The "FISH" were deep today!

Brothers and Sisters!

Well, the fishing today was interesting to say the least! When I got to the transit mall today, there was practically no one there! When I was there last, there were tons  of people around! My witness partner (baby joe) and I walked around and did get the chance to hand out a few tracts and I witnessed to a man from India named adeev. I had given him a tract last one of the times I was there, and had a nice conversation on his hindu religious beliefs. I seemed to have a little trouble transiting from that conversation to the Gospel, but ultimately he knows that we believe their is but One God  of whom we will stand in judgement! He refused to take a tract and check it out... but he has heard, and I pray a seed was planted. Hey... I also saw the young man I had talked to before "evan" He shook my hand but I could tell he was in no way going to have another conversation on the Gospel! All we can do is pray for these folks, show them Love and compassion and let them know we appreciate them, even if we differ on the truth!

  The Open air was as always a great experience. There were only a few folks in sight, but you never know who's listening! I started by telling them I was glad they were alive and could hear me, because they still had a chance to hear the message that will save them for eternity! After presenting the law, judgement and the good news of our debt payment by Jesus with His life's blood,  talking  about repenting, turning and placing our faith in Jesus Christ, that HE alone can save us from the wrath to come, sounded so very true and right! When we are presenting the Gospel BIBLICALLY and in the Holy Spirits power, His word never return void...NEVER!
Keep Fishing me brethren!

Until the nets are full!

Sowin' seeds at the Farmers Market

A beautiful day to head to the Local (farmers market) with my son, Joseph (8 months) The market was really busy today, and it was great to see some of the "regulars" I have passed out tracts to quite a few of the regular vendors and had some great comments about them. I met a really nice vendor who I had purchased from, but never witnessed to. She was from Palmdale,CA and regularly makes the "circuit" of Farmers markets. She loved the million dollar bill, and was so excited to have one. Whenever someone does something nice I try to come back with "HEY, SUCH A NICE GESTURE IS WORTH A MILLION DOLLARS..HERE" and I hand them a million dollar tract. I tell them it's a Gospel tract and that there is a Gospel message on the back, if they would please take time to read it! I usually tell them also these (the tracts) are fun to ask your friends "HEY, YA GOT CHANGE FOR THIS" Most people are so kind they start to get out their purse or wallet, until they see what it is...a million dollars!  Brothers and sisters, it is so important to share our faith in a biblical way, tracts may be the easiest, but please never underestimate the power of a good tract. 
Until the nets are full.
