Training Session Results
Last month we elaborated on the training session
we had with Treasure Valley Baptist Church, Pastor Rick
DiMichele, Meridian, Idaho (We
spell out Idaho, because no one knows that the initials "ID" is
for Idaho, IA is for Iowa. This is a pet peeve)
This month we would like to recount some of the
results the Lord gave at the Western Idaho Fair:
249 professions of faith in Jesus Christ - 78
received assurance - 345 received a witness, but made no
profession - 152 signed up to work over a 10 day period - 5000
tracts were distributed. A total of 672 personal contacts.
One man said he had possibly been making his
approach too complicated and started using the 3 + 3 + 3 =
Seated Method with good responses. Another said he used the
Method to effectively deal with the cults, being able to by pass
endless conversations.
There were several who won people for the very
first time. Days later they were still excited.
We talked to 3 different people with the church
and all said that the whole church was moved by what the Lord
had done, even members who did not work in the booth, but
recognized something had taken place and rejoiced.
I am going to ask this, but I already know the
answer, "Wouldn't you like to have something like this at your
church?" Sure you would. You can. Give us a call, lets
compare schedules.
One last statement, the comment that is most
prevalent in situations like the above is this, "We like the
idea of having people sent to us who are wanting to hear how to
be
saved and all we have to do is start right in and take them
to Jesus."
Teton County Fair, Teton, ID
Bro. Scot Pahlman, Pastor of Teton Baptist
Church, worked his local fair. It was very small. Only about
5000 in the whole county. His church is just getting started,
too. They did not have anyone make a profession of faith, but
they did get some tracts out and talked to some interested
prospects. The good part about this is Bro. Pahlman was not the
least bit dispirited over the results.
By the way, since he is trying to get his church
up and going, he would appreciate any prayers in his behalf. If
you know of a good prospect in his area, let him know. Some
churches may be looking for a good man to support, who is deep
in Morman Country and needs help over a period of time.

We must realize we are in the hardening and
softening business. We take the message and God does the
hardening or softening obliging each individual as to their
wishes. Everyone is effected. No one leaves the way they
came. They are either closer to Christ or further away. This
is great news to the soul winner. Every Tract, every Witness
does something to somebody. Only God knows what happens in the
hearts of men.
While at a recent event, a man walked up and
told Pat, "I got one of those (tracts) in San Antonio and I read
it and I got
saved." This happens with more frequency than we
relate in the Prayer Letter.

Praise the Lord for handling our
Trailer situation.
Praise the Lord for a expanded vision for the ministry.
Pray for our support.
* Expenses have risen sharply
* There is more that needs to be done
Pray for our health, support,
preaching meetings, training meetings, safety, booth fees, tract
costs, open hearts and spirit guidance.

Do not write our name on the check, indicate on a separate slip,
for whom it is intended. Pastor Haveman personally handles the
mission accounts. We receive 100% of all that is sent to our
account.
Our support is ever increasing, but our vision for Soul Winning
at Public Events is ever expanding. There is always much
more that can be done. If we report that we are fully
supported, mark us down as having lost our vision and the
guidance of the Spirit.
