"Have You Seen Him?": Tampa Columnist Tells All

We recently heard that The Jesus Guy, who is currently roaming around the Tampa Bay area, was featured in a St. Petersburg Times article:
"Maybe you've seen him walking down the street and done a double-take: the Jesus Guy, convincingly bearded, Bibled, barefoot and robed."

Tampa Sighting

Comment posted 1/11/10 on The Jesus Guy's YouTube Trailer page:

"I talked to this guy on Saturday. Currently he is in Tampa, Florida. He is not a bum or crazy in the head, he doesn't call himself "Jesus". He calls himself James and he is actually like a priest in the words that he says to people. He is a nice person and has no anger in him at all. His clothes are pure white, his teeth are clean, and he looks like he takes a shower every day, which ultimately means that he is not a bum. His clothes are to symbolize that he is a preacher and a follower of God. What I am trying to say is to not discriminate against him."

Walking With WYN

"I recently met James "the jesus guy" in Vero Beach Florida, and i got some fantastic photos of him.

So today i was killing a hour before i had to pick my father up from a meeting and i saw a man who looked like Jesus walking down a major road bare foot, so having my camera on me i instantly turned around and snapped some shots of him while he was walking. I then decided to get out of the car and talk to him, i talked to him for almost a hour and even walked about a mile with him as he was heading to Tampa.

He never once pressed Religion on me, he asked about my beliefs but never went further than that, i then brought it up later on. He was the most warmhearted man i have ever met in my life and if anyone ever sees him, i really think you should take the time to talk to him.

I am not a very religious person and its a rather hot topic with me, but after speaking with him i feel my spiritual beliefs have become more open.

Thanks Cameron for sharing your story and your photos!

Veteran's Day in Fort Pierce

I live and work in Fort Pierce, Florida. I work at St. Anastasia Church and James was at Mass this morning and talked to the children (we have a school) about trusting God. It was a special Veteran's Day Mass so the church was packed. I talked to him for awhile. He is so cool. A couple of teachers were concerned for the children, so they called the cops. After questioning him for a while, they finally left. His feet are amazingly good after walking all over the world barefoot. He has a TOTAL trust in God. We all asked him to pray for us. And we in turn will pray for him. Thanks. I can't wait to get the documentary about him.

God bless, Darlene

Thanks Darlene for contacting us and sharing your story. It's great to hear where "What's Your Name?" is, what he is up to and how he touches people.

Preaching at New Heights

Morten from Norway shared with us how he met "What's Your Name?" on a plane ride from Mexico City to Frankfurt, Germany earlier this month. We suspect that his plane ride was one of the legs of "What's Your Name?"s trip to Italy. Morten said WYN was a "very interesting guy, I enjoyed his company. He told me about the film."

Thanks Morten, we hope you enjoy the DVD.

"What's Your Name?" Speaks in NJ

On September 11th( last Friday), "What's Your Name?" was a special guest speaker at mass in Saint Aloysius School in Jackson, New Jersey, and was a big hit. The school and community gathered as the first mass of the school year was celebrated in the new church by the Parish’s new associate priest, Father Brian Woodrow. Those who lost their life in the attacks on September 11th were also remembered with honor and in prayer. The school would like to thank him and wish him luck as he continues his walk with the Lord.

Thanks to Olive for the information!

Benvenuto!

Looks like all is a "go" for "What's Your Name's?" trip to Rome and the Vatican. Passport. Check.

Ticket. Check.
Traveling Companion. Check. (A Priest friend, Fr. Anton Ba Phan)
Shoes... unnecessary?
Through the generosity of friends of WYN, who donated frequent flier miles for his ticket, our barefoot evangelist will be making his way to Rome and the Vatican on August 11th. Bon Voyage, and good luck!

Perhaps, "What's Your Name?" will have and audience with the Pope? (You never know!)

If you’re ever in...

The Jesus Guy MySpace page recently received a message to pass along to "What’s Your Name?" from Jacquie in Shenandoah, PA. Recently providing "What’s Your Name?" with a ride on Sunday, May 24, Jaquie told us that she thoroughly enjoyed her conversation with him. Jacquie wishes she could have had more time to talk to him, saying her interaction was “enlightening.”
So... "What’s Your Name?", if you are ever in Drums, PA, stop by the Pilot Truck Stop because Jacquie’s co-workers would love to meet and talk to you!

Spotted Again

Here is a photo from April 28th of “What’s Your Name?” talking with a driver at a car wash. Thanks Maria, it seems he has been very busy and has decided to spend some time in and around Hazelton, PA.
