  • The Ice Cream Man Who Stayed

    The Ice Cream Man Who Stayed
    Jul 2 2026
    This week on Missionary Moments, Joe Consford shares a powerful story about an ice cream man named Larry Marquis whose simple persistence and kindness led to a life being changed. Joe recounts how Larry, a pastor who supported his ministry by driving an ice cream truck, consistently showed up for a man who had grown bitter towards the church. Even when faced with a shotgun, Larry's unwavering dedication to showing God's love eventually broke through years of resentment, leading to a miraculous salvation. Join Joe as he reflects on the spiritual lesson of steadfastness in ministry and how God uses ordinary people who simply keep showing up.
