Christian talks with a Buddhist- Gay Rights Activist 

THIS is how we should evangelize. not yelling at people and demeaning them. you did such an amazing job!! it's inspired me!

I'm in tears because it is SO rare to see this. Two black men. A straight Christian black man treating a gay non believer black man with full respect, love, dignity. All the while engaging in sharing biblical truth. Thank you for setting this example.

This video almost made me cry. My whole heart was just affected! I pray that I learn to communicate Jesus to people like this. Thank you for this. God bless you and your wife, Mr. Perry.

He basically awakened him to the truth that he doesn't really know why he's doing what he's doing. This was great.

When you started talking about the Gospel, and how without Christ, Christianity is nothing, I felt the presence. Powerful. 🙏

Great approach Preston! I love how you made him realize that his own way of rationalizing his beliefs were flawed. This is how we as Christians need to engage the lost, with Love and the mind of Christ.

Please keep these coming. Our generation needs this encouragement and knowledge more than ever. I was blessed and learned a lot.

I love how Preston is so humble without judgement to this man. I love how he is asking and answering questions like Christ would. Great interview and perspective from Preston.

OMGGGG. This is sooo GREAT and truly BOLD! May God bless you for doing that in His spirit of LOVE!!!

I recently converted into Christianity again because my guy would challenge with me with questions. I didn't even know how to answer questions regarding my other believes after a while. So I questioned myself... Proof that I was lost. But now that I am back, I am stronger than ever before. The wisdom that the powerful Word of God provides does not compare. ONE MUST READ THE BIBLE! Otherwise, you'll be told lies upon opinions and that doesn't serve us any justice. It's all in the Bible. Now I'm sure about why I believe in God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. GLORY BE TO GOD!

This is BEAUTIFULLY done!!! So encouraged. Well done Preston!!!

This is beautiful. First of all, the man he is evangelizing to obviously has a beautiful and pure heart. I pray that God would mold his heart to be more like Jesus and to understand God’s word, not with a condemnation, but with a conviction and loving viewpoint. Preston, I’m always amazed in the way you navigate conversations with such grace, truth, and boldness as is your mission. Excellent work for the kingdom.

Praise God, you are looking at this man with nothing but love. This is how Christians should evangelize.

I’ve watched 2 of your videos tonight! I loved them. Bonus, I did not realize you were Jackie Hill Perry’s gusband. I’ve done 2 of her studies and bought her book Good God Gay Girl! I love you both!❤

You really talked to him as a brother and an equal. Everything was so calm, the whole conversation flowed.That’s pretty rare. Thank you for taking this approach and for teaching me this approach.

Awesome! Have you spoken with the gentleman since this interview?

please do more of this preston after quarantine and stuff ends because this is amazing. so encouraging pls do more

Wow, this was such a beautiful conversation! Trevor, was truly touched by Jesus. I could tell by the way he listened and was definitely humbled so that his ears can be opened to God’s truths.

Wow! Trayvon is such a beautiful loving soul and showed so much grace and patience toward you. He has so much wisdom and spiritual understanding and is able to defend himself and his beliefs with so much gentleness ❤️

This was a beautiful dialogue between two mature men who were open to hearing each other. God bless you Bro. Preston and Trevon! This is helping someone.

Love your channel Preston! As a young new husband and Father, its great to have brothers in Christ like you walking it out and getting in these dialogues.

This is so beautiful. It is refreshing to see both men reach across the isle and have this discussion with so much grace and respect for each other. This is how it should be!!

Trevon has a gentle heart! Sweet guy

He was an awesome person and you two handled each other gracefully. Beautiful conversation lead by our Father. I pray God keeps you safe and that he encourages you in every area you are seeking him for wisdom and guidance brother. God bless your endeavors to live out his purpose for your life.

This was powerful!! My heart is full...I pray for this young man and all those who do not know the Lord as their personal Savior. Preston continue the work of the Lord. I am excited for the next video.

