STREET MINISTRY UPDATE



With the warmer weather finally upon us a small team of us hit the streets of Elkhart to minister Jesus!!

Bill Lehman, Justin Reeves and I went out sharing Jesus to whosoever God would lead us to. It was a great night! Really, it turned out to be a busy night even with the threat of rain and thunderstorms there were still many people out and about.

We ministered to many people this night. Two different homeless guys, a Hispanic couple who had some real pagan beliefs, we talked with 2 guys who were carrying a case a beer home. We bumped into these guys as we were all waiting for the light to change as to cross the street. Sometimes God just sets these appointments up, as this was quite the encounter. They seemed pretty quite as we shared with them that Jesus is better than drunken stupor. Justin did a good job sharing with these men.

We also met a Grandma lady with her 3 small children. Bill Lehman ministered to them and really planted some good Gospel seed. We bumped into a young couple who were atheists and seemed uncomfortable listening to us but the word and testimony of Jesus was spoken to them. They even tried to get away from us quickly but their dog they were walking broke loose from the guys grip and ran straight back to us.—The pooch wanted to hear a little more of the Gospel!!-Amen!

The enemy is sure at work in this area and doesn’t want us out there ministering the Gospel. One incident we had ie were just walking down the street and a car drove by and some demonized guy stuck his head out the window and started screaming vulgar profanities at us. But we prayed for the guy and kept on our Gospel way!!—Praise God!! It was a great first night of street ministry!!
