Final Outreach

Our final day in Columbus was a wet one, so much so it flooded the lobby and walk ways leading to  the restrooms. God still brought them in around 80 souls. We ended the three day outreach with a little over 300 total. Meet a man from last years event who received the Lord and wanted to let us know he still had our track right by his side to keep reminding him of our Lords grace. We will head tomorrow to Conroe, TX to meet with a pastor friend of ours and share with his group what has been going on with the ministry, then head back Friday to Arkansas for the weekend. We are so blessed that our Lord would use us to be part of His Kingdom work.

Day 2 of Outreach

Day 2 started off rainy and slow. We began to pray for a bus to come in and before we knew it, a bus we received. 43 Chinese men and women all received a warm drink, snack and the gospel. They were eager to hear about Jesus, like kids in a candy store. We had 3 highway workers who decided to stop. One man said to his coworkers, " you do realize this stop wasn't an accident. God was setting us up. Isn't HE great." They had been talking about God and asking questions to each other. And then here HE was. Offering His Word. They took everything we had on the table; Bibles, Life Books, and tracks. We also meet a Street Pastors from Ukrain. We'll share about their amazing ministry later.

Day 1 Outreach in Columbus Texas

Day 1 was very interesting. We reached over 120 people with food and warm drinks. Prayed for people and witnessed to others. Some spirited debates if that's what you want to call it. Meet a slew of pastors with different types of reactions to what we where doing. It was easy to see the Religious pastors compared to the Holy Spirit filled pastors. Much more to say but I'll leave it there for now. Time to prepare for day two. Blessings upon you all in Christ.

Final day at Salado

Day three of the outreach moved us inside due to the bad weather. It turned out to be our biggest day of the three. Over 235 came in to get either a warm cup of coffee or a hot chocolate plus a bite to eat. We had many Christians and some Pastors who were excited about how we were sharing the gospel and were going to pursue more of an outreach attitude in their churches, which really excited us. We did a total of 500 for the 3 days. We look forward to our next 3 day outreach in Columbus, TX starting Monday. Until then, please keep us in prayer.

Day 2 of Outreach

Day 2 of the Salado outreach had some unenjoyable weather. We experienced cold temps, rain and lots of wind, but we pushed through and talked to many people. We found our day full of conversations to uplift and encourage other Believers during their trials and heartaches. We had one youth return from his car and told Earl that he had inspired him and made his day, and then asked if he could take a selfie with Earl. It was a day full of, "Jesus loves you, He never leaves you nor forsakes you."

Day 1 in Salado, TX

Today was day 1 of our 3 day outreach in Salado, TX at the Truck Stop. We served 139 people today. One gentleman asked us what was the difference between "being Spiritual" and "Jesus".  He wanted to be able to explain it to his 16 year old son who didn't see the difference between one or the other. Earl shared the gospel that Jesus is the Way, Truth, and the Life. He was very excited to now be able to share this with his son. We shared the gospel with many others and look forward to day 2.
