Today was the climax to an awsome weekend. The Pastor of our local church has designated every fifth Sunday as evangelism outrech Sunday. Every thing is geared to evangelism.

Yesterday Nancy and I took out a team for one on one street witnessing. We had 33 receive Christ.

Our autorium seats 403 so today was called 403 Sunday. With a desire to fill every seat. We had 416. About 25 came forward to reeceive Christ. Several families from the saturday outreach were there.

This followed with a BBQ, jump houses for the kids. Just a really great weekend, and souls to the kingdom of God.

Thank's dalebert,

what is refressing is the zeal of those who went to the streets to witness. Like most people at first they were scared, nervous. Most had never done anything like this.

After a little while and a few rejections you could see a determination arise in them and they were hooked. And when people began to give their hearts to Christ, WOW the excitement was so powerful.

We are starting training program for more outreach teams that will hit the streets. Teams that will go to the parks with puppets and dramas. Teams to go into government housing areas with free hotdog, burgers and will do music concerts. All the while the evangelism teams will be ministering to the people and leading them to Christ.

Those that receive Christ their names are given to the small care group leaders in their areas and followed up immediately. How can the church help them, what are their needs, physical, spiritual as a family.

While Nancy and I are missionaries, and most of our work is overseas, we still have a passion for the local church and when we are not out on the field we try to be as active as possible at home.
