Over the past few days, Jeff Goss, along with Art and Susan Free, had the privilege of ministering at the New Mexico FFA State Convention in Las Cruces. With each passing day, it became evident that God had prepared a series of divine appointments that touched both students and teachers in powerful ways.

One memorable encounter was with a young man from Grants, New Mexico. After hearing the message, he prayed with Jeff to receive Christ—an experience so meaningful to him that he gave Jeff a heartfelt hug in gratitude. Similarly, a young girl, moved by the ministry, embraced Susan Free, expressing her thanks for their presence and message.

The overall response was overwhelmingly positive. Many FFA students and leaders voiced their appreciation. One teacher shared that although many of her students came from a Mormon background, they told her afterward that the message “made sense” and that they “loved what we were saying.”

Jeff also shared a powerful moment with a returning student. While speaking to a group, most eventually drifted away—except for one young man who stayed behind, smiling. He shook Jeff’s hand and said he had prayed to receive Christ with them the previous year and was baptized two months later. Jeff was able to equip him with more spiritual resources and encouraged him to continue growing in his walk with the Lord.
