WWOOOOOW!!!! What a day!!! 6 of us (Anna, Alex, Isaac, Wyatt, Julia and myself) took the bus from Kent Station to Safeco Field. Handed out a few tracts at the bus stop. The devil tried to stop us by making the bus have a malfunction, but the Lord was watching over us, so there was another bus that came along shortly! (Cool! More people to give tracts to!)

When we got to the stadium, it was about 4:00ish, there were already tons of people there. We immediately started to hand out tracts to everyone in site! About an hour after that, we finally met up with Lisa, Toby, and Merob, who were handing out their “Holy, Holy, Holy” tracts.
We stayed down there for several hours, and left about 7:30 or so.  We ran out of the Mariner’s Tracts fairly early on, so we had about 300 “Millions” and “Trillions” to give away. Not too many one 2 one conversations, as there were faaaar too many people for that.

I did have a couple of conversations with 2 agnostic gentlemen, (Matt and I didn’t get his friend’s name) and a nice young man on the bus from Jamaica whose name was Maxwell. Please pray for them!
ALSO~the Lord was good to us by providing us with a beautiful day without rain, (even though the weather man said that we were supposed to have some!)

I’m exhausted! Going to bed, and then we’ll head out to do it all over again tomorrow!

THANK YOU Jesus, for a WONDERFUL day serving You!

Rockies Opener Evangelism

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Carl

Evangelism Team!

Following the Rockies opener evangelism, Stephen wrote on his BLOG:

What a great day we had yesterday in Denver.  It was opening day for the Colorado Rockies and we had 15 saints from all around Colorado there to witness.  We got there about 3 hours before the game and there were already thousands of people all over the place.  The weather turned out to be perfect, and the people must have wanted to enjoy it downtown, because it seemed half the town was there.  So we set up in different areas and had 2-3 people preaching and the rest handing out tracts and witnessing 1-2-1.  The crowds became almost crushing and tens of thousands heard the Gospel to the glory of God.

Please see the complete article and more pictures on his BLOG.

White Sox Outreach

Posted on April 9, 2011 by Carl
Tom in Chicago sent me this update on the outreach at the White Sox game:

White Sox (partial) team

We had a cold, cloudy day but a great team of eight men (and sons).  Our team was myself and my son, my pastor Steve, Chuck, Will and his son (not pictured), another Steve (not pictured, and Robert (not pictured).  As you can see, we met some colorful characters such as “Sox Man” and “Sox Girl”.  Super heroes need the gospel too!  We were able to get out 2,393 tracts in about two hours.  May the Lord bring a harvest from this effort!

Pirates Outreach

Handing out tracts.

Here is the report from Jennifer on the outreach at the Pirates game:

We had 3 people hand out tracts before the Game and 2 people handing out tracts after the game.  More than 5000 tracts were handed out during the game.  I did not get pictures of the team but I did get pictures of people that got tracts.  We talked to lots of people and we were able to hand out tracts during the entire game people were coming and going.

Glad to get tracts!

Posing with tracts!

Urgent Prayer Request

Posted on April 7, 2011 by Carl

Many of you have heard about the evangelist/missionary in Uganda that Bezeugen has been working with for over two years now. Moses was raised as a Muslim and converted to Christianity after reading a Bible he was given for his birthday. He first contacted me a couple years ago asking for assistance with Gospel tracts and resources. After sending some tracts, we verified who he was and traced him to being supported by Grace Bible Church in Troutville, VA. I spoke to Pastor Steve Dollar there and he verified who Moses is and told me that his small church was providing support for Moses.

Over the last couple of years we have sent thousands of tracts to Moses and he has distributed them all over Uganda while preaching the Gospel. The Good News / Bad News tract was originally developed to send to Moses. In addition, the God’s Way / Man’s Way tract was developed for overseas mission and the Swahili translation was completed to send to Moses.

