CBC Evangelism: Declare His Deeds 9/20/2014

The Lord also will be a refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. And those who know Your name will put their trust in You; For You, Lord, have not forsaken those who seek You. Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion! Declare His deeds among the people. When He avenges blood; He remembers them, He does not forget the cry of the humble. (Psalm 9:9-12)

Dr. Jack, Richard, and Steve M. took up positions in front of the Town Center Mall for some great stop-light preaching opportunities.

God was glorified before hundreds of souls by the preaching of the word, one to one conversations, and the distribution of tracts.

Dr. Jack is great with kids and he spoke with these youngsters after one brave kid volunteered for the classic Good Person test which drew a large crowd.

Meanwhile, Mark and Steve were taking turns upon the box.

Curiously, this young man decided to grace us with some "gospel" tunes on his melodica. Though perhaps well-intentioned, it took the form of a distraction and, after prayers were silently offered, the young man moved on down the avenue to a place with less competition.

Many one-to-ones took place. Tracts and Bibles were distributed.

Brother Vinny joined us again, and dominated the intersection. Vinny's presentation of the Gospel is tough, taking no prisoners. This type of approach always draws some and offends others. As a former gang member he can challenge young men by calling them out on the sins he knows they are involved in. Numerous encouragers and hecklers interacted with the team members while Vinny was on the box.

Thanks to Jeremy for the great photos!

Saturday, October 4th - Instead of our usual Burbank outreach we will be meeting in Glendale at the Central Avenue entrance to the Galleria Mall, across from the Americana. There is a large sidewalk area at the stoplight between Broadway and Colorado. Large groups of shoppers gather at the light waiting to cross back and forth between the two malls. Please join us on the Galleria side at our usual start time of 6:00 pm. If you can join us for prayer, please meet in the CBC parking lot at 5:00 pm for prayer, and then caravan to the mall. We will NOT be returning to CBC after witnessing. See you there!

The Morning Shift 9/10/2014

Please join us on Wednesday mornings at 6:00 AM at the North Hollywood Metro Station on Lankershim Blvd. It's a great opportunity to share the truth with the thousands of commuters who pass through this area.

You can be sure the the cultists will be there passing out literature. In fact they are always there, literature in hand, when we arrive. Are we prepared to do for the truth what they do for a lie?

Abortuary Duty 9/13/2014

Counseling occurs under a variety of circumstances. Here Don is responding to an opportunity to plead with a young man who had just dropped off a woman in what we sadly refer to as the "drop and kill zone." He conveyed the idea that "real men" take responsibility. Although he claimed not to be the father of the child, Don pointed out to him that his participation by enabling the abortion makes him an accomplice to murder in God's eyes. Don exhorts such men to do the right thing and go up to the clinic and plead with the woman to change her mind. Sometimes this happens, and a victory is celebrated. Sadly, this man drove away, so we can only assume that he did not even try.

Lucy is a long time pro-life activist who is very bold in approaching and counseling expectant mothers as they approach the clinic. She has adopted a baby girl whose birth-mother was not able to care for her.

You can join the effort at the Mission Hills clinic, 10200 Sepulveda Blvd., 91345, every Saturday and Tuesday morning from 8 to 10 am. No experience necessary.
