Jonathan Edwards


Jonathan Edwards who preached thefamous, "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God." While this sermon was being delivered men and women screamed out for mercy, lest they fall immediately into an eternal Hell. Modernist and false religions have perverted the Word as to remove the fact of Hell.

Many sinner scoff at the preaching of Hell. They turn aside any warning of judgment. They think the idea of Hell has passed away with the last generation. Sixty seconds after death they shall find out the truth of the Word; there is fire in Hell.

...Oh God, stir us and compell us to reach the duped masses on their way to hell.

Bibles and New Freezer

A Big thank you!.. to everyone who gave toward the Bibles!.. They arrived today. A total of 800 New Testaments - 200 Full Bibles and 200 hundred Gospel of John's.

This should supply us for a while!

Were believing for souls to be saved, backsliders coming home and disciples growing in the things of God, through these Bibles.

Also, recently we purchased an item we needed big time. A Chest freezer.

So many times on our outreaches we would have hot dogs or buns leftover or other items with really no place to save them for the next outreach. So Praise God!.. This is a 7.0 Cubic Chest freezer that we will be able to freeze left over food and even purchase items when they are on sale to freeze- this will help make the dollar go further... Amen.. (being good stewards) To God be the glory!

**- Also, this Friday night we are planning on hitting the neighborhoods in Elkhart, passing out flyers to the upcoming Island Park Outreach. We will be going door to door. We could use help!!...The more flyers that get distributed the more people will come to the outreach, plus we will be witnessing and praying over people.. It's gonna be good!!

We will meet at the McDonald's (parking lot) on South Main Street in Elkhart at 6:15pm ..split into teams, pray and go out for JESUS!!

Any questions please email me or call me.

God bless

OUTREAH CONCERT RECAP.. IT WAS A GREAT DAY!!


Hey everyone!
Thanks so much for the prayers toward the Juvenile outreach. It was an absolute incredible concert/ministry.

The staff at South Bend Juvenile Correction was awesome to work with. Mrs. Beverly William the coordinator/director came in on her Saturday to help make everything go smoothly directing the young men and working with staff. We shout a big "thank-you!" to her- Hey Beverly, your awesome! (in picture is me and Beverly in front of the courtyard.)

The Band PS150 (Brandon, Sami, Moses and Joe) did an outstanding job with music and ministry. We were allowed to have this concert in the courtyard outside which was great! The sound was jammin' good. The lifeline team showed up in abundance, a great size group around 20 of us, along with a few from RAVEN ministries.

All but four young men were able to come to the event, ninety-nine total were there. Along with the music and ministry from PS150, we shared a few testimonies and ministered from the Word between sets of songs. We even had one the staff leaders sing an incredible song which was so anointed! The kids just loved it! We praise God for that.

At the end of the concert we had an altar call/prayer time and this was incredible, as half the kids came forward for prayer and ministry. I personally had some cool ministry with a few guys who were Christians they asked for prayers for a deeper walk with God, safety for their families, and bad habits to leave.

We were then allowed to feed the guys lunch. My dad and I grilled the hotdogs earlier in the morning at home. The facility wasn’t able to allow us to bring the grills in (we couldn’t take pictures inside as well.) so we had previously grilled the hotdogs and packed them in coolers to stay warm. It turned out well! ..Anyway, we were able to serve the guys lunch. 2 hotdogs, chips, 2 cookies and lemonade. It was so neat serving these guys, just like Jesus did, He came to serve and not be served, so this was a great example to the young men. The team did an outstanding job humbling themselves and serving the plates of food to the guys.

When the guys got their lunch they all single filed into the gym to eat. This was pretty neat as we were able to continue to talk and minister to the guys as they were eating and finishing up eating, which lead to some incredible ministry and prayers of salvation. I personally had two young men who never called out to God to be saved- they asked me for prayer for God to help them stay out of trouble and to take bad habits away, in which I assured Him would give them the strength to overcome- but they needed to get right before God- calling out to Jesus for salvation. They both prayed, repenting and asked God to forgive them and to save them. .. Praise God! These two fellows names are Zach and Brent. Please keep them in your prayers.

All the other Lifeline/Raven ministers were canvassed around the gym ministering/praying with everyone they could- it was an awesome site. In all, sixteen young men called out to the Lord for salvation! Hallelujah! Praise God!

Totally awesome day! We made some great relationships this day and another cool thing is we will continue to minister/disciple these guys as we go into South Bend Juvenile Correction every Friday and two Tuesday’s a month. Then as the guys left the gym we handed out over seventy Bibles.

Please saints, continue to pray for these guys. We know the only hope for our young people is Jesus and a personal relationship with Him!..Amen!

Thanks so much for the prayers! God bless.

PURCHASING SOME BIBLES

Hi everyone,

We could use your help!

Many of you know that at in all of our evangelistic outreaches we offer free Bibles to everyone we meet. We always have a free Bible table where we give out free Bibles, tracts and Christian books.

What a joy it is to give the life changing Gospel to people. So many people don’t have a Bible or they have one that is hard to understand.

Through Lifeline’s jail- juvenile, ministry to the incarcerated, to street ministry in the parks and neighborhoods, to going door to door during our Christmas ham outreaches, we have probably given away well over a thousand Bibles or more. Praise God! We know the Word of God-the message of the cross changes lives.

Recently, I was checking our Bible supply and noticed it is real low.
I was just mentioning this to Jodi that we need to purchase some more Bibles and that day we got a promotional flyer in the mail from one of the places we purchase Bibles from (cool timing huh?).

This promotional flyer has the lowest prices I have seen in Bibles in quite a long time. We can get a full Bible for $1.99 (NIV). New Testaments are priced at .86 cents each. If we make our order over $175.00 then we get free shipping. This really is some of the best prices I have seen in a while- the prices are good until July 22nd.

Would you please pray to see if God would have you help sow into this purchase of Bibles?

A case of 50 New Testament Bibles (NIV version) are $43.00.
A case of 20 full Bibles (NIV version) are $39.80

Every cent we get will go toward the purchase of these Bibles and your giving is tax deductible as Lifeline Outreach Ministries is a non-profit 501c3 ministry.

There a couple of different ways to give

You can donate on-line through pay pal (a secure safe way to donate on-line)
We have a paypal "Donate" button on the very bottom of the Life Line Outreach Ministry blog (Web Site). - just scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the button.

You can also mail a check to:

Lifeline Outreach Ministries
23060 Scottswood Ct.
Elkhart, IN 46514

A third way to help is for those who live near me in Elkhart, IN you can donate Bibles and Christian Books. You can contact me and we can work out the arrangements.

Thanks everyone! Please pray for God to draw the lost, to read these Bibles, and to call out to Jesus!
God bless!