This is YOUR ministry. Most of us could not do such a great job!

Preston's a master at consistently finding the gaps in people's world views and he delivers challenges to them in gracious, effective ways. I would add that there is also a consistent root to their rejections of the Gospel in the way of broken experiences. These experiences leave a wound that they do not think Jesus can heal - and they often think that because it was caused by someone who claims to bear His name. I would challenge all believers to compliment these tactics with that of directly addressing the brokenness people experience and help them see how those experiences are probably informing their misgivings about Christianity. Much love for this guy and what he's doing.

This is really valuable for Christians to be able to connect with people from all different backgrounds. Thank you!

Thank you for showing how to talk to those who are out in the world by not attacking them. We must pray for them, not condemn, and hope for them to be set free from the world. Show love, not hate!

This conversation makes me really think about things on how we should respect other's, as a person of faith, just an eye opener, thank you for your blog's, I needed to see this because I know God is working on me. All I can say is praise the Lord! Be bold.

Bro this dude went straight to the fundamental presuppositions! We need more Christians out here not arguing against homosexuality as a sin itself, but arguing against the moral paradigm in which people who condone homosexuality operate in. I guarantee you all of them will be sophistic moral relativists, and after you argue for absolute truth relativism crumbles into absurdity.

This was so amazing. More videos like this please!

Beautiful Zeal and humbleness when discussing Truth brother. Much love and respect for that! Stay Blessed🙏

the amount of kindness, patience, and love was actually radical bro. Jesus was and IS a lover of people. Thanks for being love, man

I’m new to the channel I respect your bravery brother I struggle with having fear to share the gospel and I know some of the scripture God didn’t give me the spirit of fear but power love and a sound mind but I still be afraid

It really seems like the guy he is speaking to does know the right way but he just doesn't know what turning from his sin looks like and maybe he is scared because the life he has lived is the only one he knows. Turning from anything good or bad can be hard or scary. The ex-con has trouble walking the right path when getting out because he doesn't know model citizen behavior and/or no one will give him a chance, so he turns back to what he knows. This guy will have a hard road running into people who are not willing to help him change like Preston. I'm enjoying this conversation and they was they are treating each other. Respect and kindness goes a long way. If everybody spoke with each other like this in every aspect of their lives we would get much further with each other in every way. Now, if this brother or someone like him spoke to me a long time ago it will have saved me a lot of pain against others and myself.

I can see the conviction in his face, he knows in his heart all you say is true, life is just a struggle.. Damn this was convicting me just watching this. Thank you father. Im thankful to this video. GREAT job. I strayed from the church bcuz The first person I was ever offended by was God bcuz he said I could do or be who my flesh said I was.. 😔. I get it.. I get.

Blessings, blessings, blessings to you for what you are doing!!!! May the Lord be with you and protect and encourage you as you reach out to the unsaved!!!!

This was excellent. Truth presented in love!!! Well done Preston, well done!!!

This was a nice matured respectful discussion. Much respect and love!

Thank you for sharing. Much love! Colossians 4:5-6

Father God I pray The Holy Comforter will not leave Trevon alone....fill the emptiness he feels with Your Love....Love him in the way only You can!!!

May the Lord bless you brother. Humbly I want to tell you I watched this video and as a grown man I desired of the Lord that it would be me one day sharing the gospel with the pointed love, compassion and sincerity I just watched. Bro I would have ended up arguing and debating so many times. Watching this helped convict me of it because whenever I had a hammer to drop on him you were the exact opposite but he listened to you share the gospel!

OK so at three minutes and 42 seconds you’re talking about an incident that happened at a church. My guess is that you only saw the video clip of when the man was asked to leave. There is a long history of this man at that church and there is a long history of conversation and counseling that took place that you’re not taking into consideration. So please don’t take that one incident and judge that pastor based on that one little thing. You need to know the whole story of what happened before you place any kind of judgment against him.

This is great. Good conversation. Clear and compassionate. Thanks man.

