Dave Matthews Concert

Prayer partners,
Sorry I haven't been doing my FAITH Blog this time around. In the past I would blog about the Tuesday's class and the results of the visits for my prayer partners. Here is the blog to check out past semesters (FAITH blog) . I should have this one posted there too.

We had a good night. Robert sent me to the Dave Matthews concert to hand out track and if possible do some one-on-one witnessing, Way of the Master style. If you don't know this is a way of witnessing that I do with a group of friends about every other week (see groups site). It is an easy way to talk to strangers on the street. It preaches the law. Shows them that their sinners, and let them know what they must do. Here an example: (Witnessing Clips)

Back to our night. I had Tim and Tammy with me. We didn't have a lot of time, only about 15 minuets once we got there. Because of the time constraints, we decided that Tammy would just drop us off and come get us in 15 minuets. In this short amount of time we were able to hand out 150, million dollar tracts (not 150 million, dollor tracts). Since people were moving and on their way to the concert, we didn't have a lot of opportunities to talk directly to people about the gospel. I did, however, talk to 3 parking attendants, two of them claimed to be saved and one did really say much.

When we left there we needed to hand out a bible. I have some Million Dollar New Testaments, that match my Bible tracts. I decided to stop in at one of the lottery locations and give it away. I asked a guy leaving if he got his winnings yet and handed him a million dollar tract. After talking with him for a little bit, I gave him the bible.

It was a great night, something different than usual. The best part of the night came when we got back. Julie's team went door knocking and we now have a new sister in Christ. An elderly lady was saved. She ended up being an in-home care giver to one of our Church members.

Thanks all for praying!

The Greatest Show on Earth

We had a chance to hand out some bible tracts at a large event in North Little Rock. A couple friends and I meet up every other week to share the gospel on the streets. This time we chose the Circus at Alltel arena.

There were a lot of people there. We handed out a few hundred tracts in just a couple hours. Even though there were so many people, we still didn’t have a chance for any one-on-one conversations. With it being the just before show time, people were in a hurry, but people were very excited to get our Million Dollar Bible Tracts. We even had a new zillion dollar and the incredible shrinking dollar, which is great for the down turn in the economy.

It was so cold I have to get something to warm me up, so I walked to a conveiant store next to Alltel. I gave the cashier a million for the good service. He made such a big deal out of it I have to give everyone there one.

Witnessing In Little Rock

Went out door knocking on Thursday. I met up with John Scuderi from KAAY and Paul Davis, no relation to me, from Heritage Baptist. I met John on a evangelism web site a couple of months ago. He was searching for someone to go out witnessing with him. Our schedules finally matched up to were we were able to go. We met with a group at Heritage and went door knocking somewhere in Little Rock. A very, very nice neighborhood were all the houses were craftsman style with perfect yards and landscaping. I was nervous and just wanted to observe. Just set back see how others shared the gospel.

After a few houses they asked if I wanted to take this one. I agreed and knocked on the door. A woman answered the door and found out her name was Susan. I asked her about Church and she almost immediately started crying. She talked about how she knows she needs to be in Church and that she was an agnostic. She admitted that she was and Alcoholic and has attended AA several times with no success. She didn't like the name God. I asked Her if she would like for me to share how the bible says that a person gets to heaven. She agreed.

She had lots of question mainly about finding God. She knew she needed help and kept referring to a "higher power", I assume that is something taught in AA. It was hard for her to believe in something she can’t see or touch. We explained to several ways and ministered to her. We answered several of our questions. One question that she had was, " Why did the tsunami happen that killed all those people. We tried to explain to her that death, hurt, Desi's, and destruction was all because of sin. Not that their sins were any worse than ours. God created a perfect place and because sin was introduced everything must die. We tried to turn it back to her, because is was her sins that she must account for on judgment day. We had to be standing on her porch for at least 45 minutes. We realized and I believe she did to, that our meeting was not by accident. God sent us there that day. Paul and his Church are going to follow up and continue to minister to her. Please pray for her salvation and her ability through Christ to kick this habit. Pray from Paul and he continues to minister to her.
