To My Evangelism Family...


"Therefore, my beloved and longed-for brethren, my joy and crown, so stand fast in the Lord, beloved." - Philippians 4:1

To all those who I have had the great privilege to serve with out on the streets to reach the lost; you have been and continue to be a source of great JOY in my life! I used to think it was the saints of the bible I couldn't wait to meet in heaven... now I rejoice in the thought of seeing you all in Glory to share in what the Lord has done through this ministry!

Thank you all for your faithful service, love for Jesus Christ and love for people.

You are all very dear to me.

Abortion

This is a perfect example of the "agility" of the reprobate mind to justify sin.

Noho Follow-Up 9-24-11

Steve, Dean, Sai, Debbie, Forest, Mark, Sharon and I went to the Noho Subway station to share the Good News with people in our community.

Debbie faithfully hands out tracts to the locals.

Steve started us off. He has continued to grow in his open-air preaching.

Tim (CBC's music director) swung by to check out our street evangelism ministry and the Lord opened the door for him to share the Gospel with someone.

Sharon is probably one of the best at getting conversations with people. There are very few times when I don't see her talking with someone.

MANY bibles went out last night as well. Dean and Mark had to dip into their own supplies to meet the demands.

The heckler mic was pretty empty all night except for this lady Chris who came up a few times to ask question. She seemed to be receptive to the Word.

Mark preaching the Gospel. If anyone has an ability to project his voice its Mark... made for the open-air!

The highlight of the night was actually when we went to get something to eat at Panda Express and to fellowship. While walking there we passed a sports bar and handed out tracts to people watching a UFC fight. A guy who got a Million asked us, "Is this about the Lord?"... "Yes" was my reply... as I was walking into the Panda he responded in anger something to the effect that he didn't want this... "You need to Repent" was my response... "Man (BLEEP) you!"

Next thing I know I turn around in the Panda and He is talking with Sharon!!! I guess he came back to give her the tract and it turned into a conversation where Sharon got to share the Gospel with him! I invited him to eat with us several time and he declined but appreciated the gesture.

THE LORD TRULY DRAWS PEOPLE TO HEAR THE WORDS OF ETERNAL LIFE!!

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up at the last day. - John 6:44


Creation Declares the Glory of God!

God is AWESOME!



"Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him." - 1 Corinthians 2:9

HOLLYWOOD FOLLOW-UP 9-17-11

Seven faithful evangelists assembled to give God Glory in a dying world and offer LIFE through the Savior!

Steve was DRAFTED to preach first and boldly did it inspite of having 4 police officers behind him. Actually they are Deputy Sherrifs and I learned from Lawman they have no jurisdiction on the Blvd.... MUHAHAHA!

Sai the "Tract Machine" hands out the good news. Last night we handed out over 1000 tracts.

Here Mark and Debbie hand out tracts while Sharon witnesses to two ladies.

Mark here had some kids on bikes stop for a moment to listen.

Speaking of bikes... Larry builds custom bikes and rolled up to hear what we were doing.

The Lord presented a golden opportunity to witness to him. He had never really heard the Gospel and took a bible as well. God is Good.

It was a very busy night. We had to battle volume of the 50 person choir from the Church of God but the Gospel still went forth.

This was a great end to the evening when Dean passionately preached the Gospel. He has truly grown in his ability to preach the word. This picture is great also because it captures Sai handing out tracts, people listening to Dean preach, a guy coming up to get a free bible and Steve talking with a guy 1-2-1.

PRAISE THE LORD!

"But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing," - 2 Corinthians 4:3

Christian Hipster How To



The "Bible App" part is funny. Call me old fashioned but I like to use a bible when preaching or witnessing. Where else am I supposed to tape my Cheat Sheets?

Spurgeon quote for the day! 9-15-11


The other night Steve and I spoke with a guy named "Roger" who I've been blessed to share the Gospel with several times. He has opposed the Gospel both in 1-2-1 conversation and has heckled me several times. Our conversations seem to have become more civil over time and and after our last conversation it even ended with a hug and offer of getting together with him for coffee. When Steve and I walked away we both noticed something about Roger... he is willing to believe ANYTHING he reads except the BIBLE!


Maybe you know someone like this as well. The following Spurgeon quote addresses these kinds of people:


"The persons here spoken of were as evil in their hearts as in their lives, for they, “despised the counsel of the Most High.” Perhaps they intellectually rejected the teaching of Holy Scripture and scorned to receive what the Lord revealed. They refused to yield their understandings to Infallible teaching and judged their own thoughts to be better than the thoughts of God. The counsel of the Most High, though marked by the sublimity of Him from whom it came, appeared to them to be less high than their own soaring theories and, therefore, they despised it. To some men, any doctrine is more acceptable than that of Scripture. They gladly hear what doubters say, but they will not hear what God the Lord shall speak. His counsel of instruction, His counsel of command, His counsel of promise—His whole counsel they cast away from them—and they take counsel of their own conceit!" C.H Spurgeon

Spurgeon quote for the day! 9-3-11


“He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke their chains in pieces.

Oh that men would praise the Lord for His goodness, and for His wonderful works to the children of men!

For He has broken the gates of brass and cut the bars of iron in two.” Psalm 107:14-16.


"The deliverance here intended is one which is brought to us by redemption—and comes by the way of the great Sacrifice on Calvary. We are redeemed with the precious blood of Him who surrendered His own liberty for our sakes and consented to be bound and crucified that He might set us free. My grateful heart seems to hear Him saying again, as He did in the Garden of Gethsemane, “If you seek Me, let these go their way.” His consenting to be bound brought freedom to all those who put their trust in Him." - C.H. Spurgeon
