slowly kept growing until it began to rain. I preached uninterrupted for a good while until a few hecklers began mocking and screaming while accusing me of things I supposedly believe and said the day before. A loud mouth girl who kept bragging about being a virgin, who admitted to still having sin in her life would not agree with the Bible that she was lost and on her way to hell after hearing the word of God condemn her.
After 1pm I did lots of teaching and answering questions to very civil crowds ranging from 25 - 60, and mainly dealt with issues such as my preaching method, repentance, grace, and dead faith. I did enjoy this and many that asked questions seemed like they were honestly seeking biblical answers.
Around 2pm a University administrator approached me and stated she had gotten numerous complaints from professors and advisors, and that I needed to lower my voice or would be asked to move to a different area. I lowered my voice and 10-15 minutes later she returned and said people were still complaining, and then informed me that if she was to get another complaint I would have to move.
One young man that listened intently and was on hand for the majority of the day, said he was converted just months ago. He asked some good sincere questions but would reject and distort many passages I quoted that dealt with sin, salvation, and holiness. Later he admitted that he has sin in his life. It began raining around 2pm and several students left, but the majority stayed. It continued to rain until I left the campus.
I preached until 4:15 when a female student suggested that we gather under a tree nearby for more of a small group atmosphere. 10 or so gathered and I answered all questions with the Holy word of God. A guy, who was a leader of a Campus ministry, opposed many of the passages in God’s word I used to answer questions. He stated that he willingly and knowingly chooses to sin daily. He attempted to deceive the simple standing around when he shot from his mouth venomous and toxic poison he addressed the small group saying they can live the same sinful selfish lives and be saved.
Some told me they appreciated the preaching and more than expected told me they wanted me and expected me to come back tomorrow. I left the campus around 5pm.

This turned out to be probably the best day of preaching I ever had. The large amphitheater was taken by a group of students setting up tables, food, and large speakers, so I began preaching near the book store at 11:50. Soon students gathered in chairs and on the balcony and the crowd built to 65+
I was surprised at the questions that were asked, seeing that the majority were actually Bible based, and was not just foolish assumptions and trick questions. Some openly admitted that I answered questions biblically and efficiently, even as I denounced sin, sinning and sinners. The crowd maintained throughout the day and increased over 100 during the class breaks.
At one point as several students were attempting to justify sin, and many hecklers were blaspheming, mocking and making sinful jokes, the Holy Ghost enabled me to preach, and almost every single student was silent, those that had their hand raised put them down and the majority appeared to be listening intently. It was evident that many hearts were abruptly convicted. I preached the Bible hard, fast and loud with no heckling at all for almost 5 minutes. God allowed this to happen more than once. Some students appeared scared to interrupt in order to ask a question, and due to the Holy Ghost and the Word of God piercing hearts, a few female students began reluctantly urging me to stop preaching and to calm down.
Sometime after 3 pm a male student wearing long blond hair, put on suspenders, took off his jacket and began mimicking me dressed with what I wore the day prior. He heckled all week and told a lot of jokes, but nobody laughed as he fulfilled his “blasphemy challenge” right before he walked off. An elder guy with glasses was on hand to convince me of sin in my life and to, “preach to the crowd when he would get the chance. From my knowledge this guy in the past has been on campus to heckle preachers when they are preaching.
Just before 4pm as I was just discussing and teaching with a group of about 40+ a girl splashed a large cup of cold water in my face and chest and walked off cursing me.
An elder woman approached me as I was sitting and rebuked me for judging sin, I quoted Matthew 7:1-5, biblically reproved her, and then she stormed off angry. I discussed and answered questions with a small group until 4:45. A guy asked me to pray for the group before I left and when I was done praying nearly every student was and remained silent.
A Korean guy who verbally supported me while I was preaching asked me to lay hands and pray for him. We went to our knees and he began to weep as we prayed and sought the Lord and the Holy Ghost. God’s spirit was present and when I lifted my eyes when we were done others had their heads bowed and a mocker had his head hung low and was silent with a red face of conviction.
He encouraged me in the Lord as he said how the Lord had sent me to preach to him just as the devil was tempting him for a while to backslide, and how the preaching has blessed him and encouraged him in various ways. I preached to crowds mainly ranging from 50 - 125, and left the campus at 5pm. Many students and said they appreciated the preaching, and an older gentlemen told me to keep up the good work.
