Texas Rangers Outreach

Posted on May 11, 2015 by Carl

On May 2nd a group of 30 of us went to the Texas Rangers game and shared the Gospel. We distributed over 6,000 Gospel tracts. We had some one on one conversations.

We were blessed to do this outreach in conjunction with the Gospel for Asia School of Discipleship. The students do a great job at sharing the Gospel. We also had Scott and his sons from Louisiana and two new local contacts join us for the outreach.

Sporting events are a great opportunity to share the Gospel. You can position yourself on the sidewalk leading up to the stadium and simply hand tracts to people. Ask “did you get one of these?” and most people will take them.

We like to make “trivia” tracts to hand out at the event. At this game we had three different versions of our Baseball Trivia tracts. People like to take these as a souvenir and quiz themselves on the questions. The last question leads to the Gospel. One Million Tracts has baseball trivia tracts for many Major Leagues Baseball teams. Additional designs can be developed. And they can be developed for other sports as well. For more information on the Major League Baseball outreach or to order tracts in bulk please see the event page.

First Thursday Prayer – April 2015

Posted on March 28, 2015 by Carl

Prayer is our communication with God. It is vitality important to the life of any believer. Praying Hands bible And it is critical to our mission to reach the lost. We must be praying for God to fertilize the hearts of the unbelievers to be ready to receive the seed of the Gospel.

Each First Thursday of the month we gather for prayer for our nation, leaders and revival. Will you join us? In Carrollton we meet at City Hall. In Dallas we meet at HOBI International. Join us at one of these locations. Or start you own First Thursday prayer group at your office or City Hall.

This month the First Thursday is April 2nd which is also Maundy Thursday of Holy Week leading up to Easter. As we pray, let’s remember the sacrifice of Jesus to pay for the sin of the world. The verse selected to focus on is

And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself. (John 20:7)

If you start a group and would like to be added to our Meetup Group calendar please let us know. For the background on the First Thursday Prayer please see the Pray, Learn, Go website. As we look ahead to May, our First Thursday prayer coordinates with the National Day of Prayer. You can register a group with their website.

First Thursday Prayer March 2015

Posted on March 1, 2015 by Carl

Each month we gather in our communities and places of business to pray for our nation, leaders and revival. Jesus said to pray to the Lord of the harvest to raise up workers to go into the fields. This is a great opportunity to do this. Traditionally we meet at noon on the First Thursday of each month. But for some, noon may not work. So we would encourage you to schedule a First Thursday Prayer meeting in your community any time on the First Thursday of the month through the following Sunday. If you’d like to be listed on our Meetup Group then you can contact us.

For this months prayer meeting we encourage you to spend time in Psalm 18. David pens maybe his last Psalm (quickly capping the entirety):

David tells of his love for the Lord.
David tells of his deliverance by the Lord.
David tells of the faithfulness of God.
David tells of God’s Power
David lifts his voice in praise to the Lord

He maketh my feet like hinds’ feet, and setteth me upon my high places. The thought was a note taken in church some 22 yrs ago, “Anyone can walk down hill, It’s hard to walk uphill” Give encouragement that Jesus by his grace gives us the strength to keep on keeping on even when we feel we are walking uphill! (Psalm 18:33)

Please join us at one of our locations in Carrollton and Dallas. If your city is not listed let us know and we can add an event for you.

Dallas Mavericks vs Portland Trailblazers Outreach

Posted on February 20, 2015 by Carl

Twenty Nine of us met in Dallas on February 7, 2015 to share the Gospel before the Dallas Mavericks game against the Portland Trailblazers. We had students from Gospel for Asia’s School of Discipleship, Jim Wolfe, his son and two men from his church in New Boston and Tom and Martha with Seed Sowers of Texas join us.

We handed out over 5000 Gospel tracts to the 20,398 people who attended the game. That means that one in four people attending the game received a Gospel tract. Given that people are there in groups it is possible that half the people heard the Gospel that night! Praise the Lord!

First Thursday Pray December 2014

Posted on November 27, 2014 by Carl

Pray, Learn, Go – It’s the motto of our ministry. Join us the First Thursday of each month as we pray for our nation, leaders and revival!

So pray to the Lord who is in charge of the harvest; ask him to send more workers into his fields. (Matthew 9:38)

If you are in Dallas or Carrollton (6:30AM or noon) you can join us at one of our existing locations. Or you can host your own prayer meeting at your city hall or place of business. If you’d like to add an event to our meetup group so that people can join you then please contact us!

The suggested verse for this months prayer time is 1 Corinthians 10:12-13.

¹²Therefore let anyone who thinks that he stands take heed lest he fall. ¹³No temptation has overtaken you that is not common to man. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.

Happy Thanksgiving

Posted on November 27, 2014 by Carl

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good;
his love endures forever. (Psalm 118:1)

The United States is the first country to set aside a national holiday to give thanks to God. We as a nation have a lot to be thankful for living in a free country. As believers we even have more – salvation through Jesus Christ. When you couple the two together we have the freedom to share the gift of salvation with everyone we meet. Bezeugen Ministries exists to equip and encourage believers in Jesus to share the Gospel. We are thankful for all of you who partner with us through the tract club and outreaches to reach the lost with the Gospel. Join us today for a special Thanksgiving Tract Challenge by handing a tract to someone while wishing them Happy Thanksgiving. Then join the challenge every day on one of our social media pages!
