Promise for the Pilgrim

“For he mightily convinced the Jews, and that publicly, showing by the scriptures that Jesus was Christ.”
  Acts 18.28

Victories in the Vineyard

Shivaree Festival - Gatesville, TX
As always, Calvary Baptist Church and Pastor Bogan worked this event.  The Lord gave us 20 asking to be saved, 9 more receiving only a witness and another 11 got assurance.  Over 800 received a tract in their hand.

There were many good things that took place, but one man, a soldier and full blooded Native American sat down, even though his friends jibbed him a about it.  He was serious and said little.  With joy he asked the Lord to save him.  Only God could find a man in South Dakota, get him to Fort Hood, then have him assigned to the detail that came over to the Festival to show off their Tanks and Helicopters, then have him walk in front of our booth and hear our invitation to "SEE WHAT IT TAKES TO BE BORN AGAIN."

Watermelon Jubilee - Stockdale, TX
Denny and Roberta Wallace helped again or we helped them.  The Lord sent 30 by the booth.  20 asked to be saved, 5 got a witness only and 3 received assurance of salvation.  Over 240 gladly took a tract. 
A girl with her mother came walking up to the booth and looked  up and said, "This is where I got saved."   They had seen us at a county fair in another town where the girl was saved.  Pat and both of them recognized each other immediately.  Pat remembered, because the mother sat with the daughter during the witness.  The mother was saved already and wanted  the daughter to hear it. 

Later the daughter brought her father by and told him the same thing.  Pat thought she may have brought him by to hear how to be saved, but he already knew the Lord.  Writing this on paper does not translate the excitement that the family felt, nor the 4 of us in the booth.

Words for Soul Winners and Warners

Getting in front of the lost.
Since the unsaved will not come to church, "We have got to somehow put ourselves face to face with the lost, in order to relate the Gospel to them."  Most of the time this can be a formidable task.  But at public events the lost come to us.  "At our fishing hole, you don't cut bait and use hooks, the catch jumps in the boat."
We set up our booth and wait for them to walk by.   We use 3 Questions to Greet, Meet and Seat them for a witness.  These 3 Questions (all that must be memorized) are used to get their attention, discover their eternal status and sit them down in front of another worker. 
1) No Confrontations
2) No Arguments; 
3) No Meeting Objections; 
4) No Hours of Classroom Time; 
5) No Community Backlash; 
6) Re-Contact Info Obtained with Short Testimony; and much more;
7) All training is hands-on;
8) Witness only to those who have already ASKED TO SEE what it takes to be Born Again;
9) All witnessing is done at a table with chairs, for a comfortable, un-rushed experience;
10) Use a Witness Pamphlet which lends itself to be read with the prospect and given to them for their review later;
11) Leave with new vigor for reaching the lost.   
Who is reaching your community, the Lord or the devil?  Tell the Lord you will reach it for Him.

Touching Testimonies

Laura         27

I accepted Jesus as my Saviour and was forgiven for my sins.

Laura was sure about forgiveness.

Tzi Tzi       13

All my sins have been forgiven for my past and future.

Tzi Tzi seemed very earnest.  Asked all the right questions.  She was with her sister and mother.  All 3 asked the Lord to save them.

Koby          13

God let me go of all my sins.

Koby and teens his age, even some younger, seem to express themselves in remarkable ways.

Rosa           68

I believe in Jesus and now I know I am saved.

Rosa seems to have found what she was looking for.

Adelio        10

I felt like God went in my heart.

Adelio was with his family, who all asked the Lord to save them.  He seems to be another one of those kids with a unique way of saying what happened.

Kristen       14

I prayed to God to repent of my sins so He could save me and I could have eternal life in Heaven with God.

Kristen obviously had the seed planted and watered before coming to the both.

Points for Prayer and Praise

Pray for Amazing Grace Mission.  Dr. James Gardner has passed on to be with the Lord and leaves a big hole to be filled.  His son, John Gardner, has been president for some time and does an excellent job.  But, when one of the best leaves, there is a vacuum for a while.  Pray for our support.  Thank the Lord it is has held up well during these difficult economic times.  Pray for mercy for our nation, so that God does not give us what we deserve.