I love how you are like not afraid to talk to a gay Buddhist and ask him questions and get deep into his beliefs to know his purpose to his belief

God bless you Preston. Jackie and you are starting to look alike more and more facially.🔥🔥#one flesh

🙌🏿🙌🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿 Amen amen amen again i just love the way you spoke and interacted with him! I loved that part how you said satan is a pervetor of truth, and that all religions ball from Christianity ! Great Job at sharing the Truth in Love!🙏🏾

I truly believe The Most High is pleased with you! I’m just coming back to Christ and i feel so far from this level! But I’m hopeful and God is faithful. You and your wife are truly blessings! Thank you for your works✨

Trevon seems so sweet, the sweetest man, hope he finds hes way on hes journey

"If you want to be racist , be racist.???? God laughs!! 400 years justified.

Such a beautiful Gospel, thank you for sharing it in love brother!!!

I pray that the Spirit of God touches the heart of Trevon!

This was wonderful!

He is such a sweet soft spoken man. Hopefully this conversation shifted something in him to study more about God & the Bible.

At the 29 min mark, his laughter was part tears, I picked up on that. To God be the glory !

This is a near prefect example of how we should confront sinners. We shouldn’t not win the argument, but rather the person. You did a great job with that

i love what you are doing, iam really getting so challenged and learning at the same time. I love the calmness of this guy, may GOD save him.

Man the gay guy was so gracious. He was so gracious and a lot of times as Christians people don’t understand we feel so ostracized and hated by the world. Very similar to the way homosexuals may have felt once upon a time in America and when you share your faith with someone that doesn’t agree with you but that understands you in love. It’s actually quite humbling. The Buddhist guy had such a beautiful spirit I’m praying that God would bring him to truth and light one day because he really seems like a great guy

Praise The Lord, very pleasing to see this dialog as it should be. ( a double minded man is unstable in all his ways) May he start to think more of his eternity and less fornication and ancestries.

You have a very pleasant disposition while presenting the Gospel. What you are doing is not easy, but is something that all Christians should be doing.

I like your approach brother. Many blessings to you.

I know what pastor you are speaking of. But the pastor had already spoke with him privately and told him what they believe and told him that he couldn’t come dressed as a woman then with 2-3 witnesses and the guy kept coming the same way then he went on and asked him to leave in front of the church.

This is so amazing, I need more

bless up bro i can't even say how good this is.

I see two guys telling each other what they believe. One man is listening and respects the others belief. The other man is trying to convert the other one to what he Believes.

The Climax of this whole video.14:44! Amein!!! Aye brother Wonderful work!!!! Praise Elohim(God in Aramaic Hebrew), for using you to show us, how the Ruach(Holy Spirit Aramaic Hebrew) engages lost children with Love!

Thanks for sharing Gods truth with them in such a kind way, God bless you.

I have chosen Buddhism because I recognize that Christianity is not an open space for me. There's nothing wrong with some spaces being exclusive as long as both sides are being respectful. I.e., I should respect y'all's rights to your beliefs and same goes in return. So I have no right to invalidate or claim that homosexuality and adultery are sins in the Bible. Same way you can't deny that drinking alcohol and adultery are wrong in my views. I recognize that intentionally marrying a man I will never love will be harmful, so I cannot do that. I must understand and acknowledge how my actions affect others. And if I know that the other side will be negatively affected (in this case, me devastating a man by lying to him), I should not do it. With that in mind, we should be respectful to each other's faiths. I'd never call God "fictional sky man" or whatever, because I respect other people's views. Same way I shouldn't be invalidated for belonging to another religion

Groundbreaking work Preston 💪🏾

“Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;” ‭‭Ephesians‬ ‭6:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ Great delivery ! Preston treated the young man with grace and dignity not leaving a bad taste in the encounter but rather planted a seed in the hope that the young man may regain his senses and come back to the truth which is Jesus and the Living God and to come out of the world.

