Promise for the Pilgrim

"He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it."  Mat 10:39

Victories in the Vineyard
 More about Public Event Ministry

La Salle County Fair - Wild Hog Cook Off - Cotulla, TX
The Lord gave us 35 professions of faith in Jesus Christ, 10 received a witness without making a profession, 1 received assurance of salvation, 800 tracts were put in willing hands. This was one of those events where it seemed that so many were willing to SEE what it takes to be born again.  Pat and I dealt with 46 on a personal basis.  There were so many more. 

Live Oak County Fair - Three Rivers, TX
We have been going to Three Rivers the last 3 years and it has been excellent.  The Lord gave us 33 professions of faith, 3 received a witness only and 1 got assurance.  We handed out only 400 tracts because we spent our time dealing with people at the counseling tables.  So very many want to SEE.  We emphasize "see" because when people are approached with the question of just seeing how to be born again, they are about 8-10 times more apt to sit down than when asked any other question.

Wild Hog Festival - Sabinal, TX
Don Myers, from Heritage Baptist Church in Bulverde worked this event in our stead, while we were at another.   Pastor Benson at First Baptist brought 4 soul winners and some others to just watch.  Bro. Myers sent them about 50-52 prospects and they had 25 make professions of faith.  An excellent event with careful planning and enthusiastic participation.   One person finds the prospects, the rest do the witnessing.  Now FOLLOW-UP!

Small Town Ministry
These small towns are excellent year after year because: 1) since the events are short, we cannot deal with everyone who wants to know; 2) neighboring small towns participate; 3) there is a new crop of 13 year olds every year (we only deal with 13 and up, unless we receive parents permission). 

Churches should utilize these events to …
* Witness to the Lost             
* Train members in soul winning
* Enhance a tract ministry      
* Touch their own community or a surrounding one.

Where is the starting place?
Call us and compare schedules.  We can train your members much, much faster and simpler than packaged plans, because members learn with live prospects, hands-on experience with very little class room instruction.

The heart of our method is 2-fold. 
* Train shift leaders to seat prospects with 3 simple questions. 15 minutes
* Train workers to witness only to prospects who have already asked to SEE how to be saved. 45 minutes

Churches with little or no soul winning experience have dozens make professions their first time out.  They also experience excitement, enthusiasm and a deeper desire to do more.

"If an attempt is not made, it will always seem speculative."

Terrific Testimonies
More Exciting Testimonies

Kelli       25
I was saved.

Kellie wanted to see what it was about and got it.  Wouldn't you like to talk to someone who has asked to see what it takes to be saved?

Chris       18
I was just saved by God with the help of you.

"and how shall they hear without a preacher?" (not a sermonizer, but a witness)

Garrett       14
I laughed (inside).  I got saved.

Garrett was "tickled" about his new birth.

Brett       20
I cleared my sins.

Brett did not just begin a new start or a fresh slate.  All of his sins from birth to death were placed on Jesus.

Curtis       15
I just got saved by Jesus Christ our Lord.  It feels great.

We all know enough to not go by "feelings", but we also know that just being saved is a real feeling and it does feel great.  Take the Gospel out yourself and watch the Lord work.

Florie       21
He forgave me for all of my sins.

Florie did not just receive forgiveness for her past sins, but all her sins.

Jesse       19
I learned I am 100% born again and my sins are paid for.

His brother Josh, who was already saved sat with him while he heard the Gospel.  This type of thing happens a lot more often than imagined.  Don't you want to be present when it happens again?

Points for Prayer and Praise
More to Pray About

Everyone is feeling the "Pain at the Pump".  Fuel prices are wrecking budgets.  We have had to cut back on road time to necessities, but there are times when it cannot be helped and the oil companies win out anyway.  If your church is able to increase its mission giving, keep us in mind.  Our ministry is not very glamorous, but we see the Gospel presented to hundreds and hundreds, while retaining contact info for follow-up.

Pray for our stamina.  It is good, and we must keep it there.

We need your help to continue to move forward in winning the lost.