Moses is doing the Lord’s work in Uganda. And he has been under significant spiritual attack for it for a long time. Last summer Satan turned up the heat when Moses was in a building that was bombed. This postponed the filming of a movie that Moses was working on with Pastor Steve called Pushing Humanity Higher Uganda. Well, around the beginning of the year, Moses had finally healed from his injuries in the bombing and took a crusade around Uganda filming the project. Then pastor Steve received an email on Friday, February 4th that read:

Dear pastor steve its me Arthur,
iam in total shock, my brother Moses was involved

Moses’ car

in a car accident on their way back to kampala after the recording of the movie together with all the film crew.
we were called in the morning by the filming company after they also recieved a call from unknown person after finding one of the company identity cards of the people who were filming.

Mose was returning at around 6am in the morning..he had called me to tell me that the video

The car that Moses was in

was a success and by 11 am they will be in kampala ..he said..The devil never wanted this video But Thank God we have the Victory…he told me to prepare for him his best dish…i cant write anymore pastor Steve.
The fotos attached were taken by one of the people from the filming crew who arrived there early..ive just recieved them from their offices and i thought i would send them to you..
we need prayers..we need support..i havent see Moses because they are not in kampala..they were admitted in one of the Hospitals along the main highway to Kampala.

we need you! he is our only brother!….he doesnt have to die, I know God loves him more than i do but ….he was about to to….

am sorry i cant write…am shaking..
we need anyone ..we need you..
we just dont know what to do.

It is two months later now. Moses is still in the hospital recovering. There is urgent need for prayer for healing. There are also finances that need to be paid in order for Moses to get out of the hospital and have proper care to heal so that he can return to his mission. Today Pastor Steve forwarded me the following message:

Praise the Name of the Lord!
Pastor Steve, iam writting to let you know that we have an emergency and we need to raise four hundred Uganda shillings which is two hundred Dollars in two weeks so that moses can be able to go home. ive been trying the best i can but there seem little hope.
I will be grateful to recieve from you. God bless you

Please pray for healing. Please pray for how you might be involved. For more information you can visit PHH Uganda on Facebook.

Dodgers Outreach

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Carl

Handed out close to 700 tracts in a couple of hours, stayed low key and under radar of Security Guards by God’s Protection. People were thanking me and were friendly, didn’t see any thrown on the ground, so I pray that The Lord would be Glorified and Many would be drawn unto His Son Jesus Christ in Repentance towards God and Faith in The Lord Jesus Christ.

Cubs Outreach

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Carl

I got the following note from Tom about their outreach at the

Steve, Tom and Tom's son at the Cubs outreach!

Cubs game:

Our team was myself and my son, Steve, and Robert (who took the picture).  We arrived two and a half hours early and the crowds were already gathering so we were busy right away.  There was a bit of rain but not enough to stop us.  We handed out 1,483 tracts in all.  May the Lord mightily use our small effort.  Looking forward to tomorrow when we hit the White Sox Opening Day!  It’ll be tricky since the entire park is on private property but we can catch the crowds as they come off the trains to go into the park area.

Cardinals Outreaches

Posted on April 6, 2011 by Carl

Tom Burgee lead outreaches to the Cardinals games on March 31 and April 2. Here is an excerpt from his BLOG on how he described the outreach on March 31:

I had originally intended on attending only April 2nd, the first weekend of the home opener, but then heard about a “Cardinals rally” at a nearby plaza and made plans to attend that as well. I thought I’d be alone, but a faithful and dedicated brother jumped on board and he and I handed out over 2,000 tracts in only a couple hours. a few conversations were had and it was a great day literally 2500 people got the gospel in their hands…

and April 2

Saturday came and… nearly everyone who had said they would come didn’t, I’ll admit I was more than a little disappointed, but our God is amazing. God had sent two brothers to hand out tracts and share the gospel with us.  Four of us, handed out nearly 1,000 tracts to local game goers in the couple hours before game time, we had several amazing conversations, and above all God was glorified. He provided the tracts, He provided the laborers, and He will give the increase.

Please read the complete article in the St Louis Witnessing BLOG.