I just found your channel and was watching quite a few videos and only now found out your Jackie Hill Perry's husband!

At around the 12:00 mark you cut away to you talking about "I started to ask him questions" and the first thing that popped up in my mind was " street epistemology" and I think that, if anyone were to be taken in a interview like that would question everything. Street epistemology by Anthony magnabosco is my eye opener. This video here though if super interesting and imma finish watching

Props from New Mexico USA. Keep up the good fight.

You are blessed Preston. ✨

My brother, you should watch Ray Comfort's you tube videos. He's been a street preacher for probably over 30 years and he's incredible at it. He has a real laid out plan and method and a solid answer 4 everything. But I love your videos. Keep strong in the Lord and the power of His might!

I watch living waters and the way of the master so I'm always expecting someone to break down the ten commandments with people by asking them have they ever lied and so and so to get them to judge themselves and the reason for salvation... it's always interesting though to see peoples approach...I'm just so used to hearing the way Ray breaks it down...

How God used Preston Perry was amazing, thank God for wisdom to win souls to Christ 👌

Bless you brother. The Lord bless you sevenfold. Great example of conforming to Christ image.

That was dope. Good job Pres.

I'm not a Christian. I use to be one, but I won't go back. I can't go back. But I would be more than willing to let you personally try.

Wow brother love what you’re doing!

Interesting conversation for sure!!

Good job on doing this. I don't knock what you're saying, but it's the actual Word that convicts and changes. Not just words and talking. Share actual scripture that they can read with you. Even if you don't carry a bible, use one on your phone and read and have them to read it too. Be blessed and keep up the good work.

“Christianity is not behaviour modification. It is a heart change.” 👏🏾

“They deny the existence of God, but still want to be treated as an image of God”...wow that was powerful. Humbling and eye opening statement.

Thank you! I’m a former atheist and it was a good friend of mine who challenged me to ponder and question what I believed. Two years later, the Lord saved me. I appreciate how thoughtful, gentle and respectful you were with this young man. Keep these vlogs coming! By the way, I think I had that same jacket in middle school-should’ve kept it.

This is probably the best example of modern-day evangelism I've ever seen. Ever.

I noticed that he somehow went seeking for a religion that will agree with what he what he wants to do. People often go find a set of rules that they agree with and then go against Christianity because it doesn’t agree with them.

More of these please! I think all of us in the Christian faith need learn to defend our faith in love! I've learned so much all ready! Keep shining bro!

As a former participant in homosexuality & have witnessed how outright cruel evangelists can be, this was beautifully done praise the Lord. & that mans humility is really admirable. Seems he has a teachable spirit. Lord reveal yourself to him

😭😭😭😭😭 I'm a Christian also however after watching this, I too wanted more of God, More of Christ, Glory be to God, I pray for all of us, to seek the one true God and repent of all our sins, Thank you Preston, this challenged me alooooot.

This gay man is convicted. The seed has been planted, God give the increase. Change His heart Lord.

You said Ethiopia was one of the first Christian nations in the 5th century 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽facts

I love 💘 how Preston said: my sin deserves just as much death as yours does. Living an LGBTQ Lifestyle is NOT the worst sin of all... Because God doesn't RANK sin...SIN is SIN is SIN to God

You handled this so well! You didn't demean him, you didn't poke at him when he couldn't answer questions. But you showed the hypocrisy in his beliefs and the truth in Christ. I look forward to watching more of these types of videos from you!

That man seems like such a sweet person. I pray God opens his eyes.

He will never be the same after this conversation

BOLD. GRACE. TRUTH! Fantastic apologetics. Not to win the argument. But to capture the heart. I love this content!

I'm a believer in Christ and of Yoruba descent , I'm Nigerian. I believe he is misinformed about God from the Yoruba culture. The traditional believers believe in the creator called "Olodumare" and they also believe in humans becoming small gods called "orisa". Anyway, this was a beautiful back and forth conversation and i've learnt better on how to deal with non believers with love. Praise Jesus!
