HOLLYWOOD FOLLOW-UP 8-27-11

It was a CRAZY night in Hollywood. Lots of people were out. Dean, Sai, Forest, Steve, Sharon, Richard & I were out on the Blvd and also... (drum roll)...

...Pastor Jack joined us! He is the THIRD Pastor to come out on the streets with us to witness to the lost. Richard is working on a project for CBC and needed to take some pictures of Pastor Jack. They decided that Hollywood would be a perfect "backdrop" and joined us to do some witnessing as well!

The Pastor is going to do a series on Genesis and they wanted to get some footage of him debating atheists or evolutionists. I tried desperately to draw a crowd using trivia... to no avail.

Pastor Jack still got to share the good news with a guy who said he was a Christian. Many others were listening, you never know how the Lord will use it.

We all handed out a BUNCH of Giant Hundreds and Million Dollar Bills.

Here the Pastor was talking with one of the Church of God folks who beleives in "Sinless Perfectionism." He actually brought his wife back to meet the Pastor and said that he wanted to visit CBC.

Dean had the highlight of the night when he was heckled by a guy with his own BULLHORN.

I thought this picture captured how effective this kind of ministry is in getting out the Gospel. Within a very small area several evangelists can reach people with various methods. This is such a great team of saints to serve with they are all becoming seasoned veterans!

What a great time down on the Boulevard! We are so blessed to have a church and leadership that supports this ministry by funding tracts but also by praying for us and joining us as we GO. Please pray for all those who heard or read the good news!

"Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature." - Mark 16:15

Noho Follow-Up 8-20-11

Great turn out for evangelism last night! (Sorry for the poor quality cell phone pics) Elder Bob & his son Daniel, Elder Mike and his wife Joanne, Dean & Sai, Mark, Sharon, Forest and myself. The Lord is good to raise up laborers. This has been one of my prayers for CBC and He has been faithful to answer that prayer.

Elder Bob did a great job explaining the Gospel.

Daniel handing out tracts.

It was great to see Sharon again though it was not for long because she had so many great conversations with people that night.

There was a moment last night when at one point I stepped back and looked a the whole scene... guys preaching the Gospel, people handing out tracts, 1-2-1 conversations, bibles going out and fellowship one among another. It has been humbling to be part of this ministry. I have been amazed at the Lord's work.

The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise - Proverbs 11:30

Robert Gray

Robert is a dear brother who I was blessed to meet and serve with when my family and I took our trip to Colorado. You can watch more about him below and pray for this brother as he is a FULL TIME Evangelist!

HOLLYWOOD- FOLLOW UP 8/11/09

Steve and I had a great time preaching out on Hollywood Blvd. While we preach we have a small "Free Bibles" display next to us. Usually between 20-30 bible go out while we preach.

This photo (which I had to blur out not to cause any body to stumble) is a sad commentary on our culture. In broad daylight with children around there are "immodestly" dressed costume characters for you to have your picture taken with. We have become a perverted, shameless nation.

We were there about 2 hours till the break-dancers showed up to do their thang. We headed back to Noho praising the Lord.

"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness to all the nations, and then the end will come." Matthew 24:14

Hollywood Follow-Up 8-6-11

There were 6 of us this night (left to right) Steve, Clint, Chris, Elder Mike and his wife Joanne & myself.

It was a busy night at Hollywood Blvd. Trying to take advantage of the final summer vacation weeks of big crowds.

Right out of the gate Joanne was confronted with one of the "Black Hebrew Israelites." They are an angry bunch sent by satan who like to argue and distract evangelists from sharing the gospel. Best to be avoided.

Nicholas was a heckler that seemed familiar to me then I remembered that he was one of the bunch that heckled Tony at Noho almost 2 years ago TO THE DAY... weird!

Nicholas was pretty calm this time around while asking questions and he helped to draw a decent size crowd. I was blessed to get to talk with him 1-2-1 afterwards and he even shook my hand and took a copy of "The Big Question."

Steve was faithful to preach several times.

He gets more and more concise in his gospel presentation.

Young Chris (who is only 15 yrs. old) got up on the box a couple of times and open-aired "ala Whitfield"... PRAISE THE LORD!

This guy wanted a picture of the "Famous" Million Dollar bill. Of course he got to take one ;)

Over all it was a great night out. Tracts were flying out and the team was faithful to hand out about 1500 tracts. Getting to serve in this ministry with these excellent saints is such a blessing!

GOD IS GOOD!

"For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it."

Mark 8:35

Birthday Quote

My Son said this to me today on his 5th birthday:

"Daddy, you go witnessing a lot... I bet everyone knows the Lord now."

I wish it were so Son.

Burbank Media Center Follow-up 7-30-11

Here is a brief follow-up from Steve V. for this past Saturday night:

"Our fearless team leader (yeah right Steve ;) David S. was out in the trenches with the Ambassador's Academy team in Oceanside this weekend, so Steve M. ably served as point man for our outreach at the Media Center Mall in Burbank. He brought a case of (100) Bibles that was completely distributed by the end of the evening. Mark, Dean, Sai, Forrest, and Steve took turns with tracts, Bible distribution and preaching duties. We were joined by Chris V. who happened to be in the area and who served diligently giving out many tracts and engaging many in 1 to 1 conversations. Mark prayed for Jesus to be glorified and the Lord blessed us with an unusually peaceful environment and many who were receptive to the gospel. Several believers stopped to encourage us including these friends of Steve's from another church. (See pic of Steve with couple). Praise the Lord for another wonderful opportunity to serve Him in this exciting way."

Thank you guys for your obedience to the Great Commission! The Lord has been faithful to raise up faithful laborers for the harvest.
