Street Ministry Update: Young Man Surrenders His Life


Its so exciting to go out and share the Gospel. People need Jesus! We Christian's have the solution. Many people are hurting - many are confused - many are deceived - many are plain just ignorant. I desire to do my part to reach them with the saving Gospel.



Larry Christopuls, Keven Privett and myself went out last night to minister Jesus on the streets of Elkhart. We met at the plaza in downtown Elkhart and headed out. We go just trusting Jesus to lead us-We have no certain agenda or program-Just being lead of the Holy Spirit.



God lead us to a young man named William who was just sitting on a plaza bench waiting for his ride to show up. This certainly was a "God set-up" and we engaged a conversation with him and talked with him for about 45 minutes. He shared his desire to be set free from destructive habits and a lifestyle that was a mess.




We shared with him the Gospel and God's desire to set him free from sin and destruction.
William surrendered his life tonight to Jesus to serve Him and live for Him! PRAISE GOD!!
I cant help but think of what Jesus said: "tell you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent." Luke 15:7 Amen!!

We shared with William the importance of reading the Word and prayer and being discipled.
He lives near a Full Gospel Church and he knows the Pastor. He said he was going to go to Church this Sunday and talk to the Pastor.

We went on our way rejoicing!

We then met a young man who was a muslim and spend a great deal of time ministering to him.
He was really confused and deceived. We planted some awesome Gospel seed, believing God to keep convicting and drawing this man.

We then came across a man, named John, who just recently got out of jail and has been fighting with his wife, he left her and is living on the streets. He knows the truth of the Gospel but is not willing to surrender all to Jesus. We must have ministered to him for nearly and hour. Sharing the Word with him and pleading with him to give his entire life to Jesus.

Kevin bought the man some food at McDonalds and was going back Saturday to continue ministering to him. Please pray for Kevin to have the right words and for John to come to Jesus!

It was great evening ministering Jesus on the streets. If anyone would desire to come out with us please contact me. Were praying for God to keep sending laborers to go out where the lost are.

God bless
Steve
