AWESOME NIGHT OF STREET MINISTRY!!

We Had a great time on the streets of Elkhart tonight!! Larry Christoplus and myself headed to down town Elkhart to share Jesus!! It was a great evening. With the temperature over 90 degrees there were many people outside wandering around.

Larry Serves as an Elder in a Full Gospel Church he attends in Bristol, IN. Best of all Larry loves Jesus with all his heart!! and he has a passion to see people reached with the Gospel.
We had no other agenda than to be lead of the Spirit and minister to those who God brought across our path.















We met this gentleman named John in the back alley of the Faith Mission. He has been a resident at the Mission for three years. He shared with us his conversion testimony also his need for deliverance to tobacco. We prayed for him to be set free and for God to give him the strength to resist the temptation.

















We met Dennis on the streets tonight. He shared with me the struggles and trials he's been dealing with multiple illnesses and mental problems with suicide thoughts. It was literally heart breaking to hear this man situation. But I know nothing is impossible with God. I shared the Gospel with him and read to him from the Word, letting him know that Jesus loves him and wants to minister to his every need. Please say a prayer for Dennis.
















We met these 2 guys on the civic plaza. Two brothers in the Lord who were just chillin' or try to get cool. We talked to them for a while and encouraged them in the Lord.

We ministered to several other people tonight. One that stands out is a young man named Kevin. He had just gotten off work and was walking home. He crossed paths with us and we started ministering the Gospel to him. He admitted he was away from God and living a life of sin. We pleaded with him to repent, that no man is promised tomorrow. We laid it on the line with him sharing what the Bible has to say about Eternal Judgment and Hell fire. We did share that God loved him and desired to save him but he had to come to God on God's terms. One thing I learned a while ago, I will never water down the repentance message to get a few "decisions" or to just say a "little prayer". The Bible says no man come to the Father unless the Spirit of God draws him. Yes, it broke my heart to see Kevin walk away from the Gospel. But I know Kevin heard the truth and my prayer is that God by the Holy Spirit will continue to convict and draw Kevin to true conversion "total surrender to Jesus"!! Amen!! Please say a prayer for Kevin.

Praise God!! It was a great night!! Thanks for all your prayers!!

God Bless,
-Steve
