Gearing up for out biggest outreach ever

On the 7th of November we will have our biggest outreach ever.  We are consistent on preaching 6 nights a week.  But now, on Saturday we will get all our teams together and plant SEVEN boxes in our town square and preach for SEVEN hours, translating our messages into SEVEN languages (English, Chinese, Romanian, Bulgarian, Arabic, French, German)  All this to celebrate out SEVENTH anniversary!  Starting at 11 a.m. (4:00 a.m. cdt)  Pray for us.



Two Demonstrations – One with a million another with 60

This weekend was crazy. Past the red box marched a bunch of women, about 60 of them… all up in arms. Oh, wait, those are women, they are men. About 60 transvestites marched past our preaching spot to demand that the government pay for their sex-change operations. Hmmm.

Evangelism that night was crazy. I preached the statistics message and mentioned how different people die in Spain each year. When I said that 120,000 die because of abortion, oh my. Off went the fireworks. People started screaming at me.

The next day we marched with more than a million pro-life folks. Preaching afterwords was incredible. Big crowds, attentive, there was authority and anointing. Great conversations. A fabulous night of evangelism from our human perspective. (From God’s perspective, every night is fabulous)

Second night!

Second night of evangelism

So Pastor Slavko asked me if I thought the second night was better. Well, I told him, we had new people giving testimonies, two guys that preached and illustrated message for the very first time and several that did personal evangelism RedBox style. Man it was great to see. Tomorrow I will show you a short video clip of them all. I am so proud of them.

One missionary told me that for years they told her street ministry didn’t work in Bosnia. Well, she said, now I can see that it does.

The three pastors that were with us during the conference realized that in ONE NIGHT OF EVANGELISM ON THE STREET, WE REACHED MORE PEOPLE WITH THE GOSPEL THAN ALL OF THEIR CHURCHES PUT TOGETHER, if you counted the people that went to their churches as visitors. We cannot disregard a style of evangelism that has worked since the time of Jonah.

What did the Pastor think of evangelism last night?

First night on the street

Wow. And I mean wow. I was so delighted to see the openness of the folks on the street. About 20 Christians joined us. They put out two literature tables and there were constantly people coming up to get free books and bibles. There were church bells ringing, muslim calls to prayer over the sound systems and then the voice of an open-air evangelist heralding the Good News. GREAT conversations! I prayed with two people. Kevin prayed for two also. Talked to Muslims, Orthodox, Catholics and overall, everyone has the same excuses. All justify sin. But I was amazed at how open everyone was. Great unity among the churches… They are ripe for a RedBox!

Video greeting

From Sarajevo

Tonight I was walking through the old section of town when the cannon sounded!  It was the signal during Ramadan that the sun was down and people can now eat.  Walking down the sidewalk I saw a couple sitting in front of their store drinking turkish coffee.  I was so excited to see such a thing that I commented on it.  Next thing I know he hands me a cup, puts in a lump of sugar and I joined them for coffee.  Friends just had to wait for me as I finished a very good cup of brew.
