An unexpected witness opportunity!

Good Monday to you all!

Had a great witness opportunity this morning I just had to tell you about! 'Bout every monday morning I tend my non-fruiting strawberries in the front of my house, it's near the sidewalk, so I have many people passing by. Well this morning, I grabbed a few tracts, my weeder,basket,and Ipod (gotta listen to way of the master) and headed out to the curb. I had a conversation with the "regulars" who walk by... and have been "TRACT-ED" But, today I met a lady named Maria, who accepted my $1,000,000 bill, and after I askd her if she had a religious background, she told me she was Catholic, but that she didn't have to go to church. I asked her if she thought she was a good person, and she said she was. I then got a chance to give her the good person test, the law and the Gospel! Wow, and who says yard-work is a chore? By Gods mercy and blessing, I was able to witness one on one with Maria. Our God is so Wonderful and Awesome! Pray for Maria please!

  I  regularly listen to Way of the Master on my Ipod, and this last episode is with Mark Cahill, If you don't know Mark Cahill, he is an author,preacher and super evangelist! He has two books out.. "One thing you can't do in heaven", and "One heartbeat away" I read  the book one thing you can't do in heaven, and now am doing the workbook. If you need encouragement, and conviction about witnessing, you have got to read his books. Warning...you will never be the same! 

I frequently refer back to mark's book "one thing you can't do in heaven" when I feel like I'm getting lazy,squishy,or weak. Folks... a lot of people have been praying, since the days our Lord Jesus Christ walked on this earth, for laborers for the harvest. The fields are truly ripe, and the days of gathering are here! Please continue the work of the evangelist, spreading the Gospel and snatching the lost from the fires of Hell! Don't quit, don't quit, don't quit!

Until the nets are full!

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.

Great day at the transit mall!

Had a great morning at the local transit mall, handed out alot of tracts met alot of people, and had a great conversation with a young man named evan. He was none to receptive to the Gospel tract I gave him, but we had a good conversation, and the Gospel was shared... a seed planted? Met a nice spanish speaking family and I was sure glad to have the "MIL" dollar in spanish! I also met a brother from Taiwan, who was out here just till the weekend, very nice man! Open air had basically an "AUDIENCE OF ONE?" but I did notice a few men standing by the taxi stand, listening.  I had an interesting thought while running today.. I took a few days off from my running schedule, and boy.... did I struggle in the mountains today! All the way to the top of the mountain, I felt like I was going to stop, had to really push to get to the top. Isn't that the way it is if we take a break from seeking the lost and spreading the Gospel? We can lose our "Gospel witness fitness" pretty quick if we don't continually keep sharing the Gospel first and foremost in our minds. Remember, 150,000 people will step off into eternity today, many of those may be among us! Keep sharing the Good News of the Gospel of Christ, Use the law as a schoolmaster to drive the lost to HIM! and as Brother Tony would say... DON'T QUIT!

Until the nets are full!

HOW TO FISH...at the farmers market

Brothers and Sisters:

 IT"S THE WEEKEND!  A welcome relief for many! What are you planning to do this weekend; are you going to spend time doing Gods work...I hope so! We have our farmers market this weekend, and what a blessing! One of the hardest things to do when you open air is to draw a crowd. A farmers market,sporting event, or conference is a "READY MADE" gathering of "FISHES" I have found that in "farmers market" fishing, I start with handing out tracts.. The vendors love them, and people are already in a "I'll take that" mode. So, handing them a tract.."HEY,DID YA GET ONE OF THESE" most people are pretty receptive, If you go to the food vendors, many times there will be a line, and your prospects are better for 0ne-on-one. I compare it to fishing in moving water( walking down the street) and finding a fishing hole(those waiting in line to buy). I find that many times people have been found sitting on the curbs between vendors, and can be easily approached...courage my friends...courage. The down side to this evangelism site, is that it can be very busy, very loud and quite intimidating. Just remember that our Lord will guide us to who HE wishes us to witness to, and we just need to be faithful to step out! Let me know how your week/weekend went. And stay tunes for the upcoming podcast! Until all have heard!

The Nets...Are they full yet?

Well, it's getting closer to the end of the week and alot is going on! First, I want to send a shout out to my brother Jack, and his family, on the arrival of the newest member of the family. My brother(whom I met at the Ambassadors Academy) has a new son, and Mom and Baby are doing fine! Also, a shout out to my Brothers and Sisters from the Academy, may your "fishing" be plentiful! I had some interesting times this week handing out tracts, and witnessing. I have been scouting out great places to "FISH" and found the perfect fishing hole! It's nearby, in a city next to where I live. The square is a terminal for our local light rail system, the local train system, and a bus terminal, for city bus lines! I went there yesterday to hand out tracts,witness and open air. I haven't open air preached since Huntington beach during the academy last month, and I have been so convicted in my spirit to do so. I have been in prayer daily that I would continue to be on fire for the Lord in seeking and saving the lost. ( I seek..HE saves!) 

I have had many opportunities to open air and have chickened out, so I was determined to preach the Gospel. I arrived about one and a half hours before  had an appointment nearby, I parked my car... did some serious praying and headed to the square. I hadn't been there in a long time so I walked around looking for the best places to open air. Alot of people waiting for the train, and getting on and off the bus and light rail, so it's a really busy place. I made a few feeble attempts to get up on the wall, and preach, each time I got scared and so I walked around handing out tracts, and talking to folks. After three times of losing my nerve, I almost gave up and went home, and as I was about to give up, It came to me.(the spirits leading?).. The only way I can fail in this is to QUIT, and that I was NOT going to do!  I finally decided to head out into the center square, and after a quick prayer I headed out and started preaching the Gospel... People were looking at me, peeking around the bus's, trying to hide in their papers (crazy religious nut!) but as I was preaching, Gods word is powerful, and there were a few who were listening, for sure! When I was done, I thanked the crowd (?) for listening to me and I left... as I was walking, I was struck on how the Lord, didn't let me feel proud, or like I had accomplished something, more like it was something I was supposed to do!  I walked around talking with some more folks, handing out tracts, and felt a new vigor, and was actually looking for another place to preach!  

 We will never know how our sharing of the faith affects those around us, it is so important to be obedient to the Spirits leading, we don't know who the Lord may have led to us, to hear HIS Word and Gospel preached.  Remember  DON'T QUIT! and until the nets are full. FISH ON!
